A year later and this is still one of my favorite videos you guys have put out. You all where like kids in a candy store. High on a sugar rush or should I say RS1 rush!! Just makes me laugh watching you guys laugh your ways through the first seat times. I had just bought a RS1 right before this video and I still have that type of smile on my face every time I'm behind the wheel. These machines are truly a blast to drive. You guys have come a long way in the past year and the RS1 still is on your favorites list I see. Keep up the great job you are all doing. CONGRATS !!!
After 3 years of owning my RS1 I always go back to watch this video. When they were new. Still own mine, and gonna build the girl big time this year. Im looking at buying a new 2 up quad,,, but will always keep my RS. Its one of a kind for sure!
I've been waiting for this! Thank you guys for the great video. I trust your opinions and I will finish out this season on my quad. In the off season I will purchase my new RS1. You can let Polaris know that your video and your opinions alone convinced one of your viewers to buy an RS1. Thanks again for your videos. All the best, Rob
yeah buddy! i just rethought everything! stock! cheap! sweet! super fun says guys that have run them all! look at their faces- these guys run 200hp turbo machines and they are just grinin like schoolgirls! on this STOCK unit -im sold! and never considered one before! now it seems the one to own!
Love it. I'm excited to see you guys in the rs1. It's not something I would buy, but it's interesting and I can't wait to see you guys put it through it's paces. Keep up the great work.
Thank u guys for the test u do on all these machines it gives me and all the other viewers good information with the real world testing u do. I can watch exactly how these machines perform youns do a great job
Sous's smile says it all! I'm ready to get one of these bad ass machines. Love my highlifter 1k 4 but it has its draw backs, need somthing that can run on regular trails not just in the Florida swamps.
I can't wait to test ride one. I have a RZR4, Ace 570 and an Ace 325. I find myself riding the Aces more than I do the RZR4. The Aces are a blast, so I can't imagine how a larger single seater like this rides. Polaris knocked it out of the park with this machine.
I was taught to brake with my left foot in the ROHVA SxS training course. Lets you move at a super slow speed over obstacles by modulating the brakes instead of the touchier throttle.
So funny story, when we were picking up our x3 today I sat in this and I was astonished. It feels incredible and like you guys were saying your body is the point of rotation when you turn. SO stoked for the series to race these things and I would not be super surprised if Can Am follows suit.
Hey guys,,, hope things are sendish! This is like the 10th or more times I’ve watched this! Reason being, as in last replies to your blogs, I’m waiting to get my Razor Safety 1 on the trails! Bought mine late in the year,and really have had no seat time except for some mind bending cyclones. I just love the reactions from all you guys bout the RS! Specially sous’s hand stand flip! Thanks so much for posting stuff like this to keep me hyped for my first trail ride! Oh, by the way,,, the vid with you all on the pond, studded ,,was friggin intense, along with all your other vids! Keep up the fantastic vids guys! Usually catching all vids within 20 minutes after posting! ⌚️
It still has that clatter evey time you hit the brakes. I think its play in the rear driven pully or driveline. My 570 did it bad I figured they could have got rid of it by now. I guess it donsent hurt anything. Super cool machine though. A beast.
That looks like so much fun wish I was able to get a test unit like that to just rip and beat up so I could give a review. I've got a ditch that I've always wanted to jump, which I've seen y'alls machines jump plenty far enough to clear it easy. I'd be had ramps built all over my different pastures jumping ditches and bayous
After I watched this video, I knew I was buying an RS1! Best machine for your money hands down! I don't know that I'd want a 2 seater after having this.
RS1-- REAL SHIT #1 that unit looks like a blast. perfect description below- Honda odyssey/pilot on steroids..the buggy not the van/suv.. LOL- Sous cracks me up...reminds me of Daniel Tosh's stand up bit- edited for this application “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” Uh, do you live in America? ‘Cause it buys a SxS Have you ever seen a sad person on a SxS? Have you? Seriously, have you? Try to frown on a SxS. You can’t!great job buds- big fan- one day you guys are gonna blow up
Nice! Glad to see you give it the treatment :) Can't wait to see the other machines run the gauntlet and see some lap comparisons. One has to wonder how much better it could be with ShockTherapy rebuilds and/or a turbo....maybe just compare it to the Turbo S and see what comes of it! Great work once again, keep it up.
