Lets Be Honest, Have You Thought About Upgrading Your UTV Harnesses Yet? Lets Talk about It and Much More.
Recently we had a real heart to heart about why it was absolutely, irrefutably important that you take a long hard look at the stock seats on your UTV. There was a laundry list of reasons that can refresh on right here about UTV Seats, and because there was so much information to go over in that post, we didn’t get a chance to talk to you about another component that goes right along with your side by side seats– UTV Harnesses.
Your side by side harness is as important to a UTV seat as a seatbelt is to your seat in a car. Imagine you have a seatbelt that frays, jams, snaps under pressure, and generally fails to keep you and your passenger safe. What’s the point?
There isn’t much of one, and these are some of the problems with stock harnesses. Sadly, they aren’t the only issue’s you’re going to find. RZR Harnesses and Talon Harnesses both tend to dig into the skin of the wearer (and let’s be real here, we get enough of that in our car already, and we can’t change out those!), and there is little to no padding. X3 Harnesses suffer from a lot of the same issues, AND have a bad habit of being incredibly difficult to tighten over time. If we’re all being honest, they also tend to look less than great. Okay… maybe the last one isn’t a huge priority, but looks matter, right?! When you’re putting all of this time and attention (and money) into your SXS it better look good too!
American Off-Roads is here to solve your problems, yet again! Don’t worry, we like doing it. This is the best hobby around.
Amped Off-Road doesn’t just make the amazing seats we’ve been raving about, they made harnesses too! After everything we’ve told you about the dedication and craftsmanship of Amped Off Road, we don’t think it’s going to be a huge surprise when we tell you this. Their harnesses are just as phenomenal!
American Off-Roads Talk Amped Off-Road Harnesses and Give You The Overview
You can order your straps in 2” or 3” width to prevent biting into even the most broad of shoulders.
Amped Off-road harnesses come with padding that can be removed and moved to different positions inside of the harness. Take a moment to really imagine that! As you are driving through rough terrain, your body held in place by straps of fabric, constantly knocking into narrow straps– now imagine that bruising and aching the next day. That can all be avoided now with wide, comfortable padding that keeps all of the support and safety you need.
To add to the list of features you can, and definitely should, choose to use– these bad boys come with a removable, adjustable sternum strap. This durable strap sits across (you guessed it!) your sternum, keeping your straps snuggly in place, and adding even more points of contact to keep you from bouncing around. A four point harness is usually enough for most people, but adding more security never hurts!
The harness is safer than your stock harnesses, but that’s not all they are bringing to the table. In our shop we currently have EIGHT vibrant colors. That way you can mix and match to your heart’s content and find the perfect color scheme for your UTV…. before you get it covered in mud, that is. (Don’t worry, it’ll wash right off!)
Have you ever taken a moment to think about what makes a really, really good UTV seats? If you were picking out a seat for your house, what would you want in it? Support? Comfort? Something you can sink into, kick your feet up, crack open a cold drink in, and then forget about the rest of the world?
When you take each of those elements apart, piece by piece, it always comes down to the same basic idea. Craftsmanship means comfort. The fabric, the cushioning, that sweet, sweet lumbar support– someone designed each of those functions with research, a plan, and a lot of care about your comfort.
Here at American Off-Roads, we think that you should expect the same level of comfort from your UTV seats. You spend your free time, maybe even some of your work time, in them– bouncing around off the beaten path, getting tossed side to side, probably feeling like you might slip over the edge of your seats as you move.
We’ve got a little secret to tell you; it’s not supposed to feel that way. Your side by side seats should be hugging your body into place, preventing extreme movements and possible, next-day, injuries. It should be wide enough for comfort and angled just right for support. There should be some give in the padding of your seat that helps you sink deeper, and more securely into your seat.
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
UTV partsCan-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.
