Spent five years as a technician with babbitts sport center near silver lake sand dunes, from my hands on experience from 2012-2017 the design and execution of the machines were greatly improved while the build quality went down hill at the same rate. Replacing all the ball joints and bushings due to excessive play, blown out wheel bearings, worn secondary clutches and smoked primaries, consistent wire harness repair for injectors and tmap sensors, front differential failures left and right all within 800-1500 miles is unacceptable. They have the market covered on performance and apparently in this world that’s all it takes to put up with the poor build quality. Bummer on the new unit being so fragile, I feel your pain man.
I bought a brand new Highlifter 1000 spent first 3 months in the shop with repairs it was a Nightmare computer clutch and cams all shot zero run time I had the lemon of lemons and the motor has rattled form day one never seen such shoddy work and such poor design.
Hope everything works out for you man. Sucks when shitty things happen to the honest good folks while the rich get ten richer. I as well as others really appreciate this review.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE VIDEO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS AND RESPONSES. was looking at this machine , the talon and X3. Since have found out that X3 guys complain about bending the suspension and how u need aftermarket stuff. Now this with the XP. Still doing research on all. Guess ill stick with my 2016 900S a lil longer. Solid overall machine. Honestly just wanted a better suspension.......
As a polaris tech I have always strongly advised against the brand for anyone that doesnt just have money to burn, the initial performance and user friendliness of the machines draws people to them but after even 20 hours on most of their machines the quality starts to show, all I can say is polaris is making a ton of money on the margins they have on parts and the machines themselves. Lol
Good information, To the points and easy..I almost purchased this exact machine, in the end went with the Honda Talon....Thanks for the look from an owner's view.
@@offroadfunz6094 Sorry, I'm not buying it. 3 mph is a brisk walking speed; IF you rolled it at walking speed (doubtful), it would not have done that much damage. As far as parts availability, yes it's maddening, but it's very common with a new model; it takes time for the parts supply chain to materialize. Greed? I don't know about that, but your point is well taken. The video is good in that it points out not only the parts availability (or lack thereof), but also the ridiculous pricing. But hey, that's no different than many vehicles on the market today. But 3 mph? Nope.
Gary also Polaris has basically unlimited resources they choose parts suppliers and place the orders for parts they choose to leave their customers out in the cold and that sir is bad business
Off road fun Z my “3 mph” rollover caused a 1 in crack in my finder flare. my other significantly faster rollover and slide probably going 17-20 mph ripped the rear fender off. still don’t understand how a “3 mph” rollover bent both radiators, destroyed all plastics on that side and bent frame.. very hard to believe
I have one and so far have not had any issues replacing parts if you go through Rocky Mountain ATV you will see OEM parts usually take 5-7 days to get and not that expensive. pays to do research. UTV's are expensive toys though. gotta pay to play.
Been riding off road for 40 years well aware that it’s an expensive hobby when my troubles began there was no oem parts available on Rocky Mountain or anywhere else for the xp pro except polaris and dealing with polaris is unpleasant at best
I had the same thing happen with my RS1. My wife put it on it's side on memorial day 2019. I was told the frame was on back order and they (polaris dealer I purchased from) submitted a VDO (vehicle down order) a few days later I heard back from the dealership, there are no frames available they are on backorder, but we expect to have 1 for you by September 25 2019. Not sure when it actually came in but I picked my machine up October 25th. It's out of your hands now, all you can do is wait. It sucks but it is what it is. If they are replacing the roll cage which they should. You might consider upgrading it since they are paying to replace it anyway. My .02 pennies. Hope it all works out! Sucks not knowing when it will be ready for action again. Good luck!
So did the actual 2inch frame bend? Or just the door? I just got mine today and i was pissed at the assembly of it. My buddy and I had to take a lot of the plastic off and reassemble it. The plastic in a lot of areas had gaps and you could tell that’s not where it was supposed to be. For some reason it died while we were riding it no clue why. Who should I email? Also, how did you wire your light bar up? Did you run the wires inside the frame?
Yes the frame bent and I’m in northern Ohio it landed in soft dirt just imagine what would happen out west in some rocky terrain the plastics on this machine are junk all of the mounting tabs snapped right off and the white pieces are 400$ each I’ve been a loyal Polaris customer for over 20 years my faith in the company and their products is gone I will never buy another Polaris you can call the owner connection customer service line but don’t expect much help and yes I ran the wires inside the cage
Look at the thickness of your frame tubes they make such a big deal about their 2 inch tubes but they’re so thin I don’t care what they’re made of they’re going to bend they claim to be the industry leader ha what a sad joke they used to be not anymore
Well I feel that I’m in that same bucket. Again, I don’t like the plastic or the doors on this thing and if the frame really is that weak then that’s pathetic. I’ve only got less than a mile on mine but had some clutch noise. Any noise that you’ve noticed?
@@offroadfunz6094, sorry to hear, I had my son, myself, spare tire rack & tire, normal turn n lightem, just flopped, so slow, I was so bummed, I broke one tab, found the ear, not the plastic yet lol. Bent tab, scratched, but no major, took off spare, working on relocating on rear, I totally feel for ya..
3 miles a hour? This is a new production so of course it is going to cost more to get parts but I don't see how a rollover, especially at 3 mph destroyed radiators or the frame. I just see plastic damage. Another question. Why do you roll over so many rzrs? We have had rzrs all the way back to the 800 and then 900, 1000xp, 1000xp turbo dynamix, and now the 2020 Ultimate. We have never rolled one ever. Just turn into your insurance company and get it paid for and get something else. Of course you can't get parts when it is a new model and still in production and high demand. We love ours by the way. Much beefier suspension and a great ride so far.
It’s great that you’ve never rolled one here’s some good advice if you do roll one don’t roll the ultimate because it’ll fold like it’s made of eggshells
I just had a similar roll over with similar damage to my 21 pro xp and was wondering if they welded new door brackets to the frame? Mine is going to the shop tomorrow.
Same situation for my older xp1k. The whole rear, left side and right side fenders were destroyed from a small roll. Nothing has changed. Insurance quote was 15k for repairs. Same story as every rzr and x3. Not sure why some people here are siding with the x3. They're even worse and can-am is worse with customer satisfaction
my buddy rolled at 25 and it bent door mount and side plastic broke it looks more like you rolled alot faster then you claim and the radiator and intercooler wouldent be bent like that inless you crashed into something or yourolled on large rocks snyways hope you get it fixed and get back too ripping
Glad I saw this, thank you for posting!! I was just about to pull the trigger on this machine. Now, I’m gonna wait a year or two for Polaris to come clean, or, I might pull the trigger on that sweet new KRX . Either way, I’m not buying a first year machine...good luck man!
I'm grabbing the KRX in a couple weeks...... haven't seen any bad complaints on that machine...... a few people not picking some things but overall great reviews on that one
Im 19, my 16year old friend drives a 2018 Ranger 570 EFI (With ProFit cab)...it shuts off when stopping (Once a front left axle broke after shifting to 2wd) and has all kinds of little problems, Never abused (No Mud, or anything)
sorry a lot of people don't believe your account of what happened, its sad it did'nt hold up better. Hopefully you can get it resolved and back on the trail without much money lossed. be safe!
Because the rzr have roll cages doesn't mean they are immune to damage. If YOU made it out alive the Roll Cage did what it was suppose to do!! It protected You.
I bought the last year or the2021 Polaris turbo s velocity edition. Have almost 2,000 miles on it and haven't had any issue with it yet other than service.
