The Bureau of Land Management is once again reviewing off-highway vehicle route designations across portions of Central Utah, reopening debate over access in two of the state’s most iconic backcountry regions: the San Rafael Swell and the San Rafael Desert. The agency announced this week that it is seeking public comment on whether certain routes currently marked as closed or limited should be reopened to motorized use. The move could impact hundreds of miles of trails across the red rock landscapes surrounding Green River, Emery County, and the greater San Rafael Recreation Area. For UTV and OHV enthusiasts, the reassessment represents one of the most significant public land access discussions in Utah in recent years. OHV Exploring in the San Rafael Swell What the BLM Is Considering According to the BLM, officials are reevaluating approximately 226 miles of routes within the San Rafael Swell Travel Management Area that were previously designated as closed or limited to OHV use. Another 20 miles of routes in the San Rafael Desert are also under reconsideration. The agency emphasized that all current route designations remain in effect during the reassessment process. No trails have been reopened yet, but the new review could eventually lead to amendments to existing travel management plans. The San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan, finalized in late 2024, designated approximately: 1,355 miles of routes open to OHV travel 141 miles limited to certain vehicle types or uses 665 miles closed to OHVs Meanwhile, the San Rafael Desert plan currently includes roughly: 600 miles open to OHV use 47 miles limited 534 miles closed The reassessment follows continued pressure from counties, OHV advocacy groups, and lawsuits challenging portions of the original travel management decisions. Why the San Rafael Swell Matters The San Rafael Swell is one of Utah’s premier off-road destinations, stretching across more than a million acres of rugged canyon country between Green River and Hanksville. Known for towering sandstone cliffs, winding washes, mining roads, and remote desert scenery, the area has long been a favorite for UTV exploration, overlanding, rock crawling, camping, and adventure travel. Popular routes throughout the region provide access to areas like Eagle Canyon, Devils Racetrack, Fix-It Pass, Behind the Reef Road, and countless remote overlooks and historic mining sites. The area also contains sensitive cultural resources, wildlife habitat, wilderness study areas, and fragile desert ecosystems, making route management especially controversial. Interstate 70 cuts directly through the Swell, offering easy access to one of the most visually dramatic landscapes in the West. YAMAHA RMAX 4 1000 REVIEW OHV Advocates Push for Reopening Routes Organizations supporting motorized recreation say many of the closures removed long-used access routes that connected trail systems, campsites, and recreational destinations. Groups including the BlueRibbon Coalition and the Utah Public Lands Alliance argue that some closures affected roads that had been responsibly used for decades. Advocacy groups are encouraging riders to submit detailed comments identifying specific route numbers, historic use, recreational value, and access concerns. They argue that public participation could heavily influence whether routes are eventually reopened. Public Comment Period Open Through June 8 The BLM is accepting public comments through June 8, 2026. Riders, landowners, recreation groups, conservation organizations, and local communities can submit comments through the agency’s online ePlanning portals or by mail. Officials specifically requested route-specific comments whenever possible, including trail numbers and details regarding access needs, recreation opportunities, or resource concerns. For Utah’s off-road community, the outcome could shape future access throughout one of the most important OHV regions in the Southwest. Whether you ride a UTV, dirt bike, ATV, or full-size 4×4, the reassessment could determine which routes remain accessible for years to come.

