With SuperATV's 8\" GDP Portal Gear Lift installed, you can take your side-by-side to another level. That huge increase in ground clearance paired with its torque-boosting 45% or 60% gear reduction gives you the ability to clear bigger rocks and power through thicker mud.

Micro Polishing is a process that gently smooths out any imperfections in the surface of the metal during a two-stage, non-abrasive, burnishing process that produces a chrome-like finish. The result is unbelievably smooth gears that have almost zero friction or resistance. This means better oil retention and a longer lifetime than other gears.
