UTV ACTION IS THE LARGEST, FASTEST-GROWING TITLE AIMED AT UTV ENTHUSIASTS.
Bound as a magazine within ATV Action, UTV Action reaches more than 150,000 enthusiastic readers each month. UTV owners enjoy customizing and modifying their sophisticated vehicles as much as driving them for pleasure and racing them, making UTV Action a key reference in their vehicle and product-buying decisions. The booming UTV market just keeps growing as off-road enthusiasts continue to buy the exciting new machines from the manufacturers. Along with the popular Rhinos, Teryxs and Big Reds, Polaris has introduced 15 UTV models to its 2012 lineup. In addition to the gutsy RZR XP 900, there’s also a lower-priced 570 that is already a big hit. Can-Am has been getting much attention with its line of Commanders, and Arctic Cat continues to impress with its Prowlers and the amazing new Wild Cat. Despite UTV Action’s massive circulation, the appeal of its outstanding photography and the credibility that comes with its association with ATV Action, it offers affordable rates that allow advertisers to reach this rich, growing market affordably, supported by respected, product-heavy editorial.