St. George, UT — SSV Works, The Original UTV Audio Brand, proudly announces the release of its all-new Plug-&-Play 10” Subwoofer Add-On Kits for the 2026 Can-Am Defender HD11, now available in both single (DF11-1VTD) and dual (DF11-2VTD) configurations. Designed specifically for the HD11 platform, these kits deliver the deep, hard-hitting bass that factory audio systems are missing, without sacrificing factory fit or functionality. Built for seamless integration, each kit features a vehicle-specific, ported enclosure engineered to mount cleanly under the passenger-side front or rear seat. This design not only preserves valuable cabin space, but also maintains a true factory-style fit and finish, making it ideal for both end users and dealers looking to upgrade showroom units. Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits Many subwoofer options on the market for the HD11 require cutting into the vehicle’s floor to install. SSV Works eliminates that entirely with a 100% plug-&-play solution, utilizing factory mounting locations and integrated wiring for a straightforward installation. The result is a clean, secure fit with no guesswork and no compromise. At the heart of each system is SSV Works’ 10” subwoofer, paired with a precisely tuned ported enclosure to maximize low-frequency output and efficiency. This combination delivers more air movement, more impact, and a fuller low end, even in demanding off-road environments. Whether customers choose the single or dual sub configuration, they can expect a dramatic improvement in bass response that can be felt as much as heard. Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits The dual subwoofer kit (DF11-2VTD) is designed for those who want to take their system even further, doubling the output and delivering a true high-performance bass experience. Both kits include the necessary amplifier and wiring for a complete, integrated solution. “The HD11 platform is a huge opportunity, but the factory audio leaves a lot on the table when it comes to bass,” said Kelson Downes, Marketing Director of SSV Works. “We built these kits to fix that the right way, with a true plug-&-play solution that delivers real low-end performance without cutting up the vehicle or complicating the install. Whether it’s a single or dual setup, this is the kind of bass customers expect when they upgrade.” Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits In addition to performance and ease of installation, SSV Works continues to set itself apart with its Limited Lifetime Warranty on enclosures and speakers, giving dealers and customers confidence in long-term durability and reliability. Built to handle dust, water, vibration, and extreme riding conditions, these subwoofer kits are engineered to perform on any trail.

Off-roading to Kelly Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most remote and rewarding adventures you can take from St. George. Unlike the well-traveled overlooks inside the national park, Kelly Point sits deep within the rugged Arizona Strip—a massive, isolated region defined by deep sand, volcanic rock, and endless desert horizons. This is not a quick scenic drive; it’s a full-day (or better overnight camping) expedition where the journey is every bit as memorable as the destination. The Journey: Distance, Fuel, and Preparation A round trip from the SR7 and River Road area in St. George clocks in at roughly 214 miles, making fuel planning absolutely critical. Most UTVs will require auxiliary fuel to make the trip. Cell service is virtually nonexistent once you leave the pavement, so this is not a ride to take lightly. Traveling with at least one additional vehicle is strongly recommended, along with tools, spare parts, recovery gear, and a reliable GPS navigation system. This is classic Arizona Strip riding—remote, unforgiving, and incredibly scenic. Route Overview: Simple but Remote The route itself is straightforward, even if the terrain can be demanding: Start at SR7 and River Road Take County Highway 5 for approximately 38 miles Turn onto BLM Road 103 and continue for another 42 miles to the park boundary Once you reach the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park, regulations change. Only street-legal vehicles are permitted beyond this point, so plan accordingly if you’re bringing a UTV. Park Boundary From here, the route transitions to NPS1203, beginning near Mt. Dellenbaugh where Mohave County Road 103 meets the park boundary. It’s about 26 miles one-way from the boundary to Kelly Point, and this is where the trail becomes more technical. Trail Conditions: Where It Gets Interesting While the initial sections of the route are relatively fast and flowing, conditions change notably as you pass Waring Ranch. The road becomes rougher, slower, and more rutted, with sections of sand and rock that demand careful driving. In a capable side-by-side like the Polaris RZR XP S 4 Ultimate 2026, the terrain is very manageable, but speeds drop significantly. Expect a slower, more technical crawl as you approach the point—this is not a place to rush. The Destination: Kelly Point Kelly Point delivers one of the most dramatic and least crowded views anywhere along the Grand Canyon. From the edge, you’ll look straight down thousands of feet to the Colorado River, with sweeping views that rival any overlook in the park—without the crowds, guardrails, or infrastructure. The sense of isolation here is unmatched. You’re standing on the edge of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, yet chances are you won’t see another person. Camping and Alternate Routes Camping is permitted in the area, making it an excellent overnight destination. Be sure to check current regulations and guidelines through the National Park Service before your trip. There are also multiple ways to access NPS1203 depending on your starting point and preferences, allowing for loop routes or extended exploration across the Arizona Strip. This flexibility makes Kelly Point an ideal anchor for a longer backcountry adventure. Final Thoughts Kelly Point isn’t just another trail ride—it’s a commitment. The distance, isolation, and terrain demand respect, but for those who come prepared, it delivers an unforgettable off-road experience. From deep desert sand to one of the most jaw-dropping overlooks in the Southwest, this route perfectly captures what makes UTV exploration so rewarding. 2026 Polaris RZR XP S Sport The post Ride Spot: Kelly Point – North Rim of the Grand Canyon appeared first on UTV Guide.

