It's KAWASAKI TIME!
I was wondering if you guys would be getting one
Time to put a turbo on it
Kawasaki has had this cvt set up on there teryx line for many years and it is already proven itself. I just replaced my belt at 4400 miles. I wish they did a slightly smaller 60” sport machine. Anyway look forward to seeing you guys hit some good tech trails with it.
YES!!
SXSBlog.com yess!!!!
It’s Great to see you guys back at the Battleground where it all started.
We'll be there more doing some testing when it warms up.
So happy about the return visit to home! Nothing like home!
Been racing against this unit this winter in the CSRA snowcross events. Super impressed with the handling of the unit and overall performance. The Kawi placed first overall for the season beating out all the Turbo units with a very talented driver. Nice to0 see ya's got ahold of one for us to see put through the paces. Cheers boy's
KRX aaaand Battle grounds!! This just boosted my immune system.
+20 immunity boost
Finally they got a KRX YESSSSSSSS THE FIRST KAWASAKI ON THE CHANNEL
I know! Took us to long.
And it’s a turd lmao
Alex Brand why? Cause it’s heavier and doesn’t have as much HP as other SXS?
jbw5485 I mean yea? And they practically are made of plastic they break so easily
Alex Brand I think your talking abt Polaris
Almost to 150K! Ive really enjoyed seeing this channel grow. All the best to you guys.
Thank you very much, David.
"Cause that's the way it works" and"master of low power machines"i swear doug has a classic 1 liner bout every video lol.
Doug was on one that day 😆
Lmao!
They forgot to mention you can shift in and out of 4wd on the fly at any speed with the KRX.
really like the plastics , kinda reminds me of a trophy truck.
Good looking unit!! So so Happy to see the Battlegrounds again. Didn't think I would miss it that much but I do. Great work Gents!!
Picked mine up Tuesday and broke it In Sunday and I got to tell ya I was not disappointed in one bit..... it is a bad ass machine ........ I traded my yxz1000r for one..... and no regrets
saved the green machine for st paddy's day ftw
Slainte!
Hell yeah brothers. 6 minutes in and we have the Battlegrounds and Battledad all at once = Win.
That’s the same unit I beat on at King Of The Hammers Kawasaki Demo!!! 🤣 actually it was fun...definitely more room in that car than the Polaris!!! Steering feels a little loose but still fun!
Haha I hope it is that one!
Doug has blessed us this morning thank you👌
The one I've been waiting for thanks guys. Havnt even watched it yet but I'm excited.
Hope you enjoy it!
I work at a Powersports dealer in CA and have driven every SXS on the lot.
The Kawasaki KRX 1000 has great suspension that is dialed in right out of the box. We drove them last month in the Angels Stadium for the dealers demo day. Power is lacking hard, no butterflies in your stomach when you smash the gas like an X3.
Overall suspension is dialed but needs a turbo to keep up with others.
every time you get the POV cam and you guys go over a jump, your body barley moves at all. This is an extremely smooth going unit! And its a kawasaki?? shitttttt. Great video guys!
Great video, really looking forward to more KRX content and mods. It would be really interesting to see a comparison between the KRX and Talon in stock form and with the aftermarket turbo kits in the future. Not everyone needs a 200+hp machine but I think a lot of people would like a NA machine that can be upgraded if the need and budget allow in the future.
Might be interesting to see a series with budget builds with some older used machines. Best bang for your buck etc. I know you don't have an endless budget, just an idea.
Also really happy to see the battle grounds again now that the weather is starting to get better. Keep it up!
Finally!! Lol been waiting on the honest opinion
We're here with it, and will have more on it!
It's funny you always here people talk about how it's too heavy and underpowered and they never even been in one...... I can't stress enough that this machine is no slouch..... it is a beast..... I traded my yxz1000r for one and have no regrets ...... best decision I ever made ....... no disrespect to the yxz1000r though I loved it also...... but right out the factory the KRX is very impressive....... we took ours to Haspin acres Indiana and it was raining all day Saturday we went Sunday and it was sloppy and a muddy mess but the KRX had no problem going through any of it ...... I absolutely love this machine
They only repeat what they hear the others say. They have no idea how ridiculous they sound to those of us who actually own and drive a KRX. LOL
Been waiting for this even though I have a Polaris🤙🏼
It's ok, we won't tell the other Polaris guys 😉😆
Full Send Outdoors same!
