Polaris, the brand that leads global ATV sales, has been innovating since 1985 with their first American-made models, the Trail Boss 250 and the Scrambler 250.

Fun and Exciting

Owning an ATV is a great way to make any outdoor activity more exciting. It's the perfect choice for those looking for an adrenaline rush while they explore nature.

ATVs are generally more versatile, comfortable, and stable, but they may be louder, less fuel efficient, and heavier. Dirt bikes are generally faster, more agile, and lower maintenance, but they may be less comfortable, less stable, and more expensive to maintain.

A good place to start is to identify what you'll use your ATV for; recreation, work, or a little of both. Next, determine what size machine you want. Consider not only your physical stature, but also if you plan to haul it in the bed of your pickup truck or on a trailer.

Some of the most reliable ATVs of all time include the Honda FourTrax, the Yamaha Grizzly, the Kawasaki Brute Force, and the Polaris Sportsman. Each of these models has a strong reputation for being able to handle tough terrain, and many owners swear by them for their reliability and longevity.

ATVs can easily flip over when you're driving too fast or taking a turn too quickly. There tend to be a lot of vibrations that can make it hard to stay in control of the vehicle. The helmet will protect your head if anything should happen on the trail.

Depending on the brand and how it's treated, the average lifespan of a quad is 10,000 to 12,000 miles. If a quad is well maintained, it could last for over 20 years. Most vehicles start posing problems once they have covered 10,000 miles, but with a little attention and care, the life of an ATV can be a long one.

Never ride on paved surfaces or public roads (except to cross them). Never exceed the number of passengers recommended by the manufacturer. Teens should never give a passenger a ride even if they have a two-person ATV.

While a new ATV will lose some value over time, it will experience a relatively slow depreciation rate. This is because ATVs are made from high-quality components that are meant to last for many years or even decades with the right care and maintenance. Most new ATVs also come with a warranty.

Safety. If you have safety at the top of mind, then a SxS/UTV is what you want. Compared to an ATV's open design, side-by-side vehicles are more closed with a barrier. SxS/UTV are also commonly known to have features like a roll cage, seat belts and windscreen that protect riders and passengers from the elements.

Are ATVs expensive to maintain? ›

Maintenance on an ATV can cost between $40 and $100 (or more) per maintenance trip. These maintenance and repair costs will depend on a variety of factors, such as the terrain that you ride your ATV on, the type of ATV, the age of the ATV, and how hard you ride the ATV.

You'll find utility ATVs with engines ranging from 450 cc to 1100 cc, but for most people, somewhere around 550 or 600 cc will be more than sufficient to accomplish the vast majority of jobs they have around their property. Sport: Sport ATVs are primarily used for riding around trails or dirt tracks.

Never carry a passenger on a single-rider ATV. Carry no more than one passenger on an ATV specifically designed for two people. Ride an ATV that's right for your size. Actively supervise younger riders.
