Hands down my RS1 is the most confidence inspiring offroad vehicle I've ever driven. Was turning 2nd fast lap times against 2 guys on dirt bikes and 3 guys on race quads on a 3/4 mile backyard track. Was cringing watching you take it through the rocks...I like keeping my stuff as scratch free as possible but still enjoy it.
The combination of good confidence of knowing where the front tires are with great throttle control makes the rock sections look easy. And not just mashing the throttle to floor hoping it will go. Plus an experienced driver makes all the difference in the world as well. But a solid looking machine all around. I’m still waiting for Polaris to come out factory with a turbo version of this!
I have a 2019 rs1 and I absolutely love it. Rode all sorts of side by sides and I am so much more confident in the rs1 hands down. It does everything very well.
SAME!!! IVE WANTED A HONDA PILOT FOREVER !!! Now, this TAKES THE CAKE! Pilot was $6000 in 1990. Adjusted for inflation thats $12,680 in today’s money in 2021. This RS1 cost $13,000 and is 100 times the vehicle as a pilot.
That was a great review Matt, I'd love to drive one now!! Your insight about seeing the wheels and building confidence because if it is so true!! That why I love my XMR SPORT, driving a X3 is like laying down for tall riders! Wicked vid guys as always, Polaris should be giving you the machine for such a well done review!! 😜👍😎
Awesome, prefer a SELF BY SELF anyway, no one next to you gabbing away or crying or shitting in their nappy cause of my perfect driving......I will buy/rent/steal one.....LOL
Matt you seem like ya never looked at a rs1 before. Shocking! Do the AA clutches, exhaust, and dyno jet tune and have some real racing fun. 13- 1st place short course and long. Simpson Racing.
Hey Guys, I Just wanted to ask which one you would recommend Just for fast driving on flat Undergrounds Like Sand, Gravel and so on, drifting would be cool If possibel with these wheelbase. 1) Can Am Sport 1000r, 100 HP 2) Polaris RS1 Important for me as a beginner is good cornering and as little tendency to flip as possibel. Maybe the possibility to lower the ride a bit
Lol was bored over the 2019 winter. We went crazy this is a unit that was made from two crashed units bought it a auctions . I had the time and as my wife said too much money . I had a large shop with all the tools . plus I normally lay off most of the shop crew in the winter ( it there vacation time ) but I asked if some wanted to work on a crazy project . went they found out they said yes . we did the work on the frame and
@@BustedKnuckleVideo we was at the dunes last weekend . wife told me to leave i was driving her nuts . ( it the business we blow the power company small substation . after I told them it was too small. I guess my electrical engineering degree means I don't know anything ) he all week complaining about how bad there engineer is got to her. Oh I have 4 engineering degrees .
@@BustedKnuckleVideo oh this winter we are going to try something really crazy . if it works it make this unit look like a kids tool . it happens to involve 2 liter engine from a polaris sling shot the polaris engine not the gm one ( I think that who wad the maker of the first engine they used in the sling shot ) on a single seat unit thing a larger rs1 frame . with much more power . My workers and are family's are going somewhere for the 4th to go riding . and a bonus this year I bought the all the workers utv. I got them finally took since February till today to get them. Hint if you want to get looked at strangely go in and say you want to buy 50 maverick x3 rr see what looks you get . one place laugh me out of the store next place I took in my bank statement . this is not the first time I bought them one. May have caused a shortages of them in my area
Seems to never let up soon as it hits the curves. Going into a power slide standing up not having to let off the gas. Will be hours of fun..what is an accurate listing price base stocked,?
I ended up catching u saying listing price towards the end of the video. Not bad at all. From everything I seen it cant do(which is nothing) I think the under hid listing price. Seriously worth every penny
Yes they rs1 Fun. I have 2019 and 2020 I put boon docker turbo kit in it and 2021 is stock (the wife's) the 2019 it bought a crashed unit this one I went crazy with . in call it my trigger unit . in spent way too much money in it . i put can am engine the 195hp turbo. Made custom engine mounts. Axles drive shaft , hub's. The when crazy with evolution power sports kit's balance the crank and every thing
I've always thought we're supposed to use both feet when driving anything. xD I've been doing that since before I had a license. My poor ass is gonna have one of these, someday.....
That’s funny. When I was taught to drive, 25 years ago, I learned on a stick shift. My left foot was the clutch and right foot was brake and gas. I was taught not to use two feet when driving an automatic. I was told that’s how women drive! Lol!! I’m not saying It’s right, just something that stuck with me. The wisdom behind it was that if you only used one foot then you wouldn’t ever give it gas and brake at the same time.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo that at crank not the wheel. Wheel is about 350 to 375 HP. One thing you must do you know upgrade the drive shaft to the front to a much heavier one I did not do it made a candy cane drive shaft. With some work it will run 32 pound of boost with out breaking things . also don't use OEM A-arms or railing arms. Or the OEM roll cage
Cool machine BUT seems unsafe. It should have a 4 or 5 point safety harness and cage nets to keep your arms inside when you roll it because it's so narrow and tall (top heavy) that i will roll quite easily and that crash tends to mess people up pretty badly. I wouldn't even drive this without a proper safety harness. The automotive seat belt is completely inappropriate for this application. Also where is all the horsepower, what i saw in this video you could do with 40 hp. 110 hp on this chassis should be insane powerful but sure looks tame. Needs gears also. C'mon Polaris get with the program. Also, not to be a jerk here but it seems like your review is all about kissing Polaris' butt and not so much about an accurate evaluation of the machine. Would you want your child driving this death trap? I think not,
I don't get paid to do these reviews. They are my honest opinion. No one leaves these machines stock. First thing I would do is add a harnesses and some stronger maybe even wide suspension then go rip! It is one of the funnest machines I have ever driven by far.
I have a 2015, 900s. Bought new. Will it break like china product. Asking for a friend? Parts cost like gold? Fenders break like china. Just saying. If gets wet , it goes into li!p mode.. Thank God for e bay, And I have Yama 1000 Wich seems to be tougher.

