I have been seriously thinking about dropping 18k on a 2023 can am renegade 1000 XMR. My buddies all have side by sides but I miss the days when 4-wheelers dominated.
UTV's are too heavy to get unstuck and change a flat tire. I am sticking with my 420 fuel injection Honda Rancher 4x4 manual transmission ATV. Tons of power.
i have a 2 seater atv and really like it, i think you get much more for your money with an atv and they are more fun to ride than drive like a car, also they are big "utv" you really cant go anywhere off road with them like you can mostly with an atv.....either way have fun.
@@mcscotty325 I'm sure you are, what ever works for you. Comparing an atv and a side by side is almost like comparing a car to a motorcycle or vise versa
@@danyancey Ontario, Canada. That's a Grizzly SE vs a base Wolverine 850. So yeah, you're going to want to add a cab enclosure and winch which would significantly increase the price of the Wolverine.
@@mcscotty325 yeah a wolverine 850 base here across the pond in Ohio is 16k and a grizzly highest model is 12.4k. You'd have to get like a fully loaded out can am outlander 1000 or sportsman 1000 to get to the base price of a wolverine here it's rediculous the price of sxs's anymore the anomaly is can am sxs prices are plummeting. You can right now get a 200hp can am x3 turbo rr 4 seater for 26k 2 seat x3rr is 23 and the base turbo x3ds 135hp 2 seat is going for 19k those prices are almost 8 grand cheaper than they were just a year ago.
I live on Vancouver Island and am looking for a way to access remote areas for hiking/camping, and to save my 4runner from constant wear and tear of off road use... for these reasons I am leaning more towards a SxS simply because I am not experienced, they are safer, more weather friendly, and can carry more gear. I am strongly considering a quad though simply because they are cheaper and are a bit more nimble and able to get around obstacles. Really can't decide what to do though. Any opinions would be welcome!
Either option is great. What kind of gear are you needing to haul? The sxs is going to offer more space for gear in comparison to an atv, especially if you’re looking at the defender, ranger, general, style vehicles. More of the work horses vs the rzr or maverick.
Honestly. I dislike utvs. I enjoy the open air riding with an ATV, obviously if you ride in any weather stormy etc. The utv is better, but I ride a 2 seat Atv, its much quieter, my wife and I can talk to each other no matter how fast we are going. UTVs are so damn loud, the cabs get terribly hot inside, give me the open air of a quad anyday
@martinbosset2683 my only reason for considering a UTV is because the trails are getting too rough for ATVs. Went riding on a trail with river crossings and on my way back out I passed by 30 UTVs. Had no problem riding in but almost sank going out.
UTV. Because I'm new at riding and I like safety and steering wheels like cars
Same reasons I'm thinking UTV over the ATV
We traded our two-up atv for a Wolverine x4. Now in our senior years, we enjoy riding more and can bring family/friends with us. Happy trails.

I have to disagree. I cross shopped a Grizzly against a Wolverine 850 and the price difference was only $3000. You're getting a lot for that $3000.

@@mcscotty325where the heck that's insane. Around here the most badass utility atv is still 3k cheaper than thee absolute base model sxs's

Utv are heavy leave ruts in everything. Even if going slow yeah take your buddy’s along for a ride but just not as fun rippn on a quad
utv

utv is just driving not riding they shouldn't be allowed on the trails
I totally agree with you and would add that utv’s are destroying trails.
@@martinbosset2683 agreed.....why in the hell do people feel the need to go 100mph in UTV's???

Rather ride than drive. People drive cars everyday
