Depending on the use you’re going it give it, there are different types of ATVs you can choose from. Read this post by Olson Marketing in Omaha to learn more about them and choose the right one for you. 

What is an ATV?

As its name implies, ATVs or all-terrain vehicles are designed to handle different types of terrains like trails, open fields, and muddy, gravelly, and snowy roads. This makes them great for offroad adventures and utility work. ATVs are usually equipped with a straddle seat, handlebars, and low-pressure tires that allow them to ride smoothly over rugged terrain. There are three aspects to choosing the right ATV for you. The first one is the use you’re going to give it, but it’s also essential to take into consideration your riding skill and lifestyle as well as the number of riders that will ride in it. Lastly, keep in mind that ATVs aren’t considered street-legal vehicles in the USA. Keep reading to learn more about the types of ATVs you can find on the market.

Whatever type of ATV you choose, thinking about your maintenance routine is essential to keeping it in excellent condition. For product recommendations, call Olson Marketing at (402) 310-6414, and one of their oil pros will guide you to choose the best products for your ATV. Once you’re ready, visit AMSOIL's online store to place your order.

Youth ATVs - To Learn the Basics

If you’re planning to get an ATV for a young family member, it’s good to remember that youth ATVs are designed for teens from 12 to 15 years to learn to ride safely. These ATVs are manufactured with less power and absorbers to help the rider better control the vehicle. Additionally, these ATVs have improved traction and automatic transmission. This makes the ATV safer and perfect for younger riders to learn the ins and outs of riding an ATV.

Utility ATVs - A Workhorse for Hauling and Towing

If you’re looking for an ATV that will help you haul and tow equipment and materials, a utility ATV might be best for you. Utility ATVs can not only handle rough terrain but can also ride over obstacles because they have higher ground clearance than youth or sports ATVs. While these ATVs aren’t great at racing and reaching high speeds because of their weight, they are excellent at handling large workloads. Utility ATVs are also much more comfortable than other types of ATVs as they have power steering and ample seats. This reduces strain on the rider and makes them much more comfortable for long workdays.

The oil pros at Olson Marketing can help you create a maintenance routine that will have your ATV running for longer with excellent products like AMSOIL’s 5W-50 Synthetic ATV/UTV Engine Oil. Give them a call today at (402) 310-6414 and learn which products are best suited for your ATV’s engine. Once you’re ready, don’t forget to place your order online.

Sports ATVs - For Speed Around the Track

If you need an ATV that will pick up high speeds and take you quickly around the racetrack, you need a Sports ATV. These ATVs have less horsepower and features than utility ATVs, making them much more lightweight. Sports ATVs are also smaller than utility ATVs and only have two-wheel drives, making them easier to handle. Because of the lack of features and horsepower, they’re also cheaper. Lastly, these ATVs can be customized with many comforts, usability, and performance features to suit the rider’s needs.

Side by Side ATVs - For Two Riders

The last type of ATV we’ll cover in this post is side-by-side ATVs which are sometimes called offroad vehicles and buggies. These types of ATVs are designed for two riders at the same time. They’re used for utility, sports, or both. They’re usually equipped with a cargo box and a roof rack, and some models have enough power to pull a small trailer. They can also have cab enclosures in case you’re riding on rough terrain. A significant advantage of side-by-side ATVs is that some can be street-legal vehicles, but they need to have safety features added, like DOT-approved tires, turn signals, windshield wipers, and safety belts. That said, check with your state’s transportation department before taking it on the road.

We hope this post makes it easier to choose from the different types of ATVs.
