Enjoy Your Ride! Top 5 Accessories for a More Comfortable Ride in Your RZR
Offroading is a tough sport, that isn’t suited to people who are afraid to get dirty. But let’s face it, even for the most hardcore off-road enthusiasts, being more comfortable makes for a more enjoyable day on the trail. Most RZR’s are missing many of the basics that can turn your SxS into a much better vehicle that you will love driving even more.
Staying out of the sun, rain and mud is essential for comfort. No matter if you upgrade your cage, add a roof rack, or keep it stock: you need a roof. Closing off your doors is also nice to keep you much cleaner, warmer, and safer. Click here for some roof options that are priced affordably:

Chupacabra Offroad sells lower door inserts, which screw right into the stock door, and bolt right up with our inner door bags without needing extra drilling or hardware. You can see more here: https://www.amazon.com/2014-2019-Pola…
The stock RZR seats are flimsy, cheap, and you have to cut holes in them to even properly use harnesses. Upgrading to suspension seats makes a huge difference on all day rides, and in rocky terrain. Brands like PRP have different styles that are wider, and have more bolstering, and as the main contact point of your SxS, trust us, it’s money well spent. Take comfort to the next level with seat heaters, for comfort once it gets chilly. Check out upgraded seats here: https://www.prpseats.com/product-cate…
Upgrading your stock shock springs could easily be #1 on this list! Polaris, CanAm, and all the other OEM’s have serious safety restrictions, and also cut costs with stock springs, that have to fit a “one size fits all” spring rate. Upgrading your springs and valving is some of the best money you can spend. We did a full breakdown and review of a Shock Therapy spring kit, in multiple riding environments, you can see more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DivK…
Whether hot or cold, adding a half or full windshield can help keep your warm, and out of the dust. Half windshields work great for how inexpensive and easy they are to install. If you want a full windshield, we recommend glass, but if you want Poly, ensure it’s hard coated, this makes them 30x more scratch resistant, and believe us, they scratch easy! Check out some options here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rzr+windsh…
Lastly, don’t hit the trails without some eye protection and a helmet. We STRONGLY recommend helmets, even if your state doesn’t require them. We prefer a helmet with a shield, similar to a sport bike or car racing style, the shield works incredibly well for keeping dust out of your eyes, and with some sunglasses underneath, you have a easy solution. If you are using a motocross helmet, or no helmet at all, make sure you pick up “Sand” motocross goggles from brands like Oakley, and Fox. These have a closed cell foam, which is better for keeping dust particles out of your eyes. Check out the goggles here: https://www.amazon.com/Oakley-L-Frame…

Be safe when riding, pick accessories for comfort and we guarantee you will have a more enjoyable ride. Happy trails!