It’s a good looking unit! Maybe SXS Blog buys one and..... first turba KRX???
DOUG!An aggressive clutch and a Turbo!Needs to happen ASAP!
I really like the commentary from the driver of the unit, really gives off the whole idea of the machine.
We begged and you listened thanks guys cant wait to see all the things you do!
Great video. The Kawi gives off a 'trophy truck' vibe.
battledad always gets the like lol
Another good video! If I hadn't just bought a new Talon I'd look real hard at the KRX! By the way, that Tornado about 50 seconds in looks a whole lot like an old Lincoln Continental! lol
I didn't rewatch but I thought the same thing about the Lincoln. Lol
Edit: roughly 1977 ish, rewatched
I’m pretty sure you made the right choice!
@@mzwak2001 Well, so far I'm pretty happy, but after $1500 to get the suspension tolerable, $700 for a skid plate, $600 for bead locks and another $600 for decent tires, all of which comes stock on the KRX, it does make one pause!!
Nick “lets she how she runs on the top end” Sous hahaha love it!
This feels like a good to be home video. You guys hit the nail on the head
Dougie still rocking the kenworth jacket from the truck stop lmao
Kenworth jacket ain't goin nowhere
@@SXSBlog shes a classic!
The KRX looks like it handles well around the gauntlet! Nice to see that machine do well and hold its own. Kawasaki makes awesome bikes, so I'm glad they carried that into their SXS. Nice review!
Very cool review, I can see this being an unbelievable trail machine for where I am in upper Michigan. Thanks again and be safe.
Finally! Definitely a cool lookin rig.
Definitely seen worse.
@@SXSBlog i definitely agree.
thats really what he said...howd i look...that sums him up right there
Awesome video!! The KRX is a Tank!! Now that yall have one.. we know it will get pushed to its limits. 💪
I always feel like something's wrong when Doug does the "ahhhhhh" after laughing 🤣
Gotta love it, when it’s a slow SxS that’s on loan from a dealership, it gets called a pleasure to be able to flatfoot it and not have to worry about the speed getting you into trouble. Like being slow is now a plus??? And yet the Wildcat got bashed on a daily basis for not being as fast as the turboed machine. And yes, I am one of this Wildcat owners that love their 1000x. Never had an issue other than having to install the rack and pinion steering from 715 Wildcat riders. It’s expensive but now it like butter. 72mph stock is fast enough for me on my Wildcat. I saw a few videos that only have the KRX at 62 actual mph top speed. Now that’s slow for a 2020 1000cc powered SxS.
Kawasaki called Polaris and asked, "so SXSBlog.com.....they good?" Polaris replies "yeah man, but don't expect to get the demo unit back in 'original condition', hahaha Tough Break!" 110 boys.
They say "Hey buds, can you test this machine?"
We test em, we test the heck out of em.
@@SXSBlog Gotta put them to a thorough test. And we get to watch and be entertained, win/win overall. Also its fun to see the channel growing so well. Y'all been busting your butts for years for it, keep it up!
Great review that thing looks real smooth on jumps and all
Super smooth!
LET'S GOOOOOO!!! That Kawi looks clean👍🏻
I am a lot more impressed about this unit after watching this video. Looks like a smooth ride.
I was so excited for this video, I have been a polaris guy my whole life and when this came out I was really interested. Comes stock with a lot of great features that polaris and other brands don’t. Carnivores, full doors, metal skid plate, roof, ect. For my style of riding which is a lot of trail riding and hill climbing I think this is going to be perfect for me! Great video guys, thank you!
You guys have every sxs on the market but the wildcat xx you sold. I bought one from watching your videos and it’s a shame you sold it. Wish you woulda gave it the love you give the rzrs and x3s got over 3,000 miles on mine with zero issues. Still love the show guys.
