Within each ATV tournament many different types of riders are involved. Whether it is a single race or a series of races, riders are classified into racing groups, which are riders they will be competing against essentially. The racing classifications are determined by different standards, depending on rank of competition you are involved in. The type of ATV you drive, its capabilities and motor classification are main determining factors in grouping ATV racers. In 2004 standards and rules changed for which class you and your ATV fall in, and they will continue to change as administrators figure out what rules run best races.

The classes of riders are only beginning of diversity within a race. The multiple types, styles and designs of ATVs are reason for different classes, which creates even more variety in sport. While competition level among ATV racers is high, there are still those who are learning or they just enjoy racing recreationally. For these types of ATVers, you can find local trails or racing tracks.
