I'm very interested in this machine but others in my group have x3s and rzr xps so I'm curious to hear more about the group ride dynamics. I ride in the desert so there are lots of whoops between trails and hills. That said, I enjoy the trail/hill/technical sections more than the whoops so the Sport looks like a good fit for that as long as it can reasonably keep up in the whoops. Thoughts?
The Sport will flat out get its ass kicked in whoops if you try to ride like your buddies and that means straight into them. Here is the thing, the Sport is a 60 inch wide machine, you don't have to barrel down the center of the trail. When you get to the trail/hills (not sand) the story will flip. I have video after video of me passing the big machines. On the back road to CK I caught a full blown buggy that was over a mile ahead of me. The Sport is 100% a trail monster. Live in AZ, I wouldn't choose the flat open dessert, their is so much to see in the hills and back roads.
I put 14” wheels and 30” Carnivores and it only slowed the snap out of the hole but what it gained in grip and handling is night and day. At speed I can drive faster then with the smaller wheels and hardly ever need 4x4. Even though it is a tad slower acceleration from a slow speed it still spins the tires at will if you want them to.
The RC comes with 30's stock, so definitely the machine can handle it. I think you might like the dynamic change with the Mongrels as well. More acceleration, better handling, it is very noticeable. Such a blast around corners, slides in a very predictable pattern. The bighorns are a decent all over tire, but not great at anything. A great tire does wonders for the Sport.
AZAdventure Unfortunatly I live in Ontario Canada and we have too much mud for that tire. My sister lives in Scottsdale I am going to rent a machine when I come out there this winter. When you say you have driven more powerful machines have you driven any X3? I keep looking at them wondering if I’m missing out. If you have drove one how does it compare to the sport?
@@schumif1champ Definitely, not a mud tire! ha ha. Why I mentioned the terrain I ride in. I meant you would like it as in test riding mine in the terrain I ride. Yeah you guys have some mud riding for sure. I belong to a Canam group. I went on group rides, you are surrounded by x3's. They can't just flip the back end as easily. I have gone on so many rides down near Phoenix, so many X'3s, Turbo S's and every flavor of RZR out here. The sport is just more maneuverable. I am sure I would never shrug off the HP and travel and that is why I said it's more about pros vs cons. The sport is simple and overbuilt. You are less likely to break down on the trail..same belt as an x3 with 75 less HP. Also minus over 500lbs.

@@yellowsuzuki06 Did you do any suspension tweaks from factory?
@@schumif1champ Nope, but shock therapy is down here so I really don't have a good excuse.
