ATV Accessories

As with all utility vehicles, there are various accessories available for all-terrain vehicles. Various companies offer a vast range of accessories for the vehicles.

The common accessories available for ATVs are storage devices, bags, clothing and seating, amongst others. Some specialized accessories are used for pulling trailers.

Storage devices are usually front and rear utility baskets. Most of the front utility baskets have tubular slots for grabbing the ATV rack handles, which make them easier to install and less cumbersome to use.


Storage boxes which contain coolers can be used to store cans, bottles and various tools. Some even have square-shaped boxes which can be used to store various other materials.

Quad trunks are also available. They are generally wraparound to the ATV. The trunks are mostly used when a lot of materials have to be stored and transported during a drive.

Specialized fuel storage devices are also available. One can store about 3 gallons of fuel in these storage devices. A common fuel storage device will have slots for two one-gallon fuel tanks, and space in between for common storage.

There are special seat cushions known as loungers, which are a comfortable seat for the driver and double as storage devices. In this case, the storage device is attached to the seat and it can be used to store valuables during long journeys.

Special fender bags are also available. These bags wrap around the fender and come with compartments designed for easy reachability of bottles, cans and other sundry items needed during a journey.

Rack bags can be placed either behind the ATV or on the front utility basket. Crate bags are also useful to carry bottles while traveling on the ATV. A crate of varying size is covered with a bag, thereby making it more stylish. Bottle holders are also available. These holders are insulated and can be attached to fit on racks or handlebars. Common bottle holders can hold up to 20 oz and are 6” to 7” long.

Different types of clothes, specially made and designed for ATV riders, are also available. Different types of headgear are also available for the ATV rider. Special gauntlets which keep the hand warm and safe from the hard handlebars are available, as are gaiters for foot protection. They usually cover the feet, like high boots.

Thumb grips which help prevent soreness and tiredness of the thumbs for a ATV rider are available, while a multi-purpose tool and utility grid is sometimes used to stack tools like shovels and axes used in various labor or field jobs.

There are various accessories specially made for sole purposes, for example, the chainsaw mount, which is a metal sleeve which protects the chain, while the chainsaw is set in a metal bracket.
Most of the accessories are cheap and cost less than $200. In fact, a rough list of all the accessories featured here will run up a total cost of around $2,500. But it is a price well paid for the amount of utility value and style these small accessories add to an ATV.