They are a ton of fun no doubt. We had to test all of it's capabilities
But isn't it to slow?
I love my 2020 RS1, does everything I want it to. Top speed is limited by polaris at 81 in case anyone was wondering
Thanks for the review Matt
A little tuning will solve that.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo

A Turbo RS1 would be perfect
@@BustedKnuckleVideo yes sir it would. I know the Side by Side Blog guys made one. I’d like to see it in action in person.

They go so well!
You are definitely right I got a rs1 2018 it goes anywhere everyone else goes with up grades and my is stock badass machine I love it
Been waiting for a Honda Pilot remake. Looks awesome.
Tons of fun

Thanks Geoffrey! Maybe one day they will give us a machine. Until then we will just keep sending it in these rentals!
That thing looks awesome!!!
Definitely a good time!!!!!
My favorite machine that I’ve driven
Looks like loads of fun in the sun !
So much fun
The quick disconnect body is the best feature They should make every model like that
Agreed!
OMG. How incredible a ride. Just like having your own race car that goes anyway.
It was a fun unit
Definitely the most fun and best UTV on the market! Though I might be biased lol
They are one of my favorites for sure
Alberta Canada in the house yall 🤘🇨🇦
Welcome!
I love my RS1! I ride windrock and it does need a gear reduction to really kill it on the rocks
Gear reduction and bigger tires for sure
Mine sits on 33s with a 30% gear reduction and it absolutely ripps. Theres not much that can keep up with it through any terian
You got a thumbs up from the RcOutlawz!!
Thanks!
That is one amazing machine, makes me want to upgrade from my 800s
they are amazing for sure
I am liking the videos, I was thinking of getting one to mess around with it. What do you use for your timing on the track?
just an iphone stop watch
@@BustedKnuckleVideo Ok, Been looking for one to place in my SXS to tests that hooks to my phone app
Awesome 🙌
Thanks 🤗
that steep stuff scared me watching, wish it had front lockers, it's a shame they quit making this so they can make bigger mini van SXS
Maybe one day they will bring back the RS1
Great review video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Well definitely sounded like school girl laughs when sliding around that corner hahah awesome dude u sure can ride 🤘
I was having a blast!
Nice. Looks like a lot of fun.
So much fun
I love my RS1 especially racing the RS1 it's the best car for shortcourse
they are underated for sure
Awesome. Machine. Wow.
It’s a ripper for sure!
Which one better for high speed trails, Yamaha yxz 1000r or RS1 ??
I’d rather have the RS1
@@BustedKnuckleVideo thank you ✌️
Awesome, prefer a SELF BY SELF anyway, no one next to you gabbing away or crying or shitting in their nappy cause of my perfect driving......I will buy/rent/steal one.....LOL
some people just can't hang. It takes the right copilot.

