Can we get a video evaluating the condition of the skid plates? They all took some hits, I’m curious to see the difference between the plastic and metal skids.
Easy answer from experience, metal or aluminum bend and stay bent, the junk aluminum skids on my pioneer are bent up and vibrate off of the motor. My thick UHMW on my Talon are just as straight as when I installed them, just have a bunch of gouges. 4500 hard miles on both machines, I’ll never do steel or aluminum again.
Love HMT! Bearwallow always has a soft spot in my heart! It'll always be one of my favs, I'm a fan of Rock House as well. Can't wait to head back there in April with my RMAX!! Everyone needs to go here at least once!
I absolutely love this content guys. Way more realistic riding compared to wide open trails in insane machines doing 100 mph lol loved this video. You guys are crushing it. Haven't missed a single episode since 2017, keep it up guys
Absolutely love that type of riding and content, and from a Can Am guy, that R-Max absolutely killed it, best looking on the rough stuff for sure. Great work guys!!
Thank you guys for the good words about WV.....they're aren't many good words to be said, but you guys are always great.....have a great time and hope someday we can rip together.....have a blast and be careful
I absolutely love how everyone who does entertaining and fun things with off road vehicles for fun on TH-cam are pretty tipsy but never shows it because TH-cam doesn't want to show reality. Leo, this was a fantastic edit. Props. Another edit: Doug, your hair is ridiculously great. Sous, I love you, you're always wonderful.
Best video I prefer this over extreme turbo machines that break at cost you guys so much money. Thank you did a great job showing what these sxs can do...huge market 😊
Heck yeah dude! As BrokenWillBrute mentioned below, could've watched this for hours. Great job guys. Still need to see you guys in a KRX or KRX 4, especially doing this kind of stuff I think your minds would be blown! That could actually be one of your next feature builds, blown KRX with a KraftWerks supercharger. Won't be a Beast Mode but with all the capability of the KRX suspension plus a decent amount of horsepower.........who knows? Keep up the great work guys and as always, can't wait for the next vid to drop.
This video could've been an hour and a half long, and I'd still be watching. Great content my guys. Love seeing these units getting put to work on trails I'm more likely to ride when i go
I honestly think when you guys do these trips id like 45 or 50min videos to get more of the riding experience from you guys but great stuff guys keep it uppp!
Awesome love the hatfield mccoy trail systems! The Buffalo mountain Rockhouse and Devil Anse is super fun system too. Rockhouse has nasty rocky hillclimbs. Thanks for the footage
Love it !!! That is the kind of riding I’m used too . Those machines will do things that will shock even you guys !! Stop racing everywhere and do more wheeling !!!!
LOVE THIS CONTENT!!!! I am soooooooo glad you branched to sport rec! I like the turbos but will never buy one, this is content I can relate to!! MORE PLEASE!
Love Bear Wallow. Seen you were staying at Rivers Edge. We stay with them every time we go to Hatfield. Keno is an amazing host. Hope you continue to have a blast!
This video brought back some good memories. We did a ride on little run that was probably 5 miles long and took about 3 hrs on 4 wheelers and one Yamaha fat cat here in Western Pa. Same terrain maybe not as steep. Great video guys it was fun to watch
Honestly love these kinds of videos. The huge power, lots is suspension top of the line machines are cool, but these are more relatable! Plus they offer a different set of challenges, and you’re just highlighting the fact you can buy a stock machine and have fun, showing how capable they are stock! Keep it up!
We bought our Talons in 19 and broke them in on these trails. 95% of our riding is in the mountains of WV. You guys should visit more of the trail system they have to offer . Also try the Outlaw trails .
We went to Bear Wallow for a second time in April. This is my favorite system so far. We’ve been on Buffalo Mountain, Devil Anse, Rock House, Pocahontas, Indian Ridge, and just a little bit of Pinnacle Creek. It’s been fun watching this video a second time. The crawling is excellent! I’m getting an RMax 2 LE in a week or two and my 900S will be traded in after 5 years of faithful service.
I love how you guys run around and beat on top level machines on a regular basis, but then you get in these stock utility machines and can still have a great time.
Its crazy because these type of trails is almost every trail in AZ, so I can see how yall are a little skeptical on obstacles ( which are super normal for me) however I'd be in the same boat if I was in the dunes lol... so its cool to see other perspectives of other riders! Great vid buds
I believe I’m correct in saying this and all those machines still have the front sway bar attached. Personally, I believe you guys would have a way more enjoyable time with the sway bars removed from the front. It allows you to get better articulation and grip over the bigger rocks a little easier. I’m sure somebody will crack me.
