While there’s quite a bit of debate on the pros and cons of both OEM and aftermarket parts for powersports vehicles, in the end, OEM components will always be the best option for a vehicle. While both components have their place in the market, OEM parts provide reliability, quality, and longevity an aftermarket part simply can’t match. To learn more about these two components and why an OEM option is likely the best choice for you, check out our article below.

Quality

If you’re looking for a quality part for your powersports vehicle, an OEM competent is going to be your best bet. These parts are often made with better materials and better manufacturing tools and are typically much longer lasting than aftermarket parts. 

Convenience 

While OEM parts may be higher-quality components, they can also be extremely difficult to find. Because OEM components are only compatible with a specific make and model of powersports vehicle, it can sometimes seem impossible to locate the correct part for your model. Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are designed to fit into a wide array of different powersports vehicles and model types. As a result, these parts are much more widely available and affordable than OEM components. 

Compatibility 

While aftermarket parts are compatible with a wide range of different powersports vehicles, this versatility often comes at the expense of a vehicle’s performance. Because they’re unlikely to fit perfectly in with your vehicle’s other equipment, the performance and longevity of your machine may suffer as a result. While harder to find, OEM parts are guaranteed to be the best fit for your model’s unique manufacturing, ensuring your powersports vehicle continues to perform at its best.
