Why Buy an Amphibious UTV?

When people say “all-terrain”, it is usually with the understanding that water is the exception. You can go through the mud in your side-by-side with the right modifications, but actually going on the water sounds a bit ridiculous. In fact, there are several models of amphibious UTVs on the market today. Learn more about these fascinating vehicles with this guide from LeMond’s Motorsports. 

Where Can it Go?

Amphibious UTVs perhaps come the closest of all four-wheelers to being truly “all-terrain”. With tires that can also function as paddles and bilge pumps to do the bailing for you, they are surprisingly well adapted to being driven on the water. Of course, neither of these features would do much good if water found its way into the engine, so amphibious UTVs are built to be waterproofed. 

None of these special features prevent amphibious side-by-sides from tackling land terrain either, whether it is mud, dirt, or snow. In fact, in some cases, they actually make land riding better. The extensive waterproofing means that you don’t have to install any special packages in order to take an amphibious UTV mudding. The special tires allow for a lower tire pressure without compromising fuel efficiency, making them some of the smoothest riding UTVs on the market. 

How to Use It

One of the biggest selling points for amphibious UTVs is that they are more versatile because they can be driven on both land and water. This is great for trail riders, but many other kinds of people have found a use for them as well. The added versatility makes amphibious side-by-sides a popular choice for utility work. They are popular for hunting and camping as well as fishing. Simply drive into the water, cast a line, and drive out again when you’re done!
