Awesome review as usual. Loved the slow motion shots at the start. I want a Pro R so badly but $50,000 Canadian is tough even though it is likely worth it.
Don’t feel bad. 90% of the guys buying them can’t afford them either. I see pictures all the time of a new rzr with a house trailer in the background. 😂 it’s not if you can afford it, it’s how long you can stretch it out to afford the payment
The way these high horsepower machines seem to destroy trails, it sad that I see in the very near future A LOT more trails being closed or having strict SxS restrictions
Jeeps, broncos, trucks etc destroy trails much more than any side x side. They way 2 to 3 times more and are wider. Where I live in the desert southwest I can always tell when a group of jeeps have been on the trail cuz its rutted out and washboarded
I have a 2022 rzr turbo R and I live in southwestern Pennsylvania. I ride with a group of friends and we frequent Hatfield McCoy trails several times and year. I can tell you that we ride around 200 miles in two and a half days and our average speed is less than 20 MPH. We aren’t ripping up anything. Trails get ripped up when it’s muddy and at that point anything that’s on them makes ruts. I own over 200 aces and I rip across my fields and I don’t make any ruts. We road Sand Hollow In Utah this past June it was mostly lose sand and hard pack and rocks. You can’t make ruts there. We ride almost every weekend somewhere and only run into ruts where there is puddles.
@@jadebylund7061 a sxs is on a mud trail driven by knuckle heads. A jeep is driven daily. A real rig is trailered in and not driven by a knuckle head that wondered why it broke
I agree with Cletus. The trails that I ride here in Wisconsin do not allow jeeps, broncos, or trucks. It's all 4 wheelers and SxS. These trails are so torn up you can't really enjoy a ride in a Polaris ranger with the junk suspension they have. Just about every sport SxS I see is being driven like its ars is on fire. The results--- torn up trails that only select SxS can handle.
This is a shot in the dark and will probably never happen. But what if Yamaha put the 1.8L supercharged motor that's in the GP1800 R SVHO in an SXS? Personally, they could figure it out but, most likely to never happen.
Good lord this thing sounds beautifully angry...these things with the speed limiter removed will hit 105 mph and around these parts we do a lot of lake racing in winter months and that makes you lake king...I know it's a bit pricey but you got to pay to play these days...love my X3 but this thing is on another level imo.
Any Yamaha project engineer out there? You could use the 1.8 (2zz) in a YXZ 1800 SS Banshee edition? Yamaha is pretty good at doing 4 cylinders anyways...one of the best with high rev too!
I’ve always wanted a rally car or Trophy truck and right meow this is the cheapest closest way to scratch that itch I absolutely need to sell everything else I have and get this thing!
Wait until states put more laws and restrictions on side by sides because they tear up the fire roads or seasonal roads. Its Too much. maybe for out in the deserts it would be more useful. The off road and snowmobile industry is getting ruined with all of the outrageous needs and wants of the yuppie people who are the only ones who can afford it. Now you have people buying these machines that have never rode them before. Too much power and people are getting killed. Most people that are buying these machines now a days have no idea on how to maintain these machines. With all this technology its getting like a car or truck where you need a computer or special tools just to do an oil change or change a spark plug. I hate how the outdoor power sports scene has gotten so commercialized. 20 years ago and beyond, the off road and snowmobile sport was for the die hards and people who had passion and respect for the industry. Now, not so much. I hate to even ride on the weekends anymore with the citidiots on the trails. Its too the point that I will ride during the weekdays when there is less traffic on the trails. All and all, thanks dirt trax for the reviews. I would love a job in this industry. I still have a huge passion for it no matter what. Ride safe!
Hmmm. I don't know. I've been waiting for 8 months for a recall replacement ECU for my sportsman ATV. I'd hate for that $40k machine to become a brick for lack of product support
Why developed such a cool Engine finaly but on those crap of Clutch ???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Helloooooo Polaris, Take a Look on Yamaha yxz 1000r !!!!!! Jesus Christ 🤦🏻♂️
