Electronics

You might think electronics are a big part of the ATV and UTV industry, but they can come in awfully handy on the trail. From GPS devices to heated grips, you'll learn about it here.

Best UTV Sound Bars

For many of us, driving along, even in the UTV, requires some music to make it feel just right. You can easily increase the enjoyment factor of your UTV by adding a stereo system to the machine, but where do you mount the speakers? UTV sound bars are an easy solution to adding the right amount of speakers to your machine. Most top rated sound bars mount on the roll cage and in an easy to mount location up and away from the mechanical parts of the machine. Which one is best for you and your machine? Here are five of the best UTV sound bar options available today and what you need to know about them to see if one is the right fit for you.

Garmin Tread Off-Road GPS System Review

My wife and I were cruising down a new-to-us trail with her parents in tow driving their Polaris Ranger. We kept going for a while and it soon became apparent that none of us were sure where we were and cell reception was non-existent. My mother-in-law asked if we were lost, and I quipped, “Can’t be. I have been lost before, and this looks nothing like that place.” My bad joke went over about as well as you’d expect. There were two things that were readily apparent that we needed on that ride – GPS and communication between the machines. What we really needed was the new Garmin Tread that combines accurate GPS and trail maps, along with machine-to-machine communication and tracking. I’ve been using the system now for a while and find it to be more useful than I ever thought it would be.

So You Just Bought an ATV…Here's the Gear and Accessories You Need

But in practice, there are a number of things we think every off-roader should have before ever going out for a rip – and an even longer list of things that would be very helpful (or at least nice) to have.

Cardo PackTalk Bold Review

I’ve been lucky enough over the years to get to use a few onboard communication systems while driving and riding in a UTV. The ones I used were mostly the type where there is a central unit and you plug into it with a cord running from your helmet. These were nice units, but were basically limited to communications between the passengers and between machines. Using one on an ATV would be difficult with standing and sitting. I think the cable might be an issue. Recently I got my hands on the Cardo PackTalk Bold, and it has completely changed the way I view communications while out on the trail.

Best ATV Radios

The first time I ever experienced an ATV radio or stereo system was interesting. The sound quality was ok, although it was quickly drowned out by the engine. But the durability was pretty good and the idea was much better than my previous attempts at music while I rode. Years ago, I would run headphones up the back of my jersey and wear them inside my helmet. It worked ok, except I couldn’t hear anything else. Today’s ATV radios are so much better than anything from even a year or two ago. Sound quality has gone way up, and the actual stereo units are smaller and more durable. Here are five of the best ATV radios and stereo systems available today for your ATV or UTV. Combine all these features with the quality and reputation of Kicker audio products, this truly one of the best units you can buy.

Anti-theft and Recovery Unit
California firm offers low-priced GPS device for tracking ATVs and motorcycles

A San Diego, Calif. company has come up with an affordable theft-recovery device for motorcycles and ATV machines.

BikeGPSTracking says its new unit offers all the features of a more expensive product at a much lower cost.

“The launch of our MC242 GPS Motorcycle Tracking Unit gives motorcycle and ATV owners the peace of mind in knowing their property is protected at a very affordable price,” says BikeGPSTracking president and CEO Mark Wells. “With the average price of GPS motorcycle tracking units being well over $500, we are able to leverage our technology leadership and bring the hardware cost down to $349.”

Beginning next month, BikeGPSTracking will also offer a tether switch or panic button and a vibration sensor as optional accessories. Should a rider be thrown off a vehicle, the tether switch will send an emergency alert via text message or an email to specified recipients. Pressing the panic button will generate a similar alert. If a motorcycle is moved more than 100 yards while the ignition is off, the vibration sensor will send out an alert. This will make theft recovery much faster, the company claims.

With the standard features of the MC242, owners will receive unlimited GPS tracking throughout Canada and the United States. Owners will also have the ability to set Geofence and speed alerts and will be notified when the ignition is turned on or off.

Monthly service plans range from $5.95 per month or $57 per year for tracking every 30 minutes, to $9.95 per month or $95 per year for tracking every ten minutes.
