About Seats
A seat is where you spend every minute of a ride, so its shape, padding and height shape how long you can stay out. Owners shop here when a stock seat has cracked or worn through, when it no longer supports them on long days, or to fit a different style, such as a performance bucket seat on a side-by-side.
Start with what the seat is for. The samples include performance and extreme seats listed for Can-Am Maverick X3 Max models, front seats in the Torque V2 line, a UTV seat heater and a cover for a two-seater UTV. A few listings are solo seats for cruiser motorcycles, so read the machine named in the title. Fit is specific, because mounts and bases differ by model and years. Some seats need a mounting kit, and the samples include one for a Torque V2 single seat. Confirm the fit line in each listing before you order.
Brands in this category include Drag Specialties, Saddlemen, Moose Offroad, Beard Seats and BS Sand. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page to see seats listed for it. If the base of your seat is sound, Seat Covers and Additional Seat Parts may be all you need. The group is part of Seats, Parts & Accessories.
FAQs on UTV and ATV seats
How do I choose a replacement seat for my side-by-side?
Start with the exact make, model and years, because seat bases and mounts differ between machines. Then decide on the style, such as a stock-style seat or a performance bucket seat, and check whether it needs a separate mounting kit. The listing's fitment line is the final check.
What should I look for in a seat for long days of riding?
Look at padding, the shape of the base and bolsters, and how well the seat holds your hips and back in place. A seat that suits your build and riding position tires you less. If you can, compare the seat's shape with what you now use.
What does a UTV seat heater need to work?
A seat heater needs power from the machine's electrical system and usually a switch. Read the installation instructions for the heater listed for your machine, and confirm that your model is named. Wiring should be fused and routed away from moving parts and heat.
Do I need to change my belts or harness when I change seats?
A different seat can change where the belts or harness reach and attach, so follow both the seat maker's and the belt maker's instructions. Do not use a harness with a seat or mount it in a way the instructions do not allow.
Is a seat cover enough if my seat is only worn on the surface?
Often yes. If the base and foam are sound and only the vinyl is faded or torn, a cover is the simpler fix. If the base is cracked or the foam has collapsed, a replacement seat or new foam is the better route.
