What to look out for when buying UTV Heat Shields?
When it comes to UTV performance and rider comfort, heat management plays a crucial role. The exhaust system in a UTV generates intense heat that can have adverse effects on the surrounding components and rider experience. That's where UTV heat shields come into the picture. In this blog post, we will discuss why riders need UTV heat shields and explore the various types of products available in this category.
Why Do You Need UTV Heat Shields?
Too much heat generated from your exhaust can actually end up damaging other nearby components of your UTV. Not to mention, excess exhaust heat can make the adventure too hot and uncomfortable for you and your riders. Heat shields protect against this damage by reducing the heat transfer, increasing the longevity of your vehicle and all its sensitive parts, and it stops the cabin from getting overheated from the exhaust.
Types of UTV Heat Shields
Exhaust Shields: These shields are designed to cover and protect the exhaust system. Made of aluminum or stainless steel, they are heat-resistant and made to fit your specific UTV model. Exhaust shields effectively block heat radiating from the exhaust pipe, minimizing the risk of heat-related damage to nearby components.
Heat Reflective Shields: These shields can be placed in several different areas of your vehicle, not just your exhaust system, and are made to deflect heat away from unwanted areas like the cabin. They are made of materials high in thermal reflective qualities, like aluminum or ceramic coatings. These shields are easy to install and can be placed in strategic locations to redirect heat away from critical components and rider areas.
Underseat Shields: These shields protect the seats and the underside of the UTV from too much heat. They act as a barrier between the exhaust system and the seat to protect riders from the heat.
Heat Barrier Tapes: Heat barrier tapes are adhesive-backed tapes that are easy to install. They can be placed in areas of your choosing to protect against heat. They are often used to insulate wiring harnesses or fuel lines.
