The build quality of Yamaha AND Can Am is great. Can Am has really stepped it up. I really wanted the YXZ but bought the Cam Am Maverick. Why? Still no low range on the Yamaha, that's it. I DEMAND a low range. I dune AND rock crawl and just lowering first gear isn't enough.
@@DUNEATV man, I'm glad yoy're here to tell me how my buddy's experiences with his YXZ really are, especially since he's my main riding buddy. Salty much? Truth a little hard to swallow?
Need a 50" version. The 850 twin would probably be used in a 50" YXZ SS. I don't think Yamaha would keep the triple in a 50" version but that would be amazing power for a much lighter machine.
I have no idea why people are whining about gear ratios.... I just rode my 2017 through the Hatfield McCoy trails in WV and in MI and have no issues - fast on all terrain. It's not a rock climber - and hardly any of the whiners are rock climbers - people just need to drive any version of this machine and it's fine stock.
How would you know who the rock crawlers are? Crystal ball? West coasters (with real dunes & trails) need low range. Any decent mountain trail is gonna have low speed technical spots.
For stock the things looks Amazing, Yamaha builds some good stuff, so you know it's not going to leave you stranded on the trail or catch fire like a Polaris or CanAm. I think with this new Honda Talon (or whatever it'll be called) made Yamaha step up their game a little bit. I would seriously consider this car for sure.
We have 3 Can Am's. They don't break down or leave us stranded. I love Yamaha and have a YZ. They need to bring the YXZ to the next level with a turbo and low range. Until then, they bring up the rear.
Low range would be sweet! Turbo I could see, I've driven a few non-turbo 1000's in tight woods and I think it's plenty. The turbo RZR that I drove was pretty nice, sick power, but man, you needed to have your shit together.
I've been eyeing one of these since the '19s were introduced. I'm a Honda guy (currently own 3, including a P1K5) but Yamaha has definitely caught my eye. Honda had some mis-steps when they introduced the Pioneer 1000. The Talon will probably have a few bugs to work out over the first couple of model years. The YXZ, having been out for a few years, looks to be pretty solid IMO. If I trade this year, it will probably be for the YXZ!
I finally got to see one of these rigs yesterday for the first time up close, and it's a really nice machine. my only dilemma is do I want paddle shift or a foot clutch?
@@gwood701 no thanks. The competition factory turbos their machines and when you factor in total cost to get a turbo machine the competition is significantly cheaper. I'm not paying 20k and then adding 6k for a turbo kit plus install. Polaris RZR turbo starts at 20k
@@nismor3490 don't get me wrong. I love my 16 yxz. My issue is I would like to trade mine in a yr from now and I don't see Yamaha meeting my needs. I'd like more power for the dunes. My Next ride might be an X3
The yxz doesn't need a turbo. My buddy threw an exhaust and a tune on his, and we have no problem keeping up with turbo rzrs. The manual transmission puts power down far better than a cvt, so you don't need 160hp and a turbo to keep up. Plus. A turbo is just another thing to break.
They should offer it with factory snorkels and maybe a lil more aggressive tires, I know that most people will build to suit their style of riding- I k ow I do. But factory snorkels would be great from the factory even for the trail built rides for crossing creeks.
Yamaha just got going 2019 yxz is not even perfected yet but it's closer than the previous years. You can buy a dealer bolt-on turbo or a gear reduction and so on that cool.. 2021 will be 4 seaters. 2007 the rzr was born as a 2008 model. Still not that reliable now in 2019 I mean when they have to send a semi truck out with repair teams to Glamis on holiday weekends to keep the SXS owners on the dunes wow!! I'd say that it's all good
This is my dream sxs to own some day. I should just sell my 16’ sportsman 850 and I have a 2009 Z1 turbo snowmobile to help pay for one of these. But my issue is I don’t have a garage just a shed that won’t fit it, and I have owned the sportsman since new and it’s very low hour and use it’s hard to sell it haha. I waited a long time to buy that new. A the dilemmas of n off road enthusiast.
Man that thing looks awesome 😎. Yamaha has always biult great platforms and letting their buyers build them from one extreme to the other. Instead of coming out with 5 versions of the same thing. The manual separates them from the rest. 😈
kyle stewart Yamaha builds a great product, but to say the build quality is light years away from CAN AM you are on heroine. If that was a cam am the hole bottom of the radiator & fans wouldn't be exposed to get covered in mud. I can assure you can am builds the best off road products
Matthew Rebecchi ummmmm. I didn’t say that man😐. Not would I. I’m a big CanAm fan. Bought a brand new DS650 in 2001. Had that quad for 15 years. Man I miss that old Sandpig.
Can am and polaris aren't even close to the build quality of yamaha. The never have been, and I dont think they ever will be. I have owned machines from all the big brands. Yamaha and honda are way ahead in the build quality category.
@@mattreb5748 I own a yxz and my wife picked herself up an x3 xmr. Both machines are amazing. But I do have to say the Japanese stuff is "light years" ahead in quality and fit and finish. The can am feels cheap. Have not had to do any major repairs on either machine and we put them through hell. So I'm not knocking the can am. Just my observation
If this thing didn't cost as much as a 5.0, or SS Camaro I'd get one. I just can't pull the trigger after seeing the sticker on these new SxS's. I get all ready to go buy one untill I think of the payment. You guys who have these things I tip my hat to you. I just can't do it, so I will stick to my SxS I've had for 8 years.
DUNEYXZ How so? The YXZ is slower and has less horsepower, even the non-turbo RZR 1K is faster. You sure won’t be keeping up with any RZR’s or X3’s on the trails either.
Looks like the last years model and the last n last and last before that. Bird 🐦 beak front end and Raptor / bat mobile rear. Just my opinion of course but I love the look of the polaris over the yams.. Ive been a Yamaha fan forever too and owner. Love to see a drastic appearance overhaul.
Pioneer came out in 2016 with its automatic electric shift transmission....YXZ came out 2016 with full manual transmission, the SS is not automatic....
@@joshturner696 Honda is automatic with capabilities of shifting like most common cars today....The Yamaha is 5 speed sequential transmission and the R has a manual clutch the SS has electronic controlled clutch.....
This is the way to do a review, direct, honest and to the point.

