The Sand Sports Super Show brings together the best people and companies in the sand industry. From sand car manufacturers, to engine builders and UTV accessories—you’re bound to find something for your ride. We set out to find new and innovative products from the show, and boy did we find them. It’s exciting times for UTV owners and the off-road industry. There is such great aftermarket support that it’s extremely easy to customize and convert your side-by-side into a really cool, fast ride. The best part: most of this stuff is bolt-on and can be done in your very own garage.

Here are our Top 10 picks from the 18th annual San Sports Super Show.

Nikola Electric UTV

We came across this interesting electric powered UTV from Nikola Motor Company. The Nikola Zero is made in the USA and is 100% electric, with up to a 200-mile range. Nikola claims their 4x4 UTV has a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds—unheard of for the UTV/side-by-side segment. It also has massive power with a claimed 520 horsepower and 476 lb-ft of torque. That's over three times the power of the current leading UTV, the Polaris RZR 1000 Turbo, which is rated at 144 hp and 105 lb-ft or torque. If that wasn't enough, the four-seater also delivers 20 inches of wheel travel thanks to its independent suspension design that runs Fox coiler shocks.

Nikola Motor Company takes things a step further by making their Zero side-by-side completely waterproof, as the electric motors have a IP67 rating. We're told the Zero can be completely submerge in water and it still runs. Since it uses an independent electric motor for each wheel, there are no belts to slip or break. The Zero's electric motors run gears made for extreme use. We're told Nikola will be entering a Zero at the Nitto King of The Hammers UTV race in 2017.

Tensor DS Tire

As UTVs continue to push the limits, the need for larger and more durable off-road tires has become increasingly important. The guys at Method Race Wheels took note and launched a whole new brand of UTV tires made by off-roaders for off-roaders. Their newest offering, the Tensor DS (Desert Series), is made with the UTV racer in mind. The USA-made tire is a true 32” (32x10 R15) and is said to be the lightest race tire on the market weighing in at only 34.5 lbs. The Tensor DS features a new racing rubber compound that strikes a balance between durability and performance. The Tensor DS features an aggressive deep tread design pattern, which allows it to excel on multiple terrains, including sand, rocks and dirt. It also has a protective rib shoulder for added protection against punctures. The company says PJ Jones has logged over 1,500 race miles in both BITD Vegas to Reno and Baja with no flats or tire issues whatsoever. Learn more at http://www.tensortire.com/.

RIGID Chase Light

The Rigid Industries Chase rear-facing LED light adds safety and functionality to any UTV, rail, buggy, Jeep, or other off-road application by packing reverse, courtesy, strobe, running, and brake lights into a single compact package. A halo of powerful colored LEDs in red, amber, or blue around the perimeter of the aluminum housing can be used as a strobe (for racing and chase applications), running light, or third brake light.

The center portion of the Rigid Chase functions as a 715-lumen white light suitable for use as a reverse or area light, and there’s also a smaller downward-facing courtesy light for illuminating the cargo area.  The Rigid Chase LED light can be wired individually or in series.

HCR Racing XYZ Long-Travel Suspension

HCR Racing’s new long-travel suspension kit for Yamaha XYZ1000R is designed to add 4 additional inches of width per side over stock (8 inches total). This makes for a more stable ride with the added benefit of increased wheel travel. HCR's proprietary honeycomb boxed arms are built to withstand the beatings of rigorous off-road riding. Every external weld is an internal plate structured into the design. HCR kits run a 4130 heat-treated billet end instead of a tube, eliminating a potential weak point for the arm. Billet ball joint and spherical options are available for racing applications. Learn more at http://www.hcrracing.com/ .
