When it comes to shopping for your UTV, it can be hard to decide what parts to upgrade or add on. You want a machine that actually performs in the real world. Specifically, in your real world. You need parts that can handle whatever terrain you typically ride on. So, what exactly should you shop for to turn your basic side-by-side into a real powerhouse?
We’re going over three authorized SuperATV dealer builds to help you get some inspiration for enhancements. These three UTVs from Love Motorsports, LDR Off-Road, and Adams Offroad are perfect examples of how the right upgrades completely change what your UTV can handle.
Let’s get into it.
Love Motorsports’ Defender HD10 XMR is set up for versatile riding. One minute it’s dusty, the next you’re pushing through mud or getting blasted by wind, bugs, and trail debris. The goal here is pretty simple. Stay protected, stay comfortable, and always have clear visibility.
When you have a full windshield, it can leave you sealed up and baking. That being said, when you don’t have a windshield, you have to deal with eating dirt and bugs. That’s where SuperATV’s Vented Windshield comes in. You can close up the vent when things get nasty or crack it open when you need some airflow. We also top our windshields off with our proprietary XR Optic scratch-resistant coating, so they actually stay clear instead of getting foggy and beat up after a few rides.
SuperATV’s Aluminum Half Doors give you the same thing. You get more protection without boxing you in. They keep mud and debris out of the cab, but you’re not shut in completely. It’s just a good middle ground. They’re ultra-strong, lightweight, and look stylish. Plus, their ergonomic height makes for a more comfortable ride.
LDR OffRoad likes to push they Polaris Ranger XP 1000 to the limit. They started this build with one thing in mind—water. If your rides involve swampy trails, deep mud holes, or water crossings that make most riders turn around, a snorkel kit is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
Stock intakes are fine and all—until they’re not. One deep mud crossing or a surprise dip in some water and suddenly you’re done for the day. SuperATV’s Snorkel Kit moves your engine and CVT breathing points up high where water and mud can’t get to them. That means you’re not backing away from spots you want to take. You can take them on with complete confidence. Plus, it helps keep airflow cleaner when the trail gets dusty.
Adam’s Offroad started this build with one goal. Turning their basic Can-Am Maverick Sport into a true powerhouse machine. They wanted it to clear bigger obstacles, ride harder, and be able to take on rocks and ruts that usually stop other machines in their tracks.
Let’s start with the true game changer in this setup—SuperATV’s GDP Portal Gear Lift. Portals are truly the ultimate upgrade for any machine. You get a lift and a gear reduction in one awesome package. This gives you more clearance, more stability, more room for larger tires, and just more confidence.
SuperATV’s Atlas Pro High-Clearance A-Arms are also a solid upgrade. They’re typically stronger than stock with a beefy design. Plus, their bent design gives you extra ground clearance, so instead of constantly getting hung up on rocks, roots, and trail debris, your machine can glide right over them and keep moving.
And finally, once you start adding portals and bigger tires, your suspension starts to take a serious beating. That’s where upgraded ball joints come in. Specifically, Keller Ball Joints. They have a two-piece design that eliminates the need for a snap ring and they thread directly into your A-arms like a nut and bolt. They’re built with a tough chromoly steel stud and an advanced tool-steel body, so they’re perfect for hard riding. Plus, they’re greaseable and rebuildable, so you can keep them running smoothly for the long haul.
No matter how or where you ride, the right upgrades can completely change what your UTV is capable of. Whether you’re building for deep mud, tough trails, or just a more comfortable ride, these dealer builds show you what’s possible when you match the right parts to your terrain.
You don’t have to stop at the dealer builds. SuperATV offers a large variety of parts and accessories to take your machine to the next level.
