Can The 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R 4 Tackle Our Snowy Off-Road Course Without Getting Stuck? 

Just remember TFL, if you under 20mph on average keep it in low. Told by a Polaris tech to save belts.

When in doubt throttle out. I felt like I was watching somebody drive a side-by-side for the first time ever. Barely getting on the gas while uphill in high range is a great way to ruin a $200 belt.

You should always run belt driven atvs/side by sides in low range under 25 mph, it saves the belt puts a lot less strain on it

Side by side, full Independent suspension.. is the best offroad vehicle

Fun video guys! Thanks for braving the cold mud for us.

Bone stock? Sherp. Rokon 2x2. Razor. Defender 90. LC80. Unimog. Paramount Marauder. Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6. Oshkosh L-ATV. BMY M923A2 5-Ton 6x6. There are more, but that is a start. So, thanks for showing this Polaris out on your ranch in the snow. Albeit, I had imagined it blasting around on the open pasture as it was designed for, as opposed to slow and technical maneuvers, which it showed the belts smoking. Meaning, that is not where it is happiest. lol

Really the only reason to crawl in a 4x4 rig versus an ATV is for AC and heat (and you can drive them to the trailhead rather than have to tow an ATV). Otherwise these ATVs absolutely dominate.

Great video guys..watching it from New Hampshire... but brings back old memories of living in Colorado.

I would have thought that by now, you'd understand momentum and wheel speed. A stock 800s could do better with the right driver.

Never ever climb a hill, especially from a standstill in high range with a belt-driven CVT. That is the best way to cook/grenade the belt and glaze the sheaves.

Watching you try and go up that in high range was cringe worthy. That poor belt is basically done now, flat spotted.

Take a look at Honda pioneer 500/520. Budget SxS for the average.

Love the videos guys, thanks for all the work and edits that go in to them!

i want to see the unimog do the course in the snow

A Volkswagen Toureg might be the vehicle that you are looking for to make it through bone stock!😊

Cooked that belt in 4H dude.

👏👏👏 THANK YOU FOR TAKING US THROUGH THE COURSE IN THE SNOW ... WAY COOL .... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️

You guys should do a collab video with the Off Camber Industries guys. The Pro R is worth every dollar

It would be good to show someone going through the course with a full size equipped with chains to show what a difference a good set of chains will do.

TRACTION is the name of the game!

Lots of HP from a 2 litre. I am surprised it has a cvt. I think shaft drive would be much better. Price is way crazy. $42k US is the about $50k CAD which is what i paid for my 20 Tundra.

Mmmmmm, BBQ cvt belt

Try any of the Can Am Maverick Max X3's like the XMR Turbo RR with mud tires and better power to weight ratio!!

"We've closed the course to the public, we're not having anyone come out and film videos on it right now." Hmm, didn't know that was a thing.

Nice. 2023 is gonna be awesome!

Always wanna use low range for this kind of driving

Get that sweet machine a good oil change very soon! Prob a $25k off rd toy!? 💯👍🏻👍🏻

Put some tracks on it and test those!

Maxx 6x6, Largo 6x6 & 8x8, and Land tamer 6x6 & 8x8 will go places, especially with tracks on them, will go places that side-by-sides won't go.

Lol. Long time RZR owner here. You're going to want to be in 4 wheel drive all the time. We only use 2 wheel drive if the front differential goes or you want to do donuts. If you are going slower then 15 MPH its better for the belt to stay in low especially if you're crawling up a hill. If you don't, you're going to smoke that belt.

For 42 grand it had better go absolutely everywhere! Just unreal prices for SxS's now

never getting up a hill with zero speed especially in the snow

My canam commander xt1000 has tracks which allow me to go over nearly any weather condition.i use it to plow snow.

Gotta be in low range when your driving slow in those machines especially going slow uphills or you will cook the belt.

Should you air down alot for grip ?? It works in sand

1997 cc? Wow!

How about Doing A Video on the Transit Trail

I think there was something wrong with that RZR before you did the hill. You can hear it not acting right when he was stabbing the throttle in a few shots before the hill

I know the machine parked on the bank above that mud hole was makin me nervous

Put in low.....how do you not know that and your show is called "TFL OFFROAD"?

Thought they had a stop drive on these things? Clutch plate exploding or something like that?

Is that the stock exhaust ? It sounds and idles so smooth. My pro r sounds like it has a cam and sounds more grunty

Why did smoke come from front when belt is behind rear seat?

I WANT ONE !!!!!

Would love a manual transmission on this.

Jeeze I didn’t know Colorado was 5397 miles above sea level. 😅 3:13 was the mistake lol

No way the slope is 34 degrees. There's snow on it.

