About UTV | ATV

A UTV, or side-by-side, is a four-wheeled machine with a steering wheel, bench or bucket seats and a roll cage, built for work, trail and sport use. An ATV, or quad, is the straddle-seat version with handlebars. Owners shop this section for wear parts that keep either one running, for repairs after a trail mishap, and for the upgrades that suit how they ride, haul or hunt.

The sub-categories split the machine into its working systems. Routine wear and repairs live in Air Intake & Fuel Delivery, Engines & Engine Parts, Transmission & Drivetrain, Brakes & Brake Parts and Electrical & Ignition Components. How the machine rides and handles is covered by Steering & Suspension and Wheels, Tires & Parts. Protection and bodywork are in Guards & Protection and Body & Frame, and the add-ons are in Lighting & Lamps, Storage & Racks, Towing, Recovery & Accessories and Accessories. Fit depends on make, model and year, and sometimes on trim, so pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page.

Brands in this section include Athena, Bolt, Braking, EPI and EBC. If you are new to ordering parts for powersports machines, the powersports parts buying guide explains what to check first.

FAQs on UTV and ATV parts

What is the difference between a UTV and an ATV?

An ATV, or quad, has a straddle seat and handlebars and is ridden like a motorcycle, usually by one rider. A UTV, or side-by-side, has a steering wheel, seats beside each other, a roll cage and seat belts. Parts differ between the two, so choose ones listed for your machine type.

How do I find parts that fit my UTV or ATV?

Use the make, model and year, and for some machines the trim or engine size. The Ride Finder at the top of the page narrows the listings to your machine. If you are unsure, check your owner's manual or the machine's identification plate, because a model name alone can cover several versions.

Which UTV and ATV parts wear out first?

Common wear items include air filters, spark plugs, brake pads or shoes, drive belts on machines that have them, tires, CV boots and axles, and fluids. Your owner's manual lists the inspection and service points for your machine, so use it to plan maintenance.

What are common first upgrades for a UTV or ATV?

It depends on how you use the machine. Many owners start with protection such as skid plates and bumpers, then lights, a winch or storage racks. Match each upgrade to your machine, and check that heavier parts and added electrical loads suit its design.

Do I need special tools to work on a UTV or ATV?

Most routine jobs need standard hand tools, but some, such as clutch or suspension work, may call for model-specific tools. Read the service manual for the job first, and use proper jack stands and safety gear when working under or around the machine.
