Great video! I would totally agree, yes it’s a lot of money, and you’ll most definitely put more money into it, but it is an amazing ride for sure!!
I bought the 2020 Can Am x3 xrc rr and I absolutely love it. I was torn between the 2 different machines.
I love my Rzr and I love Moab... Great video!!
Did he just say $28000 and I still have to buy a trailer to tow this thing around ....come on man!
Base is 22k...
No for 28k you could majorly customize it I do recommend a normal xp 1000 tho
There is a place called the "Maze" in southern Utah that will allow jeeps but not RZRs etc. 28k would allow you into places like this, but there are many places that I can go with my RZR that a jeep could not follow.
Thing sounds like the Tyco Baja Bandit I used to drive around when I was a kid! Love it!
Are you talking about the Turbo Bandit?
@@mikesrandomvidz5844 Maybe it was called the turbo bandit but in the early 90s I thought the truck was called the Baja Bandit.
Great review.
I hope the economic correction will bring ATV and car dealers back down to reality by at least 50%.
Don't hold your breadth. We may see short term promotions but don't expect much more than that.
It won't.
You realize theres more tech in that than the budget car you drive, right?
@@toml1446 I never stated I drive a budget car.
Tom l why you trying to justify the ricockulous price of this go kart? I see these things used with 3 -4K miles on them. I see used cars that cost 28000 with 200k on them. The cars have an old technology called heat and air that seem almost magical compared to the technology of this go kart. Come on man
I would love to have one!! but out my prize range...awesome! review thank you for sharing
Good review
I just Picked up a 19' Honda Talon 1000R used with 50 miles for $16K. I'm here in WestVirginia and we drive all the old Coal Mine and Logging roads. It does everything you want and soaks up all the bumps. I'm half throttling this thing on the trails so 105hp is plenty. You can always spend more cash.
It’s a power to weight ratio of 1hp to 16 lbs. worse than my Honda Civic. Fine for trails but climbing steep dunes is something else. My 40hp dirt bike struggled with some dunes and that’s 11lbs per hp. My 50hp 450 had zero issues and that’s 9lbs per hp.
.
Crawling and trails you don’t need more than 50hp to be honest. It’s the wide open desert and dune running that requires awesome suspension and power.
@@KTMcaptain I think you forgot both the manual/automatic gearing of the honda talon as well as the low range. Dropping down 1 gear would make a huge difference. I haven't driven one but it should be amazing in the dunes. I believe max speed in low is 50mph.
@@factionfx gearing doesn’t make up for power. In fact, gearing can make up for not enough engine torque but it cannot make up for power. Trust me, my car is slow, it has low gearing, low end turbo torque, and a manual for efficiency. It’s too slow for the dunes.
.
In the sand low range gearing will make you sink. Wheel speed and power is the only thing sand respects, well alongside pressure from weight and tire surface area.
.
You don’t need much power to rock climb, but you do need a lot to dune and run through the desert. Duning takes a lot of power to keep afloat the sand and desert running requires a power to affect the attitude of the vehicle over obstacles. For example, you’re heading into a whoops section at 70mph you want to accelerate and shift the weight to the rear. You need power to do this effectively. You also need power to keep the speed up when the tires only contact 10% of the ground running over whoops.
.
A dirt bike can get away with low power in the desert because 40% of the weight can be shifted around, but in the dunes a weak dirt bike is the worst and requires tons of momentum and commitment by the rider. After 1 dune session in glamis I sold my 40hp dirt bike because it didn’t have the power for duning. It did fine on small dunes with more moisture, aka pismo beach dunes, but in glamis it was over 10,000 rpm everywhere and constantly lost steam up hills.
.
Can it dune, sure. But it will be at full tilt the entire time and won’t be cresting dune transitions with authority and the driver better know what they’re doing to keep it from getting stuck.
@@KTMcaptain Thanks for the detailed reply. I think we ride the dunes at way different skill levels and speeds. I would imagine you could dune a lot better in a 100hp talon than you could in a 100hp polaris just because you have the ability to keep the talon always be at 8000 rpm. With the polaris you have no choice. I've ridden in the dunes so do understand the power requirements. My machines (polaris atvs) barely make it up the little sahara in oklahoma at 30mph...and you're talking about hitting the tops with 50-70mph with power left over
How is that R on the trails? Im in Pa and wondered about the turning radius some people talk about.