Excellent video, please do more of these. I love SxS's and can't wait to own my very first. Thanks guys.

I Can't believe that belt burnt so easy. Poor design with a cvt.

Seems a fragile system if the belts smoke that easy. For 42K I'd want something better than that.

Pretty yough to do much of anything hard once you burn the belt in High on a crawl spot. Use low!

The engine noise is beyond annoying like on most of these sidebysides.

CVT's suck for small steep hills!!!

Those things are overpriced pieces of crap 💩. It’s gonna be another $40k in repairs and maintenance..

Seems like Honda and others are way behind on the tech side.

Numero uno!!!!

I don't know how the sledders handle suspension between temperature compensation with oil.

Are these things street legal? Could I drive it to the trail or do I gotta tow it?

Great job guys.

That was painful to watch. Feel bad for the machine.

If you knew what you were doing, you would’ve made it 🤦🏽‍♂️

A Kawasaki Mule is what I would like to buy.

I can tell he's not very good at driving in the snow!🤣

3” of snow doesn’t impress me

That smoke from the belt (regardless if should have been in low) just reaffirms that Honda’s DCT is superior.

$42,000. Hard NO.

The only SxS that I'd buy for slow speed technical off-roading is a Honda with a real transmission and geared (vs belted) drive. I off-road quite a bit (in probably the best kept secret vehicle - Roxor, turbo diesel manual) in slippery winter conditions (Canada) and get passed by Can-Am, Polaris etc belted POSs, only to have to tow them out when the driving gets slow in technical areas due to broken/burnt out belts and CVTs. My Polaris dealer acquaintance makes a fortune repairing them...

Africa Twin would probably make it through there bone stock, so would most motocross motorcycles... bone stock.

Always love annoying people by taking side by sides on snowmobile trails at night in the Maine woods

seriously, what's the point of this review? Taking a 225 hp side-by-side with 28 inches of travel on this ridiculously slow snow covered tight course.

Sherpa, bone stock.😄😄

This is so hard to watch. How Polaris gives these clowns a 42k machine to test is just behind me.

1st world problems....

Bronco Raptor or Wrangler 392 Rubicon would make the whole course, aired down

low range!!!!!

Don’t really understand the point of this video but ok

more agressive

This video was hard to watch, clearly the driver is not an experienced sxs driver and it shows.

Most horrendous side x side driving I have ever witnessed.

Was yawl really trying to climb a steep hill super slow in high? Yawl ain't riders let someone who rides show u how to do it

He is not a very good driver.

16:50-17:14 Come on guys. That was hella cap! You spent way more than that for your Bronco that is way less capable! This just showcases what I keep writing all over the internet, and that is this: Stop buying these hella expensive road vehicles (aka Bronco's, Jeep Wranglers, F150 Raptors, etc.) to off-road in. A RZR that is cheaper, will off-road way better, in basically any off-road condition! All you spending $70k+ on your above mentioned vehicles, literally just for clout on a paved road, to not even come close to the capabilities of a RZR Turbo S, Turbo R, or Pro R, are idiots lol. All of that "marketing" on those vehicles, making you thin you're buying this crazy capable off-road machine...don't get me wrong, they are capable, but they are VERY expensive, and still not even close to as capable as the above mentioned RZR's (even the CanAm's and other UTV's). "But I can drive my Bronco, Raptor, Wrangler, etc. on the road, and have a/c while doing it" blah, blah, blah. Well guess what, when you crash that crap, have an engine issue, or even get a flat tire off-roading, how are you getting home? That's your only vehicle that you are also using as your toy in hard terrain. Long story short, if you are planning on spending money to off-road, just buy a UTV, and then use the extra money on a vehicle to tow it. If you are using one vehicle as your daily and off-roader, don't pick these crazy priced vehicles, and instead, buy something cheap that you can afford to not care about if it gets scratched or whatever. When you are driving down the road in your $100k+ Raptor, or $70k+ Bronco or Wrangler, trust me, NOBODY CARES! Don't sacrifice a massive monthly payment thinking people care, especially when you will get dusted on any trail by a $40k RZR.

Horrible drivers

Paddle tires..similar to snow paddles & twice as wide will work just fine...too much weight, zero traction, too little tire surface area. You need to bust ass, you just can't pussy-foot around if you want to get somewhere!

My 16 year old daughter would have drove that thing better.. so disappointing in a review

S2k AP1 numbers 23 years later. I guarantee far more could be done. Impressive power for a heavy go kart, not for a 2L engine.

Prob could have made that climb if you gave her the beans! 🫘
