Choosing the Perfect ATV

All-terrain vehicles, also known as ATVs, four-wheelers, or quads, are both practical and fun powersports vehicles. Many different types of people ride ATVs, whether for work or play. If you’re interested in buying an ATV of your own, here are a few questions you can ask yourself to help narrow down your options and find the right model.

What Do You Want to Do With Your ATV?

ATVs are good for a variety of purposes, but it can be helpful to determine exactly how you intend to use your quad before you buy one. Some models are more sporty and agile, making them ideal for twisting off-road paths. Other models are sturdier and slower, but this makes them more capable of hauling trailers around.

How Experienced Are You?

Another important consideration is your own skill level when it comes to riding powersports vehicles. Beginners should look for smaller ATVs that have less powerful engines and easy-to-use controls. High-powered, fast ATVs are best left to more experienced riders.

What’s Your Budget?

Finally, it’s helpful to consider how much money you can afford to spend on your ATV. More basic models can be a good first-time buy, as they’re affordable and easy to master, but you may require the bells and whistles of a bigger and more feature-laden model if you’re an experienced rider. Buying a used model can help you to save money, too. Don’t forget to factor in service, insurance, storage, and riding gear when making your budget.
