They are the same speed ! The only reason the one was ahead was response time, you can see the one dude is faster in reacting or he is jumping the gun either way they are the same! That's why a heads up race is never a real indicator, you would be better off using the same guy and doing time trials .
It RZR sharp studios of course the RZR will win. Do a search for any other model and thats the one that will win the race. Im a HP fan so I like the fact each company is pushing to get more power.
mineurbiz Probably loose 10 hp through the drive belt. So really the 2016 xds is still running 121 at the rear wheels as the rzr is 134 at the rear wheels.
x1boomer I have to agree with U... also I am unbiased and I watched the video it honestly looks like the rzr got the jump on take off as if the maverick driver hesistated or something. the bikes didn't take off at exact same time.. not saying the maverick would have won but that was bad take off... the tires didn't even turn at same time... so I don't really feel it was a good example... I being unbiased and fair would have to have another race with both bikes getting same takeoff and mutual jump on line...jus saying
We agree and we didn't get to have as many starts as we wanted to get a good even start because of time restraints. A better video will be coming soon though.
cody Richardson Yeah I would have to agree. This race was won at the line. Not a very fare comparison at all. And if your going to do a video like this and its NOT promoting either manufacturer then maybe a simple A to B straight line "drag race" should be on the pavement. TO MANY VARIABLES in the dirt or sand. 2wd is something to think about also. I mean if one is producing a lot more torque its not going to get traction and is going to finish last every time...
+Genki Dama I agree but we got rained out and the filming time frame was already short. A lot of variables led to this. We got a video of it racing. Good or not it's out for people to see.
+Mike Panocatapolis (Not boba fett) Smart Can Am lovers will accept the results because they know the Polaris will break down sooner and more often than the higher quality Can Am.
I think they are both similarly performing machines. The can am has a higher power to weight, which should give it an edge in speed. How ever it appears that it may not. This can also be a driver issue. Bad driver will not make a good machine our perfom a better driver in a similar perfomring machine.
I suggest sitting in all the machines and see which one feels right for you. Also if you know anyone that has each of one see if you can take them for a spin. Each one has it's benefits.
so do we get to see the new Yamaha and rzr battle it out at the first of sept . looks like your supporting dealer is also a Yamaha dealer . looking at the teaser video I see four header pipes im thinking apex engine 160hp with out turbo
Would a channel the has rzr in its title show a video with a can am winning? Cant take this video as a non bias review. Nothing against rzr studios and not saying the rzr is slower but not an un bias tester so ill wait for more reviews to come out before dismissing the can am.
All they had access to was the '15 canam. That being said, there is another video showing '16 vs '16 and the canam wins the majority... I have a '14 900 xp4 and have a great time. Have not had any major issues with it, and am not sure I would spend close to $25k on either turbo. For not much more I could have an LS1 sand car..
I watched take off 5 or 6 times in a row, im sure the polaris is in 4x4, as dust kicks up from front tires, but in same conditions the canam does not kick p dirt with front tires on take off
Watch as the guy driving the RZR lifts his left leg as they take off. That tell me that he was spooling up the turbo! That's why he got the jump on the Maverick.
THE ONLY REASON POLARIS HAS TURBO IS BECAUSE OF CAN-AM. POLARIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ALOT HAPPIER AND WOULD HAVE MADE WAY MORE MONEY SLOWLY BUMPING UP HP #'S NOT WORRYINNG ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. SO ALL YOU CAN-AM HATERS SHOULD SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR CAN-AM FOR PUSHING POLARIS INTO THIS NEW MODEL. THEY DIDNT NEED TO BUILD THIS. THEY WOULD HAVE RATHER SOLD EVERY RZR OWNER 3 MORE RZRS BEFORE THIS ONE WOULD HAVE CAME OUT IN 2018.
ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS You're right. It is also the same on the opposite side, all the RZR haters should know that maybe the maverick lineup won't be a thing without Polaris..
ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS I agree,hey if the big 3 sxs manufacturers can build something that can go 50+ through deep whoops then we should all be happy and not be so dam picky!We will all see who wins the mint 400 again!lol
Ok that's a good race but they are a year apart Do the 2016 can am 131 hp vs 2016 RZR 141hp bet the can am smokes the RZR my opinion If the can am turbo keeps up with the rzr141hp and it's only a 121hp then the 131 hp will smash it!!!!!!!! And yes can am is better built I can't stand it with the popo saying they have been in the industry longer then step up the game!!!!
+billy hebert they're both in 4wd you idiot. and canned hams are electrical problem nightmares. not to mention the factory doesn't do shit to back them up when they break. save yourself a headache and buy a Polaris. you're welcome
Know what's funny i bought a bran new razer there had problems with it draining the battery and overheating issues on a new unit they didn't help me one bit but they still send me spam ! Mail every month horrible experience with them
Ali Al-wazzan Can am doesn't release their 2016's until like September or October. But you loose 10 hp through the drive belt. So really the hp number in the 2016 can am is 121 to the rear wheels and the rzr is about 134 hp to the rear wheels. So all in all it's still 13 hp difference.
Kyle Fitzgerald O you have ran both machines on a chassis dyno? And they BOTH lost 10hp??? I would love to see the charts or videos. Post the results, I would love to see em
2016 the rzr turbo 1000xp vs 2015 can am maverick x ds turbo the winner rzr turbo try test 2016 can am maverick x ds vs rzr turbo 1000xp maybe there is something is going to change
why would you not compare the both the 2016 models instead of a 15 and a 16? pretty sure the 2016 maverick makes 134hp which by rights would trump the rzr judging by this race
Kyle Fitzgerald the rzr turbo is a whole new motor. The entire chassis is a basically new from the ground up. 925cc. and 999cc doesn't mean more hp. their 325cc etx sportsman puts out 30+ hp. their 570cc puts out 44. thats more than yamaha 700cc engine.
Spencer Gull Yeah I know. But then again the rotax engines are known for torque. So that's why the maverick could keep up at the start. But if you watched the one where both 16 models vs the maverick actually beets the rzr by 3 feet in some races. Torque is everything my friend.
Spencer Gull yeah Yamaha has fallen a sleep in the atv engine world! That engine has been around for 15 yrs now. The 660cc engine started it all and Yamaha needs to step up
Very biased........ RZR Turbo stock is slower than the Maverick Turbo in stock form..... There are enough videos out there to prove it. The Maverick got a late jump which can not be compensated for in 250ft..... It would have pulled away no problem.
there are videos of 16 vs 16 n on asphalt the maverick wins by 1 or 2 vehicles lengths and on flat sand rzr wins by 1 or 2 lengths n on sand dunes maverick wins by 2 or 3 lengths, most likely because it is lighter
Lol can you not see the guy in the can am delayed the start, then he saw he was catching up and let of so the Polaris would win, other than that I like your vids man
Can am is best no matter what Belts last alot longer they are made from better material not held together with super glue like polaris Ive had plenty polaris and they dont compare to can am But take it as you want Can am will come out with something better than polaris
I had a outlander 1000xt but $1000 to get it serviced 3 times and $210 every 500 miles to get brakes put on it got old quick. the less than 10 inches of ground clearance sucked also when 11 was advertised and the clutches sucked, I smoked the belt with stock size all terrain tires! but it was fast lol.
