It´s one debate that doesn´t seem to be going anywhere fast. If you´re buying a brand new winch like the Superwinch Terra 45 or maybe it is just time to replace your old cable. Which way do you go: steel or synthetic? Let´s take a look at the pros and cons so you can decide once and for all which is better for YOU. Life of the Cable After an extended period of time depending on use, a steel cable can start to crimp, get rust spots or develop frayed strands of steel cable which can give you nasty cuts and also decrease the reliability of the cable. In the short term, the steel cable can take a lot more abuse than the synthetic variety. However, synthetic cables can have a much longer life. That is of course only if it is taken care of and carefully prevented from fraying on the edges. Fraying edges on a synthetic cable is the beginning of the end for this more costly type of cable. The more affordable steel cables might be more attractive for the rugged wincher who doesn't mind replacing a steel cable at the first signs of wear. Potential and Kinetic Energy You don´t need to be a science major to recognize the danger of a cable under extreme tension. Whether it is due to overbearing the cable or a replacement cable is well overdue, it can be a potentially very dangerous situation. In terms of this, Synthetic is generally the winner as it doesn´t become a dangerous projectile. It is also easier on the hands and actually provides more pull per inch. Bear in mind however, that your maximum pulling power is still limited by the winch you select. It´s downside is that if it is in contact with a sharp edge, it has the possibility of slicing or fraying the edges, which is very unlikely with a steel cable. UltraViolet Some users of synthetic cable have made complaints about UV damage causing weakness that leads to a decrease in strength. Newer synthetic lines are being manufactured UV resistant, and a winch cover is also a cheap solution to this problem. Company Choice About 95% of new winches are being shipped by their companies with standard steel winch cables. This can be taken as just because they are the cheaper option of the two for them to make the most profit, or a signal that it is still the best choice of cable. Power As I mentioned before, Synthetic does provide you with more pounds per inch. Which means more pulling power for less cable. Even though pulling power is generally determined by the winch, check out this article with tips for both types of cables on how to double your pulling power. Conclusion: Synthetic is the latest and more expensive cousin, that still has a few kinks to iron out before it really replaces steel cables completely. Steel has been proven in every condition. It is tried and tested and cheaper. For reliability and cost, definitely your cable of choice.

The muscular Brute Force 750 4x4 ATV picked up a ton of upgrades for the 2012 model. An Electric Power Steering (EPS) system is one of the biggest changes, but other new features like a more-powerful V-twin engine, new double-wishbone front suspension, six-spoke cast alloy wheels and new bodywork featuring wide-stance styling cues help share the load. HMF ATV exhaust systems have always responded well to the Brute Force engine. The 2012 model picks up a lot of horse power and torque, especially on the Swamp series. Swamp Series The Swamp is great for it's large mechanical core that directs and controls sound pulses to keep sound levels approximately 1-2 dB over stock. Performance Series The HMF Performance Series has a specially designed, unrestricted core that allows the exhaust to increase power evenly throughout the entire power curve. It also features the signature HMF sound with industry-leading end cap and color options, giving you a completely custom look. Penland Pro Series Backed by ATV legend Mike Penland, the Penland Series was developed for serious off road racers and trail riders striving to achieve more low end torque. The Penland features the same core as the Performance Series, but features the removable TRM that allows quads to hook-up in rough conditions. Swamp XL Series The younger brother of the Swamp Series, the Swamp XL Series (extra loud) offers anywhere between 1-2 more horse power than the standard Swamp Series. What makes the Swamp XL different than the Swamp Series is the non-restrictive core that produces very high dB sound levels. Each HMF Exhaust: Includes a USFS Approved Spark Arrester. Includes a 2 Year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty. Is made of high quality Aluminum, Stainless Steel, or Carbon Kevlar. Packed with high performance glass wool packing. Includes Installation Instructions. Manufactured in the U.S.A. Don't Forget: Whenever you add an after-market exhaust system to your machine, tuning your carburetor is, in most cases, an absolute necessity. The proper jets and EFI settings are extremely important for the performance and lifespan of your machine.Tuning Kits are available to ensure your machine runs at it's top performance and your HMF Warranty remains valid. HMF Exhaust is available on Amazon!

