I tried to stay out of this because of the Polaris vs errbody else arguments, but what the hell…it’s a slow Sunday morning.
Between my Son and I, we’ve had 5 RZRs since 2013. We have ridden trails in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Tennessee. We like rock crawling and don’t shy away from the toughest trails possible in a SXS. We have never had a breakdown that has left us stranded, had a buggy fail to start, or had a mechanical failure that was not our fault. RZRs are tough buggies and if maintained Will provide you years of trouble free trail riding. Can Am makes a tough buggy and you can’t go wrong…especially with the X3 line up. The Kawasaki is great, although not turbocharged is a bit down on power. This isn’t an issue unless you dune or desert ride. For trails they are great. They are geared low enough for 35s off the showroom floor. The Honda Talon is also a good choice. Geared instead of a belt, but like the Kawasaki, down on HP due to no turbo. My recommendations for sport trail riding - Polaris turbo RZR, Can Am X3, Kawasaki KRX, and Honda Talon. Also note…any of the above are absolute money pits if you get into max performance from your buggy. My buggy…  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wm69: I'll post the quote again from the parts manager from Honda East Toledo, which sells and repairs all of the big brands. This was from emails back and forth a couple of years ago. Can am are gas guzzlers, Polaris can and will sell to anyone with a pay stub, credit or not, as far as the quality goes....I let it speak for itself. All the machine out back in our stable, 90% of them.....Polaris sportsmans and RZR's. I had to put a belt and clutch rollers in my FIL's Can Am HD8 with under 1K miles on it, stock tires. Otherwise it's been ok, but with only 1K miles on it, not really enough use to tell how it will be in the long term. I'm a Honda ATV guy, but there new stuff isn't as good as their old stuff. For years I'd buy 3-4 basketcase Honda ATV's (usually sunk, and then ridden till they died) and rebuild them. I have a lot of people show up and say "Hey, I've heard you're good with ATV/ UTV stuff, can you fix this?" and I've fixed a lot of stuff over the last decade. Were I looking at SxS's, especially a "sporty" one, I'd look at Yamaha first. The Honda 1000's had some issues early in the design that seem to have gotten better with some component upgrades. The700's aren't really a "sport" UTV, and the three speed transmission leaves a lot to be desired. The Yamaha has the best belt system. Hondas don't have belts. That puts them top of the heap for me. Can Am's are powerhouses, but power breaks stuff. Polaris and Arctic Cat are bottom of the barrel garbage as brands, and not only would I not buy one, I won't work on them anymore. They're just shit build quality, parts are $$$, and they have to be repaired over and over again. Polaris dealerships here don't last. Nobody buys them. The power junkies buy Can Am, everyone else buys Honda. You post is pretty much wrong in many ways..... My buddy owns a large Polaris/Honda/Yamaha dealership. Most of the Polaris that come in for service are issues from abuse, lack of maintenance or the owner trying to modify it themselves. Polaris is rock solid and driving them against a Talon or Rmax, the Polaris is a much better machine. Can Am are over rated and over priced but they are solid. I am a Kawi fan boy though. They have never given me a problem. Even made sure my golf cart had the Kawi 400 engine that come in the Mules (EZ go S4). OP, make sure to buy a machine suited to what your wanting to do. You don't need a turbo blah blah if unless your running dunes. Many of those machines are too wide and won't be allowed on trails or your trail experience can/will suck. Pretty safe with a Teryx, General, Ridge XR or Razr XP. For tight trails they may require something under 60" like a Rzr Trail. |

In terms of a UTV/SxS, I'm a huge proponent of the multi-task.
I use mine mostly as a campground run-about, yard work, to push snow, and THEN to leisurely buzz around on the trails and off road. I have a 2023 Polaris Ranger 570, and it does all I need and more. I have no use for hauling ass at 70mph, or trying to pull 1000's of lbs worth of gear and trailer up a mountainside, etc. I paid $15k out the door... buy what you need, you can always "upgrade" to what you want later on if you feel you don't have enough. Cheers. |