I'm also a Michigan Man, I have only been riding one time in WV! What a different riding experience, was there for 4 day's, went on a poker run with a bunch of locals in the rain, I was on a 00" CR125 .. Those creek crossings become very interesting when the rain is coming down the Mountains!! I stalled and water log my bike in one of them, knew I was in trouble when the front fender went under water!! Pulled the plug, kicked it for about 10 minutes and she fired up, made the whole run!! What a blast, great place to ride, great people! Would love to make it back on the SXS!
as a west virginia resident, these are great trails, but the local trails around me in the northern panhandle, are top notch, you guys should try them out sometime
Hey guys! As an RMAX2 owner, I knew that 4 seater would do very well with 2 inch smaller tires in that terrain! I had a 2018 2 seater general and put 200 miles on it. 4 FREAKING belts later, I traded it for the LE. Best decision ever. I would love to have a Turbo ride, but the Rmax does everything I ask out of it with no belt or any other issues. I'm super stoked you guys had fun in WV. Some buds and I are heading to Durhamtown soon. 😇 Take care, 10.
Funny thing is, there are 1000 of general owners who dont have your problems. Thus, the issue most likely is unique to your experience. Yamaha has a great clutch set up, but as per usual they also are very slow an ultra conservative in their platforms.
@M K they are just as fast as a general, and the build quality is superior. I know because I've owned both. My general liked to eat belts. Over 4000 miles on my rmax2 with 0 issues
@@paulross468 Translation, You dont know or understand how to maintain the CVT so you just run thru belts and buy a WHOLE new machine that just so happens to not have a problem at the moment but when it does you will buy another machine to fix it. The dumbest thing i have ever seen anyone do.
Welcome to WV. next year you should do a tour of the coalfields and ride each system 1 day each for a week. Also, those Blacks and Double Blacks are meant to go up!! lol. Hope you guys had a blast!
Lol right when Sous was going down the hill I was wondering what that sounds was and immediately Leo explained it was the secondary clutch. Kind felt like he read my mind.
Boy I didn't think those machines was that capable for that kind of trails. What is up with no driving to places videos. You guys are funny on those road trips. Keep up the great videos.
Crazy to experience the different geology, this is normal riding to me and my friends, where you guys are amazed by it. Interesting to see the difference in skill sets. Glad you guys had fun, I would love to take you guys on a ride down my way sometime!
We used to camp at and ride from The Wagon Wheel. I can tell you there is some seriously great riding in that area and some stuff that will have you praying to God just to get you out of it. When you were done with the mountains you could come back and ride the stairsteps. Miss those days for sure.
Awesome video guys. One thing if possible can we hear the machines working on the trail instead of music? I dont make videos but do enjoy the sound of machines. Thanks
Finally!!! A video the common sxs rider can relate with! I unsubscribed a couple years ago because the channel just got to ridiculous. I’m considering coming back if they keep the relatable content up 👍
The Rmax2 is a BA over super technical rock crawling. Never been stuck in ours. Camp 5 in the Black hills was a piece of cake. Iron range in Gilbert mn was easy too. There's a reason why it's named the Mtn goat.
Hi from Arizona. I love this content. I thought the music matched to video just fine. Big thumbs up. Hey, put some sand paddles on the UDRs and go snow racing in Michigan. We'd love to see that.
THE NEW WEBSITE IS AMAZING! YOU ACTUALLY HAVE STUFF AND WITH PICTURES ALSO DIVIDED PROPERLY FOR EVERY RIG! YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE ACTUALLY ENJOYS THEIR JOB UNLIKE BEFORE!!
Remember the KRX1000 you guys talked shit about because it was not a turbo machine, that’s where that machine shines. Glad to see the content grow.
It’s nice to hear people talking good about our beautiful state for a change!
Love it down there!
Can we get a video evaluating the condition of the skid plates? They all took some hits, I’m curious to see the difference between the plastic and metal skids.
Easy answer from experience, metal or aluminum bend and stay bent, the junk aluminum skids on my pioneer are bent up and vibrate off of the motor. My thick UHMW on my Talon are just as straight as when I installed them, just have a bunch of gouges. 4500 hard miles on both machines, I’ll never do steel or aluminum again.
Physics has the answer, the thick plastic slide across, as thin or thick metal just bends and cracks.
Love hearing the positivity about the great riding in WV.
Love HMT! Bearwallow always has a soft spot in my heart! It'll always be one of my favs, I'm a fan of Rock House as well. Can't wait to head back there in April with my RMAX!! Everyone needs to go here at least once!
I live about an hour from these trails and have never been. I didn't know all this was there lol