Can you really double the pulling power of your regular winch? Over the years I have discovered methods that might surprise you by how much they can increase the pulling power of your ATV winch. Following these simple tips might be the difference of getting out of a sticky situation and waiting for help. Battery The best solution is preparation. Get a good quality battery and maintain it. The largest your ATV can take with the most “Cold Cranking Amps” will give you the best initial pull. If your at maximum pull and your battery is struggling to provide power, keep the engine running and give the throttle a little gas to help the battery. I haven´t needed to in the past, but some guys install a second heavy duty battery dedicated for recovery. I prefer to go without the extra weight. Snatch block and Cable Use a snatch block to double the line. These things can single-handedly double your direct pulling power and assist in pulling from angles if need be. You will notice the pulling speed is slower, but don´t worry, the extra power you can squeeze out of your winch can be worth the wait in certain situations. The use of a snatch block also means for close pulls you can reach the ideal length of cable for the pull. One layer of cable (5 rolls) wrapped on the drum will pull securely and at maximum power. Winches are rated for their pull strength at this amount of cable on the drum. The angle of the cable leaving the drum should be perpendicular as well. If the cable is at an angle, the winch will not be working at capacity. Pulling methods Creating the path of least resistance will also dramatically increase the pulling power of your winch. Always angle the front tires of the stuck ATV in the direction of the pull. If possible, the stuck ATV should be driven towards the direction of the pull, but only at moderate throttle and start slow. Let the winch cool and power regenerate after 1.5 minutes of continuous use. Avoid damage and overheating to maintain the power and life of your winch. If stuck in snow or mud, dig out around the tires and use twigs, sticks and brush to provide traction. Doing this right the first time might take an extra few minutes, but can save you hours.

Female riders are drastically increasing in numbers every day. Look for them at any trailhead, and you are bound to notice a growing percentage of the riders these days are indeed women. Getting out on the trail and riding full speed ahead is just as exciting for women as it is for the more traditional male rider; however, before you hit the trail wide open, there are a couple of things that you need to take into consideration. First off: Always be prepared! Remember: You must prepare for the accident then enjoy the ride! Don’t be misled. There is a common misconception that ATVs are a lot safer, say for instance, than a dirt bike, just because they have four wheels and can stand up on their own. This assumption sometimes leads to disaster. Sure an ATV can stand on its own. So as long as you are sitting there, looking pretty posing for a picture, you should be just fine! However, going around a curve, up a hill or slamming into something head on, you might want to be aware of a few other facts. For instance, an ATV is typically 2 to 3 times heavier than a dirt bike; and when it lands on top of you, you will know why that is important! Also, this will be important when it gets stuck in the mud or off over an embankment. Always be prepared to lift something 3 or 4 times your own weight out of an unplanned location! The best way to do this is utilize either the buddy system or a winch/tow kit on the ATV itself. This fact also has to be taken into consideration during loading and unloading the ATV. Speaking of the buddy system, that is always a good idea. Never ride alone and always make sure someone knows where you are going to be riding and when you plan to return from your trip. There are other things to remember as well. Always carry a first aid kit, a bottle of water, a whistle and a radio. The first aid kit will come in handy if you or another rider is in any sort of accident, or even scrape your hand trying to change a spark plug! A bottle of water is useful to wash out any cuts or abrasions or to wash the dust out of your mouth after following too closely behind someone up a dusty trail. The whistle will definitely come in handy if you happen to go off over an embankment and need someone to find you. A whistle is much louder than a scream and is more likely be heard over the sound of the motors of passing ATVs. The radio can come in handy to let others know of your location or to call for help in an emergency. You can also use it if you get lost, or maybe to have your mate bring you an extra soda on their way up to where you are. Don’t skimp on safety gear, either. Always wear, at least, a Snell- or DOT-approved helmet and eye protection. I also recommend gloves, ankle high boots, long sleeves, and pants. You never know when a briar across a trail either will suddenly rip through your skin or get brushed out of the way by the denim of your jeans or better still, your riding pants. The choice is yours. Always check your equipment thoroughly before you take off. Be sure to check the tire pressure. They should all be inflated to the same pressure. If the pressure is