Unfortunately just had too many problems, nobody was happy about it here either
SXSBlog.com yea that’s a shame. maybe you gotta get a new 2020 and try it again. Keep up the good work boys! Haven’t missed a episode from the beginning and don’t plan miss any in the future!
I agree we all know the x3 needs some lovin in the chassis department to be dependable wish the blog would have put more into the xx.
Sucks there’s so many people that love there xx’s myself included I beat mine just as hard as sxsblog did and no problems,I was so bummed they sold it , but if my motor blew as soon as there’s I probably would of sold it what I don’t understand is you never hear the yxz’s blowing motors so why have a few people experienced engine failures.
Great seeing the krx review....wether or not you keep the machines reviews on new machines are awesome to watch. you can really tell when you've got the krx floored unlike other machines...but I was pretty impressed how after a jump the wheels didnt bounce and how smooth the landings and over all ride looked. Ty gents
A real e brake. It’s the little things. Great video I can’t wait to see some power put to these machines. I just can’t give my turbo yet. Keep up the good work.
I like the onboard commentary while driving! Cool addition to the channel. I'm working my way up from a yr ago to current vids. Good stuff guys!
If you come to Utah again you should go to Little Sahara sand dunes. It’s only a few hours from Moab and it has Sand Mountain which is more then double the size of China Wall in Glamis.
Love the look.If they drop a version biased toward higher speed riding I would be very interested in one.
Compared to others, the unit just looks alot slower then others but looks good
Y’all should to do a co-lab with v-force John on the performance upgrades
Yea he just did a clutch and tune which made it fast. V Force John is the Kawi guru for sure!
Yes they been out a while, but at least we get a honest best down opinion on the machine! Haven’t even watched the vid yet.
About time my boys. Seen the turbo unit for this thing AWESOME. glad you guys like it.
great to see the krx on the track I got one back in December I have been watching for a few months nice to here good things about the Kawasaki I have been to the desert and to the mountains very happy with performance it took everything I could throw at it and then some the harder you drove the more it liked it could not be happier with it the wife even drives the shit out of it keep up the great videos cant wait to see what you guys can put through I will keep watching Galaxy Street Rods out of California
Sunroof implies it opens moonroof implies it stays closed so it’s a moonroof boys.
(Say in The Rock's voice)Finally... The Blog has come back to the Battlegrounds!
I think youl are gonna love the KRX
So far... Good time.
You’ll should race the KRX against the talon and some other machines
I'm very glad to see you guys testing the KRX. Very impressive machine. There's a lot still left on the table with that engine. I bet it'll really wake up with a turba.
Finally. Now you guys have the perfect machine if you ever head back out to Moab! That's the stuff it was built for. 180 HP means nothing in the rocks.
That’s a great machine! Kawasaki makes tuff machine!!👍🏽
Looks really tough! Looking forward to some crawling action
We're looking forward to trying it out!
I was almost disappointed in the machine when you first started ripping it around. Just seemed like a pretty big slouch. The gauntlet laps saved it though. Looks like a fun machine
I thi k we're just used to seeing the highly nodded machines tearing it up on the gauntlet.
It's great that Lenardo gives Sous a hard time.....spices things up and makes them try harder. Keep it up boys.
Best looking machine on the market by far just missing a supercharger
I loved seeing you guys back at the Battlefield. Despite being a lifetime Honda fan, I really like the looks of that Kawi! It's an awesome looking machine and looks like a blast to drive!
From the videos it appears to be much quieter in the cabin that most others engine noise suspension ect. Where does it fall in comparison.
Thank you for another amazing review.
Now we just need Yamaha to step with a demo yxz for you guys. Great job. Keep em coming.
Yeah we need a new Yami in our life
Very excited to see info on this unit!!!! I have a can am Defender but i have been looking at a new sporty x3, razer,talon, and kawsaki. Awesome to see
KENNDOGG74 X3 all the way
Front A arm bushings will start to squeak like crazy. Installed aftermarket within a month in mine. Body roll is easily adjustable
Really excited to see your guys content with this machine, think it'll be the one I buy. Looking forward to updates!
