THIS! this is the type of content I’ve been waiting on. Actual numbers, real world testing on stock machines to show the pros and cons of each before just shoving massive amounts of power at them
@@turbo-brian absolutely! Just nice to see some real world test of what people can expect if they bought one off the showroom floor then show the increase in ride comfort and performance with mods. Just a nice change
I was coming to say the exact same thing. I could see me buying one of these machines, so interested to hear what they think of them. Off the hop, I'd be leaning towards the R Max for the Yamaha reliability, and the shorter wheelbase. I'm not biased either; I've had a Sportsman and Maverick Sport.
As an rmax 4 owner I am stoked to see this. I've had covid for 2 weeks and been on quarantine. I started watching the snowmobile shootout, then binged about 12 hours. This is awesome
Congrats Mark! Regardless of what people think of the decision it was his to make. The new units are pretty cool and look forward to seeing how they stack up.
@@brapperdan do you know if they where giving money with the truck to cover personal property tax because that truck is a 80 k truck the trailer is probably around 8 and I'm not sure I think he said it was a x3 depending on what state you live in taxes could could be around 10k and in va we a what they call a luxury tax on top of that and that's 5k
@@brapperdanplus title transfer, tax, and fees would stack up quick, plus insurance on all of that stuff. It would be hard for me to pass up that cash.
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for you guys to get an rmax!! Soo jacket to see it on the trails! Thought for sure with the shorter wheel base it would have more whp but it's not built for speed, its built for the trails. I think it's gonna dominate the trails, TEAM BLUE! You aint never gonna see a 10 year belt warranty out of a Polaris or canned ham! Haha
It does have more rear crank HP but like all Yamaha SxS, it has a wet clutch, which robs some HP for belt reliability and traction, which is why the RWHP isn't as impressive as at the crank, but also wheelbase has nothing to do with engine output.
So glad to see some other SXS and options!! I would love to see the progression from mild to wild as you put these SXS's through the paces. Keep it coming.
First time I have watched in a while now. Soon as I seen an Rmax, I was in. Love mine other than the broken rear shock that I have been waiting over a year for Yamaha to replace.
I love watching these older videos. I understand that bridges have been burned but it would be great to see you guys back together as a whole unit. Ether way I’ll support you guys until the end.
I work at a Yamaha dealership and a quick tip is to keep a check on your oil lines on the rmax because they just lay on the skid plate and they tend to get holes rubbed in them so just a heads up on that. keep it up love ya
If you want to know which one is more reliable go out back of a yamaha dealership and then go out back of a polaris dealership and see how many broken ones there are comparatively.
I recommend strengthen inside rear square tubing lower controls arms welded too for the rmax4. Mine rolled once on side and bent rear frame and cage up, but safety features are great as no one got hurt.
Bought an Rmax in 2021, absolutely love the machine. I can't wait to see the comparison of them on the trails! I know the Rmax is a very capable machine, had a blast at Silver lake sand dunes with it!
For the east coast style riding (Picture drummond island but 55,284 km²) we do here in my province, that style of sport-ute is what dominates the trails here. Billy goats over X3's around here. Also big congrats on the max-flex winner. Looking forward to more contests. The blog hoodie i got is super warm and great quality. You guys deserve those fresh units and more subscribers.
I live in nova scotia Canada and my x3 xmr is hands down the most versatile machine in our group. Love the videos. I've watched every single one. Keep it up boys. And please come to Canada and give ole ostacruiser a visit.😎
I've had an Rmax2 since May of 21, it is an absolute beast. 3600 miles so far, and the only issue was a blown belt at 3200 miles, which was covered under warranty.
This is hilarious, watched a vid a week ago, decided on buying a sxs. Instantly drawn to the 2 seater version and was trying to decide which one. This is great!
Glad to see the maxx and hope this bring more aftermarket exposure to them. Ive had mine over the last 2 years and absolutely love. I fell in love with the short wheel base.
This was a unreal vlog thank you so much for this . Great seeing all 3 of these machines going head to head. I wish we could see the honda 5 seater's numbers against these 3 that would be excellent. Thanks again dudes
People have to remember with the giveway - Taxes. $85,000 truck - $5,100 $15k trailer - $900 30k SXS - $1800 total out of new owners pocket IMMEDIATELY (not including things like registration, insurance, etc): $7,800 That being said, i would have also taken the package.
These are the videos that I enjoy. Not everyone can afford to buy an X3 turbo RR, and make 400 hp with it. Which those videos are nice to watch too bud. A nice blended channel That more people can relate to
I would done same thing pick $100k people need to remember keeping truck,SXS,trailer you have to pay taxes on it when you register it.. at least you have the cash to pay taxes on $100k . Most people wouldn't have tax money pay on truck,SXS,trsiler. I knew someone won a brand new truck he had to get a loan to pay taxes, 2 years later he lost truck cuz he got very sick and couldn't pay the loan
i do like the yamaha take, its a little different, but stadium style seats are the best thing to give the passenger experience, which is really worth the sacrifice if your catering for your passenger
@sxsblog I’ve had my rmax since early summer and I can say it’s a beast. It’s not the fastest or the most comfortable but it’s sure a little Billy goat. I’ve personally been nothing but happy with it!
It's great to see some everyday guy kinda machine comparison. Not every one drives 50k 200hp cars. I'm a General fan so can't wait to see how they all shake down.
Great video fellas. Looking forward to more of this stuff. Also, hoping we can get some air in 2JP's front passenger tire. hahaha Loving the snowmobile content as well. Such a fun competition.
That's great stuff can't wait to see these machines in action and what you do with them. I have a YXZ since 2018 and a rmax 4 on order to bring the family. Picked the Yamaha for its reliability and because it's shorter.
Can't wait for this showdown. I want that rmaxx but these events you're about to put these machines through will be a big part in my decision on which is my next machine.
Congrats to Mark!! Love all these new rides! Can’t wait to see y’all put them to the test! You should do a test on how well they perform/ hold up with 4 adults riding in em!
Wow I am extremely impressed with all 3 units! I own the General Deluxe and for some time no other sport/utility could touch it. Strong competition is good for us!!💚
Can’t wait to see more of these units. I have a commander my buddy has a general was surprised on dyno numbers. Would love to see pavement drags and these sxs jumping and comparing there suspension. Keep up the great work!!
Glad to see y’all reviewing some new machines! I found this channel from your talon review. This kind of stuff helps get you new viewers. Y’all get to experience a lot more sxs’ than the average joe so your input it valuable, even if these machines aren’t your personal style. Excited to see more on these units and on the cheap sled challenges!
Put some sand bags in the back of your machines on all three units you may see better numbers. We we’re having the tires slip on the rollers and the sand bags really helped. Love your channel guys!! Cheers Doug.
Looking forward to the Rmax content. Weller has really been working to get the clutching to where it should be. Be curious to see if their machined sheaves would help put down more RWHP
And you literally left off the best unit in this entire class. Literally more capable and comfortable then all of those. The Kawasaki KrX 1000x4 limited edition. Hands down the best in that class of marching out there right now.
It's not even IN the class these are in which is Sport/Rec. KRX is in the PURE SPORT class, which includes the TalonX4, Maverick X3 Max, and RZR4. Get a clue.
As an rmax owner 2 seater xtr I love that you guys finally got one! Living in northeast pa you need one of these machines. The been in all three machines and me personally thinks the rmax is most comfortable. Make sure you hit the red power button on the tablet. That’s the only downside to the rmax that damn thing. But yeah I’m pumped finally a good review hopefulyl and you’ll put these Machines to the rest!!!!
Ill almost guarantee the rmax is the tougest a buddy forgot his parking brake and parked his on its side on the bottom of the lake. Totally submerged we dragged it out oil didnt even have water in it pulled air filters and ran it the rest of the weekend
You guys do a great job at comparing the 3 machines. Congratulations to the new winner 👍 Love that color on the Polaris Wanted an rmax but I got the general ? I added a Gilomen tune and clutch kit , and Man did it make a difference !!
I had a 2020 kodiak 700 se had a 10 belt warranty and I never had it slip on me or anything no problems with clutching and I’ve had that thing fully submerged it was a beast and never sunk it! GREAT VIDEO!!!

