I have a 21 pro xp sport. Drive the life off of it! Zero issues, 2700kms. Always ride hard. I think you got a lemon. I can sense it. Vtwin turba powa for life man. Enjoy, I ride mid northern forest trails. Give me a shout if you’re heading up this way
Rented can ams in the heat and desert sand with little maintenance. They were able to take a beating. I wanted the RZR Pro loaded for 32k but the sales guy and added pricing turned me down. 23k out the door for the base x3 and I've been grinning since. 350 miles and my girl loves the way it looks in comparison.
Can Am for the win for me . I’ve owned two Polaris units and since the early to late 90s they’ve just had garbage engineering for my tastes . To much let the public do the R&D see what tears up constantly then change it eventually. I used to really take pride in Polaris but eventually enoughs enough. BUT that’s just for me . Your 2023 base 135 has the PDrive primary clutch that quietened them ALOT, and are far smoother than the old QRS clutch . I have a base DS 120 2022 model X3 and have vids on my channel about the PDrive and where I installed it on my 22. I think Can Am was sandbagging the power on even the 2022s, Whalen dyno’d them and was getting around 130-135ish at the wheels lol. I’m glad I have a 22 honestly , I can do a simple Whalen 160 tune only , tune and put 160hp to the rear wheels , zero parts added. 1700-1800$ 205hp to the wheels . I’m at about 1275-1300 miles so far zero issues whatsoever. Glad to see a fellow rider having a blast , i split time with it and my ATVs.
Love what they did with the 23 x3. That 135hp is a nice touch and youre right the power band is different but I feel the can am is a little more fun and rowdy. Reliability is nice too for most can ams I've seen them get ridden hard and put away wet on the daily
