One of the only categories in sporting vehicles that is actually growing is the UTV, better known as the side-by-side. This segment has a few key players but is dominated by Polaris' RZR (Razor) line. Well, this year, there's an all-new RZR XP designed to be the best, most versatile RZR ever. Polaris invited Matt and Zack to the woods of Tennessee to see what all the fuss is about, and if, at just under $25,000, the new RZR XP is the most fun you can have on four wheels.
Polaris provided travel, lodging, meals, the vehicle, the vehicle and fuel for this review.

I am a proffesional driving tecnjoque trainer who have worked in the top level of the WRC. I use exactly this type of UTV for training drivers. On the suspension it moves very similar to an R5/Rallye2/WRC rally car, and as Zack pointed out, weight transfer is very similar. Thanks for the great review (btw: basically all top rally drivers in the WRC have a UTV.)

@Snarge22 Год назад

For those who can license UTVs, the result is more flexibility for general use. I've seen UTVs at grocery stores and other common daily travel chores. I myself chose to pass on a UTV and got an ATV instead, a Can-Am Outlander 850 Max version. The "Max" is a tandem 2-Seater version with a longer wheelbase and dedicated second seat. I wanted less of a car/truck experience and more of a riding on top of it (kind of) motorcycle experience. Also note, there are some trails that are restricted to 50" wide (their is usually a narrow gate to get through) so that restricts all but the narrowest of UTVs.

@snakes1992 Год назад

Now I want to see you guys in the 225hp Pro R with 29” of active suspension!

@ryanehoward Год назад

Another excellently produced video. I totally get the appeal of these. They're a bit dangerous, a bit cheap, and looks to be a ton of fun. I then think about how I could actually make one work. I would have to buy a truck and trailer it to an ORV that's a couple of hours away. A sports car then seems a lot cheaper and easier to use. It was definitely fun to look at an alternative and see what other options there are. Hopefully you guys are invited on other press events for other non-car vehicles. Also, between this and the truly fantastic Porsche Dakar video you have the beginnings of an off-road channel.

As someone who has been to many off road parks in a jeep, including Windrock, I can confirm these are taking over the off road world - almost completely. As a jeeper I feel a little us vs. them about that, but I can't ignore how capable they are and how much fun they look. Great video. Ps, also listen to the podcast and am going to watch this twice to try and help the numbers. Thanks for trying new things.

Awesome review Matt and Zack! Really makes me want to give them a try!

@stevenh766 Год назад

Unfortunately, a huge proportion of UTV drivers think driving one gives them license to do whatever they want and destroy trails, surrounding area, and have no regard for other trail users safety... thankfully they're getting banned from public roads all over the place. Matt summed it up perfectly when saying there aren't any speed limits and you can take trails at 25mph... There may not be a written speed limit, but there are common sense limits around blind corners, to keep the dust to a minimum near other trail users, to 'tread lightly' etc. Love your videos, but this is really poorly done and reinforcing the poor behavior the users of these think they're entitled. to.

@averyhuelsbeck3116 Год назад

@@user-mo8tm4jw2l In general, I have had great experiences with the traditional off-road community and those issues are generally with tourist renting jeeps who have no trail experience.

@user-mo8tm4jw2l Год назад

Hurting people too. Head ons. Them flipping and getting crushed under that sun shade they think is a roll cage. These things are the bane of the off-road industry. We used to complain about quads tearin up trails and gettin places shut down. They had little to no effect compared to these weekend warriors in SxS. Smh.

@---l--- Год назад

That comes down to educating new enthusiasts. If we want the areas to stay open without a new round or rules and regulations. Tell each other to TREAD LIGHTLY. keep it legal, safe, better than you found it. And Everybody, Stay. On. The. Damn. Trail. Tread Lightly did yeoman's work before keeping trails open. And trust me. Old 4x4 were getting logging roads shut down in the PNW decades before these existed. Illegal dumping, drunk driving, wildfires all sped that up.

@user-mo8tm4jw2l Год назад

@@---l--- you ever try and tell 4 people in a side by side who are drinking and have an attitude of entitlement the size of Texas to tread lightly? 😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️ trust me when I tell you that isn’t working or going well for you unless you have more people than them. The Tread lightly campaign never did anything other than waste paper. Meanwhile the blm continues to close areas over the stupidest things. Giving them another thing to zero in on is a terrible idea. Silly people have been getting areas shut down for decades. The monetary barrier to access and entry into these sports for them has just been removed now is all and we are seeing the consequence of it.