I looked at these hard when I was getting ready to buy. But the main issue I had is it had absolutely no storage space. So if you are at the dunes then it would be a lot of fun, but if you decide to hit up the trails and want to carry a cooler, then there's no chance.
I think the gauntlet race maybe more.interesting is the condition of 3 laps but one lap has.to consist of going around the far tree and skipping the hair pin for one lap. Fastest combined time.holds record!!
So which one would you recommend for FAST driving and drifting on flat Sand, Gravel and much Corners, Sharp Corners... RS1 or Yamaha YXZ 1000r. ???? Only fast driving, No technical stuff, No Jumps.
You guys are really gonna love that thing. If u wanna rail a tight ass corner it will cut it as sharp as a u want it to..little tracks give you a taste but try going on your tighter trails and you will see the way of the RS1 😉
Awesome I can’t wait to see some more. Tell me honestly does it feel like it has plenty of power or would you want more do you think it could turn some paddles in the dunes or a set of 32s on the trails or on the rocks. I’m so excited to hear what your honest opinion is when you’re all done with it. A big two thumbs up 👍👍 to the greatest show on TH-cam. Thanks guys.
Just ripped the dunes with it yesterday on 30" paddles. It worked well! No lack of power. The suspension isn't as smooth as the wider units but it takes big hits awesome.
I had a single seat, 3 cylinder, long travel rail. When i ripped my first side x side it felt weird. I came from quads to the rail and then added the side x side and have been looking at an RS1 because the single seater just felt so right and faster even though it wasn't. I want to rip one to see if a single seat rail is my future again or the RS1.
I have been waiting for a single seat since I owned a Redline Revolt. The one thing I wanted was more power. I am hoping someone comes out with a turbo version.
hey guy I'm a new subscriber really like your content excited for the rs1 I'm a ace owner got the 570 and I love it the only complaint I have is the suspension it is a neck and back breaker lol the rs1 looks so mean to me but it's a lil wide for the tails and a lil too high in price
What are the X3, XPT S, Wildcat XX and YXZ getting for lap times? Might be a good quick test. Drags are one thing but laps around a track like that are the real test if you ask me.
Hey do a flash back to your podcast when you talked about this, you didn't think it had much potential is my take 🤔 but it is sweet you are giving it a fair shake now,I'm kinda in a bad spot with a weight problem with towing so my brand new Jeep Cherokee can tow 2000 pounds, the X3 is 1800 give or take,tis is 1300 give or take so now with a light trailer I might be good,ps I should have checked the tow capability or the 4 cylinder to v6,a difference of 2000, to 5000 pounds,dam I'm dumb,but your video so far has me excited, can't wait for more, please do a little crawling in it,I'm a hill climber at heart, thanks guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does the RS1 use the same carrier bearing design as the XP1K? If so it would be neat to see it on video compared to the old XP1K design, as well as the Turbo S since Polaris carrier bearing issues have been so common.
I really want one of these. I feel like I maybe should wait for 2020 in case they come out with a factory turbo option. Have you guys heard any rumors?
Awesome first impression video! Just out of curiosity, did you guys mess with the clickers on the shocks at all or were you flying at stock middle click? I'm assuming you had the clickers all the way up on the long jumps..... if not, then wow! That thing flys exactly how I wish mine would!!! ........time for cartwheel/handspring 😎😎😎
Here's a question for ya.... Do you think that had Polaris put this unit out first before side by side where ever invented.,.. would the market be where it is now. Or do you think one seaters would be the majority? Hmm...
A year later and this is still one of my favorite videos you guys have put out. You all where like kids in a candy store. High on a sugar rush or should I say RS1 rush!!

Thanks David!
absolutely 100 what you just said David 100! i think top 3 videos ever from them ! who would have thought!
Best review I’ve ever seen on the RS1! You guys are the real deal for getting to know a machine. Thanks for the videos
After 3 years of owning my RS1 I always go back to watch this video. When they were new. Still own mine, and gonna build the girl big time this year. Im looking at buying a new 2 up quad,,, but will always keep my RS. Its one of a kind for sure!

yeah buddy! i just rethought everything! stock! cheap! sweet! super fun says guys that have run them all! look at their faces- these guys run 200hp turbo machines and they are just grinin like schoolgirls! on this STOCK unit -im sold! and never considered one before! now it seems the one to own!
