We just bid farewell to our long-term Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S after nine months of testing. We subjected the manufacturer’s biggest, baddest ATV to the full gauntlet of trail riding common in the Northeast, and it came back begging for more time and time again. Here are some takeaways and things we’ve learned from our time with the top-dog Scrambler.

Skid plates, also known as underbody armor, are protective shields attached to the underside of a vehicle to safeguard its vulnerable components from damage due to rocks, debris, or rough terrain. The necessity of skid plates for an all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) depends on various factors, including the type of terrain, intended use, individual preferences of the rider, riding style, and more. But while the general consensus is “yes,” that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to armor up the entirety of your ATV or UTV's underside.

We’ve all heard the stories of a severe ATV injury being so due to the negligence of safety equipment. Though these instances are undoubtedly unfortunate, they are also easily avoidable. While riding an all-terrain-vehicle may be inherently dangerous, mitigating the riskiest aspect is no more difficult than wearing a helmet. And as ATVing enthusiasts, we stand firmly in the camp of always protecting your head when throwing a leg over the seat. Why? Read on.

Like our moose hunting trip this year, the 2023 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 1000 LE is mostly unchanged since its inception in 2020, with the exception of 2 things. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, one of us missed the mark. And I’ll give you a hint. It wasn’t Yamaha.

The ATVing hobby can lead riders to beautiful, remote places they have never been before, and that few have even seen. But getting there and back isn’t always as easy as opening up Google Maps and punching in an address. Remote locations usually come with limited cell service, so knowing where to go means using some kind of dedicated navigation system. Luckily for us, many types exist, with some manufacturers even integrating them into the vehicles themselves.

Even at 25 years old, the Yamaha Grizzly 700 is still the best-selling Utility ATV and we test it in the Colorado Rockies to see why.

Riding off-road is a great way to spend time with family and friends while you get to see the great outdoors. While you won’t be encountering as many people out on the trails as you would driving through traffic on your daily commute to work, chances are that you’ll still come across other riders/drivers enjoying their time as well. We have some great tips on how to enjoy time on your ATV and SxS while still being safe.

There’s no denying that a lot of the ATV hobby comes down to wants rather than needs. But as it’s easy enough to go down the rabbit hole of desired accessories, so what improves the ATVing experience? One item that often goes overlooked is a windshield, and it can go a long way to making rides in cold, windy, or poor weather that much more enjoyable.

Knowing what you’re getting into before you sign the dotted line can make owning an ATV more enjoyable

It’s a no-brainer for automotive aficionados to wax their vehicle’s paint, but does that degree of care extend to your ATV? Seeing as cleaning up after a ride can easily entail a day’s worth of rinsing, scrubbing, and tidying up. Old four-wheeling folklore tells of spraying fenders with WD-40 or cooking oil spray to keep mud from caking on the machine, but we wanted to try out a less messy, more conventional method to see if we could achieve the same result. Does waxing your ATV’s plastics help? We found out firsthand.

We love when manufacturers use their resources to showcase the capabilities of their vehicles, and it's only natural to use in-industry "celebrities" to do so. In the first installment of "RZR XPERIENCES," Polaris brings out professional stunt driver, racer, and all-around automotive good guy Tanner Foust to show skateboarded Ryan Sheckler the ropes of what UTVing is like.

Polaris proudly announced its win of the 2023 Popular Science “Best of What’s New” Award in the automotive category for its all-electric Polaris RANGER XP Kinetic.