Hey guys let's see what the krx will do with an exhaust and a reflashed ecu. Let's get those limiters removed!!!
This machine seems to be what I’d hoped the XX would be. I’m curious to see how dependable it’ll prove to be but it looks pretty impressive so far.
Man my son loves his 2016 Teryx 2 800 and has only had a battery change other than maintenance 💪Strong as an ox and has a tilt bed on it❤️👍
im one of the guys that's been bugging u back teryx 4 but now 1000 nice becarse i trust what u say about it thanks guys love your videos
Leo outdid Sous man... Right from the gate... Hammer time
Pancake head was awesome!!! Ripppppp it to shreddddddzzzz! Just giving her some abuse! WOW
Kawasaki just getting started. They will produce a racer . If its like most things Kawasaki does It will be near or on the top as far as power and performance .
Love the look of these KRXs. Very aggressive looking. Let's see how she performs boys.
We'll put er to the test no doubt
Already sending it off the trailer.. hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Love the new KRX though!!
How else do you get a new machine off the trailer 🤷♂️
@@SXSBlog Don't think I have any better ideas, sending it is always the answer!
Every video i bow my head at the end and let doug do his blessing lol.
Been waiting for this! W00t
If the KRX is good enough for Jeremy "SHOWTIME" McGrath, it's good enough for me!!! Great video guys 👍 you never cease to amaze me! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nearing 150k heck yeah dude
Waves hand about halfway up the machine “looks like you should be good up to bout here before potentially getting water in the cvt”
Cvt: “I’m done for”
🤣
Every time I see Doug wearing the kenworth jacket I think of the wild horse jackets
So sounds like you’re opinion has changed from when you did the live broadcast show. I’m excited to see how it does on the trails being a little bit bigger unit. Keep up the great work boys best show on TH-cam.👍👍👍
I'm personally still not excited about it but it's a good solid machine that'll hopefully perform well
A Kawalski finally boys👍 Just ripped the heck out of it😁
Stay healthy boys😷
Epic, i was About to comment on your last video why you guys haven’t touched the new Kawasaki it’s a good looking machine it’s not going to compete with a turbo rzr but give the talon a run for it’s money.
Yeah it's a good Talon R competitor.
Been looking forward to this video!!!
Y'all need to visit Windrock and Brimstone in Tennessee with that unit.
Jeffrey Seckinger I agree that thing would do amazing down here in the south. With all the hills and climbing.
4”too wide for Brimstone. I think
SLICKETTS we’ve took jeeps to brimstone with slight door scratching but it’s definitely not too big for brimstone
Collin the trails we were on had big stones and concrete poles that we just wide enough to get a 64”RZR through. Big sign that said no jeeps. Must have been different trails
Tennessee Kentucky ride HELL YEAH BROTHER Seriously loved seeing y’all back home for a second still excited about the new place too. Can’t wait to see the new track in the summer. Great video guys.
7:06 my f150 twin. Black lariat silver pinstripe fx4. Great truck
Finally the Kawasaki!!
I was able to demo one of those units at koh. It was really fun, but my 2 complaints are the steering wheel seems very slick and I'm also not a fan of how high the brake pedal is in compared to the height of the throttle pedal. The amount of visibility behind you on those is crazy too compared to the x3.
Nice vid! Ya guys need an in-helmet mic like Bullittoutdoors
I’ve been waiting to see what you guys think about the KRX. I would love to hear your honest opinion on how the Kawi compares to the Talon. I just turned 50 and I’m not so much into the speed as I once was, so a turbo is not a necessity for me. Although I must say I drove a Pro XP and was wowed. I ride exclusively in central WV so a beefy reliable unit is what I need.
I have only seen one at my local track and it looked like it dis decently well. I was then wanting to know what the boys thought of it! The day has finally come!
Always great to see you deal with a new SXS
Excited to see y'all with a KRX! Keep those vids coming. Great job!
You guys should get a YXZ SS SE
