![[HOONIGAN] Jump Cuts: SENDING IT in the Streets of Long Beach! In The New Polaris RZR Pro R](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5PoiT-hTG2g/mqdefault.jpg)
I’ve been off my dirt bike for 10 years now. And I see, and feel, how the stresses of life have piled up and changed me for the worse. Because of this, I have been thinking seriously about getting another bike. But I have too many responsibilities to risk broken collarbones, sprained ankles, or dislocated shoulders. I’m 56 now, and I don’t heal as fast as I used too. Last Wednesday night (9/30/20), at about 10pm, I saw this video. Afterwards, I watched Shock Therapy’s review. That was all I needed. I immediately sent out a dozen requests for quote to dealers around the state. 22 hrs later, I was towing home my brand new RS1. Thank you Sir for making this review.
How do you like it
I still can’t believe the single seat took sooooo long to come back around.the original Honda odyssey and pilot’s were a freaking blast back in the day. I grew up on them and when UTV’s became popular I wanted the single back!!
This made me want 1 even more.
Honda should have kept going with the odyssey and the pilot...
Yah but those are dune buggy’s and basically just big go karts they don’t compare at all to the Rs1
@@gen1canamoutlander705 Yeah but I think he means the technology would of progressed if they didn't stop making them. They might have been better then anything on the market due to years of experience and R&D.
@Payton Blake I was going to say the same thing.
I wish my dad who was paralyzed waist down, were still here today to see all these single seaters coming to the scene. He would had been ecstatic
Go for a rip in honor of your old man, bud 🤘👍
I agree just love the single seat concept.
I came back to watch this AGAIN! So well done!
I don't own one, but I have sat in one and immediately came in my pants. But, one benefit to this over a side by side if you're tall like me....you have way more legroom in this beast. Being 6'6" can be a hindrance, but I fit comfortably in this thing compared to any other side by sides I've sat in.
And way more elbow room on the left side over a side by side , so comfy
Driving the RS1 is amazing, on a whole new level.
For the husbands that hate their wives.
Or want to leave them at home..lol
Or the wives that think its just a stupid toy and so muddy lol
why do you think i bought one lol
Or who respect their wives enough to get them their own RS1...
@@pistonburner6448 I don’t get the whole “I hate my wife” thing. You married her for a reason lmao I’d absolutely get two of these.
Thank you for purswading me now I'm getting one at the start of next year this looks sweet and love your channel keep it up.
Had mine for 2 months now. Been riding atvs and SxSs for 20 yrs. This machine is my favorite by far. Review is spot on. I put a harness in right away cause it loves to be haulin azz.
Everything else in my garage has been gathering dust since getting mine 6 months ago.
Bought mine in Sept and I also have more then 1 sxs n just love to drive the rs1 more. After tomorrow I should have 600 miles on it and loving every second. n I agree about the harness when you are strapped in nice and tight its a whole different world n let the fun begin.
Right on! I was holding out to see what yamaha was going to do to the 19 yxz. I Figured I would still want lower gears or a low gear and didn't want to spend extra money to do what should of been done from the factory. Not to mention the rs1 is more reasonably priced. Im thinking of selling my raptor since it is less tiresome and much more enjoyable to ride the rs1. I would love to see a 1 seat version of the yxz with a low range. YZ1! Lol
As i would love to see a yamaha single seat...Not big on the polaris..But after seeing the RS1..I want one....And starting price for the YXZ...$19,000...
@@snsschlupp3464how much did you pay out the door thanks im in us.
What a beast. I'm interested in the next version. Usually it's always better. And imagine that with a custom cage. Drooling!!!!
What a great looking machine! I'm in need of some throttle therapy myself, this machine would greatly help with that!
Awesome footage of the RS1, love the big air shots!
Thanks!
Thanks for honest review guys in this unit. Is. Rs1 dive by nose when jump? Also - can you think it can be good on 32” mud tires?
