What are ATVs?

There’s no point in trying to figure out if you want an ATV if you’re not really sure how to spot one. Sometimes, it’s easy to think that as long as the vehicle can handle off-roading, there’s really no need to worry about the logistics. But once you get into vehicle browsing, you’ll want to know some of these differences.

ATVs are four-wheeled vehicles, so sometimes you might hear people refer to them as quads. These machines are operated similarly to how you’d operate a motorcycle, in that you sit on the seat by straddling it and control direction and speed using handlebars. And, as we mentioned, these machines are built to better handle all kinds of terrain.

Well...sort of. ATVs can best handle some of the more basic off-road terrains like rocky ground or dirt. Even if the path is uneven, they naturally conquer more hard-packed terrain. But that doesn’t mean they can’t tackle other terrains. As we mentioned earlier, there are upgrades you can make to your ATV so riding across the softer material, like sand or gravel, is much easier. This may include changing out your tires or even looking for a lighter frame if you know you’ll be riding across soft terrain fairly regularly.

When to Use Them

As you may have guessed, ATVs are some of the most versatile vehicles on the market. Whether you let it run naturally or choose to upgrade some of your parts, you’ll be able to use your quad for a number of different purposes. Some people need them for more practical applications, like work on a large property. Not only can they cover lots of ground fairly quickly, but they also have impressive towing and hauling capabilities so you can bring tools with you or carry debris away. 

Another popular ATV use is hunting. After all, you already have the right towing and hauling power. You’ll have space and ability to transport lots of gear over a large area. Plus, once you bag even some of the biggest game, you’ll have an easy way to transport it home. You can even get models that have additional features and camo paint jobs to optimize them for hunting. These additional features could include gun racks and more storage so you can even use your ATV for overnight trips. 

Then again, maybe your ATV isn’t going to be for practical use. Maybe it’s about fun and recreation. There are lots of ATV models built specifically for recreational purposes like racing and trail riding. These quads are built with slimmer frames and tighter handling so you can maneuver the trails more easily.