That’s sucks ... I don’t really like the xp pro body style , my 2019 xp4 is awesome.. I think people get stuck on horsepower numbers and forget about everything else ..
You may not like the body but there is a lot about the overall design that is good. I do agree however that many seem to just want the highest HP machine.
Did the same to mine. I have a 2019 xp4 turbo s. I put it on its side at low speed and the roll cage bent, both radiators needed to be replaced, because the brackets put terrible bends in them, it broke several clips and a mount to my front headlight. I understand its heavy but was disappointed in the strength of the roll cage.
Yes I don’t know what they’re thinking at Polaris I’ve been a loyal customer for over 20 years spent well over 100,000$ with them and they quite simply do not care about product quality or their customer..... sad
I'll stick with my cfmoto zforce 800ex. I've put that thing in its top and side going about 35. Flipped it over picked up the fender flares that are held on by plastic rivets and drove it for another 5 hours each time with no issues. Only paid 11k for it brand new....
I flipped my 2010 polaris rzr and nothing happened, the door bent in a little bit but that was pretty easy to fix, I do believe as time goes on, they make them cheaper quality to get you to buy new machines and it's pretty bullshit that's the only thing keeping me from buying a pro xp
sucks this happened, im wondering if you got a "bad one", ive seen people smoke trees going about 60, hit that same spot, frame still stood stright, they had a bent trailing arm mind you, and the plastics were mangled, but the frame was fine. is it a possibility you rolled on a rock?
We’re you in 4 wheel drive I was in my 900s 2019 at phsst just say 5mph turn to sharp an ripped back left fender off had plastic weld an ear back on it and bent door bar lol I just drove it up against a tree an put ratchet strap on bar an around tree an ratcheted the bar out until door could shut
Smart move on the insurance my buddy hit a perfectly place rock and messed up his oil drain causing it to leak and it did Frame damage ass well he was thinking they would total it out but they didn’t repaired the frame replaced the motor 11 k$ labor and parts done at dealer lot of people get these 18-30$k machines and don’t get insurance on them and do what he did and you did then there stuck with a shop bill they can’t pay good honest review man that’s one reason I didn’t get Polaris they are so big when you need them they don’t have time for you unless your buying another one I told the dealer few months back y’all don’t need any new customers if you can’t take care of the ones y’all already had
On a positive note.. It's pretty easy to fix low range power.. Polaris Definetly detunes the low range... Go with an aftermarket tune to get full power in reverse. They detuned low in all prior rzr turbos.. I hate my 19 turbo low range. Glad to hear the chassis does handle better
Easy to fix yes but shouldn’t have to spend 500$ for a programmer when they should tune it to run properly at the factory especially for 25k should be ready to run ....... thieves
@@offroadfunz6094 your not wrong.. But I can see 9/10 people who would mess stuff up with full power in low. Detuning them in low helps with making the driveline last. If/when superatv come out with a tune.. It should only be around 300.
Thanks for the honest review! Saw many running around at Camp Rzr and they didn’t look particularly fast or good, but I imagine the handling is great (my buddy who is a legit driver also said this). Seems like a lot of “cost averaging” of this new machine, for the price it should have nicer fit and finish, just looks kind of cheap for being “brand new wiz bang”. My buddy at a dealer says Polaris currently does not have axles in stock for these!
Never was a fan of Polaris, was looking at these the dealer ship yesterday while talking to the salesman about the numbers on taking ownership of a 2019 x3 xmr. Honda and recently can am have been surprisingly pleasant experiences with me.
I feel your frustration and pain. I have the 1st rzr 2008 RZR 800 and I have rolled it about 3 times. I drive it hard over logs, small trees and it still keeps on ticking. I have over 6,500 miles and still runs good. Quality has gone down hill ever since then. Keeping my 2008 RZR 800. As of Nov 2019 I still have the original belt on it and it still looks good. But it sure looks TINY sitting next to my girlfriends new 2017 Polaris 1000XP high lifter. LOL.
Wished I had one until I watched this. I'm going to buy a 17-19 used 1000xp for 10-12k$ and beat the piss out of it without worrying..man I'm sorry for what happened to your beautiful ride. Breaks my heart to see this new epic machine built like an egg. What a shame. Next step I would do after the repairs happen would be to exo cage it.
I understand wanting to maintain the stock configuration of a new machine, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be going back with stock, I’d be going back with metal body panels and wrapping the cage around to the front bumper for more security
Almost bought one but decided to go with Kawasaki krx 1000 looked at what you have and Honda Those Polaris have a better throttle response but I just thought I got lill more for my money with the Kawasaki krx like doors bead locks thanks for the review honest review need more of them !
Your complaint about the turbo lag under 20 mph is legit, but you can’t really compare falls the way you do in the vid. No two falls are are same and I had a proper multiple roll dune accident on my pro Xp where there wasn’t even a scratch.
Rs1 same deal if you roll. Front to back on its side light roll. Every PC plastic and back rack and roof shattered, frame PCs twisted. End of day they belong on all fours but when it happens, 11g to fix plastics etc is redicilous.
Martorious Martuzzi #44 agree should keep it on all 4 wheels but a low speed roll over on soft dirt should not be close to 11k in damage polaris quality and durability is in the toilet
@@offroadfunz6094 I hear you, our roll was on very slow speed into soft dirt and was shocked at how much damage it caused, I got rid of it right after. But sure loved how that rs1 rode.
Wow, Thank you for this video. I was literally about to spend 30K on this machine. My concerns have been answered in your video. I guess I'm going to go look at the Kawasaki KRX this week. It's the next one on my list. I like the Talon but I have concerns about the tire size and how it will handle on the trails with larger tires. Kawi looks pretty tough though.
Yeah man trading my yxz1000r for the KRX in a couple weeks..... been researching the shit out of them...... and barely any complaints on those...... a few people nitpicking but nothing major..... I was eyeballing the Polaris but way to many complaints on them
@Armando I did and the thing was a straight Cadillac very roomy and a definite work horse in the trails....people call them cheat code like Nintendo 😀...... but I traded it for the Can Am RC RR....and performance wise Was much better but not so much on visibility and comfort.....The KRX was definitely a stellar machine in my opinion
Great video...The exact reason I sold my 2018 rzr turbo is they are way too top heavy. I put mine on its side the fist day I owned it. Sold it last year for a 2019 x3.The rzr is a not even close to the x3 in every way...except for the blind spots. I can live with that knowing it won't roll on corners.
I had similar issues with Polaris help phone, my 2015 sportsman 1000xp kept catching stuff on fire, debris collecting on the muffler caught fire numerous times, the fenders caught fire from the muffler, then the front differential input bearing plate exploded, then voltage regulator catches fire, then 3 more after the first voltage regulator caught fire, so most I've seen outta Polaris is a heat sheild update kit, that's the only thing Polaris has done with all my bikes issues, oh wait, it also spits out brake pads,, ya that's safe right. Polaris has the right price, awesome machines with all the bling and fancy features you could ever ask for... BUT.... they dont build quality products and they DONT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY BUILD. If you get hurt they're only concern is if there's gonna be a lawsuit. I'm in the market for a new high end snowmobile and I really like what Polaris offers, but I know I'd be even more STUPID to buy another Polaris. YAMAHA OR SKIDOO OR IM WALKING, FUCK IT.
Polaris quality control has always been suspect from day one. I will never buy from this company. The ride is generally excellent but breakage and maintenance is always out of control.
For everything? To be honest i have two 2016 Sportsman 570s (for my lady and me) and i have zero issues with them, i only have 1200 trail miles on them but so far so good, Winter in 10s and Summer in 90s and they ride good. I got an XP Pro ultimate based on that experience so i hope it at least as good as the quads....