Legend has it, Steve and Mike are the keepers of time. They guard and maintain the portals. This is why you never see them use it.
Black diamond Valley Lanes arcade card... High score on the punching bag game?? Love that place...
Heyyyy!!!!...My Great Great Great grandfather was devil Ance Hatfield....that’s my family!!!!....Hope you boys enjoyed!
i like how you switch cars everyone gets to see the difference
I love this kind of content I like the rock crewing and exploring different types of trails
Excellent video. Way more relatable to us average joe trail riders, instead of the big turbo go fast cars in straight lines.

This was a great video with classic content. More of this.
LOVE THIS CONTENT!!!! I am soooooooo glad you branched to sport rec! I like the turbos but will never buy one, this is content I can relate to!! MORE PLEASE!
Glad y’all went back to your roots this video was awesome
Heyyy welcome to WV we have a never ending amount of trails here some difficult some easy and a lot of them muddy enjoy fellas.
Just rode 60 miles two sundays ago here in wv. Was 70 degrees and you couldn’t beat it!
rmax for the win......that sxs is a beast in this category!
Rmax honestly won me over. All the machines had their moment to shine though.
@@Steve-sxsblogparts 🤌
We run the rmax2 in the U.P. and the longer 4 seaters struggle in the tight woods. Over 4000 miles on the rmax with 0 issues
We need more and longer videos like this. Even a non edited version would be awesome.
We took a vacation to hatfield macoy trails a couple years ago. It was alot of fun
Love Bear Wallow. Seen you were staying at Rivers Edge. We stay with them every time we go to Hatfield. Keno is an amazing host. Hope you continue to have a blast!
Keno and Kade rock
@@SXSBlog yes they do.

I think you e convinced a lot of us to make it to Hatfield at least once in our lives, along with Glamis. Love the trip vids
Glamis is life changing 🤘🏻
We bought our Talons in 19 and broke them in on these trails. 95% of our riding is in the mountains of WV. You guys should visit more of the trail system they have to offer . Also try the Outlaw trails .
I love when Sous uses his 99 Ruescape magic to teleport!
The Yamaha comes down that hill all smooth and quiet and then the can am comes down like click click click squeeeaak squeak 😂
My favorite kind of riding! Trail is where it's at for these units!
Keep up the hard work and the machines handled great. Look forward to the day 2 video, Stay safe everybody.
It would've been neat to see those rigs attempt going up either of those trails.
I came to see if anyone called that out. Going down a double black is way different than going up.
We went to Bear Wallow for a second time in April. This is my favorite system so far. We’ve been on Buffalo Mountain, Devil Anse, Rock House, Pocahontas, Indian Ridge, and just a little bit of Pinnacle Creek.

For sure! In the right conditions, you can have a blast driving just about anything.
Awesome video! West Virginia is definitely on the bucket list of places to ride outside of Michigan.
I thought that was y’all fueling up at the Exxon the other day. I knew I should have stopped. Damn it….
Lol I literally bent my tie rod back straight a couple years ago at that exact gas station.
That place looks awesome!
One of my favorite videos from y’all

Thanks fellas!👍👍

Real test= turn around at the bottom of that narly descent and go back up!
i really like that r-max
Good to see some real off roading not just cruising. Double black for the win!

@@SXSBlog you should try black mountain in Harlan ky, definitely the most scenic parks around all high elevation
I am such a slacker. I live 2 hours for Hatfield-McCoy and never been. These guys traveled hour and hours to get there.
how fun guys
Welcome to my part of the woods. The nursing home I am in isn’t very far at all from the Hatfield and McCoy trail.
Awesome ride, can't wait to see the next day
First video I've watched I'm months great content!
Thanks David, next one should be pretty awesome!
Awesome keep em coming!
You guys should ride the outlaw trails out there. There's a quarry out there you should definitely check out seriously.
I commented for them to get ahold of Domino to take them out somewhere outside of HMT
Definitely enjoyed this video was like watching a 2020 video.
I rode the Hatfield McCoy trails down there in West Virginia in 2007 with my dad and my brother that was the best trip over.

Damnit man. I like the road trip vlogs lol
I’m not from WV but Eastern north half of PA is very similar trails to WV. Love seeing you guys ride the kinda trails that we ride!!! Great video!!!
Great job, really showing how capable the machines are
Very close to 400k subs boys
