Mirror Assemblies
About Mirror Assemblies
Many side-by-sides leave the factory without mirrors, or with small ones that show little of what is behind you. A complete mirror assembly clamps to the roll cage or bolts to a model-specific mount and lets you see the trail, a trailer or the machine behind you without turning around. Riders also shop here to replace a mirror that a branch snapped off or a roll bent out of shape.
The first choice is the view. Side view mirrors mount on the left and right, while rear view mirrors give a wider look straight back, and some rear view listings add an LED cabin light. The detail that matters most is clamp size. Many listings state the roll cage tube they fit, such as 1.75 inch or 1.875 to 2 inch ROPS, so measure your cage before you order. After that come shape (rectangle, round or teardrop), fixed or folding arms, a power-adjust option, and finish. Some mirrors are made for one model, such as the Polaris Ranger or General, while others clamp to any tube of the right size.
Brands in this category include Parts Unlimited, Axia, Acerbis and Kolpin. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page to see mirrors listed for it. Related groups are Mirror Components and the parent category, Mirrors. If you are unsure how to confirm a fit, the guide on why a part did not fit covers the checks worth making.
FAQs on UTV and ATV mirror assemblies
What clamp size do I need to mount a mirror on my roll cage?
Measure the outside diameter of the roll cage tube where the mirror will sit. Listings state the tube size they fit, for example 1.75 inch or 1.875 to 2 inch ROPS, so choose the one that matches your cage. A clamp sized for a larger tube will not hold tight on a smaller one.
Do I need a mirror made for my exact UTV model?
Not always. A clamp-on mirror fits any compatible tube of the listed size, whatever the model. Other mirrors are built for one machine, such as listings named for a Polaris Ranger or General, and those only fit that model. Read the title and the fitment note in the listing.
What is the difference between side view and rear view UTV mirrors?
Side view mirrors mount on the left and right and show the sides and back corners of the machine. A rear view mirror gives a wide view straight behind, and some include an LED cabin light. Many riders run both so they can see all around the machine.
How do I keep a UTV mirror from shaking loose on the trail?
Mount it on a clean, straight section of the cage tube, tighten the clamp evenly as the maker instructs, and adjust the glass from your normal seat position with your helmet on. Recheck the clamp after the first ride and every so often after that, because trail vibration can loosen hardware.
Are UTV mirrors sold one at a time or as a pair?
It depends on the listing. Some titles say Each and others say Pair, and a rear view mirror is a single unit. A side-by-side with side view mirrors needs one on each side, so check the quantity in the title before you order.