BEST review from Dirt Trax! I Love that "Throttle Therapy" Thing 😄😄😄😄😄. This man understud me 😂
🤜💥🤛
@@dirttraxtv
in fact, I've looked at this review a dozen times. The way the video is packaged emotionally and slightly philosophically in connection with cool sayings and dry humor makes it good!
This way of reporting is appealing because it is so true. For many of us, driving a car is actually an escape from the dreary everyday life, so it hits the spot
I love the Solo so much !
Great looking rig! I know you guys are building a Glamis RS1 right???
What if it had DS650 style front fenders? Not sure if there'd be enough room to still turn all the way, but it's a thought
Need to add this to my arsenal !!
Still think they should have made a smaller one too, basically like 900 rzr trail with a single seat. Could have been close to the same price as a scrambler 1000 too.
Brother, you couldn't be more right about the RS1!
I love you guys dirt traxx can you do a special request build for a 2005 bombardier Outlander 400xt
Looks like a blast.
What is the propose of the double brake pedal, like what does it do?
I want one now!!!
Hell yeah! I can’t wait to get one 🤟🤟🤟
Would like opinions....2 RS1s or 1 turbo S. Close to the same price
Do the open wheels sling alot of mud on the driver?
I recently picked up an rs1 , it is a really fun machine , I am happy I got it
GDM Motorsports I just bought one last week, took it out to the desert for his break and ride, boy this thing is really fun to drive. He's right about the shift lever it does pinch you if you don't hold it right. I already put some 30 inch tires on it some upper tinted Poly carbonate door panels, a new seat, and I have a roof and windshield on order that should be delivered this week.
@@patd4u2 I only took mine out twice so far, I have well over a hundred miles so far , not sure of the exact number, I rode both times with a full windshield but I just got a short windshield delivered today, mine also had a little roof that they had added from the dealer, I'm hoping to head out to Pennsylvania this weekend to ride some more
@@booyamotorsports I have taken mine out once to the desert, was loads of fun driving it, Mine came stock except for the 4 point harness they installed, I ordered a full windshield and roof for it, The windshield came in yesterday and the roof today, I replaced the stock seat with a suspension seat that my Son-in-law got for me from his work, was a prototype they were going to start producing but decided not to make, I got lucky and it matched my black RS1, and I bought some almost new 30 inch Tensor Regulator tires off of Facebook marketplace and put them on. I really like this RS1, drives so different than my 4 seat RZR.
Looks so much of a blast for me to past over a regular 4 wheeler ...in favor of a sit-in..wheeler
The RZR for people without friends... good review
Or maybe people with a job and can afford it and have friends with jobs that have their own RS1.
Just saying.
I have friends... LOL, and we all agree it would be move fun to race around in RS1 than a SXS
cybermavrik Im guessing it’s that great tasting Polaris koolaid people love because so many others bought one without researching their reliability shortcomings
I have an RS1 and love it, Love everything about it and I do not have to hear anyone complain that I am driving to fast, jumping to high, Hitting turns real hard and the list goes on n on. LOVE THIS THING!!!
@@snsschlupp3464
Have you had any problems with it?
I think you are forgetting the Polaris ace came before the rs1
This or college hmmm 🤔
College first, Be and Engineer. So You can design and ride those buggies everyday.
Just join the union. Free school, 5 yr apprenticeship. TRUST ME PLEASE
@@mitchelmulkey7538 I'm a union carpenter in San Diego California. Lots & lots of work here for Atleast the next 7 years. School for 1 week every 3 months. You learn everything on the job. Just be safe don't miss days of work, get there 20 minutes early everyday. Journeyman wages here are $40 an hour, benifits, full pension and two $4500 vacation checks a year. Great money, no debt, and you learn a trade. If you don't like carpentry. Join operators, elevators, electrical.
Anything Adrenaline. I’ll have to look into it man thanks for the advice.
This or a 200 000$ debt that u never gonna pay 🤔
a solution would be mud gaurds that only cover the tire and hook to the arms... like old ds650
Then u can’t put bigger tires
I was thinking mesh netting would help reduce some and still maintain low speed visibility.
Those are *FUGLY ASF!*
Absolute awesome machine. Beefy drive line. Using the same as the Turbo S. It will Rip.