Best way to practice social distancing. Go rip in the middle of nowhere!
I 2nd this action!
utah wanderlust700 this was shot a couple weeks ago
@@TFLclassics haha ah ok. Still a good way to go to practice 🤣
First thing West Virginia did was to shut down the Hatfield and McCoy trails. Go figure.
Glad to see these guys are still doing good reviews and stuff. A lot of people that do these aren't good or just boring.
Nice review guys. $28K is a lot of money but that is a pretty specific race style machine, it's not your average SxS. I was talking to a friend recently who is thinking of getting a ATV/SxS and he was leaning towards an ATV based on price even though a SxS would definitely suit his needs better. I showed him a few base model SxS machines and explained he didn't really need all the extras of higher level machines. Idea suggestion - do a video comparing base model machines like a Can Am Commander 800, Teryx 2, Arctic Cat Trail etc. to show people there are capable and fun machines out there at reasonable prices.
" Idea suggestion - do a video comparing base model machines like a Can Am Commander 800, Teryx 2, Arctic Cat Trail etc. to show people there are capable and fun machines out there at reasonable prices." YES, PLEASE! :)
You must add CFMoto to that list. Many people saying their quality has improved the last couple of years.
Polaris xp is garbage... Weak cage, can am smokes it rocks and dunes
@@spyder000069 Three friends of mine have CF Moto SxS. Two of them are the 500, and one is the 1000. Both of the 500's are garbage, break all the time. In fact one guy sold his 500 after 2 years and bought a used Can Am Commander 1000. The CF Moto 1000 actually seems to a decent machine so far.
success for life the transmission fall out of Canam sxs so ya......sure
I love my new RZR. Just got a new windshield for it! I have clips of it too in my last video!
I live in Utah and love it here! Polaris for the win 👍 Another outstanding video lads 😎
In June I purchased a 2021 RZR XP Pro Ultimate and after adding high coverage bumpers, winch, roof, windshield, rear cooler, 5150 186 Whips, NRP Shifter (stock shifter is horrible) and RZR Division street legal OEM light kit, tax title and license $37,496 and that is with me doing all the work putting the add-ons in myself. Is it worth it? HECK YES! I live in Colorado and use it constantly here. Took it to Moab Utah and Mojave CA too. Didn't make it to Pismo as planned but will this year. Anyone can drive this, it's the best toy I have every built. Next winter engine upgrades!
You forgot to mention it's "AUTO" 4x4 meaning when you have it in 4 wheel drive it's will only engage when needed!
i realize Im pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?
I knew I was in for a let down and a great laugh when it said expert review
From these idiots lol
Lol
28 is maybe lil too much...but its definitely an Awesome machine..Hours n hours of fun on these...Thanks again Roman n Tommy.. Those trails look really cool for offroading
Sebastien Loeb is a beast. Great reference, even though a lot of people might not know who he is lol
I CANT AFFORD FOOD OR MASKS NOW.. BUT A MAVERICK X3 RR AND A FULL TANK..
you can drive on the streets in Arizona as well
I think it’s Fox’s “Live Valve” suspension, correct? Not to nitpick. They actually brought that technology to mountain biking too now.
LOL.. Ya'd never take it through a freshy cut Woods operation here in Eastern Canada. The little sticks would take out that intake and CV boots right fast!! We've seen the dealers bring in Machine with rocks Stuck up in beside the front rad and rubbing through. We need an Armored up version here. Not a desert machine but more a Skidder, rock crawling type machine.
We are going to do some social Distancing this memorial day weekend can’t wait
Wow! Nice review. I want your job! Seriously though. What are your thoughts on the belt vs Hondas new direct drive system? I love Honda, but man, Polaris loads these things up nicely for about the same price. Tough decision.
Anything besides polaris. Mines a piece of crap
My brand new RZR 4 turbo with 30 hours threw a belt and caused $3,400 worth of damage. The kicker is they denied the claim. Dealer was 100% sure it would be covered. NOPE!!! listen to all the stories about how weak these belts and transmissions are. I did not take the warnings seriously.
Typical Polaris corporate greed they don’t cover anything under warranty
Nice toy! IF I had the money and terrain/weather for it, it would be on my list based off this review. Granted Tommy makes a better point for those not in ideal weather/terrain situations which is for that price one could have a very nice road legal jeep with the roof, space for more gear and of course the luxuries like heater/AC, windshield..etc. lol Then you can go anywhere, not just on an open air adventure.