different in tires opposite each other, it will make the ATV very difficult to handle even in the best of situations. The appropriate tire pressure is usually between 2 and 6 psi. Check your owner’s manual for the appropriate psi for your ATV. (There is usually a sticker on the ATV with this information as well.) In addition, check the tires for cuts or gouges that could lead to leakage or a blow out. Make sure the brakes are fully functioning as well as the lights, kill switch, ignition, and throttle. Don’t forget to check the fluids like gas and oil for evidence of any possible leaks. When camping on the trail, make sure to take everything you will need with you. Nothing is worse than waking up to horrible morning breath miles from the nearest store and instead of being excited about the day’s ride, all you can think about it is how you would trade those new hand warmers for one dental travel pack! Always pay attention to personal and equipment safety as well. ATVs are high on the list of ‘most often stolen items,’ as they are regularly sold again and again throughout their life without license, titles, bill of sale, certificate of ownership, etc., which makes them very hard to trace. In addition, being in the minority as a woman rider, you do stand out on the trail, so take extra precautions with your personal safety. Be aware of your surroundings and again, the buddy system is recommended on all rides. Here are a few other quick tips for everyone: Be familiar with your ATV and look at the owner’s manual if you have any questions. Never ride beyond your ability! Do not ride double unless your ATV is built specifically for double riders. Doing so makes the ATV less maneuverable, harder to handle, and more likely to turn over or flip. Riding on hard surfaces actually makes it harder to turn an ATV. Do not ride on hardtop unless you have tires specifically for that type of surface. Ride legally and always leave the area better than you found it. Keep the noise levels down by making sure your muffler system meets the 96 decibel limit that was established in 2003. Alcohol and drugs do NOT mix with ATVs. Be courteous to other riders. When on a trail, always show respect to the environment and other riders. Never lend your ATV to unskilled riders. Know and respect the laws about letting children under the age of 16 ride an ATV. Never put your foot down when riding an ATV as a cast will definitely put a damper on going dancing next Saturday night! Lean forward when going up a hill. Go slow going up a hill, but try not to have to stop or change gears, as either one of these actions can cause the ATV to flip backwards. Never back down the hill. Turn the quad around and go back down the hill forward. Be sure to lean back as you are going down the hill. Aways try to keep the center of gravity as low as possible by keeping all the weight you can on your feet. You can usually accomplish this by standing up. Remember to keep your knees flexible to avoid possible injury or strain. Do not pull back on the handle bars when going up a hill. Never use the front brake when going forward at excessive speeds or down a steep slope. These are only a few of the tips you should heed when heading out on the trail, but they are a good start. There will be other things you discover along the way. One final note: Don’t let this article discourage you from riding. It is meant to install enough fear to make you a bit more cautious and safe enough to ride for years to come. I hope to meet some of you out on the trail, always with the rubber side down! Have an awesome ride!

Shocks Feature Exclusive ‘Tucked-in’ Configuration, XC Springs Ham Lake, MN — MOTOWOZ Performance Systems is proud to announce the release of its new front piggyback shocks for cross-country ATV racing. The XC Piggyback Shock features an exclusive “tucked-in” reservoir configuration to provide an enhanced fit and improved durability and XC-specific springs. “The reservoir is packaged much closer to the main body of the shock,” explained Jim Jaworski, MOTOWOZ president. “We engineered the shock this way because our experience has shown most racers will run some type of a long-travel A-arm. With the more typical piggyback design, the shock’s reservoir can hit the A-arm in the backside of the ball joint area as the shock moves deeper into its travel. Our compact design eliminates that problem.” Many competitive shock brands incorporate remote reservoirs for use on ATVs set up for cross-country racing. MOTOWOZ took that knowledge into account and also knows many cross-country A-arms have an integrated adjustment area or device to alter the machine’s caster. Jaworski said this caster-altering mechanism consumes more valuable space and increases the likelihood of contact with a shock’s reservoir. “Our tucked-in setup also makes for a more refined package as opposed to exposed remote reservoirs. They stick out less, require less components during the bolt-on stage and are less likely to make contact with another quad or obstacle on the trail.” The MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback shock features Adjustable Spring Progression (ASP), which gives the end user or shock tuner endless adjustment scenarios for racing off-road. The shocks are adjustable for compression and rebound and