must be over a hundred reviews of the new Gen Commander 1000 and not one of the 700 that at almost $6000 CDN cheaper NOT ONE review on TH-cam. Do they even exist in the real world? Can it tow like the 1000? How much do you lose on top end? Is the extra 300cc really that big of a game changer?
Thanks for watching. We just now got a Commander 700 on our floor. We have driven it around the lot and it feels close to the low end power of the 1000 Commander. I am sure it will go 55-65 mph and do what most want it to do with the 700 engine size. I like it over the 1000 for the savings.
The 700 commander has 52 hp and has the same engine as the 800 HD defender which I have. I know the defender is a rec utility. But I'll say this. You should have no trouble . It hasn't let me down in regards of power. Plenty of get up and go. And my defender is half billy goat lol. I think for the difference in price and your not looking to be a Speed demon it'd be a good choice. And the money you'd save put it towards upgrades and build it to your style
I've had mine for a couple months 670 Miles.. Love the machine Other then 3 things. Sway bar bushings constantly need grease , Visco locker sucked ( Switched out with a Torq locker ), and the shocks suck ( Body Roll ) needs the Fox 2.5s like the xtp. Other then that runs good pretty good bang for the $$$
Did u notice that heat does come up thru the gear shift lever ? It seems to do that on my 2021 commander , also ive only noticed 4 grease zerks , have u found any more ?
Thanks for watching. Yeah some heat does come up through the shifter. If it is to much you can get some EVA foam and us it to help block the heat and keep it out of the cab. I will look, we have not paid to much attention to the grease fittings.
Thanks for watching. Yeah absolutely, Just the features it has like the doors, and the tilt bed, storage inside the bed panels, ability to work it all week and then go ride the trails on the weekend. The Commander is set up perfect to do what you need it to.
Nice to see out on the trail
Thanks for watching.

@@AdrenalineCyclesKy Thank you, every so often I type Commander 700 in the search bar so if you upload a ride review you'll have at least one viewer.

Because nobody cares about a 502hp POS version and how cheap you are🤷🏻♂️

Thanks for watching. Yeah It can squeak for sure. And I am always wanting better shocks for sure.
Do you know if you can upgrade to the fox shocks easily? I saw the xtp only has 14 inches of travel verse 15 for the xt

Would you consider this a good beginner sxs? Trying to decide which to but for trail riding and some general utility. (Midwest trails)
Thanks for watching. Yeah absolutely, Just the features it has like the doors, and the tilt bed, storage inside the bed panels, ability to work it all week and then go ride the trails on the weekend. The Commander is set up perfect to do what you need it to.
how tall are you and do you feel your leg room is tight?
Im 6 ft and i find that with the seat all the way back and even half way up that i have plenty of leg room in my commander
Thanks for watching. I am 6'7" tall and I have plenty of leg room. Its comfortable and I can move my legs around inside with no issues.
Thanks for watching.
Makes a lot of squeaks
Thanks for watching. Yeah the microphones pick up a lot more noise than normally would.
Sway bar bushings.. I Have to grease mine 2-3 times per day when riding all day or it squeaks all the time. And i changed the bushings at 600 miles.
Can the sway bars be removed or disconnected?