If you think a jeep can do half of this… u smoking drugs… this is something special…
Make sure the 1500 hood doesn't fly off. Those side by sides you can spend as much as you want. Get Can Am super charged.
And still doesn't come with full doors ? Still alot of cheap made parts for 28K !
And it will run all day long with a 250k trophy truck.
True!!!!......have an '18 Turbo....love it!!!!!......but it comes with NOTHING!!!!.....no winch, half doors.....interior spartan and ill-fitting.....but, DAMN!!!!.....is it a beast!! :-)
And thats why you buy a canam x3
@@richfarfugnuven6308 no it won’t, just like a raptor can’t run all day with a rzr. Trophy trucks can swallow terrain like nothing else.
.
Maybe some day they’ll come out with an 80” track 120” wheelbase unit with 30” of travel and 35” tires pushing 400hp.
.
But I will give you this, they are fast and can push through some really nasty stuff.
@@KTMcaptain you may be suprised if you drive the new ones. My new Can Am will run the desert at 100 mph all day. With a tune and exhaust over 200 ponies as well. 195 stock from the factory
Nice review, I just recently had to make the choice between turbo s and pro xp. I chose the Turbo S, it looks better and I like the wider stance better. Once you drive something like this you will know why its almost 30k. You go down trails at 30-40 miles an hour that people with built jeeps that have thousands of dollar in mods are still crawling down at 5 mph.
I agree. I have 2018 turbo s and I love it!
the Turbo S is amazing but just think, the pro xp is a new platform so i wouldnt be shocked to see wider more capable ones in the future!. the Turbo S is the ultimate xp. what will the ultimate Pro be?
@@tristanhipps604 what really turned me away is the pro is alot more expensive to fix. The parts cost alot more, and lets face it. If you use these things how they are suppose to be used they are goomg to break.
This. Have you heard of Reddington Pass in Tuscon , Az. I took one of these ther, it took rocks like a breeze. All the jeeps were stuck
Wouldn't a 25k 4wd daily desert long travel truck work also.?
OK you convinced me...its worth it
Screw that. I just bought a old Polaris scrambler 400 2 stroke for 1200 bucks. That old 2 stroke is more fun than anything I’ve ever had lol
Just got mine yesterday and all I have to say is that this is exactly what my life needed lmao it’s amazing .
You say it can do Chicken corners faster than a dirt bike. I'd love to race you. I live in Moab and ride that trail all the time on my dirt bike. I've never been passed by a side by side ,ever. I'd love the challenge.
Do you think it would climb Hamburger Hill & the other tough ones toward the end of Kane Creek?
We have been Down cane creek multiple times in a two seat and four seat RZR and those hills are not difficult they are way more capable than people realize.
Hey TFL...how did you get past the travel ban in Moab? Where did you stay since you aren't allowed to spend the night in Grand County or Emery County? I live in Utah, and we had a club ride scheduled in Moab this weekend, but it got cancelled by the southern Utah health dept.
I'm guessing this was filmed a couple weeks ago and just got posted today. Plus I'm not sure what the rules are for Utah right now but hotels and anything involving groups might be cancelled but doesn't necessarily prevent you from going out on your own if you don't need a hotel or anything.
@@Greg-wz7fk No. Grand, Carbon, and Emery Counties have shut down all campgrounds to all persons unless you are working in there, or unless you are a primary resident of those counties. Even at that, they have limited camps to be 200 feet apart which is nearly impossible to do. Basically, you can drive to Moab for the day, but you better have plans to leave the county before nightfall. And it will be that way for 30 days.
utah wanderlust700 Shot a couple weeks ago
i mean, you can do way more with this than you could a jeep. alot cheaper to replace parts on a rzr than a jeep and in less time. not too mention, if you break something just get it back to the trailer and youre good. youre not stuck somewhere
Thought you was gonna do some rock crawling with it. Imo, they are all too damn high
This car is 100% worth the price tag!! I have 2 of them.
T.J. Kober I have the ultimate and I love it also!
Which one is better, the RZR pro or Mawerick
5:12 why is it called an "O-bar"?
Is they why the bird sound effect ?
Joseph Cherian oh shit bar.
Nothing better than some self appointed city slicker experts...
