DRT Motorsports
DRT stands for Desert Racing Technologies, and that is the whole brand in three words. DRT builds the hardware that keeps a side by side in one piece when you are driving it hard in open desert — winch bumpers, tire carriers, chase racks, rock sliders, radius rods and tie rods, intrusion bars, shock and CV guards — plus the billet aluminum interior parts that make a race-prepped machine feel finished rather than stripped.
They design, engineer and test everything in Riverside, California. Parts are 3D modeled, built by hand, and put through real conditions before they are released rather than after. The aesthetic is deliberately aggressive and consistent across the line, which is why DRT builds tend to look like builds rather than a machine with parts hung on it.
What DRT does not make is engine performance. No exhaust, no intake kits, no tunes, no shocks or springs. If you want horsepower, that is a different brand and we carry several. DRT is chassis, protection, storage and cockpit — the parts that let you use the power you already have without breaking something. We stock 298 DRT products, more than any other retailer we track.

What DRT Builds
Winch bumpers, front and rear. The core product. Laser-cut, formed and welded steel, most designed around a winch, most with removable aluminum mesh inserts. The RZR Pro XP front winch bumper is $368.00, the RZR Pro R front is $395.00, the Kawasaki Teryx H2 front is $500.00, the Teryx KRX 1000 HD front is $385.00 with the rear at $599.00, the Polaris Ranger XP 1000 rear winch bumper is $565.00, the Xpedition rear is $425.00 – $521.00, and the X3 front bumper with bulkhead is $252.00.
Tire carriers, adventure racks and chase racks. The category DRT is best known for and the one that defines a desert build. The Polaris RZR Pro Series Tire Carrier and Adventure Rack V2.0 is $700.00, the RZR XP 1000 and Turbo version is $513.00, and the Can-Am Maverick R Tire Carrier and Adventure Rack is $785.00. These carry a spare, a cooler, fuel and gear on the back of a machine that has no bed.
Storage and trunk enclosures. The RZR Pro R aluminum storage and trunk enclosure runs $550.00 – $618.00 and turns dead space behind the seats into a sealed, lockable box. On a sport machine with no bed, this is the difference between carrying gear and wearing it.
Rock sliders and protection. Xpedition ADV5 and XP5 rock sliders are $599.00, Maverick X3 door rock rails are $493.00, and the X3 A-arm reinforcement gusset kit is $119.00 — the last one being the sort of part you buy after you bend an A-arm, or before, if you are paying attention.
Steering and suspension hardware. Billet aluminum tie rod kits at $300.00 for the RZR and the Teryx KRX, the RZR Pro XP platform 64-inch UHD 7075-aluminum tie rod kit at $325.00, the Pro R and Turbo R billet hex bar radius rod kit at $575.00, the X3 billet radius rod plate at $256.00, and adjustable barrel sway bar links at $150.00. Radius rods and tie rods are the two things that bend first on a hard-driven machine, and DRT's are the upgrade most desert riders make first.
Cockpit and billet. Round steering wheels at $184.00 – $190.00, billet hub adapters at $70.00 for the Mule, Teryx, Viking, Wolverine and YXZ, the X3 billet aluminum door handle kit at $70.00, the Ranger grip shifter V2.0 at $65.00, A-pillar grab handles, and a raw aluminum fender and rock washer dress-up kit at $48.00.
Body and grills. The 2025-plus RZR Pro Series fender kit for the Pro R, Pro S and Pro XP is $1,000.00, the RZR Pro XP aluminum grill is $165.00, and the RZR XP 1000 air intake vent grill is $69.00 — a grill that protects the intake, not an intake kit.
Universal and safety. The UTV universal fire extinguisher kit at $105.00 – $135.00, the spare axle cage mount at $57.00, the ratcheting 3-point Y-strap at $70.00, the billet aluminum universal round tube clamp at $25.00, and the Maverick X3 belt replacement tool kit at $90.00.

