ATV TRAILER
The ATV trailer is specifically designed to be towed behind the Tuatara side-by-side, but it works well with any other larger capacity ATVs or even an on-road motor vehicle.

ATV cage
One of our most popular accessories. This lightweight but solid stainless steel cage can be easily fitted to the Tuatara side-by-side to enhance the cargo tray’s already generous carrying capacity.

Optional Doors &Windows
Full glass windscreen – Most of our customers like adding the glass windscreen and rear window whether they add doors to fully enclose the cabin or not. The windscreen tilts open with struts.
