Incredibly helpful man. I have a dealer about 3 miles away from me here in Lake Havasu city, Az. and I am seriously considering getting one of these. Very very good job. Totally appreciate it.
These big things are ruining good ATV trails. I went to a popular place in Kentucky I haven't been in years and the change was shocking! Massive wide ruts everywhere and the old ATV trails were practically destroyed.
The Maverick X3 feels more comfortable when I sit in it, but when I am flying through the woods I feel much better about my seating position in a RZR then the X3. Same is true for climbing hills. If I was doing a lot of dune or dessert riding I would probably get a X3. All other types of riding give me the versatility of the RZR turbo S and its beefed up components you didn’t mention, like the superior front dif.
stephen is real good, very sharp, informative, and he points out things most people dont think about. not to criticize him physically, but sometimes he looks like he just woke up and went to work. People will take you more seriously if you look the part usually...
To me it is Polaris that is setting the Bar every year. CanAm X3 really needs to leap to set the Bar even higher than the Polaris RZR. I look forward to seeing what the Polaris General has coming.
I know this is a old post but to compare the pioneer to the turbo S is a joke. It's apple's and oranges. The pioneer is great for cruising around or farming and hunting but the S is pure sport. And I've had my turbo S almost a year now and not one issue, not even a belt.
first time watching one of this channels videos, and i must say i enjoyed it, additionally the guy hosting seems like someone id hang out with, i enjoyed listening to him, he seems like hes talking from the heart instead of a script. i actually went with the pro xp because 72 isnt an option where i ride (mountains of pennsylvania) but i do love the tails of teh turbo s more than my proxps

You dont really know how to use the suspension. Sport mode is dynamic which means the suspension adjusts on it's own according to the bumps speed and bunch of other factors. When you go slower and need traction you put it in comfort mode and if you are driving on flat road at higher speed you want to set it to firm.
The slowest 1000cc machine with flawed suspension. Comparing a TS with a yxz hahaha. You will be the one looking when everyone else passes you in your cool "looking" machine.
That was pretty informative . If that doesn’t start selling those . I’m not sure what could then . And you’re right you always have the fun every time you turn the key . Nice job !
Nice Mechanix Wear gloves...love the m-pacts. Great review. I'm in the market for a new 4 seater and I'm between this and the X3 max. Gotta say this ticks all the boxes.
hey the rzr has stronger axles than that garbage under that jeep. an explorer or a blazer has stronger axles. the jeep thing is a myth. you have to replace everything on it to really offroad it.
I like the right command it looks pretty cool . On polaris.com they have there is one model that comes standard with the ride command. that I can afford it is the 2020 900 Fox Edition.
Ok, so it's a 4 seater but it's max carry capacity is what? Granted, based on what you showed about the rear seats you're basically only putting kids or tiny people back there. But you get 2 good old boys up front (like me or yourself) and a couple smaller folks, like my son whose about a buck and a half in the back and you're right around something like 800lbs! Just went back and double checked....740lbs MAX! NG! Not for what a 4 seater is gonna cost you!
But ANYTHING other than a Polaris. Trust me, with 20 plus years working in the off-road industry they’re nowhere near as dependable as they should be being they out sell all other utvs. But I do see people are waking up on Polaris and their subpar products
I destroyed 2 Polaris ATVs back in late 90s. Both major gearbox failures. Complete Junk. So I buy a 400EX Honda and ride it for 13 years with ZERO problems. 2 years ago I decided to buy a new ATV and I'm older now and wanted a easy riding machine. I thought Polaris had to come a long way since my time in the 90s with them. Bought a new Sportsman 570. Got it home and on day 1 it popped, clanked, and made weird noises like a old Model T Ford. I dont recall any Hondas, Kawasaki I've rode making all that racket. I sold it last year because I just knew there was no way that thing would hold up very long. They are the same clunky machines they were 20 years ago.
That funny because I have a 1998 Polaris 400 sport that has never had any work done to it and it can sit for a year and still starts right up. 21 years old. And I have the Turbo S also. Had it almost a year with not one issue not even a belt.
i actually hate that it has no hitch, the XP1K dosnt either which is what im getting and no one wants to pull a trailer with these, but you can get hitches with a big Dring on them for pulling you or other people, or what i want a tiger tail, which goes in your receiver.
Waiting for my new 2021 turbo s dynamix 2 seater. Im really excited about the gps. Night rides in the dunes has been marked with attempts to find my way back to my staging area. Ive tried phone apps and they were ok. Lost a handheld gps on the first use of it... ??? To this day I cant figure out where we could have lost it. Litterally at our first stop we couldn't even find it to make sure it was tracking! So... I cant wait to explore new places and feel secure i can find my way back.
@@TheCutFather i got the polaris turbo s. Loved it and then sold it to a guy who offered me $2,000 cash more than I had into it. It didn't have 400 miles on it. I went and bought a dodge challenger hemi. When I think about off roading im thinking big thumper 4 stroke bike for playing in the desert. The sxs was fun but I poured over the vehicle use maps to figure out where I could go. The bike can use every off road trail and road thats legal for motorized vehicles. At a fraction of the price tag.... so thats where im at. I got out from under that payment at the right time. I had a 2021 aluminum cargo pro trailer that my local dealer bought from me so I also got that payment off my back.
Their is no comparison to the other ones. These S and X3 are in a class by them selves. The Honda, Yamaha and Artic cat compete with each other but don't come close to the S or X3.
Now Polaris needs to incorporate the turbo mill and maybe a couple more inches of suspension travel into the General. Don't get me wrong, I love my General rc, and the fact that she's work ready...but her fun side could use just a bit of "massaged" a bit.
Stephen great job! How tall are you? I'm 5'3" and with the seat tilted back like you said! Would I be able to see over the hood? Roman thank you for listening to us and spending the money to bring Stephen to the states to test this machine
Just buy a Kawasaki Teryx! I've had mine since 2014 and it has truly been a great, dependable ride. You can't beat the price and the 3 year warranty. Polaris offers 6 months lol what a joke especially for double the price!!
You said you can’t hit things at speed in “firm” That’s exactly what firm is for, to hit high speed whoops and bumps and jumps. The whole point of firm is to be able to run it harder and faster and hit things at speed.
Why on earth would you spend 35k on the stretch-minivan variant of an off-road toy? Come on people, make your friends buy their own equipment. Mad-Maxing it across the desert like a bunch of psychos with multiple vehicles is way more fun than toting around some kids who should be back at camp flying kites.
Can am had tilted seats there 72 inches wide. They had beefy frames. They had 24inch ground clearance 32s youll get 25 inches. So what im saying is minus the dynamics. Can am been doing what Polaris just did. Nice machine allot of nice machines out there. But im brp all the way just baught a x3 max. I also have a feeling I'll be buying the 2020 x3 rs as well can ams big reveal from what i heard from a source something real nice is coming to change the game. That said im glad machines such as Polaris is catching up. But i prefer quality brp.
@@mzwak2001 I have been told that the rangers don't care. As in California, you can't use a side x side with an Arizona or Utah license plate on any street legal only road. But if they can make a Slingshot street legal, why not a side x side (which I would argue is much safer)...

