As an unbiased, non-brand loyal industry observer and participant who has owned various machines from numerous manufacturers, I think it is important to keep in perspective (as others have mentioned) that the Commander has been available and relatively unchanged since 2010. It seems pretty evident that Polaris built upon the successes of the Commander and improved on them in most every category for the General's introduction in MY 2015. I fully expect BRP/Can-Am to answer in the near future with a new or updated Commander that one ups the current iteration of the General.
i have a 2019 commander 800r max dps...you are right about the jumping of the throttle at lower rpms...here is the fix use the gray key to cut back power or just simply put it into eco mode and you get away from the sensitive throttle response no matter what key you have
Pointhunter75 Neither is a Yamaha sure, but then again I think I'd still take a Can Am over a Polaris. When I think of cheap, Polaris comes to mind. Maybe it's because they're the Honda civics of ATV/UTV (everyone has one), meaning that because there's so many of them out there, there's that many more problems. All I know is both the Canadians and especially the Americans can learn from the Japanese when it comes building something that lasts.
@@rodg011 I really appreciate you saying that. Many people don't think about that. Polaris has more recalls, because they care to make sure your ATV or UTV is cared for when it comes to common issues. The recall on the 850 back in the day, was to fix RELIABILITY issues, not safety, goes to show which brand cares more about it's customer.
I honestly don’t think the price should’ve gone to commander considering it handled better, rode, and was just faster and that wasn’t really accounted for
Im a can am guy but you cant argue with more wheel travel, more hp, better dash, better seating and being more planted. The general has one upped the commander for sure.
Polaris. I have a 2020 570 and it’s the last time I’ll buy a Polaris. When I try to do any farm work, the Polaris throws a check engine light and after 15 minutes it shuts down.
i have a 2012 Can Am Commander 1000 XT and other then the regular maintenance, never put a penny in it. i had a brand new 2010 800 Polaris touring and blew the motor within 2 year. In the end i'll stick to Cam Am for reliability.
I had a Polaris I bought brand new in 2015, never again....these are not reliable units...charging problem none stop and was never really fixed properly. Starting on damp days was another constant problem...I sold this piece of junk and am now looking at a Can Am...pricey but I have 2 friends who have had can ams's for 4 and 6 years and they love them. One of them 2 guys was an early victim as well to polaris unreliability.
As for me I rather have something that don't break down and I can ride it. Canam why I buy . Had polaris everyone one has one is fixing then no much after new
In Australia, the commander is a common choice for cattle properties. They are great when mustering and don't feel top heavy when used carefully. My uncle used commander for years and he loved the capability. However being very rural, we needed to drive long distances to get regular maintenance from a can am dealer. We have since moved onto Yamaha wolverines and they are a back to bssics little capable buggy and we've never had an issue.
This is a very well done review. You guys put a lot of work into it in post with the graphics and prices. Good job. I wish you guys would show both Canadian and US prices like TLFOffroad. You have a lot of Canuck's watching too.
Never question a Lester's opinion we're always right when it comes to ATV/UTV's ;). Keep up the good work! If you ever want to come to West Virginia and ride some real trails (non-hatfield mccoy), just let me know.
I still don't think I could go Polaris, as a Can-Am fanboy... RZR's have way to much belt slip in there motors and eat through them.. Can-am's are pricey, however almost never have recalls or maintenance issues.
Drove a 1000 commander a few times..really fun... lots of power, great handling and its fast. But the rear clearance is about 6 inches and the transmission housing sounds like you're standing in front of CH-53 taking off from an LPH. And that viscolock ? lets just say im not a fan, lot of people love it.. but its not for me at all. Friend of mine bought a general 1000 4 seater ... have to say its a bad ass machine with great suspension. Ive been riding for many years... seen my share of breakdowns on all makes and models, nothing is bullet proof.. anything with mechanical parts wear and break down, sure there's engineering differences, some QA control issues over the years, but if you dont break it.. you aint riden it right. lol My 2003 500ho po-po has been beat to death and back, seriously I cannot believe it still runs... had to replace the cam last year probably because ive swamped it more times than i can remember, does this mean they are the best.. hell no, but they're not the worst either. The only thing keeping me on a po-po is the Polaris AWD system, no levers, no stopping to lock it just click it and go, no fluid pressure or bank of sensors needed, just a 5 degree turn in the rear and its locked in… Hands down the best imo. If the other brands had Polaris AWD system... all things being equal.. price per horse and suspension would always make my purchase decision no matter what logo was on it and thats the truth.
