ATV buyer’s guide 2025-26

Although several ATV manufacturers are promising significant range updates and additions for next year, there are comparatively few new models in this year’s Ultimate Guide to ATVs.
Most suppliers have increased prices, and availability has almost returned to normal after supplies from US and Far East manufacturing plants were severely impacted during and immediately after the Covid pandemic.

New vehicle shortages during that period have had an ongoing effect, as owners were forced to keep their machines for longer before updating.
This resulted in peaks and troughs in supply and demand rather than the relatively constant sales volumes the industry was used to.
All new model additions are petrol and there are no diesel models listed currently; Powerland and Eco-Rider both maintain their exclusively electric line-ups.

Built in China, imported to the UK by Boss ORV and displayed for the first time at Lamma 2025, the Aodes ATV line-up includes four PathCross-series models with 496cc, 649cc and 976cc engines.
The PathCross 650 S is powered by a four-stroke, V-twin petrol engine, which runs through a CVT with shaft drive to the wheels.
Suspension is provided by independent double A-arm with adjustable shock absorbers, and rack capacities are 34kg on the front and 70kg on the rear.
Can-Am
Can-Am has added three new Outlander 850 models this year. Two are Max versions, with a longer wheelbase and convertible extended rack/passenger seat, and the other has a standard wheelbase and single seat.
One Max variant and the standard length machine are both T (road legal) models that also come with ABS.
Also new to the range are the 82hp Max Pro XU HD8 T and 101hp Max Pro XU HD10 T. The XU designation signifies tri-mode power steering, uprated suspension and more aggressive tyres.
Other range updates include all 1000R models which now have up to 101hp available, increased from 90 and 91hp before.

Honda
Even though most green models have been removed from Honda’s standard ATV line-up and price lists, buyers of brand-new Fourtrax and Foreman machines will have access to more models in this sage colourway going forwards.
A new Honda initiative will see most models arrive from the factory in standard Honda red, but buyers will be able to specify a green panel option, with kits supplied and fitted in place of the red panels by the company’s authorised dealers.
Costs for the new service, which starts later this year, are yet to be confirmed.
Kawasaki
For an £850 +VAT premium, an additional SE version of the Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS Camo comes with a powerful winch, handguards and front brush guards on top of the standard model specification.
TGB
Updates to the TGB line-up include the Blade 600 LTX Premium and the Blade 1000 LTX Premium, which replace the Blade 600 LTX and Blade 1000 LTX.
The premium models feature a new TFT information display that links to smartphones by Bluetooth, and which also allows users to set a speed warning.
Extra safety is provided by new rear LEDs with direction indicators that utilise the whole rear light.
New styling, including uprated alloy wheel rims and colours, also features.