 I've owned 3 sport SxS's. A RZR XPT, a Can Am X3 RS Turbo R, and now a Polaris RZR Pro R.All of them have been solid units. If you ride hard enough you will break stuff and anything that did break was my fault. What I like about the RZR seating position was always optimal. The x3 felt like sitting in a low slung sports car. Low gear, much better on the Polaris. The can am would rev out at 15 - 20mph. Which if you were in tight trails with long straights you are constantly switching from low to high and to do so you have to stop. Suspension- both are phenomenal. My current rzr has dynamix live valves and having the "oh shit" button is nice for those big g outs or unexpected air time. Either way I can run it through the whoops at speed and basically glide over them. My XPT with Walker Evans Shocks was not great. It could go at decent clip but it was harsh. The can am was pretty good and you could go much faster. The pro R is a monster with the suspension travel you would not believe some of the stuff you can hit at speed and it just glides over it. Features- Polaris for sure with ride command. It can be finicky for some things. However for trail finding I will use my phone or tablet with onX off road. My x3 always felt bare bones. Power- both were peppy in the XPT and the X3 and had plenty of power to climb big dunes or scoot about with purpose. My pro R is in a whole other planet though. Sure it was fast with the stock NA motor but it now wears a boondocker turbocharger and with the correct fuel makes 400+ crank hp. It's spicy. You really can't go wrong with the Turbocharged OEM units though. The pro r motor in OEM form though is beefy and very reliable with 225 hp. Also these choices depend heavily on your terrain. My current pro r is 74 wide. 80 when I throw paddles on it for the dunes. So East coast tight trails would not be ideal. The new maverick is out with the wild upper A arm and knuckle setup. Asking with DCT 6 speed transmission. I really don't think you could go wrong with that model either.  |

Put a roof, window, winch on it, otherwise it is stock. Very quiet, starts right up, fast as I need it to be, can run it on very narrow trails, etc, etc. I wanted a Kubota. Two years ago the dealer couldn't get one in to even look at. Decided to go with a Honda Pioneer 520. Wanted to stay away from a CVT transmission. Use almost exclusively for working around the property. Only upgraded the wheels and tires. Also roof and windshield. Went with very aggressive tire and wider offset. Very happy so far. |

Honda Talon. Suspension sucks but reliable for 13,300 miles so far. Tires and a steering sensor/drive shaft unit were needed other than oil changes. Blackstone helped out there. I go every 3000 miles even though they say I could go to 5,000 for oil/filter.
Change the shock springs and/or suspension bypass switch for low speed trail comfort. Polaris makes a good unit but mine is street legal and belts don't cut it. Mine is the Talon X model. |

RZR has a superb ride but driving low speeds shortens belt life. Carry a spare belt and tools.
Reliable = Honda or other Japanese. Honda Talon X series use a DCT dual clutch transmission, not a pull belt CVT transmission. Pull belt CVT transmissions need work to keep running, not difficult or expensive, just need it. Honda cars use a push belt CVT, the belt is made of steel parts, it works well and lasts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Firespecialist: Polaris is known for catching fire. I had a Can Am Maverick X3 XDS (64” model). Loved it, lots of fun and the 64” width allowed me to get into some tight trails but still would rather have the 72” wide model. Can Ams are also are almost unbearable in the cab with the clutch noise. They are loud. Haven’t rode in a new one but supposedly they are a lot quieter. Turbo models make me giggle…but can be a lot to handle on trails and when crawling. Kawasaki is making waves in the sport SxS world even though underpowered. They are getting popular with the crawling crowd as they have a phenomenal suspension and are a hell of a lot cheaper to get into. They just lack aftermarket support but it’ll come around. Stay away from Hondas and Yamahas, IMO. Shock Therapy on YouTube has some great videos that go in depth on each manufacturer’s suspension. Kawasaki sound good, thanks. |

The stock one isn't all that protective under the Engine/Trans and will bend at least look like the next rock you hit is going to send it right through the transmission. My buddies KRX (He drives it like a rock bouncer) eventually was bent up enough everything was rubbing, so we cut all the OE stuff out, welded in square tubing for cross members and used 3/16" AR400 plating for his replacement skid plate. His dad's KRX (that doesn't get driven near as hard) still had bent cross members and the skid was pushing up towards the trans. We pulled it back best we could and he went to a 1/2" thick plastic under the whole machine. 2. If you drive trails at night, A pillar lights angled out ~45 degrees. These help greatly as ditch lights and not leaving you blind around corners. And a 2nd set or small light bar for backup lights. Baja Designs Squadren Pro's are a solid choice here. Diode Dynamics would be my second choice. These are also great if you're behind someone, as they aren't blasting light into the mirrors of the guy in front of you all the time. 3. Again, if you're a night rider... A light bar, and not the one you have since you have a windshield (too much glare). I'll see if I can find a picture of the one I mounted for my friend. Baja Designs Onyx 6. 4. A hitch 5. Harnesses The retractable ones are pretty comfortable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LexDiamonds: Yeah, tunes is an interesting one. This machine has nothing as it sits. I was all about the Kawa touch screen and sides/sub but then the dealership guy was like "If you think you are going to be tooling around at 40mph and have HQ sound, I have news for you". I have been brewing on this and not sure really where to go. I like that JBL soundbar in the quick release fire extinguisher mount idea. And no way in hell will I do whip lights. I'm not a fan but to each their own. I'll do a red/blue chase light instead. |

I'd be way more interested in a UTV if they looked cooler instead of like dune buggies with Down's syndrome
