Hmm. I'd put the General at the back of the pack, even considering how new the Commander and Rmax are. Polaris quality, fit and finish just don't measure up in my opinion.
Nice job. Great comparison!!!! Thx
We decided to go with the 2021 General XP 4 1000 in military tan. After the first rides in the general we would make that decision 1000 times over! Also the shorter wheel base is the only way to fit in our 16ft cargo camper conversion.
I kind of started looking at the commander xtp at first because of price difference, but when you start adding in the things the General comes with such as stereo and what not, they start becoming closer in price.
Just got my 2022 XP4 Deluxe Ride Command Edition. Yes the shocks have adjustment knobs. Comments below of fit and finish on Polaris are ridiculous. Please be specific, where and what isn't fitting. 99% of belt issues is not breaking them in properly. I'll come back after I get past the 25 hour mark. Good review bud.
Thanks for watching 👍
Chris, never understood the fit and finish complaint either. My 2018 G2 Ride command interior, panels etc are all perfect. I have over 2k miles on unforgiving, hard rock mountainous terrain of the eastern Cascades. No rattles or anything. Only issue I've had is a shredded stock belt at 1600 miles that I smoked in the dunes. My fault.
245 miles in. Braking it like I spent 30k plus dollars and the general is a great rig. I'll be changing the oil this coming weekend and inspecting the drive train fluids for levels. The belt and take offs are smooth. I'm still limiting the rpms, I have briefly taken it to 8k rpms 5 times from running at 5-7k. Never punched it out yet from a standing start and really I have no reason to youtube drag race this machine. But I will be hitting the trails with it for bear hunting and exploring so stay tuned.
I totally agree I got 2022 general xp 4 deluxe. Brake in on the belt is crucial. I'm 6' 3and can cut in the back with no problems. Love the suspension on it. Also aftermarket for polaris is hands down better and less confusing than the Can-Am. Not bashing can am. Just pointy out some details. The bed holds more the 600. I know I tested 700. Did not like do it but it held. Also the shorter wheel base much easier to get around tight area's and rocking.
The Generals seem to have better build quality. Not sure why. We looked at Polaris Pro XPs and my wife barely touched the headlight and it almost fell out. All the panels had large( over and inch) gap between the outside plastic where it wraps over to the inside dash area. But when we looked at the general, it didn’t really appear to have that issue.
I have the zforce 950 , was very unsure when i bought it but after 1700 miles , still on same brake pads , never slipped or smoked a belt , no axles or bearings issues , I am running 30 inch carnavores , its been a beast , way more repliabe than can cam am or polaris i have owned. After i installed a box on the back, it looks good now,
I definitely see more good than bad for CF Moto. I’m sure it’s a capable rig, the design is just too out there for me. Glad you’ve had good luck! -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad I didn’t care a hole lot either but after I added factory accessories box on the box , lower door inserts and 30 inch carnivores, it’s a completely different machine now .
It would be nice to compare the interiors and comfort.
Force turbo has a kit with dyno jet controller for the commander
I don't care much for the looks of the commander, I like the generals looks best of any sxs, yamaha rmax next in the looks, from what I've seen in youtube vids, seems like the rmax is fastest of the 3 but I'd bet any of the 3 would be great machines and I be happy with either of the 3 ,in the 4 seaters, I'd much rather have the yamaha for the shorter wheel base.
Those towing number are more for liability not the limitations of the machines.
Any difference in maintenance cost?
General is the most comfortable ride out there
I was heavy on the commander max xtp. I’ve been doing more research on the talon 4 and I think it’s the best value in 4 seaters
As long as you don’t want to carry anything along maybe. Talon is sport and this is a sport/utility comparison.
@@westernslopermax216 lol yes I know it is. I’m saying for a 4 seater regardless of sport or sport utility it seems like the best family hauler. Of these two it would be commander all day. 2 seater sport utility then it’s the rmax
Generals shocks are all fully adjustable
Big thing you didn't cover, seating position. And ultimately this is what I'm waiting on to call a winner.
Commander seating position is very comfortable. Slightly more reclined than the General, but nothing like an X3. In the four seat versions the commander has more leg room for passengers.
Cab space in the general is bigger as in more shoulder room between passengers.
Another thought is the general seems so unreliable. Lots of blown diffs from turf mode and belt slap issues. Not to mention the xp is so damn expensive. My dealer quoted me 25k for a damn 2 seater
Actually since the change from planetary to spider gears for the turf mode assembly in '19, it's been a non issue, and since the XP came out in '20 and has never had the old style it's a disingenuous assumption.