This is the best review I have ever seen on the RS1. I think you guys have just sold some RS1's for Polaris. Great video guys.
Sous’s version of a excited cartwheel proves this RS1 must be something super fun to drive. 110 🤩🤩🤩 and I’m still rolling😂😂😂😂
seriously! I'm already having a hard enough time deciding on what machine I want to buy and then you have this! LOL
Love it. I'm excited to see you guys in the rs1. It's not something I would buy, but it's interesting and I can't wait to see you guys put it through it's paces. Keep up the great work.
Mark Stangl shoot id buy it if i could.
Billy Mcclanahan I'll rephrase that. I'd buy it if it fit my lifestyle. But I have a xpt4 for the family. If it was just me I'd totally get one.
Mark Stangl agreed, i need one for the family though.
Thank u guys for the test u do on all these machines it gives me and all the other viewers good information with the real world testing u do. I can watch exactly how these machines perform youns do a great job
Thanks for watching!
So awesome you guys got one of these as a test unit! Loving it!
Sous's smile says it all! I'm ready to get one of these bad ass machines. Love my highlifter 1k 4 but it has its draw backs, need somthing that can run on regular trails not just in the Florida swamps.
Doug - "We're being a little nice, this isn't technically ours". Got a laugh out of that statement as Sous has is on two wheels. Good video guys!
I can't wait to test ride one. I have a RZR4, Ace 570 and an Ace 325. I find myself riding the Aces more than I do the RZR4. The Aces are a blast, so I can't imagine how a larger single seater like this rides. Polaris knocked it out of the park with this machine.

Yup, it's true!
im so happy you guys are growing so fast! been a suber since the original 1000 subs easily its been an awesome journey to see
I bought one and will be out on madden voyage this weekend! I can't wait!!! The cart wheel made me do it!
It's so good to see u kids sharing a new toy.
Come a long way from the cats and mavericks and teddy kleinsmith trailers. Been watching you goons since the beginning. Keep up the good work!
You ain't wrong Evan. Shit's getting real. lol
I've been waiting for this vid for so long! Thanks guys! Cant wait to see more.
The look Nick gives the cameraman in the air is classic.
For a quad rider think this would be great. Being in the center looking at the open wheels etc
Great review. Kudos to Polaris for making it. Reminds me of the Honda Pilot from the 90’s. Hope Polaris bring them to the UK.
That thing seems to turn really quick and precise. Doesn't seem to push the front as much as the bigger models.
I recently picked up an rs1 , it is a really fun machine , I am happy I got it
Sous's stamp of approval was classic👍I want one
Hey guys,,, hope things are sendish! This is like the 10th or more times I’ve watched this! Reason being, as in last replies to your blogs, I’m waiting to get my Razor Safety 1 on the trails!

Thank you very much Kevin!
Great vid guys! Again, super down to earth first ride review! Just like its one of us having the opportunity! 👍👍👍👍
means a lot bro
It still has that clatter evey time you hit the brakes. I think its play in the rear driven pully or driveline. My 570 did it bad I figured they could have got rid of it by now. I guess it donsent hurt anything. Super cool machine though. A beast.
It's the chatter on the secondary clutch which is inherent to larger secondary clutches that the RS1 and RZR Turbos have.
On the fence for the rs1 cant wait to see all your vids on it, Lets see how tough this thing is.
It’s crazy to see how far the RS1 has come from.
That looks like so much fun wish I was able to get a test unit like that to just rip and beat up so I could give a review. I've got a ditch that I've always wanted to jump, which I've seen y'alls machines jump plenty far enough to clear it easy. I'd be had ramps built all over my different pastures jumping ditches and bayous
Jumping ditches. Classic sketchy
SXSBlog.com that's got Sous written on it. Lol
SXS Blog has made it to the big league!!! RS1 is..... neatoooh!
After I watched this video, I knew I was buying an RS1! Best machine for your money hands down! I don't know that I'd want a 2 seater after having this.
RS1-- REAL SHIT #1 that unit looks like a blast. perfect description below- Honda odyssey/pilot on steroids..the buggy not the van/suv.. LOL- Sous cracks me up...reminds me of Daniel Tosh's stand up bit- edited for this application “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” Uh, do you live in America? ‘Cause it buys a SxS Have you ever seen a sad person on a SxS?

Great work once again, keep it up.