Can‐Am, is proud to celebrate Kyle Chaney’s hard-fought win at the Silver State 300, the third round of the American Off-Road Racing Championship (AORC) Series. After 5 hours of racing, only 53 seconds separated all three drivers on the podium. The racing was nothing short of epic. Kyle kept his pace on the extremely fast, brand new course, the entire race and relied heavily on his navigator Sadyiie Gray to make sure he didn’t miss any of his marks. The end result was pure poetry in motion. Kyle Chaney’s Feelings on his Triumphant win at the Silver State 300. “This is my first Silver State 300 and we stayed on pace all day – it was a fun and tight race. We saw the dust ahead of us and we just pushed as hard as we could, and we didn’t want to make any mistakes -but Saydiie was precise on her notes and so it made me comfortable knowing I could push – it made it super easy to drive the day with a good navigator. The Can-Am Maverick R was good all day. Silver State 300 is a fast track that’s hard to make up time on, so we kept up the pace with a racer ahead of us, and caught up to him so we knew we had him beat. Really happy with our win, and looking forward to coming back to the Legends Rally this summer. I want to thank Can-Am, Amsoil, Progressive, Maxxis, Raceline Wheels, Factory UTV, and my crew – I just want to thank everyone for getting me here.” Across more than five hours of racing, Can-Am drivers demonstrated consistency, durability, and race-winning performance. When the dust settled in Tonopah, NV, six Can-Am drivers and their navigators filled out the top ten positions. Phil Blurton continues to lead the 2026 UTV Pro AORC standings, and Can‐Am leaves the Silver State 300 with good momentum moving into the next race.

Tucked away on the remote Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon, Gunsight Point is one of the most underrated viewpoints in the Southwest. Unlike the crowded overlooks along the South Rim, this destination delivers a raw, untouched experience—one where you’re just as likely to hear the wind and ravens as you are to see another person. A Remote Overlook with Big-Time Views Gunsight Point sits on a high cliff edge in Coconino County, offering sweeping views into the canyon system carved by Kanab Creek and its tributaries. From this vantage point, you can look down on the dramatic meeting of Snake Gulch and Kanab Creek—two major drainage systems that eventually feed into the Colorado River deep within the canyon. View looking south towards the Grand Canyon from GunSight Point The perspective here is unique. Instead of the classic wide-open Grand Canyon panorama, Gunsight Point gives you a more intimate look into side canyons—steep, layered walls dropping thousands of feet into a maze of red rock and shadow. The contrast between desert plateaus above and the rugged canyon below is striking, especially during sunrise and sunset when the rock layers glow with deep reds and golds. Solitude You Can’t Find on the Rim One of Gunsight Point’s biggest draws is its isolation. While millions visit the Grand Canyon each year, very few make it out to this overlook. There are no guardrails, no visitor centers, and no entrance fees—just open land and uninterrupted views. Looking up Snake Gultch That solitude makes it feel like your own private overlook. It’s not uncommon to spend hours here without seeing another vehicle, making it a perfect spot for photography, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the scale of the canyon without distractions. Looking up Kanab Creek towards Kanab, UT Getting There: A True Backcountry Adventure Reaching Gunsight Point is part of the experience. The route typically begins near Kanab or Fredonia, heading south toward the Arizona Strip before turning onto a network of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roads. The main route—often referred to as Gunsight Point Road—runs roughly 16 miles one way across open desert terrain. The road is generally considered moderate (around a 3/10 difficulty rating), but conditions can vary with weather. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles or UTVs can make the trip, but mud after storms can quickly change that. This is classic Arizona Strip terrain: wide open spaces, juniper-dotted plains, and distant views of the Kaibab Plateau rising to the south. You can find the route to Gunsight Point on OnX Offroad.