I can tell the drivers were both inexperienced. a real driver would have gassed it 10FT, and then picked up that pretty young lady and took her trail riding for the day. better luck next time guys, but hey..... that 6ft victory is impressive ;). lol
First of all, you are comparing a 2016 rzr with a 2015 maverick & you showed a dealership in the beginning so how could you not get your hands on a 2016 Mav, and the video is obviously biased, since one of the first things you said was you were "Showcasing" the rzr, then you gave specs and said the rzr is 144/1495 & maverick is 121/1399 was, that is only a 96 lb difference but a whopping 23 hp difference, that my friend is not an equal comparison, then on each start the rzr jumps or at least takes off first, you should have swapped drivers to see what happened, and I believe that the Mav was lifting at the end to make the rzr a great looking "Showcase"...I'm not mad at ya, just believe you were biased from the start, oh & I noticed what your desktop background was...Next time you do a comparison, contact me and let me be the Mav driver, but make sure you are Showcasing it, because it won't lose with myself driving it...;)
+Jason Williams thanks for the reply and I've said it before. Unfortunately you have no idea of the conditions that day or what my feelings were and bias. If you can know a person by watching their video or know what filming day was like behind the scenes you'd be singing a different tune. However, you were not there so you really can't say much but speculate. I'm not mad either because this crappy comparison has become one of the top viewed RZR videos --flaws and all. Filming day sucked with storms moving in and that changed the whole day cause we had a super short filming window which was already small to begin with. The plan was to compare the new Mav with the RZR but at the timeliness of the video there wasn't one available. The conditions weren't perfect for racing either but it's what I had. Compared with the quality and time put in to this video compared to the others it doesn't hold a candle to quality. But I was the first to show it race and that was the goal. The "controversy" I believe helped it's views even though it was unintentional. Thanks for the view even though you hated the video it's still a view ;-)
+Jason Williams you seem to have everything figured out. Can't keep anything from you...it's unfortunate that you really don't have a clue of the situation or timeliness of the filming. Otherwise you'd be singing a different tune. Appreciate you trying to break down what "happened" but you are simply ignorant of the facts.
Seriously RZR? A 23HP difference and you get maybe one length at best with what looked like a jumpy headstart by the RZR driver on every race? Not impressed. It'll be recalled for something as RZR is known for. The maverick is why you Rzr 1000's lovers have a better product. The rzr 800 and 900's of old gen were chincy
Wait, Wait, Wait! Did you say you took the new tires off so as not to mess up this NEW machine. Did you talk to your techs about this head to head shoot out before you did it. If these machines are NOT past their break in times this shoot out means NOTHING! I don't know about the RZR but I do know that the computer on the Can Am is in a break in mode and will not allow it to develop full power until AFTER it has enough run time on it. Oops - fail.
Appreciate your assessment however this was truly unbiased and was done by a dealership that sells both units. They had nothing to gain or lose if either won the race.
Mike Panocatapolis Either way 2016 vs 2016, in the dunes that extra 13 hp does make a difference. But I'm sure once the 2016 xds comes out I'm sure both company's will be at it. Just wait right away they'll be at 200 hp lol!
I've drove both and the maverick has much better build quality the Polaris has the ugliest welds and it feels less responsive then the canam 100% can am is the beast of the wheelers
they need to edit this better the first 250 ft drag race clip was in 4 wheel drive on the launch then they changed the camera angle and they were in 2 wheel drive the little things bug me hahahahah
+RZRsharpStudios have you watched it cuz at 1:19 that launch was a 4 wheel drive launch then the next camera angle of the launch was 2 wheel drive sir hahaha
+preston donohew I stand corrected. It appears the rushing to get this out I did in fact put the 4wd start. This was probably the most rushed and little time frame I had to get a video out. Thanks for the correction. Feel free to watch my other videos that were not rushed and what I feel are much better quality.
and all the Polaris are junk beside the scrambler the scrambler is the only bike with quality build everyone I know regrets buying there over priced pos Polaris canam for the win
Can am is a joke. went poker rally with my 2012 rzr900Xp and my buddys 2013 Artic cat and his son in laws 2014 1000r maverick..guess what ? we had to look for jumper cables coz the Canam need a boost after we stopped for a beer. Radio was off lights wer off ..it just died...brand new machine for $35k. everyone at the rally was shaking their heads tsk tsk tsk. Can am all show no go!
why not compare a 16 maverick with a 16 rzr. the 15 maverick has less power. horrible comparison. " lets race this 97 z50 against this new 2017 crf 50."
what the hell lol the maverick would have won but the rzr was stalling up at the line and the maverick wasn't so bad they actually both been spooling up at the line then the rzr would have lost I beat them all the time including the junk Yamaha
Loved your video. We have the RZR XP 1000 and Wildcat X ATV's and we tour with them, they are well built and hold up super well on our trails.