Can’t wait to see your trail review, and see how it does drag racing the other machines
Hell yeah, Finally. Awesome guys.
Everyone Keeps saying Honda Odyssey but are we forgetting the Honda Pilot.....used to love those things.
Or the "Redline Revolt" very cool machine.
Just not the same, alot seem to want to pretend it is.. lol
Or the Honda Element
Look it is cute to try to compare, but they are not equal in comparison. It is like trying to say a bugatti is the same as a jetta.
Wow! When these were released I just remember thinking why? After seeing you guys give er’ 110.... want one! Can’t wait for more savagery.
I looked at these hard when I was getting ready to buy. But the main issue I had is it had absolutely no storage space. So if you are at the dunes then it would be a lot of fun, but if you decide to hit up the trails and want to carry a cooler, then there's no chance.
Man the little deal in the back some some tie down points. You could get a baby cooler in there fo sho.
If I had space for it I'd buy one tomorrow based on this review alone! Yall look like a couple of kids on christmas!!!
It felt like it!
I think the gauntlet race maybe more.interesting is the condition of 3 laps but one lap has.to consist of going around the far tree and skipping the hair pin for one lap. Fastest combined time.holds record!!
Awesome video! Looks like a blast to drive.
Dam guess you guys made it. testing brand new machines. looks like a blast.
Leonardo is ready for the RS1 lyfe!!
hahahahah I WANA LIVE IT!
RS1 owner,,, its a "1K selfie" I like to think its the best weird thing ever.
I agree,owner here,an its a blast,I rather be by myself ,the way I drive nobody wants to ride with me anyhow.
Sous seemed more excited about the RS1 than his Turba S
Theres a certain excitement to having fun in something you didn't buy lol
Damn you to hell SXSBlog and Polaris! Must resist urge....
I love my Ace 570 but good lord that makes me wanna trade it in on an RS1.
Love it, can't wait to see more on this unit. Would love to get a couple for the wife and I.
what is the noise at 22:39 the clicking. i hear it all the time on videos and stuff but can never figure out what is cuasing it.
Chatter of the secondary clutch. Pretty much standard sound when hard braking. It's no big deal.
SXSBlog.com thanks for the heads up! That bad boy is SICK!
😂😂😂sous! Lost it bud! 👍👍even forgot the names of his other machines. 😂😂😂awesome guys
i hear that ! i quit my search!
.....and finally from the sunset, the yup yup man, Doug.....🤓
110 Bud's shreddy life Rs1 awesome 😍😍😎😎
do whatever you want with it she's stamped dude!
So which one would you recommend for FAST driving and drifting on flat Sand, Gravel and much Corners, Sharp Corners... RS1 or Yamaha YXZ 1000r. ????
Only fast driving, No technical stuff, No Jumps.
Wow! Congratulations! If I had the money for a new machine I would say you just sold me on one.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but thanks guys. pushing PLAY now..
Yes does that mean yes to all replacement for Ace Plus comes with snorkels
Man that looked fun! This could be the perfect second unit for Sous! Sell 110 and keep that one! Just a thought. So cool. Thanks for the video.
Why not keep em all!?!
SXSBlog.com that would work too! Either way I see this machine staying with you guys.
You guys need to prepare for a response safety by that water for a rollover . Suck to be upside down , even if it’s a foot of water 💧 .
It would be about 3 seconds of laughing then all hands on deck
You guys are really gonna love that thing. If u wanna rail a tight ass corner it will cut it as sharp as a u want it to..little tracks give you a taste but try going on your tighter trails and you will see the way of the RS1 😉
And on a side note with the pricing, these things in Colorado are being sold they day they hit showroom floors. Great value for performance
January 2024, who would have thought the RS1 would still be around and what it has turned into. Unreal. Lol.
Awesome. And you can buy 2 for the cost of some SxS..
Right? So much fun.
The speed and power to write ratio is almost the same as the Thousand Turbo
Awesome I can’t wait to see some more. Tell me honestly does it feel like it has plenty of power or would you want more do you think it could turn some paddles in the dunes or a set of 32s on the trails or on the rocks. I’m so excited to hear what your honest opinion is when you’re all done with it. A big two thumbs up 👍👍 to the greatest show on TH-cam. Thanks guys.
Just ripped the dunes with it yesterday on 30" paddles. It worked well! No lack of power. The suspension isn't as smooth as the wider units but it takes big hits awesome.
