Bigger braking power means more horsepower!! Here’s how you get it. Long story short, as the horsepower ability goes up, your braking ability doesn’t. When you are tackling through trails, dunes, and deserts, your side-by-side can quickly approach high levels of horsepower, and brakes easily are overlooked when building a fast ride. But brakes are critical to how your side-by-side performs when you are flying through those trails. When you upgrade your factory brakes to an agency-powered brake kit, you can start tuning for those big numbers and have a peace of mind for your braking performance. The big brake system has three major components. Calipers, rotors, and brake pads. Large two-piece cast iron vented rotors can allow a better heat dissipation and a direct bolt-on upgrade that you can feel the difference right away. Are you convinced that you want to add an agency-powered big brake kit to your side-by-side? Comment BRAKE below! #vividracing #offroad #sxs #agencypower #utvparts

Alright, everyone, buckle up and hold tight – we’re talking vehicle hand/foot controls. Yes, the very thing standing between you and a catastrophic collision is a glorified pedal and some often underappreciated buttons. Let's dive, shall we? • Steering wheels: Because why on earth would we use something intuitive when wrestling a large circle can keep us entertained? • Gas pedals: Think of them as a direct link to both your adrenaline rush and your mechanic’s paycheck. • Brake pedals: These underrated heroes are the only thing between you and your chiropractor. They deserve a medal but settle for your foot abuse. Now, let’s get philosophical. Why trust our precious existence to plastic and metal foot pads? Simple, we’re daring like that! Picture this: mastering hand/foot controls is the closest most of us get to a real power trip – commanding a multi-ton beast with intricate taps and pushes. It’s almost poetic. The controls in our vehicles are a testament to human ingenuity, bravery, and a touch of insanity. They make the open road our canvas, even if sometimes that canvas includes potholes and traffic jams.
