subject: Atv Dual Wheel Kits Make Getting Into Difficult Spots Easy [print this page] Not many people are aware of the fact that they can increase the stability and traction of their ATV by adding a set of wheels to their ride. Dual wheels for ATV use is not a new concept, but until recently there have only been a handful of outdoor enthusiasts that have ever heard of putting an additional set of wheels onto their ATV. Seeing four wheelers with eight wheels is something that is atypical, but for the serious people that need to get into rough terrain there is nothing better. The design of the ATV wheel kits is set up so that the lugs of the original set of wheel lock onto the added wheels so that both will turn together. Providing greater control without the swaying or leaning of the vehicle as it climbs the side of a hill the improved stability is unequalled by any other product.
While some farmers and ranchers outfit their ATV with a track like a tank, the easy to install ATV dual wheels can be removed easily for loading the vehicle onto a trailer or being packed into the bed of a truck. In addition to being installed or removed in seconds the spare set of wheels provide a lighter foundation for the rider. Spreading the weight of the engine and rider out over a greater area the modified ATV floats over any tough environment. Able to navigate mud without sinking in like other four wheelers and manage to move over a fresh blanket of snow with ease the serious hunters and individuals that are working in adverse conditions can make short work of crossing any type of terrain.
With the option of adding an additional set of wheels to both sets of axles or just the rear axle the torque is increased and the operator is able to pull a load over and through just about any rough surface. With all four wheels locked onto the original wheel lugs an ATV has enough ballast to literally float on top of a lake. Naturally there is some displacement of the water, but the distribution of weight and the air pressure of eight wheels is sufficient to keep the rider and his or her machine from sinking.
The best feature of the additional dual wheels for ATV enthusiasts however has to be the ease at which a person is able to add or remove the traction from their ride. After some practice it is possible to reduce the installation time down to only a few seconds and be out on the trails or driving over the most uninviting terrain in a matter of moments. With a serious set of wheels that add traction and stability to any make and model of ATV the only thing that makes being outdoors better is a modified ride that can be adjusted for every kind of weather.