Im 19, my 16year old friend drives a 2018 Ranger 570 EFI (With ProFit cab)...it shuts off when stopping and has all kinds of little problems, Never abused always Serviced at expensive af Polaris service (No Mud, or anything)
Yes probably a mistake but it would take a complete rework to fix the weak points on this machine and I really doubt if polaris will spend the time and money to rework a brand new design so just a warning to prospective buyers they may want to consider a different machine cause the xp pro is bad news
@@offroadfunz6094 so why you buy it man? I just sold my rzr and going to order x3. I'm sorry you are despondent from the machine. for me polris lost it many years ago.
That’s what I thought too when it went over my initial reaction was ok no big deal I’ll just get it back upright and be on my way that’s the point of the video Polaris claims this is the best and strongest rzr they’ve ever built and I can tell you for sure it cannot even survive a low speed roll over on soft dirt without major damage it’s garbage the old rzr xp was much more robust in my personal experience
@@offroadfunz6094 Cage didn't looked damaged, plastic that has 1800lbs crush it isn't going to hold up from any manufacturer. I keep reading your replies and really think you should consider selling your SxS's as there is no current model that wont take on damage from a roll over. Over maybe you need a custom exo-cage if you plan to keep flipping these on their side and or roofs.
FRANK RUSS you’re either part of the problem or part of the solution you frank are not part of the solution defending poor quality and poor business practices does nobody good
@@offroadfunz6094 I'm simply stating there is not a machine out there that will not have damage in the event of a roll over period. Plastic isnt meant to be crushed or bear weight. The way you come off in the video is literally making all these people think that a Polaris is garbage because you rolled yours and it got damaged. All your replies are basically calling Polaris straight trash. They didnt build these to be rolled, however they did build them to protect you in the event of a roll. No different then car manufacturers making crumple zones to absorb impact. Will you say a Ford is a piece of crap if you hit a wall and the frame collapses as it's designed for your safety? The Polaris kept you safe when you rolled it over doing whatever you were doing. It got damaged because you rolled it, not because it's a crappy unit. You are the problem, blaming a manufacturer for your inability to control a unit doing 3mph lol. Like I stated maybe you should find a new hobby friend. You have to pay to play. I would be thankful you walked away uninjured.
FRANK RUSS you can think what you want I’ve been riding off road for 40 years I’ve been a dealership technician for 30 years I know the difference between a well built machine and poor quality if you want to defend poor quality and bad business practices feel free but after all is said and done of course damage is expected from a crash but 11k from a low speed roll is too much I don’t know what you ride or if you ride but apparently you’re living in a different world than me
I’ve been talking with a manager in owner connection and I might as well talk to the wall absolutely no concern for customer satisfaction you’re the first person to say they’re good
i was torn on buying one of these been a polaris guy for years so when i bought my first can am x3 i was kinda question the buy but after im glad i did ride so much better handles better better mpg way better build tham any popo ive had
Yes I did the same exact thing only it was the passenger side, not up on the roof! I found you can’t get many parts yet here either, I did get the front fender plastics not the rear
Phil of the Outdoors if you really want to feel bad about your decision to give polaris your hard earned money try calling the owner connection customer service line .... one word sums it up..... INCOMPETENCE
LOL, yah I called when I started having the issue with the belt slipping in High gear, and they just said I can take it to a dealer for a "soft inspection", I think that is how she phrased it, regardless it is sad that you pay a large sum of money and there these kind of issues right at the start. However, I still love this thing, super fast, nimble, will climb some stuff I didn't think was possible, I'm just going hope that I don't roll it again, or it may become a rock buggy!
Phil of the Outdoors yeah I ordered the aftermarket assassins secondary spring and primary shim supposed to be here tomorrow funny polaris claims the Xp pro was field tested more extensively than any vehicle they’ve ever produced and yet they still have stupid,preventable problems my faith in polaris as a company is gone
I know, I especially agree when it come to the exterior pieces, I had to pull the top door mount over 2 inches and the hinge had to be adjusted as well from a light roll over. I'm a welder/fabricator, not a great one, but understand how something can be made stronger and still be lighter, those pieces probably should be gusseted better just to start, that probably doesn't cover what has happen to yours, but that's just what I see on mine.
CRAP, That sucks! How did you damage the radiator at 3 mile per hour without the front end being smashed? I wish you would of taken pictures of your roll over...Sorry for your loss!!!!
Our 2016 RZR turbo has cost over 15 K in repairs with there junk they build. My 2016 Yamaha YXZ has been a rock star. Can you say class action suit for the crap Polaris sells
This over hyped under built machine incurred 11k in damage at a very low speed roll if it was 30 mph as you suggest it would most certainly be totaled and in the scrap pile where it came from
I've been a loyal polaris fan sence I seen the first polaris that was sold in Oklahoma I've had a lot over the years I currently own 5 now my good friend purchased a can am x3 about a year ago and it has me thinking about making a change he goes everywhere I go and after a few hours hes ready to keep going when my son and i are ready for a nap and a Massage we have 2 rzr s that are identical twins Polaris had better play catch up real quick or I know a guy that's getting 2 new X3s
This is true just happened to me yesterday I barely flipped it on its side and broke a axel the arm control and the doors plastics everything broke Frame got little weird (xp4) pro
They don’t leak yet but they are pushed together and rubbing on each other only a matter of time I think I’m going to pull them out and see if I can straighten them out some because the clueless people at Polaris have no idea where my new ones are or when they’re coming terrible company
That sux. I also would question 3mph. Mines only 18 turbo but it's only 15 bucks a month full coverage through geico. Sounds a lot easier. They took care of 7k on my 4 wheeler no questions asked.
Might be cheaper than that. Just looked. 28.99 next month for 19 Outlander 1000r xtp , 19 renegade xmr 1k, and 18 rzr turbo. Full coverage. This whole thing would have only cost you 500 bucks.
Yeah you would think but no just kinda flopped over at low speed in soft dirt and did all that damage I still can’t get parts and im still very sad and dismayed that I spent all that money on a machine that is absolutely not off road capable I don’t care who you are you ride off road long enough sooner or later you’ll have an unexpected accident and these machines should be robust enough to handle the minor ones without sustaining 11000$ in damage
I bought the 2019 Turbo S4. Thankfully, I haven't noticed any of the power drop in low gear that you described. I've tried to be as careful as possible with it while still pushing it to the limit and having some fun. Haven't rolled it, yet.. but came damned close on a desert dirt road while taking a turn too fast and not applying power. I hope to never go through what happened to you. And I hope my model doesn't have the engineering issues that the new one apparently has. I live in California - here we have a ton of BS emissions regulations. Off road vehicles are registered with a "green sticker" or a "red sticker". Green, you can ride anywhere all year. Red, there are restrictions. ATVs have all been green stickered, until.. 2020. Now, all new ATVs are red stickered. I bought at the right time, and would never have bought the 2020 RZR just for the emissions. Plus I prefer a 4 seater. Wishing you good luck - your video has been very helpful! Sorry for what you're going through though..
Luckily, there's still plenty of national forest and BLM land that hasn't been touched by the evildoers yet. The eastern Sierra Nevada high desert and Nevada is the place to go. I do know of Glamis, but it's 600 miles away from me.. it does look like a sweet place to ride though.
I feel bad for you man but thanks for posting this. Who would have ever thought your video would go viral with almost 40,000 views! I bet if Polaris would have known this from the start they might have overnighted the parts from the assembly line to avoid all the bad publicity. Truly shows what a dirt bag company they are.
