Papa, first the good, I love hauling butt in any terrain and there is nothing better than having a machine that allows you push it to the max of your driving abilities. From a former off road racer and retired LEO there is a fine line of what we do in our rigs. I have a Turbo S and yes I put it to the edge as often as I can, the difference I see from your videos is the risks you are taking as you blast through trails with so many blind spots. There is no way you will be able to stop if a small child on a small quad drives into your path at your speeds. Over the years I have seen so many serious injuries that were life threatening. Almost every single one could have been prevented. Serious accidents that could have been prevented is what will shut down riding areas and this hobby. What if that Can-Am you hit was a small kid? Again don't take this as a major bashing but as a concerned off road enthusiast just trying to get you to see the flip-side of the driving style seen in your videos. Please open that beast up for sure but in areas you know what is and what could end up in your path. That open beach run was sweet ...... and much safer!
I definitely agree with you! Most of the hard riding in trails we have spotters or we are on radios. Luckily when we hit the can am we were going slow on the trail ride. He wasn't going very fast either and it happened to be the worst possibly timing to be in a blind corner. This is why we normally save the trails for night riding when you can at least see lights in the distance. As much as it's a dangerous sport, we try to stay as safe as possible with radio gear or spotters that run ahead of us. It would be awesome if somehow they could have trails marked for one way riding!! I have a 4 seater and always have my kids with me. I will never lead a trail ride for safety reasons!
@@PapaWheeliesWorld Great to hear. I only chimed in because some people don't take those precautions and serious accidents happen. If I missed your disclosure that you do that in your video I am sorry. If it wasn't mentioned by you and shown I know people that check your videos out just might learn something and think twice about their safety and the safety of others when we hit the trails. If just one accident could be prevented that could be the one where everyone doesn't end up okay and heaven forbid a child passes away. There are a number of OHV parks that have directional trails and I believe it absolutely helps on reducing head-on while on the trails. You see it on tight single track motorcycle trails and like at Pink Coral Dunes in Utah they have a KILLER WASH trail you can really rip on. Anyways, love the video and keep enjoying the toy and sharing your info!! :)
@@MrMSScott Holy smokes I totally agree.. I am riding with 7, 9 and 11 year olds and i have the EXACT same concerns. TBH, the oregon dune entrances have been overly populated with no restrictions and has become super dangerous to all types of riders. We need to acknowledge the proliferation of RZR's recently and adapt. Everything is getting faster as the machines get better.. People are more dangerous on these machines because they are more capable. Human capability is not advancing as fast. In the open dunes i dont care... but in the entrance areas there needs to be control.
Great Video. We've had a turbo'd RZR now for 8 years. We ride the dunes with paddles quite a bit. The biggest downside and what I'd consider the weakest link has been the belt. We have not been able to rally for very long in the dunes with paddles without blowing belts. We ride really hard and put the stock turbo to it's limit as much as possible. Watching your video here it's obvious that you guys ride the same. You mentioned briefly that you can't even smell the belt when going 75-80 mph for a long time. That is amazing if that's true. When you're in the dunes with paddles on, have you ever blown a belt with the way you guys drive? Honestly, I haven't upgraded my turbo RZR (it's 2016) because the belt is still the weak link or maybe I'm wrong?? Thanks in advance!!
Thanks for your feedback! I think the Pro R has 750 miles on it of dunes riding and no blown belt yet. As you've seen, we push them super hard. When we ride hard I struggle to get 150 miles on a belt on my '19 XP Turbo. I'm still blown away that the Pro R hasn't had one single belt issue. I'm with you, I hate blowing belts. Sometimes I'll blow 2 in a weekend trip and it gets expensive. I know I can slow down and make them last, but I bought the rig to feed my adrenaline requirements, not my nature observations, haha. In my honest opinion, I'd say the belt shouldn't be an issue on a Pro R. If I could get 750 miles on a belt I'd be more than happy! I know SXSBlog finally blew their first belt a few episodes ago. I can't remember how many miles they have on it.
We totally would, but no one around here gets that many miles on theirs. We can't ride on the street here so it takes forever to rack up 10,000 miles. So far it has 1,000 on it and it's doing awesome!!
That stock clutch is good for more power then people think. Larue racing pulled 802hp to the rear wheels using stock shafts and there holding up fine. The machine really is over built. A arms are massive. Its built well . They think they can pull more power on the stock block its taking it fine. For how heavy they are dude the 1000 turbo weighs more . That actually shocked me. Torque is everything.
