The fact that you guys swapped and also have different machines is great. It's very informative. I still think people adjust to what they buy more than they buy exactly what they want. Does that adjustment become too limiting? Or as skill replaces fear you long for more.. or it's all puffed ego, see that all the time. You own the best most expensive machine on the trail, yet you drive like you are yet to take the training wheels off.
Nicely done Joe. I think if you guys were able to do all your comparisons at Sand Hollow you would have come away even more impressed with the KRX suspension and, I think you would have found that it actually has more than enough power for that terrain, which it was designed to excel in. I know there are those who always want more power to go faster and jump further, but that isn't what this machine is all about. She is a big, heavy beast for sure, but honestly I think it's the best trail riding/rock crawling machine on the market right now. Keep up the great work guys.
I love these krx's and I don't even have one. I've been a Yamaha fanboy for years because of their performance and reliability, but I'm digging this krx
Great review , my one main complaint is also how much mud I wear in the cabin compared to my teryx 4 le. But I love the wheel visibility, cabin noise is much quieter than my older teryx
Good job on the video, The Seat angle was my first modify, super easy with a little wedge and different bolt lengths. Just installed Aj's sxs accessories mud flaps and frog skin covers, Great product. Keep up the good work guys.
You guys are knocking it out with the real world reviews swapping vehicles. Being local to Arizona this is very helpful to me since I'm still narrowing my list. My biggest concern is the weight of the KRX and being street legal in Arizona, which leads to questions best directed at Garrett. What does it take to register an 1800 plus pound side by side in Arizona and have you done it? Emissions? Is it considered a passenger vehicle? I'm really good at digging this kind of stuff up but it's turned into a big rabbit hole. Not looking to drive on the street a lot, just want to be legal on horizontally marked trails with registration and insurance. Thanks guys.
So I do have the KRX but actually live in Utah. We have no requirements besides blinkers, horn and the mirrors to become street legal. Joe lives in Arizona and his Talon I believe has the weight issue. Hopefully he will chime in soon. 👍 -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad Thank you Garrett. I really like what the KRX brings to the table. Kind of look at it like a sportier version of the Polaris General.
Dude. Love the video. Super easy to follow coming from if someone with little knowledge. Would be awesome to cut in and out to the actual drive when your talking about climbing up and down or visuals of the front wheel POV when climbing from the driver seat. It would help me with my purchase. Keep it up guys!
And those big vents stop so much viewing angle for folks that aren't 6'4", for us 5'10" people the front cab view isn't great to begin with, and that windshield exacerbates to a completely unacceptable view. Overall it's a great platform, but has it's major flaws as well.
My same complaint is the dead pedal also......I'm 6.1..... and I wish I could push my seat back just a notch or 2 further back hopping someone comes out with an aftermarket slider
@@DerangedOffRoad yeah man I'm coming out of a yxz1000r and it had leg room for days......but I think it's a pretty comfortable ride minus the dead pedal
Severely caught in between the Talon or the krx. Rode the krx and coming from can am and polaris, I am not used to that boggy take off but we shall see how the Talon feels
Just watched this one again - great stuff! Now that you guys had your machines for some time and have done a bunch of mods, I wonder what you would say now? It would be great if you guys would switch up machines, ride for an hour on each different machine then: 3 guys, 3 machines, 3 short opinions on each.
Great review. I'm 6'7" and that dead pedal looks like it would be a deal breaker for me. I do love the look of the KRX, especially in the green. I barely fit in my X3 with the seat all the way in the down position both front and back. I think RZR has better seating positions for tall men (more leg room and the wheel tilts up further imo). Honestly I would love to see more machines with larger wheel tilt options for the tall crowd ;-)
Great job Joe! Whoopi! 🤣🤣 I love how much cargo space the KRX has behind the seats and in the bed. I don’t love the steering wheel and I don’t know of a hub to adapt aftermarket wheels yet. Low gear is LOW and you can fit 35” tires for those that want to crawl seriously. I saw a Kentucky dealer advertising the KRX for $13,894! How can you go wrong?! RokBlokz will have a mug flap kit soon and the Kawasaki wide fenders are really nice, just $$$. I agree with the seating opinion,but know that can be easily changed. If we didn’t really want a 4 seat car the KRX would be in our garage. 👍👍😎
Correct, I have been dying to get my KRX back. Our videos are to show that everyone has their own preference on what they like. We are trying to bring that out in a way to help people make that decision when trying to choose. 👍-Garrett
Honda trans still break, and when they do it's a long drag back to camp. I can change a belt in 20 minutes, can't split a case and change a clutch out there.
