Quality vs Quantity in ATV and Dirt Bike
Over the years, we have seen many Chinese ATV companies come in and out of the ATV and dirt bike industries…and they’re all in a neck-to-neck fight with each other for a bigger share of the market. Lower prices. Bigger engine. More Power. Slick design. Better braking system. You name it, they have it. Although many of the dirt bike and ATV manufacturers deliver as far as quality is concerned but we feel the urge to remind our ATV and dirt bike fans, dealers and distributors that there’s nothing more important than QUALITY CONTROL. We’re talking about fun, yes. It’s fun ATV fans after but that doesn’t mean that we have to compromise our safety.
It’s good news that many more people today have come to accept ATV riding and dirt bike riding as a regular sport because this often means a bigger market and wider acceptance for our products. But because of the spike in interest, many ATV and dirt bike manufacturers have taken the opportunity to produce low cost ATVs and dirt bikes. Whilst this is good news for ATV and dirt bike enthusiasts, we feel the urge to send a word of caution out – be wary and careful about the kind of ATV and dirt bike that you purchase from your retailer. By purchasing a low-cost ATV or dirt bike, you may be compromising the lifelives of those riding that machine.

ATV Protective Gear
In some cases, ATV enthusiasts, new and more seasoned, might resist wearing ATV protective gear when riding. Some people don’t like the heaviness of the gear. Other people don’t like the way the gear looks. Still others believe they are capable enough to drive their ATVs without getting in an accident. Unfortunately, it does not matter how skilled you are on the ATV, or your previous track record. An accident could happen to anybody, at any time, and it is best to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. ATV accidents are common, and there is always a certain level of danger. But you can minimize that danger, and maximize your chances of walking away from an ATV accident, but wearing protective gear.
The first, and most important, part of your outfit is your helmet. There are many different types of helmets, but the safest are full-faced helmets with a face-shied. The face-shield protects the rider from harsh winds, bugs, flying debris, and of course, serious injury should the rider go over the front of the handle-bars, or should the ATV roll. The helmet should be the appropriate size for the person wearing it-that is children should not wear adult helmets-and it should fit securely without being too tight or too lose. It is best to measure the size of your head and then get a precise measurement of the helmet, rather than relying on general sizes.
