How To Choose An ATV

Getting an ATV is an investment in adventure and adrenaline rushes. But before you can enjoy the powersports lifestyle, you will need to pick a quad. Use the below tips to make the shopping process easier, then check out the ATVs for sale at Angler's Choice Marine & RV. Our dealership proudly serves those in North Carolina, including those in Lexington.

Define The ATV's Purpose

Start by determining how you'll use your ATV, which influences the features you prioritize.

If the four-wheeler is for recreational riding, you'll want:

• a compact frame that can fit width-restricted trails
• high agility and speed capacity
• enough room to bring along a passenger to share in the fun

If the quad is for work projects, seek out:

• high hauling and towing capacity
• plenty of storage space for carrying cargo
• comfortable seating for long hours of work

If the ATV is for hunting trips, prioritize:

• quiet running engines so you don't scare game away
• neutral colors that better blend into the surroundings

Factor In Your Experience Level

Newbies will want to stick to engines in the 250 to 300ccs range. They'll also benefit from features that make riding easier, such as throttle limiters and keyed ignitions.

Advanced riders will want engines that perform to their experience level. It's also helpful to get larger and heavier models that offer improved stability on those more challenging routes.

Consider The Terrain

ATVs are designed for conquering compact dirt terrain but not all models are well-suited to conquer more challenging terrain, such as dirt or sand. If you want to explore these terrains, get a quad that is capable of handling tougher turf.