Polaris just makes a better product. People for some reason say polaris are junk i have a 1986 four wheeler that still runs, a 2006 four wheeler still runs, and i have a 2011 rzr 800 with 5000 miles never had a problem with it!
Although im can-am and have to agree with most of the comments below, what makes this video biased is that they compare a top of the line Polaris against a standard feature can-am.
Bullshit! My 2 wd Tomcar will go anywhere these P.O.S will, with the added benefit of not breaking down on the trail! I'll challenge these clowns anytime!
Yeah commander is definitely do for a face-lift/upgrade. Hopefully with the release of the general they don't have much of a choice but to make changes.
Great job with the video. We have both Commander 1000 XT and General Deluxe 1000 and comparison was spot on. As for quality, Polaris has a way to do to match CanAm.
I feel like these people are lazy, I mean he said they chose the Polaris because you could take it flat around a corner, and I mean having fun isn't just holding down the gas, it's accelerating and decelerating and all that that's really fun. And also the can am is really fun to drive with the power steering low/off. I drove a 4 seater one before and it didn't feel tippiy and all, and everything about it felt great. The perfect amount of nice soft suspension and comfort, but also bumpiness and power when riding around corners and stuff. It honestly felt AMAZING. Also I think that they should add a reliability category, and not make this a Polaris commercial.
I’ve driven them all. The General is easier to get in and out of, nicer lay out and dash. But the best is the General’s ability to keep you clean of dust. All my friends with Rzrs and Cam ams are covered with dirt and we step out clean every ride.
I’m not biased either way, but look at how either machine would be used. In my state, these things are street legal. The Polaris has an open rear diff, and 4 wheel disc brakes. The Can Am has a locked (permanently) with 3 disc brake system. For me personally, based on brakes alone, Polaris wins. If Can Am would change their tune, I’d definitely consider one! 👍🏻
Umm guys I found a channel called ATVreview channel that uses a lot of your videos and don't give you any credit. So I'm sure if that's copyright. So just thought you might want to check it out
This review is pretty accurate, I own a can am 1000 xt... the biggest thing they missed about the seating (that was a deciding factor for me) was the seats in the commander come out very easy and can be used around the campfire, ice fishing, etc... the comfort of the seats in the commander is also huge... I've been in mine all day and was very comfortable....
Polaris. Way over LOOKED. Honda was really good when Japanese people built.. Now every one is coming out with side by self. So silly. U want to be alone. Buy quad???
dirt Trax television has always been polaris bias. but I'm assuming polaris pays them alot. I agree the general is a major upgrade over the crap polaris previous models.
Dirttrax is also sponsored by Can-Am as well guys....sorry. .... hope the general is more reliable than some other Polaris models.... it seems a lot of polaris owners are always having more serious problems with their machines on all the forums I read. Im not biased I would take either machines, Can - Am seems like a better built rig IMO.. On a side note : when I look at both Polaris and Can-ams closely it seems Polaris parts are mostly from China and the Can-Am's have a lot of "made in Mexico" stickers as well. tough decision this next spring ... I want a fun SXS that I can take hunting, exploring, sport and still use around the house, these are my only two options so far... Ive tried most already....
