The SxS market is full of companies and vendors passing on misleading and false information about products ” YOU MUST HAVE” to go trail ride…. according to them!
Seriously….do you really think that after spending $15,000 to $50,000 on a machine that if you don’t buy there product you can’t go ride ?????
You really only need (not mandatory) a few items…..in my opinion.
- First Aid Kit
- Fire Extinguisher
- Spare Tire or Tube
- Tire Repair Kit + Small Air Compressor
- Jack + Tools to change tire
THAT’S IT !!!!!!!
None of these items are mandatory, you don’t need them to ride. Plenty of people out there ride without them. I don’t recommend riding without them…..but people still do!
For sure there a bonus to have and will absolutely get you out of a jam out on the trail.
My advice ….. go ride, you will figure out what you need and what you you want after a few rides. Riding with a group also helps. Seasoned riders/owners are a great source of information.
Go Ride …..
Go Prepared …..