I cant wait for them to compare the 2016 maverick vs 2016 turbo rzr
wow 144hp vs 121hp and that is all the RZR pulled it by.... I won't be surprised if the 2016 131hp Mav gets the on the RZR
They are the same speed ! The only reason the one was ahead was response time, you can see the one dude is faster in reacting or he is jumping the gun either way they are the same! That's why a heads up race is never a real indicator, you would be better off using the same guy and doing time trials .
It RZR sharp studios of course the RZR will win. Do a search for any other model and thats the one that will win the race. Im a HP fan so I like the fact each company is pushing to get more power.
Would like to see them both on a dyno, just to see the power loss through the drive train and now much each puts to the wheels.
mineurbiz alba racing has done it.. can am looses..
mineurbiz Probably loose 10 hp through the drive belt. So really the 2016 xds is still running 121 at the rear wheels as the rzr is 134 at the rear wheels.
There's a Dyno out and youre way off. 108 at the wheels.
shmodzilla Really? Wow, that's a bit of a loss through the clutch.
Definetly need to run the 16's against each other, as the 16 Can-Am is definitely quicker
x1boomer I have to agree with U... also I am unbiased and I watched the video it honestly looks like the rzr got the jump on take off as if the maverick driver hesistated or something. the bikes didn't take off at exact same time.. not saying the maverick would have won but that was bad take off... the tires didn't even turn at same time... so I don't really feel it was a good example...

TO MANY VARIABLES in the dirt or sand. 2wd is something to think about also. I mean if one is producing a lot more torque its not going to get traction and is going to finish last every time...
+RZRsharpStudios I driver swap after a few pulls would be a good idea imo.
+Genki Dama I agree but we got rained out and the filming time frame was already short. A lot of variables led to this. We got a video of it racing. Good or not it's out for people to see.
It's cool. I know that making good video content is harder than it looks. Maybe next time though!
How many tries did it actually take y'all to get Polaris to out perform can am ???
Well once all it take is knowledge to under stand that Polaris is better
Considering that Polaris has 20 more horsepower, about the same weight, and the gearing is better if say one
ivan adame a year is how long it took... That's how long it took Polaris to play catch up and put a turbo in their machine.
1
Sniping Ghost can am is proven scientifically better then Polaris
You know the can spam lovers will not accept the results no matter how you do it.
Mike Panocatapolis watch this then tell me what u think:)
+Mike Panocatapolis (Not boba fett) Smart Can Am lovers will accept the results because they know the Polaris will break down sooner and more often than the higher quality Can Am.
I think they are both similarly performing machines. The can am has a higher power to weight, which should give it an edge in speed. How ever it appears that it may not.
This can also be a driver issue. Bad driver will not make a good machine our perfom a better driver in a similar perfomring machine.
Im planning on getting either a Polaris maverick or Yamaha which is better???
for me can am maverick is better but I think is the same thing
Darren Santiago ok thanks👍
I suggest sitting in all the machines and see which one feels right for you. Also if you know anyone that has each of one see if you can take them for a spin. Each one has it's benefits.
RZRsharpstudios you are right
Ill suggest too
***** ok thanks
Both of them are great, I mostly like Polaris and Yamaha though, I did just get a Polaris RZR today anyways.
so do we get to see the new Yamaha and rzr battle it out at the first of sept . looks like your supporting dealer is also a Yamaha dealer . looking at the teaser video I see four header pipes im thinking apex engine 160hp with out turbo
Lacey Smart Nah its a three cylinder with 110hp n/a
Why the guy in the maverick keeps backing off at the start of race
RZR jumped every race my Maverick never seen the back of a RZR on clean run
Gil Rosas hahaha play it in slow motion not a jump at all super clean but I do agree they should both be in dirt not dirt and grass
Would a channel the has rzr in its title show a video with a can am winning? Cant take this video as a non bias review. Nothing against rzr studios and not saying the rzr is slower but not an un bias tester so ill wait for more reviews to come out before dismissing the can am.
All they had access to was the '15 canam. That being said, there is another video showing '16 vs '16 and the canam wins the majority... I have a '14 900 xp4 and have a great time. Have not had any major issues with it, and am not sure I would spend close to $25k on either turbo. For not much more I could have an LS1 sand car..
