Begin Here: Choosing Accessories to boost Performance, Comfort, and Style
Select components that align with your terrain and frequency so each change makes a difference. A simple plan saves money and produces safer, more enjoyable rides.
Match upgrades to terrain, riding style, and conditions
Start by deciding where you ride most: hard-pack, rock gardens, trails, dunes, or job sites. Pick rubber for that terrain to boost traction and reduce wear.
Choose adjustable suspension to raise clearance and improve comfort. Install LEDs for better night vision, skid plates to shield the undercarriage, and brake upgrades for better heat control.

- Prioritize fixes that solve the biggest gaps first: grip, suspension, armor.
- Consider pace and frequency—weekend fun vs. daily duty—and pick durable parts that fit your use.
- Compare install complexity and budget; choose modular solutions so you can scale over time.
- Use AOR fitment help so parts integrate well and avoid costly mismatches.
UTV Upgrades & Accessories
Plan a targeted parts list built around what truly affects ride quality: armor, performance, ergonomics, cargo, and lighting. American Off-Roads curates category-leading parts so you can build a cohesive package that fits together.
Begin protection with windshields, skid plates, and roll cage reinforcements to shield the cab and undercarriage from rocks and debris. Pick components that keep sightlines clear while adding stiffness.
Performance centers on tires matched to terrain and adjustable suspension for sharper handling and more control. Add upgraded brakes and driveline parts for consistent braking and responsiveness.
Comfort and storage improve long rides. Pick seats and airflow solutions for a cooler, quieter cabin. Use lockable, weatherproof cargo boxes and racks to secure and organize gear.
- Lighting: efficient LED bars/pods for night rides and group runs.
- Navigation & comms: rugged GPS and weatherproof audio systems for routes and comms.
- Exhaust: consider performance systems while respecting local noise rules.
Upgrade in stages so each step complements the last and delivers steady, measurable gains.
Start with Protection: Glass, Skids, Cage
Armor begins with choices that keep your cab clear and vital systems safe from impact and dust. Fit model-specific items so you maintain visibility without sacrificing defense. AOR stocks windscreens, armor, and reinforcements that match each machine.
Front windshields: visibility & protection
Pick a front windshield built for your model to keep crystal-clear sightlines while blocking wind, dust, and the elements during high-speed sections or bad weather.
For Can-Am riders, the Maverick R and Maverick X3 options deliver durable construction and a tight fit that prevents gaps and rattles.
Rear glass for calmer cabins
Add a rear windshield on platforms like the Polaris Turbo R to reduce negative pressure that draws dust into the cabin. The proper rear panel reduces cabin swirl and improves comfort for passengers.
Underbody protection with skid plates
Pick skid systems made from robust materials such as aluminum or reinforced steel to shield engine, transmission, and driveline when trails throw rocks and stumps at you.
Choose skids with service cutouts and drains so maintenance stays simple after muddy/wet runs.
Cage reinforcement for safety & stiffness
- Add cage braces to increase passenger protection and chassis stiffness when you push hard or haul cargo.
- Use corrosion-resistant hardware and torque to specification so bolts remain secure through heavy use.
- Consult AOR to confirm fitment and select parts that integrate cleanly with roofs/mirrors/harnesses for complete protection.
Performance and Handling Upgrades to Tackle Any Terrain
A well-rounded performance plan begins with the parts that affect grip, turn-in, and braking. Pick upgrades that suit your terrain so each part yields real benefits in control, stability, and comfort.
Performance tires to gain grip
Start with terrain-matched tires to gain instant traction on trails, sand, mud, and rocks. Better tread cuts vibration and lowers wear on chassis components.
Adjustable shocks and kits for ride quality
Adjustable shocks and complete suspension kits raise clearance and let you tune comp/rebound. That tuning improves stability and performance comfort over rough ground.
Better brakes
Use upgraded pads, vented rotors, braided lines for a firmer pedal and better heat control on extended downhills. Better brakes preserve control when it counts.
