Owning an ATV is great for anyone who likes adventure or who needs to tackle tough jobs. They’re built to handle rough terrain and travel quickly. However, it’s usually more enjoyable to bring along a friend, but not all models come standard with passenger seating. Our team at Road Track & Trail has a few tips to help you decide whether or not to buy a rear seat for your ATV and what to look for if you do. 

Benefits of Rear Seating

It’s pretty obvious that the main benefit of adding a rear seat is adding the opportunity to bring along a friend when you ride. However, rear seating can also give you more storage space. Many seats will have built-in storage for your gear, accessories, and tools. So, even if you don’t often have a second rider, the seating can increase your storage capacity. 

Seat Size

Once you determine it’s time to add a seat, you’ll have a few factors to consider. First, it’s important to decide what seat size is the best choice. You need to look for something that is designed for your specific model, but you’ll also want to look for something that can handle the type of riding you do. The size of the seat can also add to comfort and make driving easier in some scenarios.

Seat Material

Another choice you’ll have to make is what kind of material the seat should be made of. Waterproof options are usually the best, but you’ll also want to factor in cost and durability. Look for materials that are easy to clean and difficult to damage.
