The Three Best UTV Trail Systems For Your E85-equipped UTV
March 23, 2018
A few weeks ago, we introduced our new line of E85 Flex Fuel kits for Powersport applications by showcasing what the PROFLEX Commander can do when outfitted on UTVs like the Polaris RZR, Can-Am Maverick, and Arctic Cat Wildcat. One of the best things about the side-by-side sport UTV explosion, and part of the reason we chose to release our PROFLEX Commander E85 Flex Fuel kit for UTVs, is how easy and accessible it makes off-roading and adventure driving tours to beginning off-roaders. Even experienced off-roaders love how much easier they are to live with than a full-size trail rig because of their relative simplicity and lower price tag. In the same way, the PROFLEX Commander E85 conversion kit for UTVs lets you add power and fun without any kind of major wrenching and maintains your ability to run gas any time you want to. The PROFLEX Commander UTV E85 kit is a simple plug-and-play kit that instantly gives you a 5-10% boost in performance when you’re running ethanol, and when the road gets soft, that can make all the difference. Like our automotive applications, once you install your PROFLEX Commander E85 Flex Fuel kit on your UTV, you're going to want to tackle the best roads and trails you can find. So we decided to put together a list of the top three places that we recommend taking your PROFLEX Commander E85-equipped side-by-side sport UTV for the most enjoyment and adventure. Whether you’re in a CanAm X3 Turbo, a Polaris RZR 1000, or a Yamaha YXZ1000R you’re bound to enjoy these outdoor places. Alpine Loop – Silverton, Ouray, and Lake City, Colorado This 65-mile loop in the San Juan mountains of southwestern Colorado is part of the National Scenic Byway System and is one of the most popular OHV trails in the country, and for good reason. Nestled among the mountain peaks, this public trail connects the towns of Silverton, Ouray, and Lake City through steep canyons and two high mountain passes over 12,000ft in elevation. Additionally, the entire area is blanketed with 19th-century mining ruins to explore on side hikes that provide an incredible sense of history. However, because of the altitude, these trails are only accessible between June and September, and you can expect rapidly changing weather conditions ranging from mid-70s and sun to 30s and hail. But you'll be rewarded for your perseverance with endless scenic vistas, lush flowering alpine landscapes, impressive history at every turn. https://www.codot.gov/travel/scenic-byways/scenic-byways/alpine-loop White Wash Sand Dunes - Moab, Utah Moab is famous for its breathtaking beauty and for hundreds of miles off-road and 4x4 trails that attract UTV owners from every corner of the globe. Whatever your skill level, from expert to novice, Moab has something for you. One of the more popular areas for UTV owners is White Wash Sand Dunes, located 48 miles northwest of Moab. More than just sand, this scenic landscape is populated with large cottonwood trees that make perfect places to stop for lunch or catch some shade, and in the east, is backed by dramatic red cliffs that provide a striking background for your adventure. When you've had enough of the dunes, access any one of the numerous dirt roads that snake through the area and make your way to nearby Green River or Crystal Geyser. http://www.discovermoab.com/atv.htm Hatfield-McCoy Trail System – Southern West Virginia The Hatfield-McCoy Trail System is comprised of hundreds of miles of off-road trails across six counties in southern West Virginia, right in the heart of the area where the Hatfield and McCoy clans fought their legendary feud.
