Conquer nature and experience the thrill of your life when you ride an ATV! But knowing you want to join this adventurous lifestyle is one thing and knowing which model to buy is another.

How Will You Use It?
The first consideration you should make is figuring out the purpose of your ATV. Will you be using your four wheeler more for work or for play? ATVs come in these broad categories with models tailored to meet the different needs.
Some riders harness the raw power of their vehicles to tackle a range of tasks on their property. Cruise over difficult terrain with much less time and effort than it would take to walk. Haul away logs, rocks, and other obstacles. Transport materials and tools to your work site. Utility ATVs are going to be focused on delivering more power, towing capabilities, and other features necessary to cross those projects off of your to-do list.
Other riders use their four wheeler to seek out adrenaline rushes in their free time. Conquer the open trails, spend time in nature, and satiate your need for speed. Recreational ATVs are going to focus more on handling, agility, and speed to deliver the excitement you want from leisure riding.
What's Your Budget?
Once you know which type of ATV you want, your next step is to figure out what your price range is. There's no point in considering vehicles you can't afford anyway. Remember that you can look into used models or financing plans to open up your options on the brands and models. While you build your budget, remember to take into account the cost of buying any gear.
What's Your Riding Level?
After you create a budget, you can start looking at models. One key aspect to keep in mind is your riding ability. Beginner riders should focus on lower power engines. We recommend models in the 250-300ccs range. You don't want something that will be too much to handle! You can also seek out features that make it easier to ride like keyed ignitions and throttle limiters. Advanced riders can focus more on power and performance that meets their riding level.
