What are the Key Factors to Consider When Purchasing an ATV?

Nov. 20 2024 Buying Guide By Jay's Power Center

When you're in the market for an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), several key factors should be on your radar to ensure a sound investment.

Understand Your Purpose

Firstly, understanding the primary use of your ATV will significantly influence your decision. ATVs are designed for a variety of activities - from outdoor recreation to heavy-duty work tasks. The purpose will dictate not only the engine size but also features and accessories.

Size Matters

Size is another consideration, with models ranging from smaller, lighter youth-oriented ATVs perfect for beginners to full-sized models designed for more experienced riders. 

Reliability and Support 

Reliability should rank high on your list. Consider brands with solid reputations in durability and performance – these machines need to withstand quite some wear and tear.

Consider the Terrain

Remember, these vehicles earned their name because they're made for 'all terrains.' Think about where you're likely to ride – this will impact your ATV's required suspension and power level.

Safety Always Comes First

Finally, safety should never be compromised. Look for ATVs that have adequate safety features like reliable braking systems, sturdy build quality, and enhanced controls that match the rider's skill level.
