Nicely done Joe. I think if you guys were able to do all your comparisons at Sand Hollow you would have come away even more impressed with the KRX suspension and, I think you would have found that it actually has more than enough power for that terrain, which it was designed to excel in. I know there are those who always want more power to go faster and jump further, but that isn't what this machine is all about. She is a big, heavy beast for sure, but honestly I think it's the best trail riding/rock crawling machine on the market right now.
Keep up the great work guys.
Fantastic review guys thank you so much 😊 love your channel keep them coming big thumbs up👍
Nice review. I’m picking my 2021 krx up next weekend
Awesome you guys kill it on these videos. Love all three of your machines too.
Thanks for watching 👍 -Garrett
Good job on the video, The Seat angle was my first modify, super easy with a little wedge and different bolt lengths. Just installed Aj's sxs accessories mud flaps and frog skin covers,
Great product. Keep up the good work guys.
Robert Shuttleworth perfect I’ll check that all out! -Garrett
The fact that you guys swapped and also have different machines is great. It's very informative. I still think people adjust to what they buy more than they buy exactly what they want. Does that adjustment become too limiting? Or as skill replaces fear you long for more.. or it's all puffed ego, see that all the time. You own the best most expensive machine on the trail, yet you drive like you are yet to take the training wheels off.
Thanks! It’s been a great experience! -Joe
Great review , my one main complaint is also how much mud I wear in the cabin compared to my teryx 4 le. But I love the wheel visibility, cabin noise is much quieter than my older teryx
i made mine from alumnum tail gate cover ruclips.net/video/mGYrBcayAe0/видео.html
Dude. Love the video. Super easy to follow coming from if someone with little knowledge. Would be awesome to cut in and out to the actual drive when your talking about climbing up and down or visuals of the front wheel POV when climbing from the driver seat. It would help me with my purchase. Keep it up guys!
Thanks brother! We just got additional gear so we can do just that! -Joe
Just purchased one.... hope I like it
You’re going to love it
I heard the new pro r has the best suspension but I don't have 40,000 grand
I love these krx's and I don't even have one. I've been a Yamaha fanboy for years because of their performance and reliability, but I'm digging this krx
It’s been a great machine 👍 -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad wow! You're fast. I'm still watching this review. You're going to do the dealers job for him soon lol
We like to tell it how it is because all machines have pro’s and con’s.
We’ll have some more content on the new Yamaha soon as well. Stay tuned! -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad Awesome!
Just bought a 2022 .. wondering if it's any different?
Great review!
Great review. I'm 6'7" and that dead pedal looks like it would be a deal breaker for me. I do love the look of the KRX, especially in the green. I barely fit in my X3 with the seat all the way in the down position both front and back. I think RZR has better seating positions for tall men (more leg room and the wheel tilts up further imo). Honestly I would love to see more machines with larger wheel tilt options for the tall crowd ;-)
I’m 6’6 and I fit very comfortably in my krx. That’s one of the main reasons I picked it up. Go try it out, you won’t regret it.
I’m 6’6” moved my seat back 3.5 inches. I cut about 3/4 inch off the left side of my brake pedal. Now my left foot can easily extend straight.
You guys are knocking it out with the real world reviews swapping vehicles. Being local to Arizona this is very helpful to me since I'm still narrowing my list. My biggest concern is the weight of the KRX and being street legal in Arizona, which leads to questions best directed at Garrett. What does it take to register an 1800 plus pound side by side in Arizona and have you done it? Emissions? Is it considered a passenger vehicle? I'm really good at digging this kind of stuff up but it's turned into a big rabbit hole. Not looking to drive on the street a lot, just want to be legal on horizontally marked trails with registration and insurance. Thanks guys.
So I do have the KRX but actually live in Utah. We have no requirements besides blinkers, horn and the mirrors to become street legal. Joe lives in Arizona and his Talon I believe has the weight issue. Hopefully he will chime in soon. 👍 -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad Thank you Garrett. I really like what the KRX brings to the table. Kind of look at it like a sportier version of the Polaris General.
The KRX is a much more capable machine than the general....hands down.
-Dave
@@DerangedOffRoad Agreed.