I have driven both the Commander and the General and i own a Can Am Commander DPS 800 I have to say you Got the winner wrong on this one ride and comfort goes to the commander all you have to do is remove the rear sway bar rear suspension travel is increased and ride is greatly improved and it can still haul with no issues and for seat position commander allows for better visibility and for the General when hauling a load up hill it breaks traction all the time unless u put it in 4 wheel while the commander can pull same load in 2 wheel drive with out breaking traction you mite want to update this video Commander is clear winner plus the Generals motor may have more HP but more maintenance issue with oil leaking into the belt housing area getting on the belt causing belt slippage that can cause belt to catch fire Polaris knows of this issue and does nothing to fix it only says they will buy the unit back its happened to 3 of my friends i ride with who bought a General not they own Commanders
Yeah polaris. Polaris got so pro stuff but I was pretty sure that general will win but I know that can-am is not a easy opment BRP'S stuff is skill too. Their snowmobiles like ski-doo and lynx are cool 2017 sled of the year ski-doo won sled of the year 2018 polaris won they are pretty same but yeah nice video👌
Yes luke but does my 15 year old cares?? Will u ever use this dump. The box is not smooth. Huh luke the General.u cant score these. There not in same league bro.
Hi how do you find the tires in the mud ? Do you know anything about Mega Mayhem ? Is the Can Am AS good As the 800 RZR or is it better in the mud . I have the 800 RZR want to go to Can Am commander 1000 if it as good in the mud ?
Polaris lover, i'll stick with my Yamaha viking, had it for 3 years with just over 2000 miles on it and have never turned a bolt on it except to install a high liter kit on it.
I don't care for can am but the first point should have gone to the commander. It lost fgor an engine option. I guess people are to stupid to know what they want. They have to be told by big Corp.
I don’t understand this. In other reviews of the 1000 motor you say it’s super smooth and refined. But here in a comparison with Polaris you say it isn’t...
Had a poker run here in Yerington NV 2 weeks ago. Out of 68 rigs.... 2 RZR's belts either came off or broke. Is this an issue with Polaris's? My Ranger has not had belt issues.
I've owned both brands, my big issue with Polaris now is they put poor tires on them where as BRP at least puts a great tire on their machines,so if you add that price in thats another $700-$1000 more to add to the Polaris cost
the only reason I won't by the general or any Polaris sxs is the electrical problems and the dam reverse chains break on them, besides the price tag on both the general and the commander you need deep pockets because the machines are always breaking something.
People who say this video is biased are not seeing the bigger picture. Commander has been around for a long time, and has been underdeveloped since it's intro. As for the General, well it's new and Polaris had plenty of time to make a munch better sport/utility SXS. When it comes to SXS, you can't outdo a company that continuously outdo themselves. Everything about the General is better, apart from a few minor details... Hence why it won.
Waylon Davis dont, I own a 686 stroker Yamaha Rhino and the power is there like with a Polaris. I own an 2008 rzr 800 and my dad owns a 2008 Yamaha Rhino 686. I’ve personally owned a few Yamahas and I love their atvs but if your buying a sxs get something with more than one piston.
As an unbiased, non-brand loyal industry observer and participant who has owned various machines from numerous manufacturers, I think it is important to keep in perspective (as others have mentioned) that the Commander has been available and relatively unchanged since 2010. It seems pretty evident that Polaris built upon the successes of the Commander and improved on them in most every category for the General's introduction in MY 2015. I fully expect BRP/Can-Am to answer in the near future with a new or updated Commander that one ups the current iteration of the General.
I just watched a 12 minute long Polaris commercial.
Lol. Me too!
Na I have the commander xt my dad has the general base. No comparison, general all the way.
CFMOTO will rip both, you mad?
Travis Clarke they both have there differences I personally like the body style of the commander
Human Sponge CFmoto will rip it’s pos stock belt
i have a 2019 commander 800r max dps...you are right about the jumping of the throttle at lower rpms...here is the fix use the gray key to cut back power or just simply put it into eco mode and you get away from the sensitive throttle response no matter what key you have
Too many butthurt can am owners here agahhaha
Best thing about Polaris is the rear shocks being as far back as possible!
makes it smoother riding not as bouncy as can am!
How about a category for reliability/recalls.
Hass Mchasserson I think Polaris would lose that one hahaha
Pointhunter75 Neither is a Yamaha sure, but then again I think I'd still take a Can Am over a Polaris. When I think of cheap, Polaris comes to mind. Maybe it's because they're the Honda civics of ATV/UTV (everyone has one), meaning that because there's so many of them out there, there's that many more problems. All I know is both the Canadians and especially the Americans can learn from the Japanese when it comes building something that lasts.
