Brush up on these quick facts and features about different UTV parts and accessories before choosing the one that’s right for you.
You might think the need for UTV mirrors is a lot less compared to cars on the road since you might be the only UTV out there, but riders still need to have a clear line of visibility all around their vehicle. Just because there may not be other vehicles on your right and left sides, there are plenty of obstacles out there in the wild you’ll need to have a clear view of.
In most cases, no, UTV’s do not come with sideview or rearview mirrors. You can purchase many different styles, sizes, and qualities on the UTV aftermarket.
No one mirror fits all UTVs. The important part when shopping for UTV mirrors is knowing your roll bar size or shape. It sounds kind of crazy, but most UTV’s have different diameter roll cages and cross bars. Use a flexible tape measure and know your size. In the case of Polaris and Can Am, many of the roll bars have a profile and are not round, often referred to as “Pro-Fit”. Take note of both of these features on your UTV and shop based on that size or profile.
Side Mirrors: These attach to the sides of the UTV's roll cage or door frame and give you clear sight of the side of your vehicle and slightly behind, just as car side mirrors do.
Rearview Mirrors: Rearview mirrors are mounted at the center of the UTV's windshield or roll cage, providing a view of the rear. Some rearview mirrors have an anti-vibration feature that allows an off-road rider to more clearly see the reflected image even when facing extreme terrain.
Wide-Angle Mirrors: These are also known as panoramic mirrors and offer a wider view compared to regular mirrors. They are great for navigating wide-open areas or riding in dune or desert environments.
Convex Mirrors: Convex mirrors have a curved shape that expands the field of view. They provide a wider angle of vision and help eliminate blind spots. These are great for navigating tight trails.
Dual Sport Mirrors: The perfect combination of side and rear view mirrors, these can be adjusted to give visibility to both the sides and rear areas of your UTV.
