I recently bought a used 2012 RZR 800S LE, installed new bearings, bushings, and ball joints, and a few other neglected maintenance items.
I completely happy with what it can do and where it can go. I’ve gone everywhere my buddies have gone with their $30k+ machines
A little over 11k miles on it and it’s still runs and pulls like a champ..
I bought a 2012 800S HO, has to be almost the same thing, and I completely agree and absolutely love it.
If you dont mind me asking, how much was the price for the rzr and all the additions? To both of you
I still own and drive my 2008 Polaris RZR 800 with over 6,000 miles, and still has the original belt that still looks like new. I have driven the crap out of it. Rolled it twice, haul logs and deer, plowed snow, basically beat the heck out of it on the trails. It still runs as good as the day I bought it. I will never sell this awesome machine. Its the best machine they built.
I got a 2012 800 razor and it has 10,000 miles and still runs great
That's simple, the best RZR is the one you own!
How about it?!!? We should all be more happy/satisfied with the things we have!
The one that runs you mean.
I own none. Nice
My 2017 800s
Superdj24_ then Getchu one!
Still own a 2008 rzr 800 with 6000 miles on it still runs like it's brand new
Can’t beat em
Have one too, great utv
Don’t know why all these haters even write comments! Great video, F those haters
Thank you!
since most people can’t afford these they try to justify why they shouldn’t buy them. And call these products trash, “oh I had a buddies buddy that had one and his transmission fell out.... because it’s a Polaris.” If you have a super car it’s going to need to be serviced more than your town car. Don’t hate until you try.
i have a 2008, was my first side by side and its still awesome to this day! when i got a new wildcat a few years ago i gave my 08 rzr to my dad and hes still using it and its going strong
Love seeing all of your dirt trax and snow trax vids
This was a great history lesson for a guy like me who has been out of the game since 2003. Ive previously owned a 1997 Scramble 500 and a 1999 Scrambler 400.
There are more options than I've ever imagined
Started with a rhino 660, then can am 1000, then bought my first Polaris rzr xp900. Loved the xp900 so much I bought a xp1000 and now I own a 2018 Polaris turbo S. Polaris is a great company and has awesome customer service. Due to the reliability of my rzr’s I’ll never own a different brand of sxs!!!
I got a 2009 rzr, regular ole rzr, no S or anything fancy. Has almost 6K miles on it, only put 1 belt on it, and had to replace typical wear and tear parts. Has more time in the mud and swamp than i can count. I feel like its been a pretty damn good machine. No engine or differential/trans problems.
Has been run low on oil a couple times, but still no ticking. I think some of the newer machines are a bit more problematic, but the older ones seem to be decent. I agree that it is alot with what you do to maintain it aswell.
Mine worls jus fine no need for the to be that wide an big all that does piss off land owners when u ride other people property
I love my 13 xp900 , here in the wet northwest woods its plenty of power , i'm steering with the throttle all day. I pull logs with it all the time, we abuse it pretty good on the tree farm and still on the original belt. Only problem I have had is the ignition switch took a dump. I think I'll have it for many years .
Have a 2013 900 xp. Arced A arms. Arced radius arms. 32" Terminators, for agitating mud holes and 30" Maxxis Carnavors, for rock'n the mountains.
Love this machine...fun fun fun...
Great video guys!
Great info here. Thanks for all the info you provide us!
Love my ‘17 RZR 900 S. Most fun you could possibly have as an adult.
I love my Ace and I'm keeping it for a long time. But I might have to pull the trigger on a Rs1
Have an ATV Polaris Sportsman 1999 and a 2003. Both still working. now that im 28. im going to try the Polaris RZR 900. Test drive one today from a dealer. Felt great.
though in august the first week they will release the 2020. maybe worth waiting a little bit.
all in all Polaris brand and Can Am looked and felt real good from the test drive.
🇺🇸
after the xp1000 in 2013 it got crazy, now the rzr guys are tearing apart the trails and drive reckless, its super dangerous now if your on a dirtbike or any small vehicle even jeeps, the bad drivers drift around corners out of control and are taking out others, at least here in southern california, see 5:33 as an example of what we are seeing, its so bad that I wont go out on the weekends anymore, just weekdays and maybe winter weekends.
Love your reviews, blessings from Panama 🇵🇦 ✌️
I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention the XMR - Highlifter mud ready side by side battle between the two
I love my pre update 2008 rzr 800.
Great video, as long as your off road it does not matter what you can afford!
I got a 2012 800 razor with 10,000 miles and still runs great
I’m picking up a 2013 800s I’m excited as hell
Just got this exact one she’s badass
I own an original 800 Polaris; early made model, March. All original, less than 1000 miles. Great for nearby Tonto National Forest in Arizona.
this is why i am a polaris fan!
Your channel is the best marketing dollars Polaris has ever spent.
I know you're trying to be cynical, but it actually is. We feel the same for all our sponsors and try to give them all the most value for our partnerships. Thanks for commenting.
And I'm over here with my 94 Kawasaki mule 2wd
Same
Great video I own a 2015 polaris sportsman 570 eps
I still haven’t had one. Been riding quads since 1988 or so. I can’t seem to transition away from a quad. All my ability and confidence has been built on sport ATVs and trail riding rugged mountain trails. I can jump off a quad and the idea of rolling down a mountainside strapped into a SxS scares me lol.
JohnnyRebKy a side by side is much safer just saying
God I would love to have one of those..