Jp 1990 they really have no regard for customer satisfaction if they did they would never release the product to the public with absolutely no product support available no replacement parts at all finally after 6 weeks the parts are starting to arrive after about 20 phone calls to polaris the self proclaimed industry leader should be better than that it’s not like they don’t have the capacity to have replacement parts available at product release they leave their customers hanging by choice very poor business practices
Daniel Garcia True, that is the game to owning a toy. But, these are $$25,000+ “toys”!! They are supposedly built to withstand the riggers of the off road and in some degree they are. Sadly, in many ways they aren’t! They should last at least the lousy 6 month warranty period. These aren’t exactly toys anymore. They are 2,000 pound, 100-200 horsepower, $$20-30,000 Offroad vehicles!! Polaris, and some other manufacturers, are cutting costs by using inferior parts, metals, and plastics. Many of the parts are made cheaply in China and Mexico. For the parts in these machines, they are overpriced! Now if I could buy a machine and it held together for 6 months to a year, then maybe the price would be better in range. Here is a great example; Why is it when a part wears out or breaks in a short period of time, and you replace it with an aftermarket part made by a company much smaller than Polaris, that part lasts 3-10 times longer than the OEM part?? These large companies like Polaris use us as their R&D department.
@@70GTODAN my friend roll over his SXS. Minor damage. Insurance said it will cost $11,000 to repair. I was like dammmmm. Nothing looks wrong but some Plastic damage
@@offroadfunz6094 Thanks for the info! I live about an hour away near Canfield Ohio. How do you like the Rs1? I have a Ranger now and I am looking at adding a sport unit to my garage. Been looking at Polaris, Can am x3 ,and Honda.
The rs1 has been great my buddy has a 2019 rzr turbo that is great I’d just stay away from the pro it’s really junk I’ll be posting a new video soon because the sad story continues
@@offroadfunz6094 Yeah I was thinking about the Rs1 but I want a little more power and want to take my kids with me sometimes. Glad I seen your video I was set on getting the new rzr. Back to the drawing board Lol. Maybe we can go riding sometime when I get my sport unit. Thanks again!
11K In damages!!! I just got rod knock in my 2013 XP900 and a complete engine rebuild isn't even half of that. We are looking to buy a second RZR and when the Pro came out I loved it! Then I test drove one in glamis and hated the way it sat. Poor vision compared to the older models and if the frames are as awful as this seems then 2019 Turbo here I come lol
No way he was doing 3mph I'm a firm believer don't buy anything 1st year either there's always bugs with shit i totally could get with the 3mph thing until there's radiator damage instantly calling bullshit seeing that if it was that slow amd he landed on top how the fuck did he damage radiators he's not telling ya something honest my ass
I am going to assume he was exaggerating how slow he was going to make a point. I have a Polaris Pro XP and I don’t think you can make it go 3mph. So I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he really meant he was going ‘slow’ and that happened.
@@jelias999 I'm not a Polaris fan by any means but I challenge anybody in the comments section to try to roll a machine going 3 miles an hour no Hills involved
Joshua Elias I wish it was bull but it’s not I was surprised at all the plastic damage and dismayed at the frame damage but seeing the radiators were destroyed after such a minor roll removed any remaining doubts that this machine is an off road capable unit it is a very fragile delicate flower
Sorry to hear. Appreciate your honesty. Good insight
HE's not being honest!
Thanks for being true and honest. We all appreciate it
Spent five years as a technician with babbitts sport center near silver lake sand dunes, from my hands on experience from 2012-2017 the design and execution of the machines were greatly improved while the build quality went down hill at the same rate. Replacing all the ball joints and bushings due to excessive play, blown out wheel bearings, worn secondary clutches and smoked primaries, consistent wire harness repair for injectors and tmap sensors, front differential failures left and right all within 800-1500 miles is unacceptable. They have the market covered on performance and apparently in this world that’s all it takes to put up with the poor build quality. Bummer on the new unit being so fragile, I feel your pain man.
What do think is the best brand for quality
YEZ BY Yamaha and Honda seem to have the best overall build quality and reliability
Love that place that were I bought my 17 ranger 900
I bought a brand new Highlifter 1000 spent first 3 months in the shop with repairs it was a Nightmare computer clutch and cams all shot zero run time I had the lemon of lemons and the motor has rattled form day one never seen such shoddy work and such poor design.
Randy Semroska yes it’s very sad that polaris claims to be the industry leader and builds sub standard products
Hope everything works out for you man. Sucks when shitty things happen to the honest good folks while the rich get ten richer. I as well as others really appreciate this review.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE VIDEO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS AND RESPONSES. was looking at this machine , the talon and X3. Since have found out that X3 guys complain about bending the suspension and how u need aftermarket stuff. Now this with the XP. Still doing research on all. Guess ill stick with my 2016 900S a lil longer. Solid overall machine. Honestly just wanted a better suspension.......
As a polaris tech I have always strongly advised against the brand for anyone that doesnt just have money to burn, the initial performance and user friendliness of the machines draws people to them but after even 20 hours on most of their machines the quality starts to show, all I can say is polaris is making a ton of money on the margins they have on parts and the machines themselves. Lol
I love Polaris and Can Am because I sell parts. I drive a Talon!
marshred LOL
That’s why I drive a Jeep. I sell parts as well and I’m not impressed with any of these golf carts
Same here marshred! I like some of the others, but I have a Talon 1000R, and I wouldn't change it for anything!
SMART MAN. Talon is well built
Have fun going slowwww
Good information, To the points and easy..I almost purchased this exact machine, in the end went with the Honda Talon....Thanks for the look from an owner's view.
Ray Horvath Productions you’ll definitely be better off with the talon on the reliability and durability side
there’s no way it has that much damage from a “3 mph” rollover
That’s what I thought too when it went over I thought ok no big deal don’t do that again and then it turned into an 11000 no parts to fix it nightmare
@@offroadfunz6094 Sorry, I'm not buying it. 3 mph is a brisk walking speed; IF you rolled it at walking speed (doubtful), it would not have done that much damage. As far as parts availability, yes it's maddening, but it's very common with a new model; it takes time for the parts supply chain to materialize. Greed? I don't know about that, but your point is well taken. The video is good in that it points out not only the parts availability (or lack thereof), but also the ridiculous pricing. But hey, that's no different than many vehicles on the market today. But 3 mph? Nope.
Gary don’t care if you believe it or not as i am still in disbelief myself at how poorly this thing is built
Gary also Polaris has basically unlimited resources they choose parts suppliers and place the orders for parts they choose to leave their customers out in the cold and that sir is bad business
Off road fun Z my “3 mph” rollover caused a 1 in crack in my finder flare. my other significantly faster rollover and slide probably going 17-20 mph ripped the rear fender off. still don’t understand how a “3 mph” rollover bent both radiators, destroyed all plastics on that side and bent frame.. very hard to believe
I have one and so far have not had any issues replacing parts if you go through Rocky Mountain ATV you will see OEM parts usually take 5-7 days to get and not that expensive. pays to do research. UTV's are expensive toys though. gotta pay to play.
Been riding off road for 40 years well aware that it’s an expensive hobby when my troubles began there was no oem parts available on Rocky Mountain or anywhere else for the xp pro except polaris and dealing with polaris is unpleasant at best
Just a nice honest video...I appreciate that!
DUNE YXZ I’m happy with my 2019 yxz love that thing
Jr Banshee I get it! I love my 2017! My buddy just bought a turbo 2019. I did a small video on it...
LOL!