I would love to see the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 included in this comparison. Looking forward to some great content.
Or the new 1000-6
good idea but not in the same league as these machines
We are blessed to have guys like you guys to try these machines out before we buy! Thanks dudes!
So glad to see some other SXS and options!! I would love to see the progression from mild to wild as you put these SXS's through the paces. Keep it coming.
Love the actual dyno numbers on the machines. Great job keep it up
We have been waiting for this UTV comparison content!! Love SXSBlog!
First time I have watched in a while now. Soon as I seen an Rmax, I was in. Love mine other than the broken rear shock that I have been waiting over a year for Yamaha to replace.
Im soooo stoked for the rmax content!!!
So glad to see yall do something with some sxs besides a x3 or rzr. Can't wait for the content to come
Finally an RMax!!! I’ve been on the fence about one for a year or so
Yesc, an R-Max 2 seater is what I want so this will be nice to follow again hehehe!!! Stock and building/upgrading the hell out of it!
I’m glad you finally got these kind of machines I kind of like the Yamaha Rmax a little smaller so I can hit tighter trails for four seater.
I love watching these older videos. I understand that bridges have been burned but it would be great to see you guys back together as a whole unit. Ether way I’ll support you guys until the end.
Awesome that you got these 3, been waiting to see an RMAX for awhile, for our trails around here being short is a big advantage
Finally!!!!!!!!! Can we get a "how many chainsaws can the bed hold" comparison ? Ive got a Honda Pioneer but love seeing this style of SXS on here.
I work at a Yamaha dealership and a quick tip is to keep a check on your oil lines on the rmax because they just lay on the skid plate and they tend to get holes rubbed in them so just a heads up on that. keep it up love ya
Is that the RMAX4 or the RMAX2 or both?
Is it effecting all years?
Is this problem related to the oil cooler lines or the dry sump system?
Better tip. Don't buy the Yamaha!
If you want to know which one is more reliable go out back of a yamaha dealership and then go out back of a polaris dealership and see how many broken ones there are comparatively.
@@paulgrinold1103 But what is the selling ratio 10 to 1 or more.
I love it!! This is what started SXS Blog, comparing vehicles. This is awesome. I love watching comparisons. Way to go guys.
The R MAXX is bad ass, it has a different look and layout that I like!!!
I am less than 10mins in and I am so fricken excited for this!! FINALLY! So happy you are doin up all SXS for testing purposes.
I recommend strengthen inside rear square tubing lower controls arms welded too for the rmax4. Mine rolled once on side and bent rear frame and cage up, but safety features are great as no one got hurt.

