At 8 in the morning everything was ready for the start at the Twisted Trails Off-Road Park in Copemish. There were very good prizes from the sponsoring companies for the first places. With unique terrain, exciting courses and competition that spans all corners of the United States, enthusiasts rallied at the starting line to battle their opponents.

UTVs were designed for specific and complex tasks but they are increasingly used for recreation. Its initials derive from Utility Task Vehicle (utility task vehicle) although they are also known as “Side to side”. It is a type of transport that was especially designed to fulfill tasks that a conventional car could not perform. For example, traveling through difficult terrain with little room for maneuver.

although it is very common confusing a UTV with a quad, several differences separate them. The first and most notorious has to do with the instrument used to direct them: in a UTV controlled by a steering wheel and not a handlebar, as it happens with the quadricycle. That is why the UTV is more comfortable to drive and its handling will be more familiar to someone who only drives cars. UTVs also have engines with greater force (torque), which allows them to perform specific tasks or carry heavier loads. The other big difference is in security. UTVs feature a roll cage made of a tubular frame that protects occupants when the vehicle rolls over.