I wonder if it's worth the extra over a 900 ace xc
Is this Polaris’s version of the Honda pilot fl400?
Man, this thing looks so fun i'm debating selling my dirt bikes and picking one of these bad boys up.
Did you?
My buddy is 6’7 is there plenty of leg room in the cockpit
i just got a ace today it is so fun mu grandson said his dad bot him one.
Maybe a windshield on the side cut out of the door?
Honestly I’d only buy if I had a lot of money since I would only go out so often by myself and without someone to go with me. I also like having extra storage with a full size
Really sad to see these failed in the market. They we're so fun.
Agreed!
The RZR for people without life parasites ... like a wife. Just as much fun, much less $$. No whining complainer in the passenger seat.
😂
I like this thing and that’s a lot coming from me lol. I’m no fan of Polaris but this is impressive! I never did feel good on the left side of a SxS on a hillside. ATV habit of sitting in the center I guess. But this machine I can sit in the center and not feel like I’m gonna roll over on a hillside. I would definitely give this a real look if I was in the market!
If you get the chance to ride one, go for it.
This is my 1st Polaris. Never thought I would ever buy a Polaris lol, Until this single seater came out.
The rs1 should definitely be more capable but the performance gap will widen with second gen probably and I can't hardly wait until Yamaha gets on the scene with a solo version YXZ-R 1000R-SS-RS-RTT+Platinum-GYT-R!!! The SS means single seat, the RS means racing spec, the RTT means rally twin turbo, the down side is it's gonna cost around $50k probably..
I got a can am add for this video
Anybody know any off road tracks near birmingham?
For rs1
Yeah it’s cool but I’ve been riding a quad for years Sure going fast is fun But not getting to share it with somebody else does gets old fast. My opinion if you plan on trail riding just spend the extra money and get the extra seat Sharing the experience is well worth it
But does those seven inches add to the driving capabilities like handling and cornering and traction
The RS1 handles so great.
I need it
this is freedom
If side by sides or single seaters were made legal here in Georgia, I would love to have one. I have an Arctic Cat Prowler 550 and I paid less than $9000 new. I can't see $15,000 plus for something you can't even drive on road. I know that's not a manufacturers fault, though. Motorcycles have less protection that a UTV with roll cage and are legal, so why not UTV's?
Work on your state assembly. Here in Nevada, we ride straight from our driveway to the trails. Not allowed on freeways or high speed state highways. Lots of western states allow atvs and SxS's.
In other countries these are road legal. Makes more sense that way....
And it’s fat friendly my dad who’s on the heavier side of 300 pounds said it was the most comfortable atv he’s sat in
They are super comfortable for sure.
@@nakedfreak1 like 130ish I think
Why not get a quad or dirt bike i have a rzr their fun but still why not get a quad or dirt bike
sounds like Josh Gates the guy on Expedition Unknown
Another thing is you don’t feel guilty for not taking your friends
Im curious to what can-am's answer will be to the RS1?
K2baked 5 years all the way to no answer...wish they did though
Uh how about a Polaris ACE
Correction, the rs1 has a turbo S front diff and xp turbo transmission!
Buen beiculo diseñado mejor gue los demás utv
Suspension seems a little stiff
Honda did this twenty years ago. It was called odessey. They should make a new version.
Actually, the Honda Pilot FL400 was thirty years ago.
An awesome machine, but doesn't come close to the RS1.
I had a pilot, it was awesome
Every day rider. Put tags on it
No turbo
Closes thing to an Honda Odyssey...fl250..fl350..fl400
If you want throttle therapy in your sxs just go alone. You don’t need one seat to go alone. Duh! I do like the better balance of the single seater though. Almost makes me want one.
i thought this thing was called "ace"
You could always drive your side by side by yourself lol.
Throttle therapy, for when you need to forget about how much you just spent on your rs1
Can you give me one
id rather keep my redline revolt
8:
Four wheeler. With stearing wheel. Not right. Nope not takeing handel bars away. Now i learnt on bars. And bikes only. I could say. Ok Polaris. Much crunk cheese.