Just watched this one again - great stuff! Now that you guys had your machines for some time and have done a bunch of mods, I wonder what you would say now? It would be great if you guys would switch up machines, ride for an hour on each different machine then: 3 guys, 3 machines, 3 short opinions on each.
Have you seen those vids we released them awhile back. We had each machine for a few weeks and gave our opinions about them. -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad Missed that one, I'll have a look. Thanks!
Should be about six vids total. 👍
It’s like a RZR, except well made
Severely caught in between the Talon or the krx. Rode the krx and coming from can am and polaris, I am not used to that boggy take off but we shall see how the Talon feels
I’ll have a talon review coming up soon. Also take offs is just a small of percentage verses ride quality and things like that. 👍-Garrett
If I could put the talon drivetrain in the krx then it would be a perfect machine for me. I currently own both and they are two different machine’s.
Nice review. Where did you film it?
Thanks! Jacob Lake, AZ near the north rim of the Grand Canyon, -Joe
About the tires...the blade device inside the rim on the inside. If you were wanting to do an extreme upgrade like, portals. How would you do that?
Just take it off, it looks to come off pretty easy or cut it off.
Supercharged hopefully!!!!!
That’s would be awesome 👍
Good job. Who’s your intro music by?
Agree! Love the song in that Intro. Don't change.
Thanks we dig it too. “Say it” by Trent Thompson. - Joe
Great job Joe! Whoopi! 🤣🤣 I love how much cargo space the KRX has behind the seats and in the bed. I don’t love the steering wheel and I don’t know of a hub to adapt aftermarket wheels yet. Low gear is LOW and you can fit 35” tires for those that want to crawl seriously. I saw a Kentucky dealer advertising the KRX for $13,894! How can you go wrong?! RokBlokz will have a mug flap kit soon and the Kawasaki wide fenders are really nice, just $$$. I agree with the seating opinion,but know that can be easily changed. If we didn’t really want a 4 seat car the KRX would be in our garage. 👍👍😎
Grant spline adapter 3677-14. You'll also need a 3 hole spacer adapter or a quick release to go to from the hub to a 5 or 6 hole wheel.
Thats now try
I dont know why people pick on the KRX sagging springs. I have had to adjust the ride height on my Can Am 3 times in 600 miles.
Maybe it’s because the weight makes it show more. I believe all machines have the issues as well.
My same complaint is the dead pedal also......I'm 6.1..... and I wish I could push my seat back just a notch or 2 further back hopping someone comes out with an aftermarket slider
Agree, but I don’t know how people handle the Polaris dead pedal our XP was way worse. Hopefully new sliders come out soon. -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad yeah man I'm coming out of a yxz1000r and it had leg room for days......but I think it's a pretty comfortable ride minus the dead pedal
I think is the best machine out there by far. BUt the power. Needs 30 to 50 more horsepower
Love Tacos favorite food. So what’s better to you Kawasaki KRX 1000 or Honda Talón 1000? I heard bad things about the Honda Talon Transmission
Nice Joe. After having it for 2 weeks does it make you miss your Talon at all or would you be happy keeping it?
I definitely missed the Talon. Loved the KRX but I wouldn’t trade. It’s funny, I think Garrett and Dave would say the same about their machines...-Joe
Correct, I have been dying to get my KRX back. Our videos are to show that everyone has their own preference on what they like. We are trying to bring that out in a way to help people make that decision when trying to choose. 👍-Garrett
Hear anything about Kawasaki coming out with a four seater?
Nothing yet
Im really debating on a krx or Talon R in the next month and am so lost as to which one to buy.. 🤦♂️
Good luck pros and cons on all of them.
Me too!
I just bought a krx 1000 and the cvt detatanated after 200 miles
That’s not good, any reasons why?
What cargo box do you have mounted in your bed?

And those big vents stop so much viewing angle for folks that aren't 6'4", for us 5'10" people the front cab view isn't great to begin with, and that windshield exacerbates to a completely unacceptable view. Overall it's a great platform, but has it's major flaws as well.

You still have a belt the Honda doesn’t own one
Honda trans still break, and when they do it's a long drag back to camp. I can change a belt in 20 minutes, can't split a case and change a clutch out there.
Ha Ha Whoopie.
Couldn’t help myself... 😜 -Joe