They really are over-built! Well, built to last anyway. I applaud Polaris for stepping up and making them beefy! I LOVE the torque output from the 4 cylinder!!
My pro r completely fell apart with less than 200 miles on it. One minute we were driving at 30 mph on a flat dirt road, the next we were stopped with a sheared main frame and broken ball joints around $17k in repairs. Very disappointed in polaris.
I just grabbed up a Troy Lee and already wrecked it. Can say it hit 95 on the dirt though! I doubt I will ever be able to use this car to its full potential. Anybody know if a handbrake and gated shifter can both be used?
Oh man, sorry to hear that you wrecked it. Hopefully there were no injuries. They definitely have good top speed! I haven't used both a gated shifter and a handbrake, but the handbrake kits are pretty narrow so I would think you'd have the clearance.
@@PapaWheeliesWorld Thanks for the response. I will have to do a LOT of digging to find out what is going to work best etc. Be nice if someone engineered something so that the shifter had a handbrake on it. Guess that's beyond most peoples common sense. Cheers.
We haven't been to anywhere besides my brother's open property or the dunes with it. There are some tight trails that we run at the dunes and it does great. It is nimble for it's size.
A friend of mine has a new Maverick R purchased and in route. I'll be doing a video with him when he gets it. Stay tuned for that. I'm not sure which one I'd pick, but the Pro R has been super awesome!! I can't wait to go for a ride and do a review on the Can Am.
What a machine! I have an rzr turbo s 4 lifted lime edition is it still a beast compared to the pro r should I upgrade, is the turbo s also strong and stable on whoops ?
A turbo S is a very capable machine in the trails, jumps, and whoops! It just can't compare to a Pro R. Vince is my buddy that got the Pro R in this video. He still owns his Turbo S 4 because he still loves it! The Pro R just feels so good that you want to push it harder. The torque and hp are so smooth and it just keeps pulling.
@@PapaWheeliesWorld Yes true but what I don’t like about the pro r is the design I mean if the engine and the suspension was on a turbo s design it would be the best sxs ever but still prefer the best 4 seater a turbo s
Yeah, I hear ya! The design is hit or miss with most. I'm not so sure it was my favorite at first, but it's grown on me and I really like it now. With an aftermarket cage they can look pretty mean. The Turbo S is still my favorite looking of all time though.
How long did you guys wait and when did you order yours etc? Still waiting. I ordered myn in November. Thanks. Great vid the thing rips. This will be my first SXS but I raced shifter karts my whole life so I'm not worried lol
Larue is pulling 802hp to the rear wheels 300 is laughable go back to there channel. The entry level turbo is 400plus hp to the wheels. Your numbers are off. Maybe this vid is old im not sure.
Haha, yeah, this video was when my buddy Vince got the Pro R when they first came out. They didn't have developed turbo kits out yet. Larue is killin' it with his power levels!!
That’s not a closed course. You are horribly unsafe drivers as demonstrated by your two crashes in a short time in what is the safest most capable SXS to date.
Thanks for the feedback! 🥰 If you push the limits you'll find them at some point. Your opinion of "horribly unsafe" isn't valid unless you were there. We do have spotters at the dunes when possible. As for the head on tap with the can am, you can see we were only doing about 30 on a single wide multi direction trail. Neither driver had anywhere to go. That's just one of the risks every person riding at the dunes takes. Cheers man! 🤙
Ok. With spotters I don't understand how the collision and crash occurred. I do appreciate you clarifying it is your private property and controlled. My apologies. Cheers Sir@@PapaWheeliesWorld
@@Dragon_Rider oh, spotters on jumps and when we film whoop sections etc. The tight two way trails are near impossible to have a spotter on the lead car, but we all have radios. There's really no good way to navigate those trails besides going at a slower speed like we were, but those blind corners are still a guessing game unfortunately.
Have you had any problems with one? I'm always happy to hear feedback. So far this one is going strong. Only breakage so far is the plastic seat brackets. Fingers crossed, haha.
@@PapaWheeliesWorld A refurbished Toyota Sequoia or Tundra would be slower, but bigger. The $30k to $32k price for these UTVs are way too expensive. They're just motorvycles with two more wheels and more plastic.
The primary reason for my statement is “Speed,” as this video demonstrates how and why innocent people are killed off-road riding. Its one thing to run out of talent, but another when someone dies. Don’t get me wrong, the content quality is good, but 19 years of riding, 3 rzr’s and twice having to perform CPR on people I don’t know has caused me to choose my off-road and racing friends wisely. Good Luck!
I guess the value is an opinion. I definitely don't think it's a bargain of a price....but in the value as compared to like vehicles it ranks at the top! Maybe that's a better way to say it.

