Pick a Type of ATV

The first step in picking the right four-wheeler is to decide which type will fit your needs the best. In general, there are two main types of quads: utility and sport.

Utility ATVs are made for getting tasks done. For example, they are commonly used on farms or landscaping jobs. They have a boxy, bulky build and often come with features like cargo racks and two-up seats. They're mostly used for work projects, but their solid construction also makes them great for trail riding.

Sport ATVs are made for recreational riding. Their sleek style and quality suspension system are great for chasing adrenaline rushes.

Consider the ATV's Size

Once you've decided which type of four-wheeler is right for you, the next step is to consider the size. The right size depends on your priorities.

For example:

  • If you want to explore width-restricted trails, be sure to get a compact quad.
  • If you want a quick and agile model, focus on smaller and lighter ATVs.
  • If you want plenty of storage space or room for a passenger, look for large and spacious models.

Consider Your Experience Level

Your experience level is another important factor to consider when choosing an ATV.

If you're a beginner, you'll want to stick with smaller and less powerful machines. Once you've gotten more experience under your belt, you can start thinking about upgrading to a more powerful model.

If you're an experienced rider, you'll have no problem handling a larger and more powerful machine. Just be sure to ride responsibly and always follow the safety guidelines.

Make Your List of Must-Have Features

Now that you know what type, size, and level of experience are right for you, it's time to make a list of must-have features. This will help you narrow down your options and find the perfect ATV. If a given four-wheeler doesn't contain your desired feature, you can cross it off of your list.

For example, maybe you want to bring a friend or family member on your rides. Look for four-wheelers with spacious seating and the capacity to handle the weight of two people.