Pointhunter75 CAN-AM HAVE THE BEST QUALITY IN ALL SEGMENTS CANT BEAT THAT
recalls although they suck ,means the company will fix a problem , problems and no recalls suck even more
@@rodg011 I really appreciate you saying that. Many people don't think about that. Polaris has more recalls, because they care to make sure your ATV or UTV is cared for when it comes to common issues. The recall on the 850 back in the day, was to fix RELIABILITY issues, not safety, goes to show which brand cares more about it's customer.
Nothing has changed from the Lester's...... Same thing happens when they blow Polaris sleds vs ski doo.
You guys have something against can am or what Polaris always wins they shootouts on every video
Have a commander for a bit now real clean , it has hold up ,that rotex 1000 don’t play !
I honestly don’t think the price should’ve gone to commander considering it handled better, rode, and was just faster and that wasn’t really accounted for
What it really is, is personal preference
In Finland General costs about 26 000 euros :(
Where's Honda
What ever name is first on these is the winner
You forgot about the HL edition general
Can-am is still better to me Polaris has more Hp but can-am can keep up with less because there motors are better and have been proven so!
No body is gonna keep these stock so it don't matter
queria entender ingles
Idc can am is still better
Lolol my Honda four trax can tow 3000ponds lol
Not a belt drive what's your point
First like second comment
FOR ONCE THIS VIDEO IS BEING POSITIVE FOR THE CONTESTANT
This is bull
Im a can am guy but you cant argue with more wheel travel, more hp, better dash, better seating and being more planted. The general has one upped the commander for sure.
You pay for it though. You can find the commander 1000 in the low teens. I haven't found a General below 20 yet.
gracilism well the general base price is suppose to be 15,500, 1k more than a commander 1000 xt, I'm guessing because of the doors LOL!
I just check prices again and it looks like the General has came down closer to its MSRP than during the summer. Making it much more appealing to me.
No the cammder has a usable bed with good suspension. Same as General. Maverick is basically nonexistent and is pure sport.
Nick Chartrand the rzr is more of a comparison to the maverick their both sport performance class
What about reliability? Who's axles and a-arms snap every other time you run it. Who's belt breaks the most often?
Can-Ams
Polaris. I have a 2020 570 and it’s the last time I’ll buy a Polaris. When I try to do any farm work, the Polaris throws a check engine light and after 15 minutes it shuts down.
Any part Polaris has on it, is going to fail before you're done with it.
I still enjoy the commander
i have a 2012 Can Am Commander 1000 XT and other then the regular maintenance, never put a penny in it. i had a brand new 2010 800 Polaris touring and blew the motor within 2 year. In the end i'll stick to Cam Am for reliability.
Just got my first can am 800 dps love it
Brought to you by Polaris...Just like all of your videos.
I had a Polaris I bought brand new in 2015, never again....these are not reliable units...charging problem none stop and was never really fixed properly. Starting on damp days was another constant problem...I sold this piece of junk and am now looking at a Can Am...pricey but I have 2 friends who have had can ams's for 4 and 6 years and they love them.

As for me I rather have something that don't break down and I can ride it. Canam why I buy . Had polaris everyone one has one is fixing then no much after new
My 2011 Ranger 800 XP has never given me an issue at all. Still the original belt on it.
men, i have a can-am commander xt and i tell you that isn´t so bad as you told in the video
In Australia, the commander is a common choice for cattle properties. They are great when mustering and don't feel top heavy when used carefully.

It's a valid point. Thanks for commenting!
ok, now make a video with out polaris for people who won't touch a polaris with a 10 foot pole because of reliability.
Can am this might sound bad but other then a few most people who buy polaris cant afford a can am you pay for quality and a bad ass machine not doors
Stick with Yamaha or Honda, but choose can am over Polaris, had a Polaris jet ski it blew up and was stranded on an island on lake Lanier for 15 hours
Why would you even look for good ride quality or comfort??? Its an ATV for shits sake!!!
Never question a Lester's opinion we're always right when it comes to ATV/UTV's ;). Keep up the good work! If you ever want to come to West Virginia and ride some real trails (non-hatfield mccoy), just let me know.
