No winch at this prince point should be a crime.

@Idahoprepper71 22 дня назад

That engine has some serious potential for aftermarket upgrades.

@pajamatime5750 22 дня назад

Hands down the best review of the Ridge so far! Wouldn’t expect anything less from you guys. Thanks! Luke pointed out a lot of things about the Ridge I haven’t heard before. Hopefully they solve / refine some of these issues then make it a 4-seater!!!!

@dirttraxtv 21 день назад

Appreciate that!!

Not bad for a first draft of this model. they could add 2 or 3" to that box length and keep the pivot point where it is to help with the load dumping aspect. Maybe next year they will address some of the cab noise issues. And for $40k CDN, they can put a winch on for you.

@JamesBond-kv6sw 21 день назад

A very honest review of this unit. It’s a great 1st step at what is essentially a hybrid between a General and a Ranger. Hopefully other brands follow.

@markflaugh2293 22 дня назад

This seems like being close to a really good machine. Should have a winch, rear & front lockers and some kind of navigation screen. If you are spending this kind of money you want all of that stuff. Seems like the accountants came in at the end and said cut this & that to meet a price point. I think for the extra people would have bought it because they didn’t have to add anything else. Head scratcher to me.

@tyler87kelley 20 дней назад

I cant believe for being a sport utility they did not put reverse lights on it... also make an xr ridge limited with all the goodies fox shocks, stereo, navigation and winch. You know kinda like a r max limited .

OMG. I felt so bad for you guys! The bugs were eating you alive. I live in Bancroft so I know😂

@adampetten1009 22 дня назад

Love the bucket seats, 118hp, full cab, NO Sway bar, center console, square tire... please no sway bar (or rear only). Cab noise is unacceptable in an enclosed SxS end of story. the Expedition at 35% more than my Commander XTP is much louder and its absurd to pay that money and not be able to easily talk to passengers on open trails.

@jelias999 20 дней назад

I've seen more of them expeditions everyday alot of people like them. Personally I like sportier machines I like to ride and hear the engine, but that's just me. My boss has the new xd1500 and that is a very quiet machine inside with that 3 cylinder engine.

@adampetten1009 20 дней назад

@jelias999 yes Ranger is great, but it's very heavy. Not sporty or very mud friendly. Also there's a difference in nice motor noise and annoying drone and rattle. X3 or pro r is a great soundtrack with nice exhaust. Even those too loud gets old quick on a longer ride

@jelias999 20 дней назад

@@adampetten1009 I'm not disagreeing my boss rides his on back roads dirt roads and takes it on long journeys but most of that isn't ridiculously rough terrain. He's all about the quiet cab and that machine is extremely quiet inside I was impressed. Id like to see the expedition like that but i personally can't justify spending that much on a sxs either way. I have a 24xp and it's definitely loud inside (same motor as the expedition), it bothered me at 1st but now I guess I'm just used to it.

@jakemccann2790 22 дня назад

They forgot to arch the A arms

@pajamatime5750 22 дня назад

First thing I said when I saw the Ridge release. No new sxs should come without em these days!!!

@craigr6763 21 день назад

I wish more manufacture’s would find a way to quiet them done a bit that harmonic sound you were talking of gives my wife migraines. Or go to more transmission machines that cut down on cvt noise

@kevinfryer380 21 день назад

Great review. Thank you for your honesty

@mikemiller9346 22 дня назад

Awesome review man. 👍

@dirttraxtv 22 дня назад

Thank you!!

@lloydmarche7263 22 дня назад

Nice review. I was wondering about that machine. The next point is serviceability . Haven’t really looked into it yet. It has to be better than my old can am commander . 😅

@samthesham6854 22 дня назад

@17:22 the camera person is doing the PP dance.

@allencalahan107 22 дня назад

Why compare the sealed cab to the General or Commander ? Seams This is built to compete against the Ranger or Defender

@dirttraxtv 21 день назад

I actually agree with you. This one is debated around our office quite a bit.

