#Quads

While racing isn’t typically our main focus, the fierce competition at the Wiseco John Penton GNCC competition captured our attention and compelled us to share it with you. Held at the iconic Sunday Creek Raceway in Ohio, this year's event showcased a thrilling battle for glory among top riders in all of their respective classes.

When you’re out on the trails, kicking up dirt and navigating the rough terrain, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of the ride. Somewhere between the dust and the grit, a question might cross your mind: do you really need those rock sliders on your ATV? They look rugged, sure, but are they essential for the ride, or just another piece of gear that sounds good in theory? Let’s dig a little deeper.

The Indianapolis Dealer Expo is the industry’s largest ATV trade show. Search around and you’ll find all the latest and greatest aftermarket accessories for ATVs and UTVs. It’s an off-road tuner’s paradise.

Instead of merely showing you their latest products by themselves, most of the aftermarket manufacturers instead choose to display their wares by incorporating them into the vehicles they are designed for. What this means is the Dealer Expo is a fantastic showcase for project quads.

We decided to compile a photo gallery of all the best sport quads, utility quads and side-by-sides we could find at the Expo. Some are actual race vehicles from events like the Baja 1000 or National ATV motocross championships, while others are brand new units outfitted with the cool products found at the show.

You’ll find a handful of photos after the jump, but for the Full Monty you’ll have to visit our photo gallery.