I had the same thing happen with my RS1. My wife put it on it's side on memorial day 2019. I was told the frame was on back order and they (polaris dealer I purchased from) submitted a VDO (vehicle down order) a few days later I heard back from the dealership, there are no frames available they are on backorder, but we expect to have 1 for you by September 25 2019. Not sure when it actually came in but I picked my machine up October 25th.
It's out of your hands now, all you can do is wait. It sucks but it is what it is. If they are replacing the roll cage which they should. You might consider upgrading it since they are paying to replace it anyway. My .02 pennies. Hope it all works out! Sucks not knowing when it will be ready for action again. Good luck!
So did the actual 2inch frame bend? Or just the door? I just got mine today and i was pissed at the assembly of it. My buddy and I had to take a lot of the plastic off and reassemble it. The plastic in a lot of areas had gaps and you could tell that’s not where it was supposed to be. For some reason it died while we were riding it no clue why. Who should I email? Also, how did you wire your light bar up? Did you run the wires inside the frame?
Yes the frame bent and I’m in northern Ohio it landed in soft dirt just imagine what would happen out west in some rocky terrain the plastics on this machine are junk all of the mounting tabs snapped right off and the white pieces are 400$ each I’ve been a loyal Polaris customer for over 20 years my faith in the company and their products is gone I will never buy another Polaris you can call the owner connection customer service line but don’t expect much help and yes I ran the wires inside the cage
Look at the thickness of your frame tubes they make such a big deal about their 2 inch tubes but they’re so thin I don’t care what they’re made of they’re going to bend they claim to be the industry leader ha what a sad joke they used to be not anymore
Well I feel that I’m in that same bucket. Again, I don’t like the plastic or the doors on this thing and if the frame really is that weak then that’s pathetic. I’ve only got less than a mile on mine but had some clutch noise. Any noise that you’ve noticed?
Yes Polaris clutches are noisy as are all cvt clutches
Has your belt slipped? Feels like when I hammer it to the floor the belt slips
I flopped my Talon on side, straightened tabs, realign door...few scratches...all good..same deal...3 mph..
Carver13 funny a lot of you tube geniuses think it’s impossible to put one on its side going slow
@@offroadfunz6094, sorry to hear, I had my son, myself, spare tire rack & tire, normal turn n lightem, just flopped, so slow, I was so bummed, I broke one tab, found the ear, not the plastic yet lol. Bent tab, scratched, but no major, took off spare, working on relocating on rear, I totally feel for ya..
Has your talon held up?
3 miles a hour? This is a new production so of course it is going to cost more to get parts but I don't see how a rollover, especially at 3 mph destroyed radiators or the frame. I just see plastic damage. Another question. Why do you roll over so many rzrs? We have had rzrs all the way back to the 800 and then 900, 1000xp, 1000xp turbo dynamix, and now the 2020 Ultimate. We have never rolled one ever. Just turn into your insurance company and get it paid for and get something else. Of course you can't get parts when it is a new model and still in production and high demand. We love ours by the way. Much beefier suspension and a great ride so far.
It’s great that you’ve never rolled one here’s some good advice if you do roll one don’t roll the ultimate because it’ll fold like it’s made of eggshells
Park it on the railroad tracks and walk away! Boom new RzR
Maybe it’s to driver? Love mine no complaints here and I have tried to roll it jumped out done it all.
Put it on its side and see if you still love it
Wow! almost buy a Polaris!!!! lucky find this reviews... thanks for take this time to make this video
I have had the same " i don't care" attitude with Polokus customer service. I have no plans on ever buying Polaris ever again.
Gary Tyree loves the Polackus🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just had a similar roll over with similar damage to my 21 pro xp and was wondering if they welded new door brackets to the frame? Mine is going to the shop tomorrow.
The frame will have to be replaced it’s a very poor design
@@offroadfunz6094 did insurance pay to have the frame replaced? I keep reading online that they will just total it, if there is any damage to frame.
@@js21689 my insurance paid for a frame
@@offroadfunz6094 thanks for the help!
Same situation for my older xp1k. The whole rear, left side and right side fenders were destroyed from a small roll. Nothing has changed. Insurance quote was 15k for repairs. Same story as every rzr and x3. Not sure why some people here are siding with the x3. They're even worse and can-am is worse with customer satisfaction
my buddy rolled at 25 and it bent door mount and side plastic broke it looks more like you rolled alot faster then you claim and the radiator and intercooler wouldent be bent like that inless you crashed into something or yourolled on large rocks snyways hope you get it fixed and get back too ripping
Have you tried tuning the clutch to make the bottom end feel better?
Glad I saw this, thank you for posting!! I was just about to pull the trigger on this machine. Now, I’m gonna wait a year or two for Polaris to come clean, or, I might pull the trigger on that sweet new KRX . Either way, I’m not buying a first year machine...good luck man!
I'm grabbing the KRX in a couple weeks...... haven't seen any bad complaints on that machine...... a few people not picking some things but overall great reviews on that one
Update? Did you sell it what would you recommend I like the talon but I also like canam
If I was to buy another it would be the regular xp tutbo
Im 19, my 16year old friend drives a 2018 Ranger 570 EFI (With ProFit cab)...it shuts off when stopping (Once a front left axle broke after shifting to 2wd) and has all kinds of little problems, Never abused (No Mud, or anything)
This man just saved me 30k
I wish someone had done the same for me ☹️
So what are you going to buy ?
Put the $30k towards a Vette....or Shelby.....or Hellcat🤣🤣🤣🤣 these SXS’s aren’t worth HALF the retail💩
Brent Ferrell a vette or shelby won’t do well in the woods of course this polaris won’t either ☹️
Off road fun Z gorgeous ride tho...both your sxs’s are nice
You are the first person I've heard say the pro looks better than any of the previous models.
It looks better in person than in pictures or videos
Hahaha totally.
what kind of rear bumper is that?
sorry a lot of people don't believe your account of what happened, its sad it did'nt hold up better. Hopefully you can get it resolved and back on the trail without much money lossed. be safe!
Did you finally get parts
If so How long did it take?
That’s a tough break man. Good luck getting her right again.
Because the rzr have roll cages doesn't mean they are immune to damage. If YOU made it out alive the Roll Cage did what it was suppose to do!! It protected You.
Damage is expected when you hit something or roll it but too much damage for a light roll this thing is made of eggshells
I sold my rzr and jumped over to a Yamaha yxz1000r ,1200 miles in and not had a single fault, never going back to Polaris
I bought the last year or the2021 Polaris turbo s velocity edition. Have almost 2,000 miles on it and haven't had any issue with it yet other than service.
That’s sucks ... I don’t really like the xp pro body style , my 2019 xp4 is awesome.. I think people get stuck on horsepower numbers and forget about everything else ..
Yea ppl just want power and speed! My xpk is plenty and does everything I need! Yea ppl dont do there research
You may not like the body but there is a lot about the overall design that is good. I do agree however that many seem to just want the highest HP machine.
Jay P the design may be ok but the execution is poor
Did the same to mine. I have a 2019 xp4 turbo s. I put it on its side at low speed and the roll cage bent, both radiators needed to be replaced, because the brackets put terrible bends in them, it broke several clips and a mount to my front headlight. I understand its heavy but was disappointed in the strength of the roll cage.
Yes I don’t know what they’re thinking at Polaris I’ve been a loyal customer for over 20 years spent well over 100,000$ with them and they quite simply do not care about product quality or their customer..... sad
I'll stick with my cfmoto zforce 800ex. I've put that thing in its top and side going about 35. Flipped it over picked up the fender flares that are held on by plastic rivets and drove it for another 5 hours each time with no issues. Only paid 11k for it brand new....