"Trails..." "rock climbing"... if this channel is going to do some SXS reviews, find some real trails that I wouldn't be able to get up in a stock pickup truck.

If your a big person, the X3 has a lot more room and is more comfortable.
The Polaris has way better view out of the cabin than the X3
Agree

@@eamonshields2754 He also goes to the local dive in a button tucked inside his jeans and calls it a night out on the town.
No... u want the suspension SOFT for crawling rocks. U want the suspension to move and mobe fast to keep all tires on thr ground
The articulation is going to be the same regardless of the mode. It is adjusting the compression and rebound rates.
You do know theres bigger helmets than that one?
To me it is Polaris that is setting the Bar every year. CanAm X3 really needs to leap to set the Bar even higher than the Polaris RZR. I look forward to seeing what the Polaris General has coming.
Don Hanson polaris sucks. Everything they are pushing the limits with breaks. Honda makes tried and true machines. The pioneer is best sxs ever made

Stephen was a great addition to TFL
You want suspension soft for slow stuff and you want your suspension firm for high-speed so it gets rid of body roll,high speed turns and G outs!!!
Dan Matz I was just going to say the same thing.
Great video. Trails didn't do justice though. My grandma's golf cart from sun city could do the job

while rock crawling , the suspension set in a softer mode creates more articulation / traction?
Those racing off-road tires offer a much better ride experience than the very aggressive treads.
For comparison I looked up the 1987 Suzuki samurai dimensions....
Wheelbase: 79.9
Length: 135
Width: 60.6
Height: 64.6
Curb Weight: 2,059
Thd RZR is huge compared to this!
I did the same with Jeep. It has pretty much the same wheelbase as the 4 door wrangler.

Does the RZR have front and rear locking diffs or is it an AWD vehicle?
Rear is locked at all times. Front locks if you have it in 4WD mode after it senses some slip. And I'm talking about a minor amount of slip.
What about altitude changes on engine performance ?
It's all handled by computer these days. When my dad had a shop, we would have to reset the carb to get the right gas/air ratio.
