UTV SEATBELT UPGRADES

By the staff of Dirt Wheels

 

UTV SEATBELT UPGRADES

Like all of you, we drive UTVs for fun, sport, and adventure, but safety is our number one priority, especially in today’s powerful UTVs. The stock seat belts are easy and convenient, and they encourage drivers to use them at all times and will help keep riders in their seats as the result of a roll-over.

OE seat belts do allow the riders to shift around in the cab. That doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it can become a nuisance during a long ride or those times when we feel like Parnelli Jones. However, with a good set of harnesses for the driver and passengers, you will be more secure, safer and it will help you drive the machine with greater precision.

So, for those who want more safety and to be more secure in the cab, here’s a list of great harnesses to choose from. Whether you want a full race harness or just a standard four-point harness, we have something for everyone. Some models may need an additional roll-cage bar for mounting and possibly a seatbelt bypass plug. Please check with these fine companies to find answers for your specific machine before purchasing.

The SFI Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for the quality assurance of specialty performance and racing equipment, and many belts are SFI certified. An SFI certification means the belts have been tested to make sure they meet current safety standards.