Iam106racing I’d say most well built machines can handle a soft or moderate roll with minimal damage but not the xp pro
I flipped my 2010 polaris rzr and nothing happened, the door bent in a little bit but that was pretty easy to fix, I do believe as time goes on, they make them cheaper quality to get you to buy new machines and it's pretty bullshit that's the only thing keeping me from buying a pro xp
Same thing happened to me and the cost was just north of 14K with a 3 month finish date.
James Jargo hoooooolllly
Awesome machine. Rolled mine also, plastic mounts snapped like tooth pics. Exoskeleton going on this weekend.
Did you ever get your parts and answer?
sucks this happened, im wondering if you got a "bad one", ive seen people smoke trees going about 60, hit that same spot, frame still stood stright, they had a bent trailing arm mind you, and the plastics were mangled, but the frame was fine. is it a possibility you rolled on a rock?
It’s a possibility that sxs blog said the frame was fine but never showed it
We’re you in 4 wheel drive I was in my 900s 2019 at phsst just say 5mph turn to sharp an ripped back left fender off had plastic weld an ear back on it and bent door bar lol I just drove it up against a tree an put ratchet strap on bar an around tree an ratcheted the bar out until door could shut
Smart move on the insurance my buddy hit a perfectly place rock and messed up his oil drain causing it to leak and it did Frame damage ass well he was thinking they would total it out but they didn’t repaired the frame replaced the motor 11 k$ labor and parts done at dealer lot of people get these 18-30$k machines and don’t get insurance on them and do what he did and you did then there stuck with a shop bill they can’t pay good honest review man that’s one reason I didn’t get Polaris they are so big when you need them they don’t have time for you unless your buying another one I told the dealer few months back y’all don’t need any new customers if you can’t take care of the ones y’all already had
On a positive note.. It's pretty easy to fix low range power.. Polaris Definetly detunes the low range... Go with an aftermarket tune to get full power in reverse. They detuned low in all prior rzr turbos.. I hate my 19 turbo low range. Glad to hear the chassis does handle better
Easy to fix yes but shouldn’t have to spend 500$ for a programmer when they should tune it to run properly at the factory especially for 25k should be ready to run ....... thieves
@@offroadfunz6094 your not wrong.. But I can see 9/10 people who would mess stuff up with full power in low. Detuning them in low helps with making the driveline last. If/when superatv come out with a tune.. It should only be around 300.
thmike only 3 hundred is said way too often by off road enthusiasts 😩 maybe the manufacturers should offer a properly tuned machine as an option
Thanks for the honest review! Saw many running around at Camp Rzr and they didn’t look particularly fast or good, but I imagine the handling is great (my buddy who is a legit driver also said this). Seems like a lot of “cost averaging” of this new machine, for the price it should have nicer fit and finish, just looks kind of cheap for being “brand new wiz bang”. My buddy at a dealer says Polaris currently does not have axles in stock for these!
Polaris currently has pretty much nothing in stock for these
Never was a fan of Polaris, was looking at these the dealer ship yesterday while talking to the salesman about the numbers on taking ownership of a 2019 x3 xmr. Honda and recently can am have been surprisingly pleasant experiences with me.
I feel your frustration and pain. I have the 1st rzr 2008 RZR 800 and I have rolled it about 3 times. I drive it hard over logs, small trees and it still keeps on ticking. I have over 6,500 miles and still runs good. Quality has gone down hill ever since then. Keeping my 2008 RZR 800. As of Nov 2019 I still have the original belt on it and it still looks good. But it sure looks TINY sitting next to my girlfriends new 2017 Polaris 1000XP high lifter. LOL.
Don S yes the early models were very tough and much less expensive the new one is overpriced and under built
Guess Ill be keeping Old Faithfull now. my 2013 RZR 800 HO is going to be a keeper now...
How you roll over going 3mph?
big m bring your rzr over and I’ll show you
@@offroadfunz6094 😂😂😂
Wished I had one until I watched this. I'm going to buy a 17-19 used 1000xp for 10-12k$ and beat the piss out of it without worrying..man I'm sorry for what happened to your beautiful ride. Breaks my heart to see this new epic machine built like an egg. What a shame. Next step I would do after the repairs happen would be to exo cage it.
Just buy a x3, if the seating position bothers you they make kits for it.
moral of video... He can't drive.
Better than you cupcake
I understand wanting to maintain the stock configuration of a new machine, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be going back with stock, I’d be going back with metal body panels and wrapping the cage around to the front bumper for more security
Do most people get insurance to cover this sort of thing? I got insurance but just not sure if most do or not.
If you financed it the bank demands full coverage...
No they don’t my can am x3 rs max is being financed and they don’t require any type of insurance
can am same quality and consistent product year after year. polaris changeing every year I would wait a year or two before buying new products.
How do you like the Blackwater's on the RS1?
Darryl Blosser they are great highly recommend them
Sorry about what happen!!! But truly thank you 🙏 for your advice!!!
I just sold my poooolaris. And bought a can am. Pooooolaris cages are so cheap and the body work cracks so easy... can am for the win
Almost bought one but decided to go with Kawasaki krx 1000 looked at what you have and Honda Those Polaris have a better throttle response but I just thought I got lill more for my money with the Kawasaki krx like doors bead locks thanks for the review honest review need more of them !
Did you ever get the parts?
Your complaint about the turbo lag under 20 mph is legit, but you can’t really compare falls the way you do in the vid. No two falls are are same and I had a proper multiple roll dune accident on my pro Xp where there wasn’t even a scratch.
You got lucky cause everyone else that has had an incident with the pro agrees with me that its far to fragile for an off road vehicle
Off road fun Z that’s very surprising to know. I’ll look into this! Nonetheless thanks for the vid!
Rs1 same deal if you roll. Front to back on its side light roll. Every PC plastic and back rack and roof shattered, frame PCs twisted. End of day they belong on all fours but when it happens, 11g to fix plastics etc is redicilous.
Martorious Martuzzi #44 agree should keep it on all 4 wheels but a low speed roll over on soft dirt should not be close to 11k in damage polaris quality and durability is in the toilet
@@offroadfunz6094 I hear you, our roll was on very slow speed into soft dirt and was shocked at how much damage it caused, I got rid of it right after. But sure loved how that rs1 rode.
Martorious Martuzzi #44 yes rs1 is awesome and actually built much better than the pro I’m keeping both I’ll just have to adjust my riding style
Wow, Thank you for this video. I was literally about to spend 30K on this machine. My concerns have been answered in your video. I guess I'm going to go look at the Kawasaki KRX this week. It's the next one on my list. I like the Talon but I have concerns about the tire size and how it will handle on the trails with larger tires. Kawi looks pretty tough though.
Michael Bush I’d probably stay away from the pro it’s just to fragile
Yeah man trading my yxz1000r for the KRX in a couple weeks..... been researching the shit out of them...... and barely any complaints on those...... a few people nitpicking but nothing major..... I was eyeballing the Polaris but way to many complaints on them
Aside from rolling the machine they are not fragile at all.
@@trevorbraden5448 did you bought the KRX? If you did, how has it been so far?
@Armando I did and the thing was a straight Cadillac very roomy and a definite work horse in the trails....people call them cheat code like Nintendo 😀...... but I traded it for the Can Am RC RR....and performance wise Was much better but not so much on visibility and comfort.....The KRX was definitely a stellar machine in my opinion
This one has a 64" width right? Do you think that's why it rolled so easy?