SXSBlog.com Thanks for the info I can’t wait to see video of it. I hope you guys have a great 4th of July please stay safe.
Will do Danny!
See need to include Steve more hahah he posted fastest lap around the gauntlet..... so far that is haha
I had a single seat, 3 cylinder, long travel rail. When i ripped my first side x side it felt weird. I came from quads to the rail and then added the side x side and have been looking at an RS1 because the single seater just felt so right and faster even though it wasn't.
I want to rip one to see if a single seat rail is my future again or the RS1.
RS1 LIFE
AWESOME guys!! Thanks for another great video!
THANKS !!! Guys because of your video I bought me one 2021 Indy Red and 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great review. Looking forward to future vids. 👍🏻
I love SXSBLOG too much fun guys don't forget about the red line buggy this looks better though
We would love to compare one to the RS1!
I have been waiting for a single seat since I owned a Redline Revolt. The one thing I wanted was more power. I am hoping someone comes out with a turbo version.
theonlyone83 i mean its obvious that the turba is gonna be slapped in it next year or so lol
looks like a fun lil unite buds. awesome video!
I took mines to Hollister trails and it did insanely great
Nick is the commander n leap!
Sultan of Send!
Y'all need to bring them things over ta Windrock Park in TN
Next on sxs blog we turbo the RS1
That thing lands dead flat. Must be amazingly balanced
hey guy I'm a new subscriber really like your content excited for the rs1 I'm a ace owner got the 570 and I love it the only complaint I have is the suspension it is a neck and back breaker lol the rs1 looks so mean to me but it's a lil wide for the tails and a lil too high in price
Yeah the bigger and wider you go the more they smooth out!
Love the look over thumbs up....nice moves!!
Now that was fun to watch,4 kids with a new toy yaaaaa
Would love to see a Raptor 700 vs this RS1 around the track.
So good it'll make you do cartwheels lol. Looks fun.
What are the X3, XPT S, Wildcat XX and YXZ getting for lap times? Might be a good quick test. Drags are one thing but laps around a track like that are the real test if you ask me.
Yeah man we'll do a comparo real soon!
Hey do a flash back to your podcast when you talked about this, you didn't think it had much potential is my take 🤔 but it is sweet you are giving it a fair shake now,I'm kinda in a bad spot with a weight problem with towing so my brand new Jeep Cherokee can tow 2000 pounds, the X3 is 1800 give or take,tis is 1300 give or take so now with a light trailer I might be good,ps I should have checked the tow capability or the 4 cylinder to v6,a difference of 2000, to 5000 pounds,dam I'm dumb,but your video so far has me excited, can't wait for more, please do a little crawling in it,I'm a hill climber at heart, thanks guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Confucius say, "is a single seat side by side still a side by side"?
Does the RS1 use the same carrier bearing design as the XP1K? If so it would be neat to see it on video compared to the old XP1K design, as well as the Turbo S since Polaris carrier bearing issues have been so common.
I really want one of these. I feel like I maybe should wait for 2020 in case they come out with a factory turbo option. Have you guys heard any rumors?
I wish I knew. :(
I thought the same thing but I couldn't wait!! Just got mine last week and LOVE it!!
Awesome first impression video! Just out of curiosity, did you guys mess with the clickers on the shocks at all or were you flying at stock middle click? I'm assuming you had the clickers all the way up on the long jumps..... if not, then wow! That thing flys exactly how I wish mine would!!! ........time for cartwheel/handspring 😎😎😎
Imagine a long travel rs1 or a turbo rs1 I would definitely get one if the offered it
Another great review guys! Any idea what the damage is on one of these ?
Good dealer probably around 12k. MSRP is 13.9.
Here's a question for ya.... Do you think that had Polaris put this unit out first before side by side where ever invented.,.. would the market be where it is now. Or do you think one seaters would be the majority? Hmm...
imagine turbos and widetracks.. I think the future will be single seats. Atvss revolution.
Dude. Probably would have changed things pretty significantly.
@@SXSBlog yeah your world woulda looked way diff. if that happened
Do timed laps for all the machines
We will! It's been tough getting everyone and everything there and ready all at once.
love the videos guys keep it up! why is this vid in 360p?
That was great. What has sous been smoking? Needs to share
Where do you guys live I love this lifestyle! Need to get myself a large field like that!!!??
Ok. I really want one!
