Here are a few handy tips about ATV tires, wheels and brakes that will improve your ride.
Tires are the quickest thing you can change on your ATV to have an immediate effect on how it handles. First decide what you really want to do with your ATV. Are you just looking for a nice ride through woodland ATV trails, or are you looking for a more extreme riding experience with lots of terrain challenges and bumps? Once you decide, you'll be able to find out which type of tires are best suited to your ATV expectations.
Strong wheel rims are essential when you do a lot of rough terrain ATV riding. Billet wheel rims are not only ultra strong, they also make your ATV look like a million bucks. Switching to ATV billet wheel rims can boost your performance far above the standard dealer issued tire and wheel combination most ATVs are sold with.
Now, a word about brake pads. Brake pads are made from different materials, and each type can give you the best brake control according to the terrain it's manufactured for.
Organic brake pads are sufficient if you just like to ride your ATV on established trails and don't plan on driving through sand and mud, which quickly wear these brake pads down.
Semi-metallic brake pads have decent stopping power and also hold up to wear and tear from mud and sand.
Full metallic brake pads will definitely last the longest, but they will slip some when you're riding in the mud and the muck.
Keep these tires, wheels and brake tips in mind while customizing your ATV for the perfect ride.