It is 64” it’s actually pretty stable the point of the video is not that it rolled but the substantial damage from a light roll over in soft dirt
Got ya....that’s a shame but I’m glad the machine runs well!
Great video...The exact reason I sold my 2018 rzr turbo is they are way too top heavy. I put mine on its side the fist day I owned it. Sold it last year for a 2019 x3.The rzr is a not even close to the x3 in every way...except for the blind spots. I can live with that knowing it won't roll on corners.
Holy crap!!,
You may have just changed my mind!
Send this video to sxsblog Lots of wildcat xx rollovers and the doors still open
david payce sxsblog is bought and paid for by polaris and others
I had similar issues with Polaris help phone, my 2015 sportsman 1000xp kept catching stuff on fire, debris collecting on the muffler caught fire numerous times, the fenders caught fire from the muffler, then the front differential input bearing plate exploded, then voltage regulator catches fire, then 3 more after the first voltage regulator caught fire, so most I've seen outta Polaris is a heat sheild update kit, that's the only thing Polaris has done with all my bikes issues, oh wait, it also spits out brake pads,, ya that's safe right. Polaris has the right price, awesome machines with all the bling and fancy features you could ever ask for... BUT.... they dont build quality products and they DONT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY BUILD. If you get hurt they're only concern is if there's gonna be a lawsuit. I'm in the market for a new high end snowmobile and I really like what Polaris offers, but I know I'd be even more STUPID to buy another Polaris. YAMAHA OR SKIDOO OR IM WALKING, FUCK IT.
Polaris quality control has always been suspect from day one. I will never buy from this company. The ride is generally excellent but breakage and maintenance is always out of control.
For everything? To be honest i have two 2016 Sportsman 570s (for my lady and me) and i have zero issues with them, i only have 1200 trail miles on them but so far so good, Winter in 10s and Summer in 90s and they ride good. I got an XP Pro ultimate based on that experience so i hope it at least as good as the quads....
Bill B They sell 3x as many machines as any other company so you hear more because they sell a lot more
Im 19, my 16year old friend drives a 2018 Ranger 570 EFI (With ProFit cab)...it shuts off when stopping and has all kinds of little problems, Never abused always Serviced at expensive af Polaris service (No Mud, or anything)
@@cameronwilson4782 Yeah they do, but they don't back up their product!!
Never buy the first year on anything
Yes probably a mistake but it would take a complete rework to fix the weak points on this machine and I really doubt if polaris will spend the time and money to rework a brand new design so just a warning to prospective buyers they may want to consider a different machine cause the xp pro is bad news
And based on my experience so far with polaris customer service they are quite content ripping off their customers and not supporting their product
@@offroadfunz6094 so why you buy it man?
I just sold my rzr and going to order x3.
I'm sorry you are despondent from the machine.
for me polris lost it many years ago.
omri wahabi didn’t know it was built so poorly until after I bought it
@@offroadfunz6094 that's sucks man.
in my country it will cost you 56k!!!
Sold my Polaris 4 seater for same reasons. May get a Talon like Bryant😎
Had to have been doing more than 3 mph for the damage you described
That’s what I thought too when it went over my initial reaction was ok no big deal I’ll just get it back upright and be on my way that’s the point of the video Polaris claims this is the best and strongest rzr they’ve ever built and I can tell you for sure it cannot even survive a low speed roll over on soft dirt without major damage it’s garbage the old rzr xp was much more robust in my personal experience
@@offroadfunz6094 Cage didn't looked damaged, plastic that has 1800lbs crush it isn't going to hold up from any manufacturer. I keep reading your replies and really think you should consider selling your SxS's as there is no current model that wont take on damage from a roll over. Over maybe you need a custom exo-cage if you plan to keep flipping these on their side and or roofs.
FRANK RUSS you’re either part of the problem or part of the solution you frank are not part of the solution defending poor quality and poor business practices does nobody good
@@offroadfunz6094 I'm simply stating there is not a machine out there that will not have damage in the event of a roll over period. Plastic isnt meant to be crushed or bear weight. The way you come off in the video is literally making all these people think that a Polaris is garbage because you rolled yours and it got damaged. All your replies are basically calling Polaris straight trash. They didnt build these to be rolled, however they did build them to protect you in the event of a roll. No different then car manufacturers making crumple zones to absorb impact. Will you say a Ford is a piece of crap if you hit a wall and the frame collapses as it's designed for your safety? The Polaris kept you safe when you rolled it over doing whatever you were doing. It got damaged because you rolled it, not because it's a crappy unit. You are the problem, blaming a manufacturer for your inability to control a unit doing 3mph lol. Like I stated maybe you should find a new hobby friend. You have to pay to play. I would be thankful you walked away uninjured.
FRANK RUSS you can think what you want I’ve been riding off road for 40 years I’ve been a dealership technician for 30 years I know the difference between a well built machine and poor quality if you want to defend poor quality and bad business practices feel free but after all is said and done of course damage is expected from a crash but 11k from a low speed roll is too much I don’t know what you ride or if you ride but apparently you’re living in a different world than me
Good video man. Thanks for the insight 👍
That suck Polaris has been really good to me see if you can get ahold of corporate. They are really good about stuff like that
I’ve been talking with a manager in owner connection and I might as well talk to the wall absolutely no concern for customer satisfaction you’re the first person to say they’re good
Wow. Thanks for the info.
In hindsight at least they built good clutches..... wait.....never mind
i was torn on buying one of these been a polaris guy for years so when i bought my first can am x3 i was kinda question the buy but after im glad i did ride so much better handles better better mpg way better build tham any popo ive had
I traded my turbo rr for a 2021 pro xp and can personally promise you, you made a mistake
Yes I did the same exact thing only it was the passenger side, not up on the roof! I found you can’t get many parts yet here either, I did get the front fender plastics not the rear
Yeah good luck on the rear fender and how about the price of their crappy plastic? They are certainly proud of the junk they’re producing these days
Phil of the Outdoors if you really want to feel bad about your decision to give polaris your hard earned money try calling the owner connection customer service line .... one word sums it up..... INCOMPETENCE
LOL, yah I called when I started having the issue with the belt slipping in High gear, and they just said I can take it to a dealer for a "soft inspection", I think that is how she phrased it, regardless it is sad that you pay a large sum of money and there these kind of issues right at the start. However, I still love this thing, super fast, nimble, will climb some stuff I didn't think was possible, I'm just going hope that I don't roll it again, or it may become a rock buggy!
Phil of the Outdoors yeah I ordered the aftermarket assassins secondary spring and primary shim supposed to be here tomorrow funny polaris claims the Xp pro was field tested more extensively than any vehicle they’ve ever produced and yet they still have stupid,preventable problems my faith in polaris as a company is gone
I know, I especially agree when it come to the exterior pieces, I had to pull the top door mount over 2 inches and the hinge had to be adjusted as well from a light roll over. I'm a welder/fabricator, not a great one, but understand how something can be made stronger and still be lighter, those pieces probably should be gusseted better just to start, that probably doesn't cover what has happen to yours, but that's just what I see on mine.
CRAP, That sucks! How did you damage the radiator at 3 mile per hour without the front end being smashed? I wish you would of taken pictures of your roll over...Sorry for your loss!!!!
Our 2016 RZR turbo has cost over 15 K in repairs with there junk they build. My 2016 Yamaha YXZ has been a rock star. Can you say class action suit for the crap Polaris sells
Yeah maybe going three-irty miles an hour.