Can am x3 xrs RR is the way to go. But it's a utv so apple samsung its preference.
I will say this depends on where you’re riding and your riding style. Tight trails and woods with mud most definitely the pro xp. Open flat trails and dunes the x3 for sure. In my opinion the pro xp is the more capable machine the x3 only beats it in speed but not by much and honestly I think the pro xp gets its boost at a better time than the x3 the boost in the x3 hits too soon in my opinion you want the boost to hit in the more mid too high end. I have drove both machines the x3 turbo rr is actually what I own, but I loved my friends pro xp it just whooped freaking ass on tight corners and rocks the suspension in that thing is just incredible I was going over rocks at like 50mph and didn’t feel a thing.
So when can i see an LS on rzr?
omg!! traded the 19 Turbo S for the 22 Pro xp ultimate black crystal 😁
So what i don't get is Polaris put the more powerful engine in the XP but the better suspension in the Turbo S (3.0 foxs) wtf?
😂 the oh SH*T bar 5:12
Do a Can-am x3 review
Joelitorjr I’m pretty sure they are being paid by Polaris
X3... can’t see over the hood easily... I’m 6’2” and out the seat as far back as possible, but needs another notch or two. The front radiator is hot. The belt whines too much in high. Low winds out the motor going a few rpm. The locker is nasty how it gets insane grip crawling and opens up on fast trails. The power is excellent. Bypass shocks can eat whole boulders without much fuss.
.
I hate the cvt at low speeds in high, especially on the street, but it’s quick with putting power down and moving.
I am 32 years old I gave up my dirt bikes to get a sxs.i think I made a terrible choice because it’s definitely not worth over 20k and it gets pretty boring.
love the car and truck reviews, not sure you guys should be doing SXS reviews... the dude in Canada should have reviewed it...JMO.:)
I could buy a used car and a good 1000cc four wheeler for this money. But at the same time this will keep up with some trophy trucks andwith improved capability.
Rock crawling,, Did I miss that?
you can rent that thing all day for less than $500 a day, unless you live out there, to worth $28K. but, do rent that and drive, it is AWESOME!
There isn’t any outgoing model. Polaris has said over and again the XP Pro is not replacing anything in the lineup. It’s an ADDITION.
Please keep an eye out for us dirt bikers : )
Nice looking machine but I wonder how hard it is to get parts for this... as have a polaris sportsman wheeler that is VERY hard to get parts for as the professional stores cannot seem to understand what parts you need, and keep ordering us the wrong things.... so it sits like a lawn ornament :( Everything breaks, IF you use it.... should be able to get parts easily so our fun machines aren't sitting for months....
Can Am next please
tuff
My maverick X3 MAX X RS TURBO RR with all the options and everything was $37,258 with the tax.
ps4 gamertag T_guns2448 dam that’s a lot I paid 33k otd for a 2018 can am x3 max Xrs which at that time was the top of the line trim
@@Tony_HH I also got a plow as a $1,100 option and most of the other options to.
You only had to trailer it because you didn't make it street legal. We drive them on the street in UT. In moab for now at least.
when u miss the mud holes your only having half the fun
You forgot the one needed Polaris accessory! Extra Belt!
Better than having to get towed back in a Honda or yamaha. Belts are the way to go
Lol! Snow mobiles with tires.
28K WITH NO OPTIONS TOTAL RIP OFF NOT EVEN A WINCH
28k gets you all the options. it has 6 point harnesses, built in audio, ride command, accent lighting telescoping steering steering wheel controls......on and on if you would like a base model they start around 22k.
@@tristanhipps604 DIDNT SEE A WINCH ON IT
Ahh how times have changed.
I have one
The tires dont last, just a heads up for anyone buying one. I would imagine if you are in soft dirt they will last longer.
ATV’s and SxS’s were meant to be reasonably cheap off road fun. Buying something that needs to be trailered for almost 30k sounds like a dumb decision. Especially when a new Jeep can be bought for the same money. I have a Can Am Maverick trail I paid 13k for and it can do most of the stuff that this thing can do. And with a few thousand in upgrades or stepping up to the Maverick sport I bet it can be out done for far less money. It’s still pretty nice tho haha.
sorry man but they were never meant to be cheap, they came from the ATV world which are much cheaper and people want more and more so prices have cone up with the capability. there are just things you can am will not do that the pro xp can. you might make it there like in a jeep but if you are 20 minutes behind your friend and sore then was it worth saving the money?
