Everybody knows that springs are made of metal, right? That may be true now, but Elka Suspension is experimenting with springs made out of composite materials instead of good old-fashioned steel. In fact, Elka just put them to the test in some of the most extreme conditions possible at King of the Hammers.

Just because the sun goes down doesn’t mean the ride has to be over. QuadBoss offers a line of LED lighting options that can extend your ride well into the night.

“The low power draw of LEDs allows you to have the greatest amount of light at minimal tax to your electrical system,” QuadBoss says in a release. “Durable, waterproof aluminum housings are built to stand up to the brush and weather. In the event of hard impact, the undamaged LEDs will keep on working. With 10 different lighting styles, we have one that is perfect for your ATV/UTV.”

Ride off-road long enough and you are bound to damage your CV boot, which can lead to serious axle damage if you don’t take care of it quickly.

Rather than let the dirt or sand destroy your CV joint, the QuadBoss Rapid Repair CV Boot Kit’s cone shaped tool lets you slip a new boot onto your axle and seal it back up without having to pull your axle off. The faster you replace the boot, the less damage is done to the joint.

QuadBoss has released its new lineup tires and wheels. Whether you are looking for sporty performance out of an ATV or want to get your UTV to the end of the mud bog, QuadBoss has a little something for just about every rider.

The QBT447 tire is designed for loose to intermediate terrain. The ¾-inch deep wraparound lugs are designed to provide responsive cornering while protecting the sidewall. As well, QuadBoss says the unique directional tread pattern delivers a smooth ride on hard pack surfaces, and sheds mud when things get messy. These tires are built with six-ply durability and load rated for all ATVs and UTVs.

STI Tire & Wheel has introduced a new and improved Roctane XS tire that features a lighter carcass and a rounded contour designed to enhance high-speed handling.

Christmas shopping just got easier for Yamaha riders and their families. For the first time, Yamaha is giving consumers the ability to purchase its apparel and accessories at a single online destination.

Yamaha Parts and Accessories, a division of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., has launched a new e-commerce website – ShopYamaha.com.

Pro Armor, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has issued a recall notice for its doors that fit 2010-2014 Polaris RZR 800 and 900 models.

According to the recall notice, the latch pin can disengage from the latch and allow the door to open while the vehicle is moving, posing a risk of ejection of an unrestrained rider and impact or laceration hazards.

PRP Seats has announced the addition of five-time King of the Hammers (KOH) UTV champion Mitch Guthrie Sr. to its race team.

“We’re really happy to have Mitch driving in PRP’s now.” said PRP Seats’ Marketing Director, Jason DeArmond. “We’ve designed our seats to be for all day riding and King of the Hammers is a perfect venue. Mitch has been unbeatable the last five years and we’re confident the comfort and safety of our seats and harnesses will keep him there.”

The Outback is STI’s all-around ATV and UTV tire and the new wider profile is designed to increase flotation and traction in loose conditions while retaining a smooth ride on hard-pack surfaces. As well, the new Outback models feature unique lugs that are stepped on the outside and dimpled in the middle. According to STI, this design provides aggressive grip and efficient clean-out capability, while maintaining ride comfort.

TrakMotive has been the largest producer of automotive aftermarket CV axles for years, but only recently jumped into the ATV and UTV market. We had a chance to chat with TrakMotive at AIMExpo in Orlando, Fla. about its off-road products.

TrakMotive (also known as SurTrack) told us its ATV and UTV CV axles are engineered to hold up to the most rigorous conditions.

For some riders, the sound of the ATV or UTV engine is not quite enough. The folks at BOSS Audio Systems may have what they’re looking for.

When we stopped by the BOSS booth at AIMExpo in Orlando, Fla., a Kawasaki Brute Force decked out with front and rear marine-grade speakers that certainly caught our attention. These speakers were attached to the front and rear racks, but BOSS Audio Systems also makes speakers that can attach to UTV roll over protection structures.

OTR Wheel Engineering talked to us about the new OTR Tomahawk mud tire when we stopped by its booth at AIMExpo in Orlando, Fla.

The OTR Tomahawk has a fairly striking design, thanks to its unique looking tread and tire texture. We were told this tire was designed for exceptional mud traction and a set of four adorned an Arctic Cat MudPro ATV to drive the point home. The tire offers six-ply construction and OTR Wheel Engineering says that it is a smooth trail rider as well, despite its mud-focussed intentions.

One of the great things about walking the floor at a show like AIMExpo in Orlando, Fla. is checking out innovative products that could help a lot of people. The Shark Kage multi-use ramp falls into that category.

When we first walked by the Shark Kage booth, we didn’t think much of it. It just looked like an ordinary ramp for a pickup truck. However, what we saw next stopped us in our tracks. The ramp was quickly folded up into a bed extender…then a work table. After talking to one of the Shark Kage representatives, we were told it could also turn into a tool box and cargo cover for your truck, as well as a sun shade.

CST had a wide selection of new ATV and UTV tires on display at 2014 AIMExpo in Orlando, Fla., including the Wild Thang, Stag and Lobo.

Curtis Industries has announced the release of its new heavy-duty utility vehicle plow. The plow ships fully assembled to dealers to reduce installation time and cost.

This plow is powder coated for corrosion resistance and painted in a polished silver-gray finish. It features a 72″ wide x 19″ high adjustable full-trip moldboard with 6″ double-sided cutting edge. It’s designed with a 48″ trip frame and heavy-duty springs to protect the plow and vehicle from ground obstructions.

Anybody who’s ridden Side-by-Sides long enough, hard enough and over rough enough terrain has longed for a more comfortable place for their posterior. Pro Armor may have the answer with its new suspension seats.

“These suspension seats are designed to give a driver and passenger the most comfort and performance possible,” Pro Armor says in a release. “Using only the highest quality materials and with decades of experience in our sewing and seat department we are sure that once you take a ride in one you will agree it is the best seat in the house.”

HMF is now offering its Swamp slip-on exhaust for the Yamaha Viking, offering a bit more performance from Yamaha’s Utility Side-by-Side.

Discuss this at our Yamaha Viking Forum.

In addition to any performance boost, HMF says the Swamp slip-on ($399.95) sheds two to three pounds compared to the stock system. Sound levels are claimed to be just one or to decibels higher than the stock unit with a deeper tone. However, for those looking for a bit more bark (and power), HMF’s Swamp XL (Extra Loud) is also available for $369.95.