The razor got the jump off the line. I'd say they prob are about equal. It's all about what you like
I watched take off 5 or 6 times in a row, im sure the polaris is in 4x4, as dust kicks up from front tires, but in same conditions the canam does not kick p dirt with front tires on take off
Bottom right "in cam view 4x4
Best looking 50% tires I've ever seen on that rzr. lol they were 80%+ tread!
do a test with the new Yamaha sport side by side.
Nice video, except the wheels were a hired actor.
Nice
Watch as the guy driving the RZR lifts his left leg as they take off. That tell me that he was spooling up the turbo! That's why he got the jump on the Maverick.
the Maverick did a 4x4 launch
Nice video can am is awesome
AND I AGREE WITH THE OTHER KID
Same
I agree.
THE ONLY REASON POLARIS HAS TURBO IS BECAUSE OF CAN-AM. POLARIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ALOT HAPPIER AND WOULD HAVE MADE WAY MORE MONEY SLOWLY BUMPING UP HP #'S NOT WORRYINNG ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. SO ALL YOU CAN-AM HATERS SHOULD SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR CAN-AM FOR PUSHING POLARIS INTO THIS NEW MODEL. THEY DIDNT NEED TO BUILD THIS. THEY WOULD HAVE RATHER SOLD EVERY RZR OWNER 3 MORE RZRS BEFORE THIS ONE WOULD HAVE CAME OUT IN 2018.
ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS I totally agree!!!!
I agree. Competition always drives product development and progress.
ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS You're right. It is also the same on the opposite side, all the RZR haters should know that maybe the maverick lineup won't be a thing without Polaris..
ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS I agree,hey if the big 3 sxs manufacturers can build something that can go 50+ through deep whoops then we should all be happy and not be so dam picky!We will all see who wins the mint 400 again!lol
+ALL TERRAIN MOTORSPORTS Polaris came out with the sport UTV first, can-am was the first to add the turbo though.
I can't wait to see how it does in the sand!!
Ok that's a good race but they are a year apart
Do the 2016 can am 131 hp vs 2016 RZR 141hp bet the can am smokes the RZR my opinion
If the can am turbo keeps up with the rzr141hp and it's only a 121hp then the 131 hp will smash it!!!!!!!! And yes can am is better built I can't stand it with the popo saying they have been in the industry longer then step up the game!!!!
+Rene Sanchez it also looked like the polaris was in 4wd and amanged to get more grip off the launch
+billy hebert they're both in 4wd you idiot. and canned hams are electrical
problem nightmares. not to mention the factory doesn't do shit to back them up when they break. save yourself a headache and buy a Polaris. you're welcome
+Josh D'Autremont 1:18 seconds in claimed both were in 2wd iam not bias in any way could be wrong just looking for a fair review.
+billy hebert my apologies sir. 👍😉
+Josh D'Autremont it's all good!
Know what's funny i bought a bran new razer there had problems with it draining the battery and overheating issues on a new unit they didn't help me one bit but they still send me spam ! Mail every month horrible experience with them
rzr got the jump by a bit. Both machines are pretty fast though and look about even.
cool, love the new rzr. not much of a can am fan but that one looked good.... in the rear view
is that automatic transmission?
MR Paddle
Yeah
They should compare with maverick 2016 not 2015
Ali Al-wazzan what if i told you...they're the same fucking shit
Bullet RzrFSE Lol exactly, they just cant take the truth
+Bullet RzrFSE except the can am is rated at 131hp for 2016... So they are not the same.
Ali Al-wazzan Can am doesn't release their 2016's until like September or October. But you loose 10 hp through the drive belt. So really the hp number in the 2016 can am is 121 to the rear wheels and the rzr is about 134 hp to the rear wheels. So all in all it's still 13 hp difference.
Kyle Fitzgerald O you have ran both machines on a chassis dyno? And they BOTH lost 10hp??? I would love to see the charts or videos. Post the results, I would love to see em
2016 the rzr turbo 1000xp vs 2015 can am maverick x ds turbo the winner rzr turbo try test 2016 can am maverick x ds vs rzr turbo 1000xp maybe there is something is going to change
They couldn't even get the can-am xds turbo with 131 hp really!
