Which component serves to improve an ATV's handling on rough surfaces?

Engine type
Tire construction
Suspension system
Weight distribution

The correct answer is: Suspension system

The suspension system is crucial for improving an ATV's handling on rough surfaces. It is designed to absorb shocks and bumps, allowing the vehicle to maintain better contact with the ground even when traversing uneven terrain. A well-engineered suspension system enhances stability and comfort for the rider by reducing the impact of obstacles such as rocks, roots, and potholes. This results in improved control and maneuverability, enabling the ATV to navigate challenging environments more effectively. While the other components may contribute to overall performance, they do not directly influence handling on rough surfaces in the same way as the suspension system. The engine type affects power output and efficiency, tire construction influences grip and traction, and weight distribution plays a role in overall balance and stability but does not primarily target the specific challenges posed by rough terrain like the suspension does.