$50k 😂 It should be even more than what it is! Facts, with this price tag I will tell you I had a 500hp half ton I run sand drags, mud pits, any and all trails I come across if fit I shredded if weren’t burying it to headlights & had less than $13k in it so please , $50k is no way worth what’s here
It's actually like 76.5 wide, i finally got my ultimate. I did do the stage 3 clutch kit and it made a difference from AA. I might go with the 35 inch tires
One of the best reviews I have ever seen in vehicle videos and obviously finaly someone reviewing it who can relay handle and knows what he is talking about !
Screw all of the chassis measurements. I’m 6’3 and the only thing I comfortably fit in is the Can-Am X3. In fact I have to slide the seat forward One notch in that. Everything else I’m sitting more upright and feel cramped in
Should be legal for the road with that much Power n weight. MY Rav4 v6 is close to same weight and close to 300hp and tops out at 218kmph.Does it do over 200 kmph? And hell it's larger then one of my first cars a 1988 Toyota SR5 GT. The Price tag could go though. Might as well buy a Jeep with 300hp. Least Can drive it on the road and no trailer at all. Something about Not trailering as I get older that is 100% more value then any amount of power for a fire road car.
Person who doesn't have brains here is you. 40k is not much for something that can do highway speeds over bumps. Also this is probably the toughest sxs ever made. Rzr 800 was made 10+years ago and it rips till this day.
@@JtM8292 it ain't jealousy buddy....people sure as hell dont pay cash for those and I sure aint jealous of a 5-10 year loan on it either. Like I said...more money than brains. I got 2 brand new sportsmans that I paid with CASH, plus ATVs are way more fun anyways.
Maybe with this much horsepower I would finally find a side by side, Fun. When I compare Side by Sides and Atv's to let alone dirt bikes... the driving experience in one of these regulated seat belted piles of crap isn't even close. I don't even want to drive them. I'd rather just park it and look at it. Which is why I ride dirt bikes and atv's and with the insane prices driven by ignorant emotions I think I will just continue on my way..
.13 not 1.3 pound per hp. And .13 is a very good power to weight ratio. For reference that’s a better power to weight ratio than a 250cc dirt bike and about the same as a 450 dirt bike. I included the weight of a rider
did you see that bump steer after the jump... maybe not so much bump steer but both front wheels looked like rag dolls... love the machine but that was clapt out wierd
I keep reading that sxs are limited to 1000cc. So what is this vehicle considered to be if 1000cc is the limit of what they can use. Did something change?
ok Polaris 2,100 lbs 225 hp - sand car 2400lbs 700 hp . hmmm doesn't really seem as much of a beast as everyone is making it out to be . but it is still pretty cool !
Are you going to do a complete review? What about low range and rock crawling? Comfort? It is hot to drive or did they insulate the heat? Are the seats supportive? Is it loud? Leg room? ect?
I have driven one on high speed trails in Michigan and I’m one of those 80 plus mph guys that most complain about and no it really cool inside compared to other rzr’s. That’s actually my favorite thing about it, it’s not crazy fast from my standards, it’s doesn’t handle crazy, good but nothing like omg but it is crazy comfortable!! Has to be the most smooth, quiet, high speed SxS I’ve ever driven. I’ll have one at some point, think it would be perfect with a turbo.👍
Coming at you head on in a corner near you.
Just like sleds have been for 20 years
Yeah a lot of morons going uncontrollable speeds on blind corners on these UTV’s.
Lots of morons everywhere doing everything
Why at corners? I can ride all day and not see anyone. Hit a blind corner and everyone is there? One of life’s mysteries….
Guys will be putting big turbos on them 500hp will be seen soon sp far we beat the piss out of this for testing and all is good.
i bought the whole speedo damn sure ima use the whole speedo lmao
Now you're gettin it 😄
Polaris is smokin crack with this price tag even people that got the money that’s still ridiculous
Cool machine just sucks its CVT and overpriced
They're going to have to require a special license and a breathalyzer for ignition to keep the rest of us safe from these monstrosities...
😆
Good luck getting insurance?
These guys drive around loaded to the tits.
The price and the snowmobile cvt type clutch are the worst.
Surprised you didn’t break any ball joints on those jumps
No ball joints. Luke's got a follow up walk around we will post later this week with dome comments about this machine. Stay tuned.
It's great for $40 grand 👏 👌 and still running on a rubber band 👎 and remember it's a Polaris 👎👎👎👎👎🍼🍼