I like the blue one
Anybody else notice the guy in the can an bombed the holes shot?
why would you not compare the both the 2016 models instead of a 15 and a 16? pretty sure the 2016 maverick makes 134hp which by rights would trump the rzr judging by this race
So where are all the one year difference comments at?
The rzr motor is actually a 999cc engine. That's why they got 110 hp out of the none turbo.
Kyle Fitzgerald the rzr turbo is a whole new motor. The entire chassis is a basically new from the ground up. 925cc. and 999cc doesn't mean more hp. their 325cc etx sportsman puts out 30+ hp. their 570cc puts out 44. thats more than yamaha 700cc engine.
Spencer Gull Yeah I know. But then again the rotax engines are known for torque. So that's why the maverick could keep up at the start. But if you watched the one where both 16 models vs the maverick actually beets the rzr by 3 feet in some races. Torque is everything my friend.
Spencer Gull yeah Yamaha has fallen a sleep in the atv engine world! That engine has been around for 15 yrs now. The 660cc engine started it all and Yamaha needs to step up
great ad for Stillwater UTV whatever, but not much of a comparison
I am a rzr fan but rzr driver got the holeshot otherwise it would have been dead even at 200ft.
Very biased........ RZR Turbo stock is slower than the Maverick Turbo in stock form..... There are enough videos out there to prove it. The Maverick got a late jump which can not be compensated for in 250ft..... It would have pulled away no problem.
LMAO....you had the razr start in the grassy area and the can-am in the loose dirt....NOT an EQUAL START!!
there are videos of 16 vs 16 n on asphalt the maverick wins by 1 or 2 vehicles lengths and on flat sand rzr wins by 1 or 2 lengths n on sand dunes maverick wins by 2 or 3 lengths, most likely because it is lighter
you want to see an awesome COMPARISON!!! HA CHANGE THE BELTS ON A STOP WATCH..... GO
not very fair. xp1k doesn't have "2wd." It's an awd system.
Sorry but the canam was in 4x4 left front broke traction at launch.
And before the roasting begins I'm a Polaris man
+North Mississippi Handgunner on second review it appears the rzr was in 4x4 too. It broke traction in the front.
Does this even matter for the average trail rider. My opinion is that it's all about fun. It's hard to see the sights at 65mph. lol
When will they finally just put an LS engine in one of these things? They're nearly ultra 4 trucks anyways.
2016 maverick turbos ar $13999 right now!
Lol anyone notice the front end wine on the cab cam. 4wd cheat
Lol can you not see the guy in the can am delayed the start, then he saw he was catching up and let of so the Polaris would win, other than that I like your vids man
Can am is best no matter what
Belts last alot longer they are made from better material not held together with super glue like polaris
Ive had plenty polaris and they dont compare to can am
But take it as you want
Can am will come out with something better than polaris
I had a outlander 1000xt but $1000 to get it serviced 3 times and $210 every 500 miles to get brakes put on it got old quick. the less than 10 inches of ground clearance sucked also when 11 was advertised and the clutches sucked, I smoked the belt with stock size all terrain tires! but it was fast lol.
If you are paying for regular maintenance and smoking belts and complaining about it, can am is not for you my friend...
I like that rzr turbo
Pretty well even
Maybe you should watch the video by ATV Israel. 2016 can am pulls on the poor little polaris
So then RZR XP TURBO IS THE BEST Driving machin!
The rzr looks like it was in 4wd look st the dirt it picks up from the front wheels
vroom vroom
I can tell the drivers were both inexperienced. a real driver would have gassed it 10FT, and then picked up that pretty young lady and took her trail riding for the day. better luck next time guys, but hey..... that 6ft victory is impressive ;). lol
Touché sir!
pretty and young??? wtf who were you looking at
Ball of sunshine you are!
polaris power!
+polaristraktori if you slow the vid all the way down you can see the rzr did a awd start
fakkkkkkkkkkkkkk Everytime rzr jump first 😬😬😬😱
Brand new engines needs few hours until they will bring max output
take them to the bumps!

