Begin Here: Pick Accessories that improve Performance, Comfort & Style
Pick upgrades that match your terrain and riding style so each upgrade makes a difference. A simple plan saves money and leads to safer, more enjoyable rides.
Align upgrades with terrain and usage
Start by deciding where you ride most: hard-pack, rock gardens, woods, sand, or work chores. Select tires for that terrain to boost traction and limit wear.
Choose adjustable suspension to raise clearance and improve comfort. Install LEDs for better night vision, skid protection to shield the undercarriage, and stronger brakes for heat management.

- Lean on American Off-Roads for fitment help so parts work together and avoid costly mismatches.
UTV Upgrades & Accessories
Plan a targeted parts list built around what truly affects ride quality: armor, power & handling, comfort, cargo, and lighting. We curate category-leading parts so you can build a balanced package that fits together.
Begin protection with windshields, skids, and cage reinforcements to protect cab & belly from debris and impacts. Choose parts that keep sightlines clear while adding strength.
Performance focuses on tires matched to terrain and adjustable suspension for tighter handling and better control. Add brake upgrades and driveline components for consistent stopping and responsiveness.
Comfort and storage matter on long days. Pick seats and airflow solutions for a quieter, cooler cab. Use lockable, weatherproof cargo boxes and racks to keep gear safe and organized.
- Lighting: efficient LED bars/pods for night rides and group runs.
- Navigation & comms: rugged GPS units and weatherproof audio for route tracking and connection.
- Performance exhaust: consider freer-flow systems while staying within local noise limits.
Upgrade in stages so each addition complements the last and delivers steady, measurable improvements.
Protection First: Windshields, Skid Plates, and Roll Cage Reinforcements
Protection begins with choices that keep your cab clear and vital systems safe from impact and dust. Choose model-specific parts so you do not trade visibility for defense. AOR stocks windshields, skid systems, and cage braces that match each machine.
Front windshields: visibility & protection
Select a front glass built for your model to maintain a clear view while blocking wind/dust/weather during fast runs or bad weather.
For Can-Am riders, the Maverick R/X3 options deliver durable construction and a tight fit that prevents gaps and rattles.
Rear windshields to reduce dust and turbulence
Install rear glass on machines such as Polaris Turbo R to reduce negative pressure that pulls dust into the cab. The right rear glass reduces cabin swirl and improves comfort for passengers.
Skids to protect the undercarriage
Choose skid plates made from high-strength materials such as aluminum or reinforced steel to protect the engine, transmission, and driveline when trails get rocky and stump-filled.
Look for service cutouts and drain holes so maintenance stays simple after wet or muddy rides.
Roll cage reinforcement for added safety and structural support
- Add cage braces to boost passenger protection and structural stiffness when you ride hard or haul cargo.
- Use corrosion-resistant mounting hardware and torque to spec so bolts stay secure through heavy use.
- Work with American Off-Roads to verify fitment and choose parts that integrate cleanly with roofs/mirrors/harnesses for holistic protection.
Performance and Handling Upgrades to Tackle Any Terrain
Balanced performance planning starts with the parts that change how the vehicle grips, turns, and stops. Pick upgrades that match your usual terrain so each part delivers real benefits in control/feel, stability, and ride comfort.
Performance tires to gain grip
Begin with terrain-specific tires to gain immediate grip on rocks, mud, sand, and trails. Appropriate tread cuts vibration and lowers wear on chassis components.
Adjustable shocks and kits for ride quality
Adjustable shocks and complete suspension kits raise clearance and let you tune compression and rebound. That tuning improves stability and performance comfort over rough ground.
Enhanced braking systems
Upgrade pads, vented rotors, and braided stainless lines for a firmer pedal and better heat dissipation on extended downhills. Strong brakes preserve control when it counts.
Steering upgrades for durability & feel
Fit heavy-duty tie rods and a quality steering wheel to sharpen handling and feedback. Recheck torque after hard rides to protect components and maintain confidence at speed.
Performance exhaust for improved flow
A free-flowing exhaust can boost throttle response. Verify local noise rules before you change systems so you remain compliant and courteous on public land.
| Upgrade | Primary Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Performance tires | More grip, less vibration | Trail, sand, mud, rocks |
| Adjustable suspension kits | Ground clearance, comfort | Mixed terrain, heavy loads |
| Pads + braided lines | Stopping power, heat control | Downhills or towing |
| Steering upgrades | Durability, precise handling | Fast or technical riding |
AOR can help assemble a balanced setup—tires/shocks/brakes/steering—that aligns with your terrain and goals.
Cab Comfort and Air Management
Small cabin changes can greatly reduce fatigue and less draining. Focus on airflow, seating, and simple roof/enclosure to manage heat and dust. These moves increase comfort at speed and cut fatigue on long rides.
Fusion Fiber Aero Latch: quick airflow
The Fusion Fiber Aero Latch installs in seconds with zero tools and locks in firmly. It cuts dust, increases airflow, and remains tight so you do not get rattles while riding.
Supportive seating for long rides
Choose seats with firm bolsters, quality padding, and weather-resistant fabrics to stay planted over rough ground. Better seating improves focus and reduces end-of-day soreness.
Roofs/enclosures for balanced protection
Install a roof or partial enclosure to manage sun/wind/weather. Pair with vents and front glass for a calmer cabin that reduces noise and raises comfort.
- Fast, tool-free latch installs improve airflow and vent heat/dust from the cab.
- Ergonomic seats maximize support and use durable materials for all-weather use.
- A well-chosen roof balances ventilation with protection from the elements.
AOR can pair the right seats, roof, and latch so each piece integrates cleanly and improves the feel mile after mile.
Front & Rear Storage Solutions
A good cargo system protects gear and maintains handling on rough sections.
The Polaris RZR XP 1000 storage box delivers a lockable, weather-sealed solution for 2014 to 2023 models. It keeps tools and recovery gear dry and secure so you can stop worrying about soggy or missing items.
Mix modular racks, mounts, and boxes to scale storage to match your use. Use reinforced latches and anti-rattle hardware so cargo stays quiet in the front/rear. Quick-release mounts make swaps fast when you change missions.
Weather-sealed, lock-ready storage for RZR XP 1000
