Hey everyone,

I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.

I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.

Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?

I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.

Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Mine has Plexiglas that folds down in the middle..it's crap..the fold makes for poor visibility up or down and it's now so scratched up I can barely see thru it.

I agree, while mine doesn't fold you can take either half off. I will have to take the top off if I use it much as it's so bad I can barely see thru it. Oh, its plexiglas.

A little late on this but similar to what has been discussed above, plexiglass is junk. I had one on my Can-am Commander and just threw it away. It was hazy and had terrible visibility. I would suggest getting a laminated glass windshield with vents. They are well worth the extra money. There are a lot of companies that make affordable aftermarket windshields as well. I have personally used Alpha Windshields and been very happy with their product. https://www.alphawindshields.com/ just depends on what side by side you have. If they don't make one that fits then there are quite a few companies that make a nice product. That is my suggestion.

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.

      Which is the best oil to use ?
      By Prepper
      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      What UTV should I buy?
      By Edelbrock
      So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
      Not sure what make/model to even look at.
       
      I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
      I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
       
       
      Thoughts?

      🏁 $100 Gift Card for 30-Min Zoom Chat – Share Your ATV / UTV Experience! 🏞️
      By UTVLover253
      Hey everyone – my name is Adam and I’m doing some market research to better understand the ATV / UTV community. I'm especially interested in hearing about:
      What you use your vehicle for (work, play, etc.)
      What you love about it
      What frustrates you
      What the overall experience of riding has been like
      If you're open to hopping on a casual 30-minute Zoom or phone call sometime this week or next, I’ll send you a $100 gift card as a thank-you.
      No sales, no pitches—just listening and learning. I'd also just ask that you send over a photo of you and your side-by-side in action (nothing formal—trail pics or selfies are totally fine!).
      If you're down to chat, drop a comment or DM me and we’ll find a time that works. Would really appreciate the chance to learn from you 🙏
      Thanks!
      – Adam
