It happens to the best of us. One minute you’re cruising down the trail, enjoying the ride and having a good time, then POOF! Just like that, you got a flat tire. I can’t tell you how many rides I’ve been on over the years when a flat tire brings the fun to a screeching halt. It doesn’t have to be the end of all things fun, however, as long as you can fix the flat and get back on track again. Let’s run through some scenarios and some simple fixes to flat tires on the trail.

The 2026 Ranger 1000 CAB slots in at $21,999 with deliveries starting this month. It gets an enclosed cabin with a fixed glass windshield and a heating system, both of which are factory-installed. The 1000 CAB also gets a 4,500-pound winch with synthetic rope, plus a full front bumper and LED headlights. Under its hood is a ProStar engine cranking out 61 horsepower, and the rig can carry 1,000 pounds in its cargo box and pull 2,500 pounds. Available colors are Granite Gray, Mirage Beige, Rover Rust, and Polaris Pursuit Camo.

Getting to the trailhead is part of the adventure, but it’s also where things can go wrong if your machine isn’t secured properly. An unsecured ATV or UTV on the trailer is the kind of problem nobody wants halfway down the highway. The fix is simple - quality tie-downs built for the job. Moose Offroad has a full lineup designed to keep your machines and gear exactly where you put them. Whether you're hauling a dirt bike, ATV, or a full-size Side-by-Side, Moose offers tie-down solutions that cover just about every trailer setup and hauling style. Plus, they have the right tie-downs for your gear in the cargo areas, too.

Honda's Team Raceco will be running a race-prepped version of its Talon 1000R side-by-side in the the highest form of UTV racing there is, the AORRC UTV Pro class. An enormous amount of work has gone into preparing the teams and machines for the upcoming season, including the installation of a Jackson Racing supercharger onto the Talon's 1000-class engine. The collaboration between Honda and Raceco-USA makes perfect sense and they are understandably extremely excited for the season to kick off this weekend at the Mint 400.

Although they're not a household powersports name yet, Massimo is working hard to rectify that by continuously building out its lineup of ATVs and UTVs. The newest addition is the Sentinel 770 HVAC UTV, which follows the "successful introduction of the Sentinel 570 HVAC model." What's particularly interesting is the pricing, which undercuts the supposed rivals by a pretty substantial amount.

It's off-road racing season in the USA and next up is the Mint 400. Polaris had a fantastic outing last year with Brock Heger taking the win and they're back at it this year seeking another overall victory in the UTV class. BFGoodrich is continuing its efforts by again teaming up with Polaris and Can-Am to help the manufacturers do their bidding.

Forget the dog days of summer, it's the cold and dreary lulls of winter that make us lust most for time on the trails. But with much of the country covered in snow and temperatures still regularly below the comfortable mark, maybe it's not the best time for many to be out in the great outdoors. So why not pull up a chair and flick on the old video game system? Even if the adrenaline is barely a fraction of that which comes from doing the real thing, driving a UTV or riding an ATV via console or PC can still be a hoot, and maybe it will help you get through the seemingly endless month of March.

Your ATV or Side-by-Side (SxS) represents a significant investment, and one that you will likely want to protect with some form of insurance policy. In fact, many banks will require some form of insurance to cover the machine if you have any form of loan out for buying it. But how do you get your ATV or SxS insured? It’s not as tricky as it may seem, nor is it going to be overly expensive in most cases.

It's hard making vehicles, and harder to do so responsibly. Without the ecosystems in which ATVs, UTVs, personal watercraft, and snowmobiles are enjoyed, the company has no legs. Needless to say, it's in the company's best interest to make strides in its environmental responsibility so as to help preserve the world for its buyers, and for the sake of making the world a better place in the process.

App-ATV integration still feels like sorcery to many of us old-school four-wheelers, and yet the strides being made by brands like Polaris in this regard are nothing short of amazing. Ever working to further the technological game, Polaris has been working for 18 months to rebuild its Ride Command platform for improved functionality and purpose.

Can-Am parent company BRP has launched a new platform that will give riders and drivers access to a wide network of adventure-focused locales and facilities. Named "BRP Experiences," the syndicate brings together adventure providers and those seeking out said escapades.

Once upon a time, many trail systems had 1,000 pound limits for ATVs. Then UTVs hit the scene and took the trails by storm, and suddenly the half-ton weight limit was troublesome. Trails suddenly had 2,000 pound weight limits to accommodate the side-by-sides, and that limit has stood strong for some years now. But with the weight of new machines continually increasing, the one-ton weight limit is in jeopardy, and Maine is now debating increasing the weight limit for ATVs on its trails.

Recalls happen all the time in the automotive and powersports worlds, but it's less often that we see a full-on Stop Sale or Stop Ride/Drive that halts a machine in its tracks. Such is the case with Kawasaki's Teryx H2, with the brand issuing a statement to owners and dealers that they should park the rigs and cease using or selling them until there is a fix available. The nature of the issue is slightly concerning, though.

You need to wear a helmet. Let us rephrase that - You NEED to wear a helmet. When you are riding an ATV or riding/driving in a Side-by-Side (SxS), you need to wear a helmet because you need to stay safe. You might as well get used to this idea, too. You need to find the right helmet for your head, and then you need to use it - both your head and your helmet. We want you to stay safe, and one of the best things you can do for your own personal safety when out on your machine is to wear the appropriate safety gear. Not sure how to choose the right helmet, and/or why you need to wear one? We will explain.

Honda Powersports and 6666 Ranch (pronounced "four sixes ranch") have linked up for a three-year partnership. For those unfamiliar with the latter, it's a 260,000-acre ranch in Texas that oversees thousands of cattle with a special eye towards conservation and good land stewardship. The partnership makes Honda "The Official Powersports Partner of 6666 Ranch."

Deep snow and freezing cold temperatures might not be ideal for ATVing, but that doesn't mean the winter blues should put the kibosh on your four-wheeling-centric fun. Whether you're looking to build out your equipment for riding season, do some wrenching in the cover of your garage, or turn to a video game to fuel your sense of adventure, for many off-roaders, winter is a time to keep busy and think of warmer weather. And for those of us who do actually enjoy playing in the cold and/or snow, we have some pieces of kit on the list that will make it just a bit warmer.

There’s something truly special about the Appalachian Mountains. A sense of history, of ancient lore, echoes through the ridges. It's a feeling that calls to the adventurer in all of us, and there’s no better way to answer that call than from the driver's seat of a capable side-by-side. Recently, we got to do just that, embarking on an unforgettable journey in West Virginia with Destination Yamaha.

It was a fantastic outing at the 2026 King of the Hammers (KOH) race for Polaris and Brock Heger. Fresh off a big win at the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia, Heger piloted his RZR Pro R to the top of the podium in the 7th annual Desert Challenge and the UTV Open class during the Limited Race. This is Heger's third consecutive Desert Challenge victory, and Polaris had others helping the brand behind Heger as well.
