The businesses behind off-road recreation
ORBA advocates for the businesses whose products, parts, services, and events make off-road recreation possible—and for the millions of enthusiasts who explore America’s outdoor spaces using off-road vehicles.
Members span powersports, racing, four-wheel drive, motorcycles, and overlanding, including OEM and aftermarket manufacturers, retailers, e-commerce businesses, installers, clubs, racing organizations, trade shows, media, and industry groups.
Why join ORBA?
When public lands close to motorized recreation, enthusiasts lose opportunities to ride—and businesses lose customers and markets. ORBA gives the off-road business community a national organization focused on protecting those shared interests.
Members receive the backing of SEMA alongside policy intelligence, research tools, calls to action, communications support, sponsored visibility, and direct connection to the issues affecting access and business growth.
Why support ORBA?
ORBA is focused specifically on motorized off-road recreation. Led by SEMA’s Government Affairs team and OHV consultants, ORBA works with legislators, agencies, legal organizations, law enforcement, and national partners.
That reach helps the industry identify threats earlier, prioritize the most consequential land-use issues, and mobilize coordinated responses across the country.
What ORBA does for business
Motorized outdoor recreation on federal lands has a $720 billion annual economic impact, while the off-road automotive aftermarket contributes an estimated $12 billion. ORBA helps ensure agencies and lawmakers consider that economic reality alongside sound environmental principles.
