Whether you’re a seasoned rider upgrading your current fleet or just starting out, we’re here to simplify the process and guide you towards finding your dream ATV.
From identifying your needs and understanding the features that matter to staying within budget and learning from other riders, we’ve compiled all the essential information in one place, so you can make an informed decision. Curious to learn more? Read on—and don’t forget to check out more of our guides and articles for even more tips and tricks!
Start with Your Purpose
The first step to finding the perfect ATV is defining how you plan to use it. Are you gearing up for recreational trail riding, racing, or exploring scenic backwoods or local mud pits with friends? Maybe you need a workhorse for hauling, hunting trips, or tackling tough jobs on a farm or construction site. Whatever your plans, knowing your primary purpose will help you zero in on a machine that meets your unique needs.
Generally, ATVs fall into two main categories, and we’ve broken them down to help you get started:
- Utility ATVs: These quad bikes are built for durability and power. With features like front and rear cargo racks, multi-rider seating, and exceptional towing and hauling capabilities, they’re ideal companions for demanding work environments or long hours outdoors.
- Sport ATVs: If adrenaline and performance are your goals, look no further. Sleek designs, superior suspension, and lightweight builds make sport ATVs perfect for racing, jumps, and sharp turns on rugged trails.
Not sure which options are the best fit your lifestyle? No problem! We’ve got everything you need to know in our latest buying guides.
What Features Should You Look For?
When shopping for an ATV, you will want to focus on the features that matter most to the way you ride. Key factors to consider include engine size, suspension type, storage, and towing capacity. If you’re a beginner, you’ll want a smaller engine for easier handling and control. Experienced riders looking to tackle heavy-duty terrain should opt for more powerful and robust models.
Don’t forget about the extras—storage compartments, comfortable seating, and tire designs can make a huge difference, especially when navigating specific terrain like mud or sand. Check out our selection of OEM & aftermarket parts and accessories to customize and upgrade your ATV for a more enjoyable day on the trails.
Budget and Maintenance
Your budget is undoubtedly one of the largest factors in your decision. While it might be tempting to seek out the cheapest option, investing in quality upfront will always pay off in the long run. High-quality brands and durable materials mean fewer repairs and maintenance costs and headaches later on, so be sure to keep the bigger picture in mind.
Beyond the initial purchase price, remember to budget for regular upkeep and maintenance, including oil changes, tire replacements, and inspections. At Munro Powersports, we’ll help you find top-quality ATVs, parts and accessories listed at competitive prices. Explore our selection of new and pre-owned inventory available across our dealer network and discover the best options that fit your needs and your budget!
What’s Your Skill Level?
If you are new to riding ATVs, a smaller, lightweight machine is ideal for helping you build confidence and hone your skills. Experienced riders, on the other hand, may enjoy the thrill of larger, more powerful models capable of handling tougher terrain and advanced features.
