An aftermarket modification designed for the Yamaha Raptor 700R all-terrain vehicle (ATV), this component enhances stability and handling. It effectively increases the overall width of the ATV’s stance, achieved by extending the length of the axles or utilizing wheel spacers. An example is a kit that adds two inches to each side of the ATV.
The implementation of such a modification offers several advantages. Enhanced stability, particularly during cornering and on uneven terrain, is a primary benefit. This increase in stability translates to improved rider control and a reduced risk of rollovers. Historically, these modifications became popular as ATV riders sought to enhance the performance and safety of their vehicles, especially for aggressive riding styles or competitive racing.