Maybe its just me but at 8:31 it looks like the frames cracked
"A side by side can do it twice as fast than a motorcycle." lol maybe for the way you ride old timer...
jpk0612 yeah I was like am I hearing him right, cause on a dirt bike nothing can keep up with bikes on just about any trail! A muddy ass trail is about the only exception! Brapp
Lol just check the times on the Baja 1000! Motocross guys have finished in the top ten overall every single time. Never seen a sxs do that
Lmao ya exactly.
Right, I use to bomb trails in my 450 excr at 100mph in some sections. Run 50-60 mph of nasty whoops. And fly down washboard roads these sxs dudes call whoops at 80mph easy.
.
260 lbs + rider, 13” of suspension, 50hp, and the ability to move weight around make dirt bikes so fast. Not to mention the ability to chose any line that is 4” wide or larger.
I think it depends on the driver these new side by sides are capable of doing 95 mph and 0-60 in literally 4.1 seconds and the live valve suspension maneuvers corners like crazy. If you have someone that can drive a sxs pretty well it would keep up with a bike easily.
Why does anybody use "dry weights", you can't run it without oil and anti-freeze in it so what's the point?
James McCausland because States like mine base their Classification based Dry Weight of a ORV.
Does it street legal
My Suzuki samurai can do all of this at a waaaaaaaaaay cheaper price.
Let's see the caman x3
I’m pretty sure they are being paid by Polaris
Whats up with those girls glasses? Did u steel Cletus McFarland Gf glasses 😂
I don't care how much horsepower and how many gimmicks they have not many people can justify $30,000 plus for a toy. I'll stick with my 2018 RZR turbo XP 4 and turbo XP2.
Great machines as long as you maintain them no need to have the biggest and the best especially when it starts at about $30,000 and you haven't even added a single accessory yet.
Pass.
Should've been the big guy from Canada
horses for courses.. base model is 20k, you could easy sink that, and 12 months into a truck build and it still not be as capable as these.. at least here in there UK anyways.. and some folk can't build, or don't have time anymore so it's an out of the box solution. I sold my built 4 runner for one of these, still not pulled the trigger though 😒
Rather ride a GSA or any adventure bike, door to door, no truck, no trailer, way more fun!
This guys probably didn’t have a childhood!!!🤣
Just out of curiosity how fast does it go?
Over 80 mph.
Pro xp probably about 89-91. Turbo rr x3 can do about 95-97mph
Pro xps 0-60 is about 4.7 seconds x3 is about 4.2
You could drive it to work in most states its street legal
I'll stick to my sport quads. I follow SxS anywhere but deep mud, and I don't like rock crawling :-)
Should of had that guy from Canada do this review lol
What type of beer is that? Lol
Ima bout to buy one o lol
Hey Polaris, will you finance me for 20 years? With 1% interest? Id love to have one of your toys!
Why people buy SxS at this price I will never understand. Keep buying at this price they will keep making them even pricier.
Wanting one doesn’t mean I’ll ever hand over $30k for a toy, that I don’t need, but want.
Check out Abernathys Honda. Polaris. Best prices in the nation. You will save a fortune on this so pro.
Just btw its livevalve not livewire
What kind of review were you expecting from someone who's getting pay for it.
Looks like fun. Definitely over priced though....then the need for a truck, trailer, etc. Just get a Jeep.
Side by sides are Destroying Dirtbike single trail all over Utah and Nevada.Our single trails are wide as roads now and there is Litter trash from food and beer every where.
I'm a polaris fan and I think the pro is a bummer rear springs are crap, doors are crap, all the plastic is crap. If you're in the market get an xp turbo over one of these or if width doesn't matter the Turbo S.
Fun to ride but a waste of money! Had rzr in past. Will never spend my money on any of them again. Lesson learned for me! 😂👍👍👍
Brian Keenan You have to pay to play with these machines, it’s not a cheap hobby to get into and maintain. It definitely isn’t for everyone.
Styling took a step back imo.
I still don’t understand why somebody who obviously likes what is a great machine would tittle there video in a way to make people think there is something wrong with it.
Test the roll cage. I actually make jeeps "weep". Test that thing. For alot cheaper you can get a jeep or samurai and not even get to 20k and have alot more than that thing.