Chris Baumgarten...But you have a rubber band transmission!
@@DUNEATV I'd rather replace my "rubber band" than a cooked clutch.
If Yamaha would put this out with a Turbo, I’m all in!
They do...
Yamaha sells a gytr kit that allows you to keep your warranty and makes 200hp!!
could you start it or maybe drive it around a little ? I hope I'm not asking too much...
3cutekidz right??
I was thinking the same thing...lets see this thing go!
It says walk around
Its a walk around video...........
Don’t you just love Competition among brands, it just makes things get better and better.
These guys are so used to riding crap like Polaris ..that they are shocked when they get in a Yamaha and they really like it
Lol
Not really. My buddy had a YXZ. That thing was always in the shop getting fixed.
Joshua Taylor...Your pants are on fire! 🔥

AJ It is exactly what I wanted to know! Real driver feedback. Thank you for that👍
Glad to help
Thanks for the review AJ. Patiently awaiting the Dirt Trax review of the Talon.
I absolutely love my 2017 YXZ!
I love your channel DUNE YXZ
Just traded in my 17 ss for a 20 ss se. I shouldn't have watched this. Now I'm more amped up than this guy is
Thomas Blais My buddy just bought one...it’s awesome! The one you bought is the best SXS on the market!

I live up in northern ontario. My wife has an x3 xmr. My '17 ss seems to do quite well. Just gotta hit stuff a little quicker than she does.
3400 miles on my 2019 YXZSS SE, it rock crawls like a madman
Excellent review, this is the one that I want and I think your analysis has helped me decide on this or the Talon.

Manual shift over CVT any day!! Thanks A.J.!
Great point about being mud ready with no CVT and a high air intake
Waiting to see the Honda talon before I pull the trigger on this one

It takes a couple of years to get refinement starting to get tempted for my first sxs

Needs a low range, turbo, and 72” version.
چه کسی را چقبزگربرکث
We need a Yamaha vs honda shoot out!
If only they would offer a factory turbo
This has the Ti rods factoryandi think the gytr turbo kit is 1k less than before. So technically you could get it turbo for about 25k. Love my yxz!!!

If only they put the sidewinder turbo engine out of the sled in this SxS there wouldn’t be any challengers just GAME OVER Can Am & Polaris
On a scale of 1-10 of how Canadian you sounded, you were at a 9.5 this time.
Might need to trade in my 2016.
I really want then to put the Yamaha R1 engine in the YXZ
Yeah that wouldnt do to well

I was looking at the 2019 yxz and the 2019 wildcat xx. I know you had good things to say about both. How would you compare them?
That's the first thing I noticed was the rims thought they were aftermarket at first.
Love to see the RS1 vs 19 YXZ head to head.

The problem with the Yamaha is the price. XP 1000 always have bug discounts on them. I'm seen them at $14000 out the door
Plus the Textron XX is pretty good too. They did some changes to theirs also.
DUNEYXZ How so? The YXZ is slower and has less horsepower, even the non-turbo RZR 1K is faster. You sure won’t be keeping up with any RZR’s or X3’s on the trails either.
I did. Nice machine, but no low range is a deal breaker for me.
@@TheBandit7613 19 has a low range now
Tell us about the shocks!
I review where the utv doesnt run?
Manual > cvt
i bet the textron xx sounds as good.
Badass machine heavy built
no more clutch in 2019?
Nice unit!
Have you heard anything about the "upgraded cage" I had 2 frames be replaced on my 2017. It got totaled out on me and I haven't got another one yet.
All it's missing is an unlocking rear end.
The only real problem with the Yamaha is you can’t take the big jumps like the domestics.
I like it!
Stupid question, can ya get this package with a clutch pedal?
Sure can
How would you compare this to say an RS1 if you can even compare the two?
Christopher Cain two different worlds, just the single seat vs two seater
They’re really stretching and pushing the non turbo unit when if they really wanted to they should have came with turbo first generation
For the price it should come with a roof
Do a mud build on it,let's see what it will do🤙🏼

sniff ah-umm....good review...ah-umm..sniff
Need to make an automatic
You need to learn how to drive a manual
Do they make one for people taller than 5'9"?
Nothing will ever match the 2016 sequential gear box
It's the same gearbox. Ratios are slightly different
Cool I want one or 2
I dont think very good feedback havent herd anything since the short review. come on guys
Looks cool...Could you drive the damn thing?????

No clutch pedal means no manual sweetheart domt try and justify that
ahhh, manual means you MANUALLY have to shift gears, whether it is a paddle or the R, you have to shift it MANUALLY. The SS does not shift itself
Sounds like you work for Yamaha because i never seen any guy try to sell something as hard as you are.