The war of the general vs.commander was based on your opinion
I still don't think I could go Polaris, as a Can-Am fanboy... RZR's have way to much belt slip in there motors and eat through them.. Can-am's are pricey, however almost never have recalls or maintenance issues.
Can am commander 1000x owner here and I love it

Polaris is a sponsor of this video.
KIevMan so is can am.
check out my channel
i Bee Amazin have u watched the full episodes they are sponsored by can am and Polaris so u might want to rethink your saying
Gavin, he wasn't the one saying they're biased. He was denying that Polaris has anymore say than Can-Am does in their reviews.
Polaris just makes a better product. People for some reason say polaris are junk i have a 1986 four wheeler that still runs, a 2006 four wheeler still runs, and i have a 2011 rzr 800 with 5000 miles never had a problem with it!
Polaris Yamaha canam Kawasaki Honda Suzuki are the best
Although im can-am and have to agree with most of the comments below, what makes this video biased is that they compare a top of the line Polaris against a standard feature can-am.
They missed a category...Which one is more likely to catch fire....
polaris it has a GM engine
your thinking of the Slingshot! The General has the Polaris built/designed 999cc Prostar engine.
@Tofutaco11 Are you high? Polaris makes more power and is at minimum 3x more reliable.
I would like to see the pioneer 1000 in this review, Polaris and can-am are to similar
This is almost as biased as the videos polaris makes themselves
Dan// or the polaris is just way better....
You might want to spell-check your sentence if you're going to call someone an idiot. LOL
Yeah,true. Polaris pays him probably.. i’m very good at atv’s and utv’s and these videos isn’t really fair so fuck off the polaris team and this man
@@dinuboldi4133 Uhhh.... Can Am is a sponsor for them....
Bullshit! My 2 wd Tomcar will go anywhere these P.O.S will, with the added benefit of not breaking down on the trail! I'll challenge these clowns anytime!
Yeah commander is definitely do for a face-lift/upgrade. Hopefully with the release of the general they don't have much of a choice but to make changes.
one point for having less engine choice and one more point for having less confortable seat ? seriously ?
I am a cam am guy, but resuming it that way is wrong. They plentely explained why and i agree with em.
I think he did a fair comparison.
Great job with the video. We have both Commander 1000 XT and General Deluxe 1000 and comparison was spot on. As for quality, Polaris has a way to do to match CanAm.
I’m a can am guy but that general is a nice unit
Eh. Both are nice machines. I'd be happy with either one of them.
check out my channel
No doubt the commander is due for an update

Thanks I was going to buy a commander. Now I will get a terex
You just hate can am

Also I think that they should add a reliability category, and not make this a Polaris commercial.
Its also sponsored by Can Am and it lost by a whopping 1 point its not like Polaris beat it hands down.
I hate having my ears blown out while wheeling. Which one is more quite?
Yes for 30.000 sure. Why not cheap like CF Moto
I’ve driven them all. The General is easier to get in and out of, nicer lay out and dash. But the best is the General’s ability to keep you clean of dust. All my friends with Rzrs and Cam ams are covered with dirt and we step out clean every ride.
Interesting observation!
Its easy to see that Polaris has a lot to do with the making of this commercial.
Would you say the same thing if the Can Am would've won.
I’m not biased either way, but look at how either machine would be used. In my state, these things are street legal. The Polaris has an open rear diff, and 4 wheel disc brakes.

so, the XTP has "no competitor" even though the General Premium costs almost the same?!
Polaris. Way over LOOKED. Honda was really good when Japanese people built.. Now every one is coming out with side by self. So silly. U want to be alone. Buy quad???
I have the General Premium and love it
I wish u do this 40 below. We see how Generals flawless is?
dirt Trax television has always been polaris bias. but I'm assuming polaris pays them alot. I agree the general is a major upgrade over the crap polaris previous models.
Had a 2014 Ranger. Never again. Spent more time at the dealer fixing everything than on the ranch. Worst utv ever owned.
Well don't blame the machine you are to be blamed
Dirttrax is also sponsored by Can-Am as well guys....sorry. .... hope the general is more reliable than some other Polaris models.... it seems a lot of polaris owners are always having more serious problems with their machines on all the forums I read. Im not biased I would take either machines, Can - Am seems like a better built rig IMO..
