Adding proper recovery points to your ATV is one of those upgrades you don’t fully appreciate until you’re stuck axle‑deep in mud or snow. Here’s why they matter:
 
What Recovery Points Do
Safe Anchor for Pulling: They provide a strong, designated place to hook up a winch line, tow strap, or snatch block. Without them, people often use bumpers, racks, or tie‑down loops—which can bend, snap, or even become dangerous projectiles under load.
Protects Your Frame: Frame‑mounted recovery points spread the pulling force across a reinforced section of the ATV, reducing the risk of twisting or cracking the chassis.
 
Why You’ll Be Glad You Have Them
You will get stuck: Mud, snow, sand, or swampy trails eventually trap every rider. Having a rated recovery point means you can get pulled out quickly and safely.
Peace of Mind: Instead of worrying about damaging your ATV during recovery, you know the stress is being handled by a part designed for it.
Trail Etiquette: If you ride with others, they’ll appreciate that you’ve got proper points to hook onto—no fussing around trying to find a safe spot.
 
In short: recovery points are cheap insurance. They keep you, your machine, and your riding buddies safer when the inevitable “stuck moment” happens.
