@@wraith511802003 that is true some of the time I’ve personally seen Jeeps go up trails that sxs’s have to we winched up. A Jeep or Bronco is way more versatile than any sxs that’s ever been built. This has never been a issue until Polaris started asking 40, 50 and even 60k for their products. Not one of them are street legal and you can bring up the bs about suspension. My ford Ranger Raptor is 56k and has 360 cameras, adaptive cruise, fox live valve, front and rear lockers and I could keep going.
CVT's have been used in the ATV/UTV industry for a few decades...They've also been used in heavy duty machinery for decades as well. People don't take car of their cars, that is the biggest problem with the CVT in the automotive industry.
There's a reason you see old 4 wheelers from the 80s and 90s still working because they're simple. Good luck seeing this going down the road in 30 years But then they don't want it to lost that long either.
I'm amazied I realy like the transmition looks heavy but extremely durable. Only concern is how would you keep the rads clean in wet dusty or especially a silty muddy conditions?
This new clutch on this 1500 is the only thing that has me paying attention. everything else is a waste of money and not needed but that drive system has some advantages....., Now I also will say Id rather have others be the test subjects.cause there's bound to be kinks to be worked out.
Hmmm...the analogy Pat used for the steel belt and a piston sure has me confused!! The oil bath lubrication for the piston is supposed to reduce friction between two surfaces, this I get. Why exactly are we trying to reduce friction on the steel belt/sheaves? Seems counter to the goal to me. In any case, not a chance in the world I would buy one of these........
What I can’t seem to wrap my head around is a metal belt on a metal sheave with an oil film wouldn’t it slip? I mean to transfer power from a belt to a clutch you need pressure and friction. Instant wear. Add oil, no wear just slipping. I’m obviously missing something here.
Is Polaris offering at least a three year bumper to bumper warranty from the factory on that machine? Reason I’m asking that clutch looks challenging to service worn clutch packs.
@@0xXAllForNothingXx0 Yea you might be right as to non serviceable to the dealer it might be factory rebuild replacements only. My concern is I use my ranger for plowing and things break ever winter. So it will be interesting to see how the clutches hold up since they said they are used in low speed applications first then the steel belt takes over.
Polaris has gone FULL JATCO. 🤣 Edit: If you ever thought SxS were already VERY expensive . . .you just wait until your fancy oil bathed metal belt CVT shits the bed, then you'll have a taste of what Nissan owners have gone thru all these past years.😬👎 Have any of you seen the price for one quart of NISSAN NS-3 CVT fluid ?

No wonder they cost an arm and a leg ! OH, BABY ! You better be loaded or be a mechanic because when these things start to break down you gonna hemorrhage money ! Specially if the A/C system comes filled with the new Unicorn Fart freon a.k.a R1234YF.
The only thing I've always hated with Yamaha is they don't have a turf mode to unlock the rear differential for doing chores around the yard/property where you don't even need 4WD let alone a locked differential. You'd think after 20+ years they could fix that mess....their CVT is good, just the lack of a turf mode is pretty pathetic with what they want for a machine.
I have a Ranger Northstar 1500 that revs about 4500 rpm to go around 20 to 25 mph. Could you do a video of the tach and speedo in comfort mode? With that info if the rpm does drop significantly, I'll trade mine in! Thank you, Johmn
Its a great machine but if 1500lbs box capacity and 3500lbs towing is needed around the farm with the potential of some weekend fun maybe an older Ford Ranger, Chevrolet S10 or a Dodge Dakota would be more practical. Just a thought. But with that being said, if i won the lottery tomorrow id probably order one.
I had an 04 Nissan Murano with the same type of CVT as this one (using a steel push belt). The transmission ran HOT, so hot it had 3 radiators for it alone. Bought it new, and traded it in for a Saturn Sky Redline with about 60K miles and zero issues with it.
does that mean a clutch tune is no longer springs and weights. but a tune that is flashed to the computer. similar to an engine tune. ( ex.. going to fuel injection from a carb. }
So you took a cvt from a car and installed it in a polaris!😩 service for the trans I wouldn’t wait the miles they selling it for to service it Maby half that. Definitely no consideration for some one who wants to service it them selves. They have so much room to install a spin on filter setup out side of the transmission. I cannot imagine what the coast of a replacement is or how short the warranty will be. Good thing I never buy one or pay the price for it. Unless I land a cheep one from copart auction web site.