If your driving an open wheel offroad vehicle, do not complain about mud.
Fair point.
Why make this when they have a ace 900
Drive one and see !!!!!
I bought a new 2016 Ace 900sp and put 25 miles on it. I bought a 2018 RS1 when it came out and let me tell you it is a beast. It is faster than you will ever need on trails, climbs like a bear, over and up just about anything. I also have 2018 RZR Turbo for when my daughter rides along or when my wife goes riding. Here's the deal. Anyone that thinks the RS1 is an Ace needs to actually look at them , drive them , then you will see. The Ace is a atv with a lowered seat which is great for someone wanting to ride easy trails. If you want to actually do some fast crazy over the top blast fun then get the RS1. MY ACE IS FOR SALE ,taking a $4000 loss from what I paid and it still only has 25 miles on it......THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING...lol
Anyone want to buy my bass boat?
I'll trade you my ACE 900.
And Polaris discontinued the RS1,
Thanks Polaris.
for the single people hhahahaha

He trys to hard to bounce his head around when he talks
Third
Liberals Therapy, coloring books and dragqueen story hour. Conservatives: Throttle therapy going 65mph with your hair on fire, feel this way flying down the trails in my ACE. haha
You mean Polaris ace ?
Try watching the video before commenting next time.
Chuck U Farlie I have watched the video... what’s your point?
Turn the sound on.
Chuck U Farlie stop beating around the bush, what is your point???? I call this thing a glorified ace. What is your point ?
I was attempting to not call you an outright fool. Guess you can't take a hint.
How many recalls? That’s the most important question when you’re thinking of buying a POS POLARIS
Its a gocart on cocaine.
slow....
Make a 2000cc version already 1000 isn’t enough and I’m being serious. 20 grand for something that can barely reach 75 smh.
Show me another vehicle besides a sxs, that comes with 20 inch suspension travel and weighs under 1500 pounds and has a brand new price tag under 20k? The other reason is most states consider anything over 1k engine size to not be a UTV and many racing bodies limit to 1k also, you want more power get the turbo. For RS1 especially 110 HP and 75 off road is more than enough.
Trigger for 20k just get an old lifted Jeep. 20k for a go kart that can only reach 75 and has no other purpose than playing with it, which isn’t even fast enough to have actual fun with, especially for it’s price, is way too much and is definitely not worth it.
@@adam100a8 lol the RS1 and other SxS will eat ur ass up in a jeep.
U obviously know nothing about these
1000 cc is the max any of these is allowed to be.
too wide, so many side by sides are useless for half the trails
Perfect for the person who wants to ride mx but doesn’t have the skill for a bike.
so you do not have to have skill to ride a sxs lol. I wonder where you go riding. Where I go riding you need skill whatever your riding.
SNS GGL I had a rzr, no skill needed anyone could hop in and be fine. If they did mess up who cares you have a cage and harnesses. Now put someone who has never been on a bike on a 450 and they’re going to be in the hospital.
lol again maybe you just ride on tracks or nice trails and that's ok. But to come on here and say no skill needed for driving a sxs makes me laugh. I did the dirt bike thing for years at least when you get in trouble with a bike you can most likely part with it, With a sxs your strapped in it and going for 1 hell of a ride and hope it holds together.
SNS GGL I have track riding, hills, rzr’s, quads and other stuff on my RUclips. You have flat roads. 👍🏻
This is literally a overpriced quad with a cage and steering wheel. Smh
Not in any way. The ace was based on a quad but this is based on the rzr so it gets the handling and the suspension travel of the rzr
Drive it
You would love it. I guarantee it
I hate utvs, its like using a cross bow in bow season. Its ment for old men that cant handle a quad anymore... with age comes a cage. Take sport quads for example, actually takes talent and theres a bit of risk when you ride them on a mx track. These things take all the fun out of it IMO
We all have our opinion. I didn't have too much fun in a classic side by side UTV, but then I got in the solo and it was the most fun I've had off-road other than a dirtbike. I'm just saying hop in one if you can sometime