SAN MARCOS, CA April 28, 2026 -Baja Designs, the leader in high-performance off-road lighting, announces the launch of the Squadron 2.0, the next evolution of their classic compact LED light pod. Available in both Pro and Sport configurations, the Squadron 2.0 marks a generational leap over the original with dramatic performance gains, next-generation optics, and a ground-up redesign engineered for the demands of serious off-road use delivering up to 73% increase in reach in light over previous generation. Complete redesign The Squadron 2.0 was engineered from the ground up, drawing inspiration from the iconic Squadron and taking it to the next level through aesthetics, performance, and usability. The Squadron 2.0 Sport features an aggressive look, Hex Beam optics, selectable backlight, and a new bracket design for increased vertical adjustability for precise aiming. Updated uService® components include clip-in reflectors that stay secure during lens swaps and a new gasket design that improves sealing and long-term protection from the elements. A rugged 4-pin Deutsch-style connector replaces the previous standard for enhanced durability. Every detail has been upgraded while maintaining the proven reliability that defines Baja Designs. Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 Performance The Squadron 2.0 Sport delivers 3,200 lumens, while the Pro throws 5,921 lumens down the road, which is more than the previous generation Squadron Racer, which was designed exclusively for high-speed desert racing, a 41% increase in output over its predecessor. Both configurations run on 12–36V systems and are available in harness and non-harness pair options. Performance is validated through Baja Designs’ Effective Lighting Score (ELS), a four-part evaluation measuring real-world light quality beyond raw lumens and distance claims. The Squadron 2.0 scores higher across the board than its predecessor, delivering a smoother, more even beam that reduces eye strain and driver fatigue on long night runs. Lens Patterns Lens Pattern The Squadron 2.0 expands lens options through Baja Designs’ proprietary ClearView® optics system to illuminate specific lighting zones. Choose from Wide Cornering, Combo, Spot, Work/Scene, and 90-degree patterns, each available in Clear, Baja Amber, and Factory Amber, giving drivers full control over beam shape and light color for any condition. An improved uService® gasket system makes swapping lenses on the fly faster and easier than ever. Selectable Backlighting Selectable Backlighting The Squadron 2.0 features an integrated 9-color selectable backlight. Drivers can toggle between red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, amber, yellow, pink, and white, all configurable through the included harness. Color settings are retained when the light is powered off, so your setup is always ready when you are.