Yea the generals suspension is adjustable on fly
4 seater is a school bus wow
Looking for a real world comparison, I can pull up spec sheets all day long, doesn't put me in the seat of either.
Then I guess you need to find a way to drive both
Next could you do a taste test of two products without actually tasting them.
Hi i am looking to buy 2 seater sxs i dont have much experience abt sxs what would be your recommendation between kawasaki KRX, can am comander, yamha RMX as reliability, value and styling i wana stay away from polaris... my budget between 17k to 20k.. thanks
What kind of riding do you plan on doing most? -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad mostly trail riding sometimes sand....
Man that’s a tough one because they all do pretty well in the trails. The KRX will probably be the best suspension off the dealer floor and the Can Am is a great new rig with awesome functionality because of its bed. Over all if its trail riding and a little sand probably the KRX is the first choice. -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad thanks...
With a $20k budget you can't buy a new one and good luck finding anything. I just bought an XTP Commander and had to go 500 miles out. Good luck!
I really like the Commander, but the ride command on the General would push me to buy the General. It's an amazing feature.
Garmin makes a TREAD GPS w/ VHF radio for under $800. and if you add the switch box you can monitor your dynamics and control all your accessories from the screen AND you can move it from other vehicles and track 20 other vehicles on your screen
commander xmr over either one if i were looking for another utility dump box machine.
I own a 2021 General XP RC and I'm selling it to purchase the Canam commander. Both are 4 seaters. My father owns the Canam and after trail riding rock climbing and snow I felt the Canam was a better machine. More comfortable, more confidence, and I believe a better ride.
The main points on why I like the Canam better is:
1. Seating position is more comfortable for me, I'm 200lbs at 5'10 and I felt the Canam was better for me. (I don't need the extra space) If I was larger/taller the Canam wouldn't work.
2. The Canam is Faster
3. The Canam has better Low-end with the trail mode, easier to navigate rocks with a less jumpy pedal.
Things I don't like about the Canam.
1. It needs mirrors, the dang thing is long.
2. Not sure why it doesn't have a radio, as it should.
Things that didn't matter to me:
1. Ride Command, I don't ride with anybody that uses it. Frankly I use Onx anyways, so I will be getting a tablet and mount.
R max we love our we been riding hard it just gets better
Yamaha rmax , better fit n finish and clutching hands down
I’d buy the Yamaha R-Max.
Big surprise 😂😂
If we’re talking to seaters I’d probably lean that way as well. For the four seater, I don’t think the benefits of the short wheelbase outweigh the cons of those backseats. -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad Lol
@@DerangedOffRoad short wheelbase in the tight woods of the upper Midwest is a huge binus
No one cares
Why did you not add Yamaha Rmax to the comparison?
Pretty well is equal to, or beats both these machines on HP, travel, towing, and ground clearance numbers depending on the 2 or 4 seat model.
Not to mention quality and reliability!
They all have their own pros and cons of course but Polaris forever claims class leading and it’s as big a lie and joke as Biden saying the Afghanistan withdrawal was a success!
I have the RMax and you are correct, they literally are class leading in all categories PLUS better belt design and a 10 year belt warranty. If you enroll into yamalube program (free) you have a 100k warranty on engine as well for failures.
and is thousands of dollars more! Should be better for more money
Bro don’t beat on ppl for owning a zforce can you afford one?
Rmax is king of that class
Can am
Blew the general out of the water !
Canam sucks, buddy of mine bought an X3 turbo 4 seater last year. He bent a radius rod, trailing arm and damaged the spindle and it took 7 months for parts. Canam's are built real flimsy that's why they are a bit lighter.
You can say the same thing for every manufacturer. There's always a person who manages to break everything. Maybe you haven't noticed but getting parts for anything had been difficult the post couple years. It's not just a can am issue
My cfmoto is the shit .... jk I own a rzr lol
Haha! I don’t have anything against CF Moto they probably make some good stuff. But whoever approved the design for that should be working for hasbro not a power sports company… -Joe
commander xmr over that butt ugly rmax any day.
Yamaha RMAX for the win!
R-Max is the king,
You may be right for the two seater. -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad mine blew up after 6000 miles. Can am is tops
Yamaha rmax 1k. These are trash.
Nope! Not even close that thing is hecka uncomfortable as a 4 seat and is more sport based (a totally different category) than the commander.
Its 2024 and commander 4 seat xtp is 28599!!!!! Up 4 freeking thousand dollars! F-ing stupid!!!
That’s crazy. Meanwhile Kawasaki has dropped the MSRP on their krx