@@Ben-h2o youre kidding right?
Wish I could afford the price tag on the Pro R 4. Truly an amazing machine.
It's about time someone stepped up to the plate and take a huge swing at the market. Polaris breaking barriers with power and confidence.
.... and price
64,999 Canadian

lol you can buy a good truck or maybe even a house for that well maybe not ahouse but a truck for sure for that price
Yup.
I Bought 3 house rentals at 32k,35k and 40k in 2008 lol more than a house
riders destroy the land not the machines all off-road vehicles can destroy trails
Can am have a lot of work to do . They are loosing the sxs race
I bet they're working on something wild.
Stock, it has not much more power than the maverick, but the potential of the new 2litre engine is huge

Daaaaaaaam i hate being Poor 😢
looks impressive but for that price it better be reliable. Polaris doesn't have the best track record though lol
We've had a few issues and we are hearing a few more.
$50k 😂
It should be even more than what it is!

Better buy artic cat trail and put a car engine in it ..an evo engine..it will cost 1/4 of the price
Cool but still a pooplaris recalls and reliability has always been an issue they are the mopar of the sxs world.
I don't know why everybody worries about horsepower so much
I hope some time in the future they make a v6 side by side

Nice machine, but where heck would I drive that in Haliburton, ON? Would be fun in the south west US on the dunes.
Had to trailer it to find a good, wide open location, plus we also rode at a track.
And if you do actually use all of it... then is it too much? Or is it not enough?
Still not giving up on the belts lol
Hey come on, give me a windshield!
I need a small machine so I don’t kill myself. This a beast, I’m sure lots of guys enjoying it!

$38-40K USD for a SxS?!
WHO is buying these things?!
Don't have names of the buyers but Polaris is selling a ton of these.
Very cool video for an awesome machine. What is the song name in the background? Definitely a sweet ride
I think it is called tip of the spear
I don’t want to hear straight piped honda civics in the mountains. These sound atrocious in person :/
Disagree. This machine sounds incredible.
I wish all sxs's had the same belt as this sxs
Looks really goofy and top heavy. Can't believe polaris put the shock on the bottom front A arm, pulling the lower ball joint apart. Really bad idea.

"too much power"
-Gaywad
Why is there always some much talk about horsepower and almost zero talk about torque? They are both very important
the only place to really use that power is the racing and dunes.
Desert running and wide open areas is where this thing would shine.
Why do all SXS nose dive off jumps?
I have the RzR Pro R Ultimate I blew a bearing at 60.4 miles
Wheel bearing
Been hearing a lot of this. We have a follow up video coming soon...
It’s good but they overheat
did you see that bump steer after the jump... maybe not so much bump steer but both front wheels looked like rag dolls...

I'll buy one as soon as Polaris loses the antiquated belt drive system and finally enters the 21st century of drive systems.
Check out Kart cross , now that's a side by side.
i thought i heard somewhere the goverment capped utvs at 1000cc
First hand experience the ball joints are weak they sheer off after too many jumps and the car does end for end major damage.

That's what I was thinking. This thing needs 225 HP to push its 2144 pound dry weight around. Yikes, that's a big girl.
Now take it to the dunes and tell me if it stills has enough power. Way different feel in the soft sand. Recommend Imperial Sand dunes.
Polaris finally approved a new motor so let's see what happens
New motor?
This is the 2.0 liter
Now for them to update the sportsman frame and driveline issues, that sxs should be road legal with that kind of power 😂

It'll break down before it destroys anything
Yes, but can it plow my driveway?
amazing machine but the price is 🤨😳
Insane.
The 4 seat version handles even better, you wouldn’t even believe it!!!
Total beast of a machine,and it sounds awesome with a aftermarket exhaust!!! I just hope I don’t meet any on the trails
If meeting append,keep your side tight 😂
It’s not a sxs
Wonder why they got rid of the cool looking grill with the awesome lights.