One of the most anticipated high-performance UTVs in the last couple of years has been the CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10. It’s CFMOTO’s first turbocharged UTV. We actually got a quick track test of an early prototype version of this machine nearly two years ago and have been begging for more seat time. This month, as production units hit dealers, CFMOTO gave us the key fob and let us rip the new unit across the Arizona desert for a slightly longer test of around 40 miles. HOW DOES THE PRICE COMPARE? There is only one other machine that directly compares to the Z10 at $19,999, not only in price but in suspension and horsepower too, Can-Am’s Maverick X3 DS. At the Polaris dealer, $19,999 will get you a non-turbo RZR. You‘ll have to bust out another $5K to get the comparable RZR Pro XP, or if 20K is all you have, you won’t get a turbo from Polaris. WHAT POWERS THE Z10 A triple cylinder engine very similar to Can-Am’s X3 powerplant. However, the Z10 engine is a 998cc instead of 900cc’s in the Can-Am. The tune CFMOTO uses churns out 154 horsepower. Can-Am has different tunes for their triple depending on the model. The base X3 has 135 while the RR model has a full 200. We bet before you get done reading this, some aftermarket company, such as EVP, will have a 200+ tune for the Z10. Until then, you can check out our comparison spec chart to see how the Z10 compares to the RZR Pro XP and the X3 in power-to-weight numbers, and it is close. IS IT FAST Two things make it feel fast: the low seat height and ITP Terra Hook tires, giving it great traction. In fact, these are about the most aggressive tires you will find on a sport machine. I feel they offer twice as much traction as the Maxxis Carnivore or Carnage tires that come on a majority of machines. You can choose between three power modes to get you down the trail. They all feel fast; they just come on a little differently. When you stab the throttle in Sport, you have a noticeable turbo lag, then you get forced back into the seat as the car launches forward. In Sport, you get a nice turbo blow off tone, whereas in comfort mode, it’s much quieter and there’s no blow of noise. That’s a complaint we have on the Kawasaki H2; it’s loud even when cruising around at a leisurely pace. The Z10’s exhaust is very quiet, and you don’t hear any noise coming from the big radiator intake scoop between the passenger’s heads except for a little clutch backlash. We weren’t able to find the Z10’s top speed as our test loop didn’t have any long, straight trails. We did reach 70MPH, and it felt like there was a lot more in reserve. Plus, there’s no doubt the 154 horses could handle a taller 32-35 inch tire. The Z10 will be a blast to drive in the dunes. All of its power will be better utilized in the dunes, plus its low seat height will help too. HOW ABOUT SUSPENSION A similar A-arm suspension setup to the X3 is found up front, offering a claimed 17 inches of travel controlled by a 2.5 Fox QSE shock and a swaybar. Out back, a trailing-arm system is used with two radius rods, a toe link, and a second swaybar control 20 inches of movement. All four corners have preload adjustability and electronically controlled compression. The test loop CFMOTO had us on wasn’t very rough, but there were a couple of G-Outs and wash ledges we could hit. The suspension feels good for a 64-inch wide machine. The swaybars are stiff, so there is very little body roll. You could definitely notice the suspension changes when you toggled from soft, medium, and hard. Plus, the toggle was super easy to reach on the steering wheel. While there is no full firm panic button like on the RZR, you can customize the medium setting to add or remove compression from it. DOES IT HANDLE WELL? It does corner well with very little body roll. Although engine braking in high is non-existent, the dual piston calipers on all four corners do an excellent job of slowing the machine down quickly. Again, those grippy ITP TerraHook tires can take some of the credit. There are four different power steering sensitivity levels you can choose from, but I preferred the minimum. In that setting, the steering was light and offered just the right amount of feedback. Its wheelbase sits right in between that of the RZR XP and the X3 and feels perfect. WHAT FEATURES DOES IT HAVE The cockpit is full of features. The driver gets a larger instrument panel behind the steering wheel, while a second infotainment screen is in the center of the dash. That 12.3 screen features Apple CarPlay and mirrors to CFMOTO’S own RideSync App. It can show vehicle stats like miles driven, fuel levels, maintenance schedules, and vehicle location. There were audio controls, but our test unit didn’t have any speakers. A backup camera is standard, but there are no mirrors. Our test machine had an aftermarket set. The seats are full suspension seats with removable