@biged420 21 день назад

Thank you for showing top speed, it’s need to know info for a lot of us that ride on roads and have to keep up with traffic

@mikepaulson6154 21 день назад

Great review!! I am glad i purchased a Defender limited.

@andysmith5220 18 дней назад

I think reasoning for 4 banger is they are planning on upgraded power of turbo or supercharged.

@grunfieldf8694 22 дня назад

Steel inter fenders, glass all round,large tires ,and AC. No wonder they added extra hp, it needs it to pull the extra weight. Just say'n 😊

@Idahoprepper71 22 дня назад

That parking brake reminds me of the 80’s Toyota pickup

@nbatvforum 21 день назад

You can really see the gap in upper door when you talk about the power windows. It's 1st time anyone mentions that. They have to do better for the price. Great detailed video, it was awesome

@dirttraxtv 19 дней назад

Appreciate that!

@jackhammer2671 20 дней назад

Agree great review...The way this thing revs it's going to eat belts like crazy IMO...everything else looks wise inside and out the best out there by far...like I said my concern is belt wear and of course the $53,000 CDN price tag is outrageous.

@TwoSmoker420 21 день назад

when's the SXS market going to make an "extended" cab side by side? for more cab room/seat adjustability, imagine being able to recline in a side by side? Would create room for more storage behind the seats. which would allow for more leg room, would be a sweet spot for a gun case mount and/or subwoofer...

@TwoSmoker420 19 дней назад

Would open up the customizability a bit with the room to add better /different style of seats as well

@drakeslocum2564 18 дней назад

This is a great idea!

@russellstroup3014 13 дней назад

Artic Cat/Textron did, Stampede and Havoc.

@randyabishop9477 9 дней назад

The low gears & high rpm's is a deal breaker, been trying to find a good review about it, thanks! Will stick with Polaris, plus the Polaris takes up less space in garage.

@lincolnglum3473 22 дня назад

The Ridge is definitely an eye catcher. I was wondering if you guys have done a segment on helmets, and if not, any suggestions or recommendations?

@dirttraxtv 21 день назад

We are wearing Leatt helmets this season. Nice lid, really comfortable and light. We prefer moto style lids, but any DOT head protection is a good start.

@terryveneau1591 22 дня назад

Does the annoying sound you hear in the cab sound like chains raddling or like a bunch of washers?? We heard that sound and it was very annoying the whole ride. The seat sound that you said solved with foam? thanks!!

@richardgallant3371 20 дней назад

Nice review Luke . With this engine and high rev is this Ridge XR hard on gas ?

@dirttraxtv 19 дней назад

Something we will keep an eye on.

@98KingQuad 22 дня назад

How’s the sound levels in the cab while cruising?

@dirttraxtv 22 дня назад

I would say it is louder than you would expect it to be. We look forward to trying out an open air model to see the difference.

@GetlostwithKenny 22 дня назад

They are much quieter inside than the polaris ranger or expedition by a good amount. Still not vehicle quiet though

@wasupfool5692 22 дня назад

@GetlostwithKenny it's noisier than the Can Am Defender by quite a bit.

@nortonashburn5677 19 дней назад

does it have engine braking?

@concealit4800 10 дней назад

Maybe Polaris will see the performance gap between their general and up the ante

@lawrencewilliamson3303 20 дней назад

I don’t think a touch screen would make sense , usually wearing gloves and would drive me mad if it got all scratched up

@johngarrett4622 17 дней назад

Are you guys sure the xr can be upgraded to the garmin tread? My understanding is only the limited model has the garmin tread system.

@dirttraxtv 15 дней назад

Now you've got me wondering. Will confirm...

@WeGotJamWellness 16 дней назад

I may have missed it but does this have a backup camera?

@dirttraxtv 15 дней назад

Can't remember off the top of my head. Will confirm...

