Powersports Parts and Accessories
2018 SEMA Show New Product Offerings for Motorcycles, UTVs and More
Traditionally dominated by motorcycles, the powersports segment is expanding dynamically, thanks to the explosive popularity of side-by-sides, aka utility task vehicles (UTVs). The latter have brought off-roading enjoyment to a mostly family-oriented audience that eyes modifications focused on utility, performance and safety. But whatever the vehicle of choice, there were 416 powersports-related items showcased at the 2018 SEMA Show to cover them all. They ran the gamut from engine performance and suspension enhancements to batteries, towing and recovery gear, and appearance accessories. Given that the powersports category has tremendous crossover to other Show segments, such as mobile electronics (think sound systems and lighting) and trucks, SUVs and off-roading, the following pages represent a glimpse into the many opportunities available for growing your business.

It is constructed of aluminum to save weight. 951-339-1460 |  |
AAC The JK Slider Step is a unique add-on step intended to mount directly to the Jeep JK Rubicon factory rock slider.
