How to Choose the Best Aftermarket ATV Fenders

Feb. 2, 2023

Aftermarket ATV fenders are a game-changer for riders who want to customize their quads, replace damaged stock parts, or enhance durability for rugged terrain.

Whether you're restoring a classic Yamaha Banshee or upgrading your Raptor, the right set of fenders can improve aesthetics, performance, and protection. Here’s what to consider when choosing the best aftermarket ATV fenders.

Aftermarket vs. OEM Fenders: What’s the Difference?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) fenders are designed to match the factory specifications of your ATV. They guarantee a perfect fit and factory-level quality but can be expensive and sometimes harder to find for older models.

Aftermarket fenders, on the other hand, offer more variety in colors, materials, and designs. They often come at a more budget-friendly price while providing equal or better durability.

The Yamaha Banshee is one of the most iconic sport ATVs, and aftermarket fenders allow owners to restore or customize their machines.

Since OEM Banshee fenders are increasingly rare, high-quality aftermarket options provide a reliable alternative. They also come in various colors and graphics to match different styles.

Vito’s has hundreds of aftermarket Banshee fenders to choose from in every color of the rainbow. Here are some of our top sellers:

What Qualities to Consider with Aftermarket Fenders

The key is selecting high-quality aftermarket fenders from reputable brands to ensure long-lasting performance.

Some qualities to look for in aftermarket ATV fenders include:

Material Durability: Fenders take a beating on the trails, so material quality is essential. Most aftermarket fenders are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, which offer impact resistance and flexibility. Look for UV-resistant materials to prevent fading and cracking over time.

Fit and Compatibility: Not all fenders fit every model. Always check whether the fender set is specifically designed for your ATV make and model. Many aftermarket fenders come pre-drilled for easy installation, but some may require minor modifications.

Design and Aesthetic Appeal: If you're going for a custom look, aftermarket fenders offer a wide range of colors and styles. Whether you want classic OEM-style replacements or bold racing designs, choose a set that complements your ATV’s overall look.

Coverage and Protection: Fenders protect your ATV and rider from mud, water, and debris. If you ride in muddy conditions, opt for extended fender flares for extra protection. Some aftermarket fenders also feature reinforced edges to prevent cracking from impacts.

Ease of Installation: Some fenders require professional installation, while others are designed for easy DIY mounting. Check whether they come with the necessary hardware and installation guides to ensure a smooth setup.

Choosing Fenders Wisely

Choosing the right aftermarket ATV fenders depends on durability, fit, protection, and style.

Whether you’re upgrading your Yamaha Banshee or another quad, selecting high-quality fenders ensures long-term performance and aesthetics.
