I had a semi-hard time figuring out what rig to purchase last summer (2022). Another problem was there were still massive shortages in my area for all UTVs/ATVs. I see inventory is catching up in 2023. I went with a Kawasaki Teryx 800 (2 seat). It is built like a tank. It was great snow plowing. It has a ton of storage behind each seat and a full dump bed. It looks great and it I bought the LE version so it has upgraded adjustable FOX shocks. That all being said. I don't find it to be a great trail machine. I'm not a speed demon, but it is a bit lacking in the get up and go department and it is very noisy once you get up beyond 25mph. I found best cruising speed to be 25 to 30 tops. This is fine for me as I'm now over 50 and just want a nice smooth ride. It rides fine, but even I would like a little more pep at times. I understand this is a crossover machine......... part workhorse and part trail rider. I need something that will push snow and has a dump bed. I just wish they offered this in 1000 instead of 800. I'd consider switching to something else, but I don't want to pay a fortune and I need the overall utility.
Sounds crazy but can't get over the cup holder location and no armrest. We do a lot of cruising through the woods and cup holders and armrests are definitely high on the priority list
If you're a East coast trail rider you'll like it. If you're a east coast OHV park rider that likes to climb the hills that make the crowd say yee yee, you'll hate it. It's a dang good trail machine, nothing more.
My wife and I purchased this rig , in black, this past summer. Your video review was one of the deciding factors for us. Cheers!

Just bought mine today, value for your money is unmatched!
Bought the same machine myself, kept up with a Polaris 1000 turbo in the snow. Has plenty of go.
LOL! Plenty of go? My 2023 sucks when it comes to power! Couldnt even beat a polaris ranger sp 570 in a drag race!
Really?? You can get a yamaha woverine x2 1000 for $400 more! Better everything including a 1000 cc parallel twin making 108 hp

Want to get a little more ground clearance on my 700 with out a lift kit can I go up to a 15” rim size or tire size
What's the 700's top speed?
I'd like to buy one but I rub my elbow on the door to much to drive with my left arm!
Im sure this dude has never driven a sxs. 😂

Think 700 and 100 are same frame just bigger vroom vroom
No center console.
Looks like an insect
Uhhhh. Uhhh. Uhhhhhhh. Uh. Uhhhhh. Uhhh. Uhh