include a particular triple-rate XC Spring package that has been specifically calibrated for cross-country applications. “Our compression and rebound adjuster effectively changes the shock’s internal settings and alters how the oil flows as the shock travels through its various strokes. Both adjusters also work in conjunction with relief valves that make them velocity sensitive,” explained Jaworski. “With our tunable, progressive spring package you can truly control the point where each spring takes over during the suspension process. In addition, you can make these adjustments with the shocks mounted to your quad, which ultimately saves you time and energy.” MOTOWOZ Performance Systems • 13941 Lincoln Street #300 •Ham Lake, MN 55304 USA MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback Shock Made from honed hydraulic cylinder tubing, the XC Piggyback bodies are CNC machined and then polished and plated for a distinguished appearance and durable finish. Like all MOTOWOZ shocks, the XC Piggyback model includes the company’s distinctive design traits: Stub Acme threads, aircraft-quality billet aluminum parts, 5/8-inch oversized shaft that is ground and hard chromed, triple-seal configuration, high-grade oil, Velocity Sensitive Valving (VSV), hard-anodized aluminum piston and precision stamped valve discs. MOTOWOZ XC Piggyback Retail Price: $1,349 “Winning is important and that’s why I strive to eliminate potential problem areas. A rider’s abilities can only go as far as the equipment. If I can make it possible for the rider to focus on racing and not product flaws, then I’ve done my part of the equation and given them a better chance to win. And I feel rewarded when I see my customers standing on the podium and earning titles,” said Jaworski.

In Its Quest to Help Find a Cure The day was beautiful. The trail was just damp enough to keep the dust down. Friends were laughing in the background. Off-road engines were roaring past here and there. Could this day get any better? We soon discovered it could. Having a new Polaris RZR as our vehicle of choice turned an already awesome day into an unforgettable one as we took on the challenge of the Brown Mountains. Standing Out in the Crowd From the time we pulled into the parking lot, the Pink RZR was the center of attention. Now when you think PINK 4-wheeler, especially a side-x-side, you think “Oh no, you didn’t!” but in fact, we did. When I first saw it, I thought of the old Barbie Mobiles from years ago. However, when I climbed in, turned the key and fired up those 800ccs, I knew immediately, this was no Barbie Mobile! So did everyone else. Later in the day, some of the other riders dubbed it the Pink Panther. By the end of the day, everyone understood why THIS machine is the keynote equipment used in the 2009 OHV Tour for a Cure. The Legendary Mountain Brown Mountain OHV Park was the perfect place to test out this new machine. Steeped in mystery, this mountain range is legendary, especially among off-road enthusiasts. Everyone who goes there has heard some of the old folklore that passes down through the generations. There are tales of ancient maidens and warriors who still travel these hills in the deep of night looking for answers, truths, and each other. Some of the legends say this is the place to find the answers to whatever you are seeking. That is exactly what we found that day. The truth is, the RZR can take on any challenge it encounters and conquer it, including the formidable Brown Mountains. The Trail System Brown Mountain OHV Park has an intricate system of trails for all difficulty ratings. There is definitely something for everyone. My favorite loop is going up the main trail (#1) from the trailhead, taking it all the way to the top and circling back around on trail #8. That is the route I took first with the RZR to get used to this new machine. I was impressed from the first turn. During the day, we hit each of the other trails, one by one, until we had conquered them all except the ones labeled for bikes only. The RZR did phenomenally well on all of them. The RZR Immediately, I knew the RZR came endowed with power, endurance, strength, and durability unmatched by any other side-x-side I had ever tested. Its more compact size in width and length allowed me to go anywhere I would normally go on my ATV. The low center of gravity gained by putting the motor behind the seat instead of under it provides greater stability than many of the other side-x-sides in its class. That design also keeps its overall height more comparable to that of an ATV allowing it to go under more obstacles out on the trail, while still allowing for great ground clearance. The relative low weight of the RZR coupled with its powerful big bore 800 EFI Engine gives it the “oomph” to tackle even the most challenging trails. Perfect Combination From that day forward, the RZR and the OHV Tour for a Cure have worked together seamlessly to increase positive awareness about the off-road community and to raise funds for some great cancer-related charities. Furthermore, since people often associate the color pink with cancer research, this new LE version with the Passion Pink Graphics Kit leaves nothing to be desired.

As Always, remember to TREAD lightly and always leave the trail better than you found it.
