    Very good honest feedback. The main point being, the Pro R is awesome but unaffordable for many people. The X3 RR is way less money and competes right along side the R.

    My only 2 beefs with the PRo R (beyond the tires is 1. Mine will not shift from 2WD into 4WD unless I’m stopped. 2. Gas mileage is terrible!
    Things you need to get used to that are awesome
    1. Ride Command. It’s a neat tool, but if you don’t know how to use it, it’s frustrating.
    2. Many times I’ve gone from being in one drive/suspension mode for a while, and then get into a different scenario and completely forget to switch it to another mode.
    3. The car is so fun and exhilarating to drive, that I really have to be mindful when driving on paved roads or near houses. I try to keep the noise down, and not rip around town, but there is nothing like the sound of burning some rubber. Gotta tame the beast inside!
    Great Video!

    It's actually normal for the springs to sag like that. They're just settling. My shock therapy springs did the same thing after 3 months.

      @SchmidtysOffroad 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It normal for springs to settle but not to continuously settle like the stock Polaris springs will. Shock therapy even tells you their springs settle once and after that you lock your ride height in and never have to adjust it again. I have adjusted my stock springs several times to get it back to stock ride height but they keep sagging. But that’s why aftermarket is so big for springs! Awesome review!

    I went from xp4 1000 to can am x3 XRS rr in 2020 was a no brainer at the time I couldn’t wait I was out driving the xp. I needed more speed. Pro R is definitely beast but like you said it all comes to what you can afford. No regrets on the can am for sure. Maybe my next car will be a pro r but who knows😂.

    I have a Pro R ordered from same place you got yours and supposed to be part of the October build order. So, I'm sure we'll see you around. Quick question about the tires, what is the air pressure you run them at around on those Havasu trails?

    @Desert SXS on a stock 2 seat pro r versus a stock 2 seat turbo r, when comparing engine noise, engine exhaust noise, transmission noise, and driveline noise in the cabin while driving is one of the two models noticeable louder than the other? Also comparing engine heat, cvt heat, and radiator heat in the cabin while driving is one of the two models noticeable hotter than the other ?

    I really want a new SxS I'm at that point where everyone in my group has something nicer than my customized 2015 XP1000. I have no problems keeping up in the dunes, just getting up some of the larger hills makes me sad. Just have to be full throttle more often I guess. I put probably the cost of the vehicle back into it in mods, cage lights, seats sereo, belts skids arms, doors seats, suspension, radios. Not looking forward to having to do all that all over again. I have not added a turbo as I don't think it would handle the power very well, and seems better to just learn to drive it as is (I already broke both clutches, radius rods, and drive shaft at 3085 miles). Looks like with the Can Ams and some turbo mods you can get close to 300HP, most people seem to be buying those in our group. Probably going to wait to see how my friends runs with a tune and new turbo. I have never driven a Canam though. I kinda miss the old days where your vehicle wouldn't be out of date in a few years. I still have my 86 250R and 2000 Banshee.