Oh man, that's funny!!! That's the EXACT thing we always say! It definitely makes you feel like you can do all the things you shouldn't.
Good lord I don't think I'd even want to ride with that guy. Granted I've never even been in a sxs but that dude was straight up hauling ass!
Oh man, he's the most fun to ride with!! :-)

Could you do a 10,000 mile review when you can???
We totally would, but no one around here gets that many miles on theirs. We can't ride on the street here so it takes forever to rack up 10,000 miles. So far it has 1,000 on it and it's doing awesome!!
The full exhaust system from phoenix land speed is absolutely insane for this bike
I'll have to look that one up! I don't think I've seen it yet. Thanks for the heads up!
What bike?
Bike?
Great video, getting ready to go look at one
I'm positive you'll enjoy it!!

What polished aluminum wheels are that on the Pro R? That is exactly what I am looking for. What is the width & back spacing on them?
They are Method wheels. I forget the specs of his wheels, but you'll see them on Method's website! Thanks!
The wheels with the paddles. I can’t find anything shiny in a 8 or 10 wide. Where did you get them
Those are Method wheels.
I personally went with the pro r sport and I only have one complaint steering shaft is trash and built it my way can say I do want the ultimate shocks
Congrats on getting a pro R sport! I haven't ridden in a sport yet, but the ultimate rides fantastic! 👍
Bro, your buddy is having way to much fun!! LMAO!
Oh man, we were both having way too much fun! 😂
My pro r completely fell apart with less than 200 miles on it. One minute we were driving at 30 mph on a flat dirt road, the next we were stopped with a sheared main frame and broken ball joints around $17k in repairs. Very disappointed in polaris.
That is disappointing! I've got quite a few friends with them now and so far they haven't had experiences like yours... Luckily!
Dealers here don't even offer the Pro R. They won't sell a 74" wide machine while it's illegal on the trails.
That's a bummer! Where are you located? Do they have Jeep trails or anything that you can take them on? (Given that you could buy one)
We have friends considering one of these, going to send a link. Great review!
Tell 'em to get one! They are so awesome and definitely a step above all the other RZRs!
The thing is a beast
It really is fun!!!
I just grabbed up a Troy Lee and already wrecked it. Can say it hit 95 on the dirt though!
I doubt I will ever be able to use this car to its full potential.

How is it on the tight trails? Where I'm at mostly has thin bushy trails and concerned it would be too wide
We haven't been to anywhere besides my brother's open property or the dunes with it. There are some tight trails that we run at the dunes and it does great. It is nimble for it's size.
I’m in the market now for the tough question, this machine or a new Maverick R for about $8,000 more?

Does this unit have the crappy reverse chain that's breaks all the time!
I do not believe there is a reverse chain! I have not had the transmission apart though.
I gotcha I was thinking that they might have changed it.