The guy in the can am let off half way through
2WD drag race? Front wheels spinning and throwing roostertails at launch, best seen at 1:45
At the 1:45 mark is a 4wd drag race.
131 BASE TURBO MAV IS $5000 LESS THAN THE RZR AND SMOKES IT
Seriously RZR? A 23HP difference and you get maybe one length at best with what looked like a jumpy headstart by the RZR driver on every race? Not impressed. It'll be recalled for something as RZR is known for. The maverick is why you Rzr 1000's lovers have a better product. The rzr 800 and 900's of old gen were chincy
+bryan imes i agree it looks like the rzr got a better start. maybe switch drivers?
bryan imes You nailed it! couldn't be anymore correct
Polaris got the inside corner
RZR is awsome
turbo's hate water I am gonna rent one of the turbo razor and take it through hell and see what comes of it
Do it lol the mud/water is the real test. Not drag racing on dirt...
me gusta mas la chica
Are you kidding me, you couldn't use new tires?
The maverick 2016 has a lot more power
You should switch drivers, RZR driver takes off sooner
Wait, Wait, Wait! Did you say you took the new tires off so as not to mess up this NEW machine. Did you talk to your techs about this head to head shoot out before you did it. If these machines are NOT past their break in times this shoot out means NOTHING! I don't know about the RZR but I do know that the computer on the Can Am is in a break in mode and will not allow it to develop full power until AFTER it has enough run time on it. Oops - fail.
The rzr is in 4x4 for sure
Appreciate your assessment however this was truly unbiased and was done by a dealership that sells both units. They had nothing to gain or lose if either won the race.
Well i am not surprised...
***** considering it is a 15 can am vs 16 rzr no not surprised. They are alot closer in performance 16 v 16
Mike Panocatapolis Either way 2016 vs 2016, in the dunes that extra 13 hp does make a difference. But I'm sure once the 2016 xds comes out I'm sure both company's will be at it. Just wait right away they'll be at 200 hp lol!
...well that wasn't biased
I've drove both and the maverick has much better build quality the Polaris has the ugliest welds and it feels less responsive then the canam 100% can am is the beast of the wheelers
Can am spins more then the polaris.
they need to edit this better the first 250 ft drag race clip was in 4 wheel drive on the launch then they changed the camera angle and they were in 2 wheel drive the little things bug me hahahahah
No sir these were the exact same races. I assure you I've been doing multi-angle editing for a long time now.
+RZRsharpStudios have you watched it cuz at 1:19 that launch was a 4 wheel drive launch then the next camera angle of the launch was 2 wheel drive sir hahaha
+preston donohew I stand corrected. It appears the rushing to get this out I did in fact put the 4wd start. This was probably the most rushed and little time frame I had to get a video out. Thanks for the correction. Feel free to watch my other videos that were not rushed and what I feel are much better quality.
and all the Polaris are junk beside the scrambler the scrambler is the only bike with quality build everyone I know regrets buying there over priced pos Polaris canam for the win
the turbo add no benefit to the razor only winning by a car length. the turbo would not be worth the extra money
Who's the blonde?
those things brand new... $53.000.00
Can am is a joke. went poker rally with my 2012 rzr900Xp and my buddys 2013 Artic cat and his son in laws 2014 1000r maverick..guess what ? we had to look for jumper cables coz the Canam need a boost after we stopped for a beer. Radio was off lights wer off ..it just died...brand new machine for $35k. everyone at the rally was shaking their heads tsk tsk tsk. Can am all show no go!
clearly can am is better quality built.
Than the 2015
Nice vid. RzR all the way.
The can am is getting a late jump
The can am driver sucks he has no reaction time
get a 2016 can-am turbo against a 2016 rzr you nut bars lol.
+Adam Bryant Appreciate the wise and studious words...
why not compare a 16 maverick with a 16 rzr. the 15 maverick has less power. horrible comparison. " lets race this 97 z50 against this new 2017 crf 50."
what the hell lol the maverick would have won but the rzr was stalling up at the line and the maverick wasn't so bad they actually both been spooling up at the line then the rzr would have lost I beat them all the time including the junk Yamaha