cushions for easy cleaning, and the driver’s side is adjustable. CFMOTO includes a winch and front bumper standard, however, not a roof. For traction, the Z10 relies on 8-ply ITP TerraHook tires sized in a square setup with 30×10-14’s on all four corners. Those tires are sitting on 5-lug wheels; the hubs behind them are the automotive-style unitized hubs just like Polaris has gone to on its high-end machines. IS IT STRONG? The ROPS is made from two-inch steel and has a lot more cross-bracing and support than its competition. The C-Pillars out back are more than just fender supports; they are tied into the chassis. We can’t confirm yet if it’s race legal, but it’s close. There are provisions for harnesses, such as pass-through seats, but the Z10 comes with a three-point automotive-style seatbelt for now. INITIAL THOUGHTS Although our desert test was short, we came away impressed with the fit and finish, power, and comfort. Power-wise, we think it will keep up with the X3 or RZR Pro XP no problem. We loved the dual glove boxes, and since the radiator is rear-mounted, there was no excessive cabin heat. Visuals out of it were not as good as a RZR or a KRX, but certainly better than the X3. The seats were comfortable, the doors closed tightly, and the steering wheel had good placement. Suspension felt as it might have been restricted by stiff swaybars. However, they help in cornering. We were running high tire pressure as well. We hit a few rocks with the skid plates and cracked a rear section of the hard plastic skid, and a front section also failed after a high-speed nose dive. Thicker skids would help, as would a tad more ground clearance. However, until then, the Z10 is a solid product out of the gate. We can’t wait to see what the aftermarket can do with it and where we can drive it next. We definitely need more seat time to give it a full seal of approval.

KAWASAKI PATENT SHOWS HVAC SYSTEM FOR NEW MULE It looks like one of our favorite Mules in the lineup, the Pro-FXT might be getting an upgrade. The patent centers around a front-mounted air blower that sends air into the cabin, plus a duct system that carries that airflow to the rear half of the cab. WHY PUT THE DUCT ON TOP OF THE TUNNEL? The filing shows the center floor tunnel being used efficiently. Refrigerant plumbing can run through the tunnel itself, while the air duct sits above it. Kawasaki also shapes that upper duct section so it can function like part of the floor area, with details aimed at helping passenger movement and footing. That tells us this isn’t just a crude tube stuck in the middle of the cab. The company is clearly thinking about how people climb in, where their feet go, and how to keep the HVAC packaging from becoming a nuisance in the compact machine. WHY THIS MATTERS Anyone who has spent time in an enclosed off-road machine knows that front-seat climate control is one thing, but keeping the whole cabin comfortable is another. Rear-seat airflow can be a weak point, especially in vehicles that have to balance durability, serviceability, and cabin room. This patent shows Kawasaki working on a system that aims to improve rear-cabin comfort without giving up the rugged underbody layout an off-road machine needs. That doesn’t guarantee production, and it doesn’t confirm the exact model, but it absolutely shows that Kawasaki is thinking hard about HVAC packaging for the Mule utility platform and not just the Ridge.

Mesquite to Caliente UTV Adventure Ride – Hosted by UTV Offroad Adventures An unforgettable 3-day, 2-night UTV ride through some of Nevada’s most dramatic and diverse terrain. We started in the vibrant desert city of Mesquite, Nevada, this guided adventure took us deep into canyons, across desert flats, over colorful mesas, and through cool pine forests as you rode toward the historic town of Caliente. We spent two nights in Caliente at the Shady Motel. Day 1 we left the Casa Blanca Resort and went up Policemans’ Wash. Made our way up the border of Nevada and Arizona before stopping at the Tri-State Monument. Ride Spot: Tri-State Monument Day 2 we ventured over to the historic mining town of Pioche and on the way we were treated by several groups of wild horses. We visited Boot HIll Cemetery and saw the mining tramway and the Million Dollar Courthouse. Then looped back to Caliente on a different route. Day 3 we made our way back to Mesquite, and on the way stopped at the Ella Mountain FIre Lookout at over 7,300 feet with an incredible 360 degree view! Ride Spot: Ella Mountain Fire Lookout This route was packed with trail variety — from high-speed desert washes to tight canyon trails and rugged mountain passes. Lots of varied terrain, scenery and history. We took our Yamaha RMAX4 on this trip, and with our new UTV Pro’s rear seat storage racks we had plenty of space for all of our gear. More details on our RMAX4 at the end of the vehicle.