This over hyped under built machine incurred 11k in damage at a very low speed roll if it was 30 mph as you suggest it would most certainly be totaled and in the scrap pile where it came from
I've been a loyal polaris fan sence I seen the first polaris that was sold in Oklahoma I've had a lot over the years
I currently own 5 now my good friend purchased a can am x3 about a year ago and it has me thinking about making a change he goes everywhere I go and after a few hours hes ready to keep going when my son and i are ready for a nap and a Massage we have 2 rzr s that are identical twins Polaris had better play catch up real quick or I know a guy that's getting 2 new X3s
Oh dude.......sorry to hear that. I will stick with my rzr 1k but i love that rs1 you have
I can’t lie I was comfortable with my 19 turbo s even at high speeds but the new 22 pro xp scares me 😂
This is true just happened to me yesterday I barely flipped it on its side and broke a axel the arm control and the doors plastics everything broke Frame got little weird (xp4) pro
those radiators leak??? bent isn't good but if it doesn't leak use it
They don’t leak yet but they are pushed together and rubbing on each other only a matter of time I think I’m going to pull them out and see if I can straighten them out some because the clueless people at Polaris have no idea where my new ones are or when they’re coming terrible company
That sux. I also would question 3mph. Mines only 18 turbo but it's only 15 bucks a month full coverage through geico. Sounds a lot easier. They took care of 7k on my 4 wheeler no questions asked.
Might be cheaper than that. Just looked. 28.99 next month for 19 Outlander 1000r xtp , 19 renegade xmr 1k, and 18 rzr turbo. Full coverage. This whole thing would have only cost you 500 bucks.
Keep her on at least 2 wheels bro! I know...it's hard and not as fun but damn!
3miles an hour ? What you got in your yard a cliff or rock wall dude we sent the x3 on its side only because we hit a tree root and caught the rim
Yeah you would think but no just kinda flopped over at low speed in soft dirt and did all that damage I still can’t get parts and im still very sad and dismayed that I spent all that money on a machine that is absolutely not off road capable I don’t care who you are you ride off road long enough sooner or later you’ll have an unexpected accident and these machines should be robust enough to handle the minor ones without sustaining 11000$ in damage
That's a good reminder never ride one without insurance
I bought the 2019 Turbo S4. Thankfully, I haven't noticed any of the power drop in low gear that you described. I've tried to be as careful as possible with it while still pushing it to the limit and having some fun. Haven't rolled it, yet.. but came damned close on a desert dirt road while taking a turn too fast and not applying power. I hope to never go through what happened to you. And I hope my model doesn't have the engineering issues that the new one apparently has. I live in California - here we have a ton of BS emissions regulations. Off road vehicles are registered with a "green sticker" or a "red sticker". Green, you can ride anywhere all year. Red, there are restrictions. ATVs have all been green stickered, until.. 2020. Now, all new ATVs are red stickered. I bought at the right time, and would never have bought the 2020 RZR just for the emissions. Plus I prefer a 4 seater. Wishing you good luck - your video has been very helpful! Sorry for what you're going through though..
What a disgusting bunch of politicians you have there...And for the yang you got glamis dunes and the mountains...UGH!
Luckily, there's still plenty of national forest and BLM land that hasn't been touched by the evildoers yet. The eastern Sierra Nevada high desert and Nevada is the place to go. I do know of Glamis, but it's 600 miles away from me.. it does look like a sweet place to ride though.
I feel bad for you man but thanks for posting this. Who would have ever thought your video would go viral with almost 40,000 views! I bet if Polaris would have known this from the start they might have overnighted the parts from the assembly line to avoid all the bad publicity. Truly shows what a dirt bag company they are.
Jp 1990 they really have no regard for customer satisfaction if they did they would never release the product to the public with absolutely no product support available no replacement parts at all finally after 6 weeks the parts are starting to arrive after about 20 phone calls to polaris the self proclaimed industry leader should be better than that it’s not like they don’t have the capacity to have replacement parts available at product release they leave their customers hanging by choice very poor business practices
That's the game to owning a toy.
I have a can am maverick x3. I never want to roll my over for this reason

True, that is the game to owning a toy. But, these are $$25,000+ “toys”!!
They are supposedly built to withstand the riggers of the off road and in some degree they are. Sadly, in many ways they aren’t!
They should last at least the lousy 6 month warranty period. These aren’t exactly toys anymore. They are 2,000 pound, 100-200 horsepower, $$20-30,000
Offroad vehicles!!
Polaris, and some other manufacturers, are cutting costs by using inferior parts, metals, and plastics.
Many of the parts are made cheaply in China and Mexico. For the parts in these machines, they are overpriced!
Now if I could buy a machine and it held together for 6 months to a year, then maybe the price would be better in range.
Here is a great example;
Why is it when a part wears out or breaks in a short period of time, and you replace it with an aftermarket part made by a company much smaller than Polaris, that part lasts 3-10 times longer than the OEM part??
These large companies like Polaris use us as their R&D department.
@@70GTODAN my friend roll over his SXS. Minor damage. Insurance said it will cost $11,000 to repair. I was like dammmmm. Nothing looks wrong but some Plastic damage
Man that sucks! I have been looking at getting a new Rzr pro xp now I have some concern. I see you live Ohio what part. I live in Northeast Ohio.
I’m in chardon and I would not buy one if I were you
@@offroadfunz6094 Thanks for the info! I live about an hour away near Canfield Ohio. How do you like the Rs1? I have a Ranger now and I am looking at adding a sport unit to my garage. Been looking at Polaris, Can am x3 ,and Honda.
The rs1 has been great my buddy has a 2019 rzr turbo that is great I’d just stay away from the pro it’s really junk I’ll be posting a new video soon because the sad story continues
@@offroadfunz6094 Yeah I was thinking about the Rs1 but I want a little more power and want to take my kids with me sometimes. Glad I seen your video I was set on getting the new rzr. Back to the drawing board Lol. Maybe we can go riding sometime when I get my sport unit. Thanks again!
UTV DIRT absolutely let’s get together
11K In damages!!! I just got rod knock in my 2013 XP900 and a complete engine rebuild isn't even half of that. We are looking to buy a second RZR and when the Pro came out I loved it! Then I test drove one in glamis and hated the way it sat. Poor vision compared to the older models and if the frames are as awful as this seems then 2019 Turbo here I come lol
Tony Damjanov you should probably stay away from the pro it’s very poorly built
Bro! That happened to my friend once after he got stuck in 6 feet of snow at the top of the mountain.
Pretty brave to post this video. Gonna have the polaris princess come out. For sure gonna hear u were not doing 3mph
No way he was doing 3mph I'm a firm believer don't buy anything 1st year either there's always bugs with shit i totally could get with the 3mph thing until there's radiator damage instantly calling bullshit seeing that if it was that slow amd he landed on top how the fuck did he damage radiators he's not telling ya something honest my ass
I am going to assume he was exaggerating how slow he was going to make a point. I have a Polaris Pro XP and I don’t think you can make it go 3mph. So I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he really meant he was going ‘slow’ and that happened.
@@jelias999 I'm not a Polaris fan by any means but I challenge anybody in the comments section to try to roll a machine going 3 miles an hour no Hills involved
Joshua Elias I wish it was bull but it’s not I was surprised at all the plastic damage and dismayed at the frame damage but seeing the radiators were destroyed after such a minor roll removed any remaining doubts that this machine is an off road capable unit it is a very fragile delicate flower
Dan Matz I’ve done it
So your insurance is going to pay?
Ross Martin yes
Polaris service has such a bad rap. Sorry to hear it
Appreciate the honest info. Thanks!
No insurance?