I've never driven one before this
Hey Guys,
I Just wanted to ask which one you would recommend Just for fast driving on flat Undergrounds Like Sand, Gravel and so on, drifting would be cool If possibel with these wheelbase.
1) Can Am Sport 1000r, 100 HP
2) Polaris RS1
Important for me as a beginner is good cornering and as little tendency to flip as possibel. Maybe the possibility to lower the ride a bit
I haven't driven many Can Ams so I would have to say RS1
Looks like it meeds high clearance radius rods! Or just let Matt drive and get custom ones in the first rock section 😁
I am rough on stuff....😬
I wanna see this enclosed for winter trail ride
Shouldn't be difficult
I’m so impressed. I want one so so sos o sossosososos bad.
they are fun

The first thing is replace the springs. I have a 2018
Why? I thought it rode great
@@BustedKnuckleVideo it does for a year or so the the top spring totally collapses
Love these guys lol their like thanks polaris now let's see what it's made of!
We like to put them to a real test.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo the only way brother!
glorious...just got one.
that's all you need
Looks like rock creek bent a radius rod
Shhhh 🤫

Where did you take it riding.. nice trails
Stony Lonesome OHV near our shop
@@BustedKnuckleVideo Stony is a fun park. But if you really wanna have some fun come out to Chelsea I have a few 100 acres we can play on. Hit me up.
What dealer did you get it through? I cannot find anyone with one in stock.
Basch Brothers in Cullman, AL
@@BustedKnuckleVideo thank you
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for tuning in!
Need slightly bigger lugs...and get both mud and rocks
Bigger tires would help
Why arent these a Supercross class?
It’s a side by me!!!
Self by self
when is Polaris gonna put a Turbo on this, it's been out a few years now, it needs a Turbo 👍😁
I agree!
No recall on this. Now it's used how much
No recall that I know of. It’s heading back to Polaris
How do you solve battery issues?
Get a new one 🤷♂️
I think it needs 35s and long travel
Yes!
@@BustedKnuckleVideo and maybe a turbo
@@blayden_1n44 turbo would make it rowdy
What's that clicking noise
Clutches
Shock Therapy sells limit straps that help that sound as well.
still wondering sequential transmission in a sxs..
that would be nice, for now they are CVT
@@BustedKnuckleVideo i never check what they run in dakar. Sounds like manual. but not sure.
I've always thought we're supposed to use both feet when driving anything. xD I've been doing that since before I had a license. My poor ass is gonna have one of these, someday.....
2 foot driving is the only way to go
That’s funny. When I was taught to drive, 25 years ago, I learned on a stick shift. My left foot was the clutch and right foot was brake and gas.

The wisdom behind it was that if you only used one foot then you wouldn’t ever give it gas and brake at the same time.
How much does an average one of these cost new
around 10-12k, I don't think they make them anymore
Any idea who makes a custom cage for RS1s? Anyone know?
most fab shops can do a cage or there are retailers online that sell them as well
They want 22gs for a used one in canada..
ouch
Engine work . it now it make about 450hp . just a drag unit now just to crazy for anything else
450hp?

I doubt they will go that fast
They’re better with a turbo
Isn’t everything?
Is that stock skid plate on the bottom?
yes bone stock
It kinda sounds like a leaf blower lol
They all do
@@BustedKnuckleVideo yeah I know it I'd like to have 1 tho
NO Harness just a seat belt , WTF Were they thinking ? PASS
definitely should upgrade any machine to harnesses
