If that sounds too good to be true, boy do we have some news for you! Amped Off-Road is changing the game, but before we tell you exactly why, let’s talk about where other seats are lacking.
A quick internet search about stock UTV seats yields dozens of complaints, with some major offenders.
American Off-Roads Talk Amped Off-Road Seats and Give You The Overview
Can-Am X3 seats pop up a lot in consumer complaints. The mounts on their seats tend to loosen, causing the lower quality fabric to rub against the plastic interior of the vehicle until it frays and shreds. After that you are left with a seat that looks rough, is no longer sealed against water and mud (do you know how much bacteria can get in those nooks and crannies when they aren’t sealed right?), and can’t even hold you steady while you move. The seats also tend to be stiff, this will lead to jarring your spine until an injury eventually occurs!
RZR seats are without a doubt, one of the most disliked stock seats on the market. The RZR pro seats are narrow, the edges are short, but at a harsh angle. The rigid nature of the seat absorbs almost none of the impact from the terrain. This is one of the most important features of a side by side seat. If you take nothing else away from what we’ve laid out here, listen to this: Your seats are protection for your body. The longer you protect your body, the longer you can spend out in your UTV!
Then last on our list of problem seats, the Honda Talon seats. These might have the fewest complaints, but it’s all still there. Narrow seats, vibration, impacts felt, joints left aching after your rides. The additional issue with Talon seats is the lack of stabilization inside of the side. You’re likely to slide, and when you slide you tense. We’re right back to those aching muscles!
So we have a solution! And it’s one that can conveniently be bought here on our site. Amped Off-road Seats. These are suspension seats, a network of flexible cords underneath the base allow your body to move naturally with the vehicle instead of jarring you against it. This greatly impacts your bones and joints, leaving you less sore after a rough drive.
The side of the seat, instead of being a harsh angle– like the RZR seats, are a more gentle sloping angle, and come up significantly higher on the bottom and further out on the sides. This mimics the effect of a racing seat, hugging your body gently with padded edges on every side.
The fabric is marine-grade, strong, durable and this seat is sealed against water better than any stock seat you’re going to find!
Like the comfy chair we talked about in the beginning, Amped Off-road has taken the time to lovingly craft a seat that takes care of you. The seats are sleek, cool-looking, padded, and protective. If you would take the time to find the perfect chair for your home, we think you should be finding the perfect chair to be between you and your SXS.

Hello To The Worlds first UTV Fire Suppression System, When you are out on your UTV or side by side there is only one thing you want to be thinking about: having a good time. Whether it’s just you out on your vehicle or you’re having a great time off-roading with your buddies and family, that’s what you want to be focused on. You want to be enjoying the thrill of riding on different terrains, enjoying the freedom being about to leave the road far behind you.
What you don’t want to be thinking about is the danger that your vehicle could potentially pose, and if you would be able to notice that danger before it was too late.
One of the most intense dangers you can face in your machine is the possibility of the engine catching on fire. There are many reasons why a UTV or Side by Side could catch on fire, but all of them lie in the mechanics of the vehicle. The true danger is that you might not notice the flames underneath or behind you with enough time to safely be able to exit your vehicle. In 2016 there was a string of accidents involving engine fires in UTV’s, and there were even deaths and major injuries associated with the incidents.
To keep you from needing to be constantly thinking about the threat of fire while you are out trying to enjoy your time, the smart people at PROTENG have come up with an Automatic Fire Suppression system to protect you and give you time to get out of your vehicle safely.
UTV partsAmerican Off-Roads Introduce a Fire Safety Product For UTV's & Side by Sides.
The issue with other fire suppression systems can be the need for human awareness. They require you to push a button, to know that something is on fire. Sometimes these systems require connections, batteries, and maintenance that defeats the point of having something that you can be sure will keep you safe regardless of your awareness.
The PROTENG UTV Automatic Fire Suppression HD system is a flexible tube that wraps around your engine, giving your 360 degrees of protection from flames anywhere in the engine compartment of your vehicle. This tube is full of FM-200 gas that when heated enough will combust and deploy 3-4 feet in all directions, both suppressing flames and giving your time to safely exit your vehicle without fear of harm. The pressure of the gas deploying creates a loud audible puff that lets you know something has set off the gas and alerts you to the need to leave your vehicle.
Best of all this FM-200 gas is non-corrosive, non-residue leaving, and environmentally clean. It’s gas that is used in inhalers used around the world every day. You don’t have to worry about the system to you have to save your life, ruining your engine in the process. Instead, you can rest easy knowing that you and your family and friends are safe, and your vehicle can be repaired without fear of the gas destroying it fully.
In the product information on this product, we have an installation guide and a how-to video that will show you how to install this floating system easily with all the needed items enclosed in the packaging of the system.
No longer will there be a need to hope that, in the event of some fire causing emergency, you notice flames from the corner of your eye, or catch the smell of burning early enough to get out of your vehicle.
Lots of the time when we talk about UTV’s/Side by Sides the first thing that people want to do is get out there and having a good time, but what you need to think about— probably much closer to the purchase of your vehicle then you want to, is what parts the manufacturer is putting into them.
It’s not surprising, when you think about it, that a manufacturer is going to use lower-cost, very flexible parts. This keeps the initial cost of your vehicle down, and it’ll get you out in your new toy right off the bat. You may not notice many issues at first, but the reality is, it won’t take long before you start to notice that at higher speeds your vehicle is vibrating more than it should.
Your manufacturer utv carrier bearing isn’t made up of nearly enough stabilizing solid material. Instead, you get a very large rubber bushing, and inside of that rubber bushing is the metal bearing. They build it like this for a reason. Manufacturers want there to be tolerance and an allowable amount of movement, but that soon can become way, way too much movement for your vehicle.
It isn’t holding your driveline snug enough. Just like the rest of us, your driveline wants to be held— but in all seriousness, in order for the driveline to be in phase it needs to be held at just the right angle to keep it balanced.
Your driveline is being beaten up, and it isn’t strong enough to take it. Just like your carrier bearings, your driveline isn’t built with the most love and care in the world. It isn’t perfectly balanced, it isn’t being held at the correct angle, and the U-Joints aren’t automotive U-joints. So what you get from the manufacturer is only meant to go up to 45 mph or around 2k RPMS constantly. So when time wears down the rubber in your carrier bearing and you are going faster, your driveline can bend and twist.
Let’s Talk About Vibration Or How Important Your Utv Carrier Bearings Are.
First, you take care of your stock carrier bearing as long as possible. Mud and debris get into the rubber bushing pretty easily. Greasing it every other time you go out will help keep it around longer, but you can’t fight the inevitable. Eventually, there will be too much play and you will notice that your vehicle is making a lot of noise and vibrating more than it should be.
You upgrade. It’s important for the longevity of your vehicle, and for your own continued safety. No one wants a driveline vibrating out of control between their legs when they are out trying to have fun!
When it comes time for you to upgrade we recommend Sandcraft RCR Motorsports, and here’s why:
Sandcraft RCR uses a self-aligning technology in their carrier bearings. That allows the bearing to stay snuggly and securely around your driveline. It also corrects that angle that we mentioned above.