On a side note : when I look at both Polaris and Can-ams closely it seems Polaris parts are mostly from China and the Can-Am's have a lot of "made in Mexico" stickers as well.
tough decision this next spring ... I want a fun SXS that I can take hunting, exploring, sport and still use around the house, these are my only two options so far... Ive tried most already....
They forgot the Honda Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5
I have driven both the Commander and the General and i own a Can Am Commander DPS 800 I have to say you Got the winner wrong on this one ride and comfort goes to the commander all you have to do is remove the rear sway bar rear suspension travel is increased and ride is greatly improved and it can still haul with no issues and for seat position commander allows for better visibility and for the General when hauling a load up hill it breaks traction all the time unless u put it in 4 wheel while the commander can pull same load in 2 wheel drive with out breaking traction you mite want to update this video Commander is clear winner plus the Generals motor may have more HP but more maintenance issue with oil leaking into the belt housing area getting on the belt causing belt slippage that can cause belt to catch fire Polaris knows of this issue and does nothing to fix it only says they will buy the unit back its happened to 3 of my friends i ride with who bought a General not they own Commanders
Yeah polaris. Polaris got so pro stuff but I was pretty sure that general will win but I know that can-am is not a easy opment BRP'S stuff is skill too. Their snowmobiles like ski-doo and lynx are cool 2017 sled of the year ski-doo won sled of the year 2018 polaris won they are pretty same but yeah nice video👌
What about the ranger, big red can-am defender
The commander base price is $5000 less
Yes luke but does my 15 year old cares?? Will u ever use this dump. The box is not smooth. Huh luke the General.u cant score these. There not in same league bro.
Hi how do you find the tires in the mud ?
Do you know anything about Mega Mayhem ?
Is the Can Am AS good As the 800 RZR or is it better in the mud .
I have the 800 RZR want to go to Can Am commander 1000 if it as good in the mud ?
I love my general deluxe
Polaris lover, i'll stick with my Yamaha viking, had it for 3 years with just over 2000 miles on it and have never turned a bolt on it except to install a high liter kit on it.

You left out the John Deere RSX850i.. It out performs the Teryx any day.
Its john deere you clown over priced and cheaply built
the only reason I won't by the general or any Polaris sxs is the electrical problems and the dam reverse chains break on them, besides the price tag on both the general and the commander you need deep pockets because the machines are always breaking something.
those lower a arms on polaris are begging to be destroyed by any rocks you come across.
Have a Polaris razor with a misfire problem that appeared after way expired. Factory and dealer haven’t a clue
Might as well just be a Polaris commercial.
Now compare the ranger to the commander
I t your choice to buy what you want so don't complain about it if you like polaris buy polaris if you like can am buy can am
People who say this video is biased are not seeing the bigger picture. Commander has been around for a long time, and has been underdeveloped since it's intro. As for the General, well it's new and Polaris had plenty of time to make a munch better sport/utility SXS. When it comes to SXS, you can't outdo a company that continuously outdo themselves. Everything about the General is better, apart from a few minor details... Hence why it won.
everything except reliability, how much better is a vehicle that breaks in the middle of a trail.
coming from polaris. The x3 kicks the crap out of any RZR
Right. The X3 is sick. I just bought a Rzr 1000 six months ago. Wish I knew about the X3 before buying.

You're begging so much your hands must look like cups
Lol probably tried to drive over the rough terrain in sport mode too. Have to disagree on a couple of the points
9h Yeah!!!
They goin with who pays the bills!!!
The trails here are gated at 60 inches. So the general doesn't fit. Commander for the win!
But the big differnce is can am has down hill braking polairs do not have down hill braking ability
thanks for this video, I was having a hard time picking from the two.
SKULLSHOT 84 get a Yamaha
Waylon Davis dont, I own a 686 stroker Yamaha Rhino and the power is there like with a Polaris. I own an 2008 rzr 800 and my dad owns a 2008 Yamaha Rhino 686. I’ve personally owned a few Yamahas and I love their atvs but if your buying a sxs get something with more than one piston.