Steering, durability, and response
Install HD tie rods plus a quality wheel to sharpen handling and feedback. Recheck torque after hard rides to protect parts and confidence at speed.
Performance exhaust for better flow
A free-flowing exhaust can boost throttle response. Verify local noise rules before changing systems so you remain compliant and courteous on public land.
| Component | Key Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Performance tires | More grip, less vibration | Trail, sand, mud, rocks |
| Adjustable suspension kits | More clearance & comfort | Mixed terrain, heavy loads |
| Brake pads & braided lines | Stopping power, heat control | Long descents, tow work |
| Steering components | Durability & precision | Fast or technical riding |
American Off-Roads can help assemble a balanced package—tires/shocks/brakes/steering—that aligns with your terrain and goals.
Cab Comfort and Air Management
A few cabin tweaks can make long days far more comfortable and less tiring. Focus on airflow, seating, and simple roof/enclosure to manage heat/dust. These moves increase comfort at speed and cut fatigue on long rides.
Fusion Fiber Aero Latch: quick airflow
The Aero Latch goes in within seconds with no tools and locks in firmly. It reduces dust, boosts airflow, and remains tight so you do not get rattles while riding.
Seats that support all-day rides
Choose seats with supportive bolsters, durable padding, and weather-resistant materials to stay planted on rough terrain. Better seating helps you stay focused and reduces soreness after a long ride.
Roof & enclosure options
Install a roof or partial enclosure to manage sun, wind, and changing elements. Pair with vents and front glass for a calmer cabin that keeps noise down and comfort up.
- Fast, tool-free latch installs improve airflow and clear the cab of heat and dust.
- Ergonomic seats maximize support and use durable materials for all-weather use.
- Pick a roof that balances airflow and weather protection.
AOR can pair the right seats, roof, and latch so each upgrade integrates cleanly and improves the feel mile after mile.
Cargo & Storage Options
A well-designed cargo system protects gear and preserves handling on rough sections.
The Polaris RZR XP 1000 storage box provides a lockable, weather-sealed solution for 2014 to 2023 models. It keeps recovery gear/tools dry & secure so you can stop worrying about soggy or missing items.
Combine modular racks/mounts/boxes to scale storage to match your use. Use reinforced latches and anti-rattle hardware so cargo rides quietly in the front or rear. Quick-release systems make swaps fast when you change missions.
Polaris RZR XP 1000 storage box: weatherproof, lockable security for gear and tools
The box keeps dust/water out and includes lock-ready hardware to deter trail-side tampering. It’s made for the RZR XP 1000 and protects contents on tough runs.
Racks, mounts, and modular boxes to scale capacity to your needs
- Balance the load: keep heavy gear low/centered to protect handling/braking.
- Mix racks and boxes for accessibility—keep often-used tools easy to reach.
- Check with AOR for UTV parts/accessories that integrate with roofs/spare carriers for a clean fit.
Pick cargo solutions that match your riding and enjoy a quieter, more organized trail experience.
When lighting, nav, and audio work together, you see further and ride with more confidence.
Bright LED options for night runs
LEDs are brighter and more efficient than halogens. Add bars or pods to increase night visibility and cut power draw.
Pick beam pattern/output for your terrain and speed. Supplement with pillar or ditch lights for corner and wash coverage.
Rugged GPS for waypoints & trails
Choose a rugged GPS with topographic maps, waypoint marking, and trail recording to save favorite loops. You can share routes with the crew and return confidently.
Audio systems that survive the elements
Weatherproof Bluetooth systems deliver music and rider comms that handle water/mud/vibration. These items keep group comms clear in tough conditions.
- Step up visibility with efficient LEDs that punch through dust/darkness.
- Install a GPS to log trails and share routes with your team.
- Wire cleanly using fused circuits/relays for reliable power under harsh conditions.
AOR provides tested options and support to pair lighting, GPS, and audio into a balanced solution that raises safety and fun to the next level.
