UTV Dealer Support and Off-Road Community – Dirtbag Brands Southwest Tour

There’s no better way to understand UTV dealer support than to live it firsthand. At Dirtbag Brands, we believe strong dealer relationships and an active off-road community go hand in hand. That’s why we hit the road from Colorado to Arizona to visit our partners, meet riders, and see how real-world feedback drives better products and stronger connections across the UTV industry.

On the Road from Colorado to Phoenix

There’s no better way to understand UTV dealer support than to get out there and live it.
Last week, we hit the road from Colorado through Las Vegas, Lake Havasu, Bullhead City, and Parker, before finally rolling into Phoenix, Arizona. Every stop had a reason — to visit our dealers, connect with riders, and remind ourselves why Dirtbag Brands exists in the first place.

We’ve never believed in learning from behind a desk. Getting in the truck, shaking hands, and seeing our products in the wild keeps us grounded. This trip wasn’t about sales metrics — it was about real dealer support and community connection.

Why UTV Dealer Support Matters More Than Ever

There’s no better way to understand UTV dealer support than to get out there and live it.

Performance on Display — KRX H2 and UTV Stereo

During the trip, we stopped by RideNow Goodyear, where UTV Stereo had their KRX H2 on full display. The build was a head-turner — billet details, custom lighting, and an audio system that could make any desert ride feel like a concert. Seeing that level of craftsmanship reminded us how creativity and performance continue to shape this industry.

True UTV dealer support goes beyond selling parts. It’s about working with shops and dealers who push the limits of what’s possible. When we spot our products on builds like these, it reinforces why quality, fitment, and reliability matter on every ride.

Connecting with Riders — The BajaBoyzOffroad Story

After wrapping up our dealer visits, we spent time with the people who keep this industry alive every weekend — the riders.
While in Phoenix, we met up with BajaBoyzOffroad, a group known for their energy, humor, and serious off-road dedication. They showed up at the RideNow Goodyear open house with some of their machines since they are street legal in Arizona. They have supported us in the past for awhile, and we’re proud to return that same support. We even got handed us a Ruta Pounder shirt during the event — a gesture that captured what this whole trip was about: community, friendship, and shared respect between riders and builders.

Moments like that remind us that strong UTV dealer support doesn’t end in the shop. It extends to the people who use our products on the dunes, in the desert, and on every trail they can find. That’s the bond that fuels Dirtbag Brands.

We’re proud to support riders like them and build products that can handle the kind of off-road riding they do.

Arizona Still Feels Like Home

Arizona will always feel like home. We have friends, family, and a huge base of UTV dealers and partners like Upfit UTV, Triple R Lights, Valor Offroad, Cavalier Lighting, and more who’ve supported Dirtbag Brands from the beginning. During this trip, we filmed a quick reel for Instagram explaining why we keep coming back — because it’s not just business, it’s personal.

Showing Up Builds Trust

In an industry filled with automation and noise, showing up still matters. RideNow Goodyear did a tremendous job with their open house on October 11th, 2025
When a dealer asks about new Can-Am Maverick R fitments or a rider shows us their Maverick X3 setup, or even their Polaris RZR buggies, those moments keep us connected to what truly matters — the people.

This trip proved again that the heart of UTV dealer support isn’t about policy or pricing — it’s about trust, conversation, and real relationships. That’s how we’ll keep growing, from dealers to desert riders and beyond.

How does Dirtbag Brands support its dealers?

We visit open houses, provide on-site training, and make sure every partner has what they need. True UTV dealer support means showing up, not just sending emails.

Do you work with riding groups?

Absolutely. We ride and collaborate with groups like BajaBoyzOffroad, who live the same off-road lifestyle we design our products for.

Which UTVs do you focus on?

Our products are engineered for Can-Am Maverick R, Maverick X3, and other high-performance UTVs that use 1.75–2 inch round roll bars. This includes popular models like the Polaris RZR, Honda Talon, Yamaha Wolverine RMAX, and Kawasaki KRX and Teryx H2. Every Dirtbag Brands accessory is built to handle the toughest desert and trail conditions riders face across all major UTV platforms.