Starlink Minis are becoming the must-have accessory for UTV drivers everywhere. No, it’s not so you can scroll the UTV Action Instagram page on the fly. We use it for safety; with it, we are never out of communication in case of a breakdown or other problem. Also, we use it to provide Wifi connectivity to mapping apps like oNX, so we can see up-to-the-minute trail data and track our other Starlink-equipped buddies who are riding with us. There’s also a new form of communication that allows you to use your cell phone in place of radio communication through an app called Zello. Connected to a Bluetooth helmet kit like Cardo, you can talk with anyone around the world at the push of a button. It seems like every month, we find a new reason to have a Starlink Mini along on every ride. Here are several ways to carry and get the most out of your Starlink Mini. 1 ADVENTURE LAB $109.95 This one is great for those guys already utilizing Milwaukee’s Packout storage boxes. The Adventure Labs product is an aluminum cage that fits around your Starlink Mini and clamps to the lid of any Milwaukee Packout box. Optional black powder coat is available for $20 and the mount is lockable. Contact: www.americanadventurelab.com…(385) 202-4188 2 AMAZON $49.98 The cheap Amazon quick-release mount is what we use since we jump from car to car so often. It works exactly like a quick release fire extinguisher mount does. The small slots in the frame allow you to use hose clamps to attach it to any roll cage. The other side is a plastic wedge that clicks into your mini, leaving room for power cables. Savage UTV sells one like this with a stronger wedge, but it is twice the price. We have broken our cheap Amazon unit twice, so yes, we are in need of an upgrade. Contact: www.amazon.com 3 BE ALPHA PRINTS $55.00 If you’re looking to carry a StarLink Mini on the roof of your pickup, the Be Alpha Prints vehicle suction cup mount is the simplest solution. It attaches to windshields, sunroofs, or any smooth glass surface. Contact: www.bealphaprints.com 4 PCI MINI GO MOUNT $264.99 Here’s a convenient way to mount, power, and carry your Starlink Mini wherever you go. The bracket attaches to your vehicle’s roof with strong magnets connecting onto adhesive-backed metal plates (+$47) and is powered by an external battery (+$120), allowing for 6 hours of run time. Unfortunately, you can’t charge the battery as you are driving. So we would use the 12 Volt Power Cable while driving and plug the battery in while stopped. PCI has more permanent or race solutions as well. Contact: www.pciraceradios.com…(562) 427-8177 5 SAVAGE UTV ROOF TOP MOUNT $219.00 For a more permanent solution, Savage UTV’s roof mount gives you confidence to use your Starlink in rough terrain without worry. Savage sells magnet, quick-release, race, and full-sized Starlink mounting solutions as well. Contact: www.savageutv.com 6 STAR-BATT $1,000, $1,599 (airline compliant) The Star-Batt is basically a case and battery for your Starlink Mini that will provide enough power for 24 hours of light use and connectivity. Wifi works through the case lid, so there’s no need to open the lid unless outside temperatures go over 80 degrees, which can shut the unit off if the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees. You can also trickle charge the battery while you’re driving, then when you come to a stop and turn your engine off, the Starlink keeps running without interruptions for that full 24 hours. The battery and box measure 17”x13”x7”, weigh 27 pounds, and feature one USB and two USB-C ports to charge your other goodies. You can suction cup or ratchet strap it anywhere, or Can-Am owners can purchase the LinQ mount for another $65. Contact: www.star-batt.com 7 STARSTREAM $3600 The Stream Box will allow you to livestream your adventures straight to your own YouTube, Instagram, Facebook page, or a race promoter’s live feed. It works in conjunction with your Starlink Mini and includes both audio and video. The Star Stream teams offer great tech support to help you get up and streaming.