@Loganallen90 22 дня назад

Can you confirm on if Kawasaki is sending dealers fixes for the heater core bypass to eliminate heat issues in the cab?

@dirttraxtv 22 дня назад

Can't confirm at this moment but something we can look into. Stay tuned!

@ryanmartin7394 19 дней назад

To the people complaining about noise, need to realize these are OFF ROAD vehicles not Cadillac’s. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@bradybashon3941 19 дней назад

Agreed😂

@dirttraxtv 19 дней назад

Agree to a degree. With a significant sticker prices and the full cab enclosure, there are expectations that the noise inside the cab will be less than it is. My feeling is this will be the next thing all manufacturers work on.

@GeneralBadLuck 6 дней назад

how good does the ac work, the hvac in my defender is embarrassing

@dirttraxtv 5 дней назад

It is decent enough. Haven't tested it out in really disgustingly hot weather, but it definitely is nicer than not having it.

@asilaydying1984 19 дней назад

Rmax , general and commander all have far better suspension setups , ridge is like a ranger or defender

@dirttraxtv 19 дней назад

Yes.

@SouthFLMudClub 11 дней назад

The 4cyl was put in cause it is a much quieter engine. Btw please stop referring to the engine as a motor. Electric=motor combustion=engine

@MrTjulius 22 дня назад

It's like Kawasaki didn't know what they wanted the ridge to be. More sport or utility? Went with a sporty engine in a utility biased chassis. I used to ride nothing but Kawasaki bikes and am waiting for a 250+HP krx without a belt drive.

@dirttraxtv 22 дня назад

Well said 🙌

@garybrown9062 22 дня назад

Is it just me or should a top of the line SXS that comes in at $40k in 🇨🇦 before taxes and dealer fees be equipped with a factory winch? Also the non XR bring 3 wheel drive is unforgivable. Great review but Kawi being last in the game should have gotten it more right. I’m old and can afford the right HVAC SXS. Sadly this isn’t it. Maybe CFMoto will get it done for less. Great review.

@MrTjulius 22 дня назад

@@dirttraxtv for me it's so much like Yamaha in the snowmobile industry. Had all the technology available to compete with any Doo or Polaris. Yamaha and kawi have everything available to compete with anything made by anyone and dominate and they just stay status quo. Nice machine's but nothing industry leading except maybe the 4 cylinder in the ridge.

@jelias999 20 дней назад

I think everyone is wanting the krx with more power, very nice machine but definitely needs more power.

@evancox9720 5 дней назад

This is a great in depth review, but honestly the camera work was really bad. The constant swaying and poor side camera angles didn’t let us see the interior that you were talking about clearly.

It's just another sxs that's too loud to ride. I'd probably have a sxs by now but find them all too noisy from the drivers seat.

After owning one Kawasaki mule pro FXR a 2023 model and mule pro mx a 2022 model I will never own a product that has the name Kawasaki on it again nothing but issues with them . And also with my piss poor Kawasaki dealer in Mount Vernon Ohio . I bought a Can-Am defender it has been a phenomenal machine

@nickridesbikes. 21 день назад

Interesting.. I rarely hear anything negative about the Mule

@petewilson8727 20 дней назад

@@nickridesbikes. The FXR I was driving down the road The back wheels locked up and the transmission was leaking oil my dealer would not covered under warranty and I had a couple other issues with us seen unit but when I treated it my local Can-Am dealer sent that machine to a different dealer and they told me the different dealer did cover it under warranty . In the MX unit had a lot of issues with fuel filters and they put a fuel pump in it and that same unit would keep dying at idle and other issues going on with that unit as well but when I got to k&m defender it just seems like the Cana I'm just running so much easier smoother and haven't had any issues with it at this time and I do not mud run with those I use them on a farm for spray and hauling a lot of stuff . So yes Kawasaki makes me very upset a company is only as good as it's warranty and their dealers