2 seater the rmax is the best. 4 seater not so much.
This series is going to be great! I can't wait!
My boys ,hit it out of the park. Been watching since 14. Way to go.
When reviewing these new units we need trail rides with 4 people in them to see what the back seat ride is like fully loaded
I’ve been waiting for a long time for you guys to get into more Yamaha machines!!
Can't wait to see the reliability of the yamaha vs the others
It will far exceed the others. Already been proven on other channels like fishers atv
@@JayNayMay how about the reliability of your back with that rmax 4 ufff.. 2 seater is the top of the heap but 4 seater is the weakest of the bunch.
as a yamaha rhino owner love seein the up close personal shots of the rmax a arm suspension and hubs
This is hilarious, watched a vid a week ago, decided on buying a sxs. Instantly drawn to the 2 seater version and was trying to decide which one. This is great!

What about the no dump bed? Idk it’s a big trade off for me.
Awesome for Mark, would have been super hard to choose. Probably would have went for the cash too
Guys, don't forget that the Commander bed sides can be taken off. You can store a belt on one side and a tow strap on the other. Pretty cool.
This was a unreal vlog thank you so much for this . Great seeing all 3 of these machines going head to head. I wish we could see the honda 5 seater's numbers against these 3 that would be excellent. Thanks again dudes
I would 100% install something to keep the door for the table closed, for when it happens to take a hit or roll it don't eject the tablet.
People have to remember with the giveway - Taxes.
$85,000 truck - $5,100
$15k trailer - $900
30k SXS - $1800

I bet the blog guys loved that choice, they are a lot of money ahead on that deal.
They may not even own the sxs or trailer. Could both be on loan in trade for advertising until the winner chooses.
@@swhalstead even if they didn't they would have to pay for it if he would have picked it.
@@rangstng1 yes that’s my point. if he takes the cash, they don’t have to try and get rid of them and lose more money. They just give ‘em nack

As always....I like the content. The new pioneer is held at high regard by mudpuppy.
Finally! Us family/work community needed this !
Nothing like waking up to find a fresh video from the boys!
Absolutely love my 21 rmax4, its super tough! The biggest downfall is the suspension, it blows!! Had to upgrade the springs!!! Huge difference!!
I agree they are blast!!

Thank you guys so much for being completely insane. Would love to run in to yall ripping some day!
Not gonna lie im diggin the rmax..i would love to see a multiday trip..blindfolded an dropped off in a random area

AS usual..You Guys Hit this Comparison on All Cylinders! Luv it .. thanks for all the Specs.& Testing!!👍😁
I couldn’t be more excited to see the content with these new machines!!
These will be great giveaways! Smart idea. Those rivets on the Commander will suck when the driveshaft breaks, and it will break.

Happy see you guys detour a little from the x3s and razors.