Best-Selling DRT Products
- RZR Pro XP Winch Bumper, Front ($368.00) — laser-cut steel with a winch mount and mesh insert, and the DRT product that introduces most people to the brand. Front-end protection that does not look like an afterthought.
- Mule / Teryx Steering Wheel Billet Hub Adapter ($70.00) — our best-performing DRT product page. The adapter that lets an aftermarket wheel bolt to a Kawasaki, and the piece people forget to order with the wheel.
- Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Rear Winch Bumper ($565.00) — rear protection with a winch provision, for a Ranger that pulls as often as it gets pulled.
- RZR Pro R Aluminum Storage / Trunk Enclosure ($550.00 – $618.00) — a sealed aluminum box behind the seats. On a Pro R with no bed, this is where the tools, the recovery gear and the cooler finally live.
- Polaris RZR 2025+ Pro Series Fender Kit ($1,000.00) — full fender replacement covering the Pro R, Pro S and Pro XP. The most visible change you can make to a Pro-series RZR and the top of our DRT range.
- Round Steering Wheels ($184.00 – $190.00) — DRT's own wheels, which pair with the billet hub adapters above. Buy both together or you will be waiting on a $70 part.
- RZR XP 1000 Air Intake Vent Grill ($69.00) — a billet grill that keeps debris out of the intake vent without restricting it. Cheap, and it prevents a genuinely expensive problem.

Which Machines DRT Covers
Deepest coverage: Polaris RZR across the whole family — XP 1000, Turbo, Pro XP, Pro S, Pro R, Turbo R — and Can-Am Maverick X3 and Maverick R.
Strong coverage: Polaris Xpedition, including the ADV5 and XP5, and Ranger, including the XD 1500 · Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 and Teryx H2 · Can-Am Defender, including the HD11.
Also supported: Honda Talon, Yamaha Viking, Wolverine and YXZ, and Segway.
The pattern: DRT follows new sport and adventure platforms early. Maverick R, Xpedition, Ranger XD 1500, Defender HD11 and Teryx H2 all have DRT parts, often before the rest of the aftermarket. If you just bought a new machine, check here first.
Is DRT Right For Your Build?
Buy DRT if you drive the machine hard, if you ride open desert or fast trail, if you carry gear on a machine with no bed, or if you want a build with a consistent aggressive look rather than parts from six brands that do not match.
Look elsewhere if you want engine power — DRT does not build it — or if the machine is a slow work vehicle where race-derived protection is more than you need.
Where DRT is strongest: tire carriers and chase racks, where their designs are the reference in the category, and radius and tie rods, which is the upgrade that stops a desert weekend from ending early.
Where you have more options: bumpers, where several brands build to a similar standard, and steering wheels, where DRT competes with specialists.

DRT Motorsports Frequently Asked Questions
What does DRT stand for? Desert Racing Technologies. The name is the product philosophy — parts designed for machines being driven fast in open desert, where the failure points are the chassis, the steering links and whatever is holding your spare tire on.
Does DRT make exhaust, intakes or tunes? No. DRT builds chassis hardware, protection, storage and billet cockpit parts. For engine performance we carry Aftermarket Assassins, Evolution Powersports and others. It is a common misconception and worth being clear about before you order.
Where are DRT products made? Designed, engineered and tested in Riverside, California. Parts are 3D modeled and hand built, then tested in real conditions before release rather than validated afterward.
Do I need a hub adapter with a DRT steering wheel? Almost always, yes, and it is the most common ordering mistake in this line. A steering wheel bolts to a hub adapter, and the adapter is specific to your machine. DRT's run about $70. Add it to the cart with the wheel or you will be waiting on a small part to finish a big upgrade.
What is a chase rack or adventure rack? A structure that mounts behind the cab or in the bed area to carry a spare tire, fuel, a cooler, recovery gear and often lights or a whip. On a sport machine with no bed it is the only way to carry anything substantial, and on a desert build it is standard equipment rather than an accessory.
Should I upgrade radius rods and tie rods? If you drive hard, yes, and it is the highest-value suspension purchase most people make. Factory tie rods and radius rods bend before anything else does, and a bent rod ends the day. DRT's billet aluminum and hex bar kits are considerably stronger than stock and cost a fraction of what a broken weekend costs.
Do DRT bumpers come with a winch? No. Bumpers are winch-ready where the listing says so, and the winch is a separate purchase. Tell us which bumper you are looking at and we will confirm what winch fits.