Way more complicated than it has to be. These shops paying these grease monkeys 15 an hour are never going to be able to fix them. The prices are getting out of hand for a vehicle that needs everything rebuilt at 7k miles. At this point you might as well build a trophy truck.
It’s pretty complicated to keep the balance of having to many parts and not having enough. To many parts would naturally increase the price of the machines.
Worlds worst transmission design! Ask any Honda, Subaru or any other car owner with a CVT and over 60,000 miles. Been a mechanic since the 70's and I have never seen such high failure rate across the board by all manufacturers, especially in stop and go conditions. They only exist because they are dirt cheap to make and last long enough for the warranty to expire! Then you're stuck with a very expensive repair!
Why in the world you judge just because it looks somewhat similar. It's like saying one plane is the same as other plane just because they both have wings. Polaris and every other utv used rubber belts for decades and they are fine there's no reason why wouldn't metal belt last. Cvt exists because it literally provides infinite gear ratios.
It's not just similar in design it is identical. Anyone that has anything with a CVT takes a spare belt with them because the design is unreliable! The only reason manufacturers use them is they are dirt cheap to make and require very little engineering. Metal CVT's are worse than rubber as they push the belt, not pull it, and that requires very high hydraulic pressures. They suck in very light duty commuter cars, what makes you think it will last off road? @@dkdanis1340
Cvt transmissions in cars are not good at all , I replace then constantly at my shop ,and as much as Polaris cost to fix that’s probably a 5 to 8 k transmission
I’m loving all these positive comments… lmfao you’d think Polaris would see the public absolutely hating and disgusted with this and change things or scrap this new transmission design. lol nope
Hopefully you guys did better than the automotive world, those didn't take any kind of abuse or spirited driving. Otherwise this is just going to be a much more expensive way to change the belt
I agree. The Ford 500 and Freestyle were notorious for transmission problems with their steel belt CVT although the wife's 2020 civic is holding up really good so far but has only 45000 miles. I understand Polaris likes to innovate but I think a hydrostatic dual range transmission may be more practical in this application. Just a thought.
There are a LOT of CVTs on the road today. Many vehicles with way more power on tap and weight to move than this utv. It looks like they did their homework and built a good transmission. Of course time will be the true judge of that.
If the transmission holds the vehicle on a hill that could be very dangerous. Letting it be able to neutral backwards while hill Climbing usually will allow you to keep from flipping over.
Awesome idea.. but wait until they go bad. Cvt transmissions are 3k plus used for a car. I bet this will be close to 5k to buy. Also they are non rebuildable.
And they continue to Make recreation a rich man's game. Why don't they just make a Polaris jeep? Those style transmissions have been around in passenger cars forever. Just keep adding those $$$ to these things!
I believe one of the beauty's of a sxs is the simplicity and affordability. polaris quality is not known to be very good, these transmission sound like a potential nightmare, it strikes me as an attempt to make a very cheap 4wd car with a Cadillac price tag
The thing is people want different types of doors. Personally I like my half metal doors but some people want full doors. By just putting nets on them the people can make their own choice.
So no low gear?…. So now we just skim right thrust the mud hole? Oh and about that neutral… wait till there stuck in the water hole waist deep trying to find that neutral….
Put this tranny on the pro R. I would love to trail ride and have the rpms come down. I wonder how much more this weighs versus a typical belt driven cvt
Anyone watching this that wants something to pull whatever at the farm, go through some mud, and to chase cows with while bouncing off of trees, I have two trucks that I no longer need, most likely out last these, and you could buy both of them, and still have money in your pocket.

the old snowmobile clutch has much less parts is much lighter and much cheaper- the new one gets oil- electronic- hundreds of parts and the size of a car clutch?! hmm i dont know...
this this is way too heavy for the trails. 2500 lbs is just gonna tear things up and get it banned from the national forrests. this machine is for farm work, and thats how its priced too, since farmers dont have to pay taxes on it. and just put a regular 6 speed or even dct trans in it. no way im going to alaska with a cvt.