We need another video with the pro xp
factory utv in sacramento ca makes parts for all these side by sides!
First side by side was a Cashman, then the John deere gator, then the rhino. Polaris was the first performance sxs.
Hello everyone! I have a queation for you, is the tgb target a competitor of can am renegade? Or what type of atv is it ?
Do a review on 2018 Highlifter RZR pls
I can tell you I own a 2018 xp4 high lifter I only have about 120 miles on it so far but wow the feel of the gas pedal as far as smoothness, clutching engagement, gearing and engine braking are 100% improvement over my old 2016 xp4 1000 non high lifter. Only negative thing I can say is it rides 30% stiffer I'm hoping that softens up as it breaks in.
I just ordered a 2019 1000 high lifter won't get it till end of July can't wait
Surprised the Highlifter Edition RZR’s didn’t get mentioned
ProStar motors were a game changer.....purposely built Turbo 925cc is pretty dominant......
Here's a simple an answer
All of them
All of them are enough for what you want to do
You aren't ripping it 110 down the backroads
You'll do the exact same in a 570 Vs a 1000
Chick Hicks no
I'm surprised they didn't mention the General. A couple people I ride with have them they are a nice all-around machine
The General is indeed a fantastic machine but this segment was focused specifically on the RZR lineup.
@@dirttraxtv yeah that's true I understand. Polaris is the only way to go,my opinion. I have a 2013 RZR 800 S and I don't have one thing bad to say about it,I love it
@@rackum44 I have a 2013 rzr800s, new to sxs but love it, not paying 15-20 plus grand on a mud toy!
Polaris is number 1 because it is a good product at a great price. I just bought an 18 xp turbo. Its a price point product.
I wish he would have mention the high lifter rzr .
I love my rzr
Did any of the 2016 models came with 168 hp?
Did razor change the engines to make them more reliable? And If so what year did they do that? I heard rumors they did in 2016 and newer?
trialnterror the engines are reliable lol the belt is what gets you
RZR 800 S for life...
We have a 2009 Polaris rzr with 2400 miles
is the 900 walker evans rare?
I like my little 800 two seater with full doors
I don’t know why people hate on Polaris. They keep innovating and they changed the atv world.
I love my RZR 900s. I like it more than my car lol
Same. Until you ride behind a 1000 and you feel like that 75 hp isn't enough and you end up with a 1000
Owen Desautels lol I ride by myself mostly so I’m never behind any bigger than mine. I say I’ll get a 1000 or a turbo one day though but for now my 900 is good enough lol.
Big Ty Your lucky. A buddy of mine has an rs1 and everyone else I ride with has a 1000. It's like that 1000 turbo is calling my name.
Owen Desautels Yeah I would want to keep up with them lol. Hell yeah get the turbo man.I want a rs1 if they would of been out when I got my 900 I most likely gotten it instead.
Owen Desautels get the turbo s or if your trails get tight on a 60 inch probably not but if there 72in trails get it but you go with your have both rzr and maverick if you ride slow don’t get a canam it’s jumpy and get hot on the inside at least the turbo does and rzr has good power band both are good but just buy what’s best for you never rode a turbo Polaris just 50in 800
I loved the 900 xp, it had 88hp, and almost the same speed as a 1000 until they detuned the engine. Also, it was simple and didn't have all the electronics of the new ones that have the potential of breaking.
I'm sorry to say but in a few of those little clips you had some Yamahas in there but the Polaris I've seen the progression I don't like it but I do like it in the off-road scene I wish it was the old school still
Didn't see a single Yamaha in that entire video. Appreciate the post though. Went back and watched this again for the first time in years. Great segment.
9:43 into the video. What is that blue and white SXS?
I’m brand new to this. What’s the difference between a 800 and a 900?
100 ccs.
I think dirtrax should do some reviews on the vintage avts, and atcs. Just to show everyone where it all started.
How much money are they
I liked polaris but recently purchased a 2018 xrs x3 and I won't go back to polaris.
Met a guy that rented out Polaris and can ams, he said he had a lot more problems with the can ams.
Renting and owning are two different things your also taking a chance on renting other peoples problems.
@@LOOKFAST
They get beat up more by renting them out to the public I'd say
Lol,,,,, hears a thought.......... matey Polaris should work the bugs and recalls out before they move on to any changes.
It was cool to see the first one
What about YAMAHA UTV`S ???
Mads Jørgensen they are not even close to compare. They suck
So...Which One Is The Best?
Bubba F I get it. It’s talking about the struggle between arctic cat Polaris and can am to find which one is the best
SAY 1000 TURBO ONE MORE TIME
Nicks Tiny robe RIGHT ITS NOT 1000cc
What is it like a 998cc or something i mean rounding is a thing
They look cool and they are fast,,only reason I won’t buy one is due to there clunky gearbox feels like something is going to break everyone I have drove was the same..and all the problems with reliability from what I’ve read..for as much money as you pay for them they should last and take a beating .worrying about breaking smtng ..just my thoughts however I would like to buy one just the thought of not knowing there reliability..
They're cvt......
Imagine how much cooler the rzr would be, if it had a gearbox. With that deep growl from the motor and blow off between each gear.....Just think about it. cvt is kinda boring after a while. I say this with respect to my rzr friends.
I think they're going to plateau like the dirt bikes. People kept on evolving ahead of the bikes and some man.'s didn't want to follow as deemed unsafe...
I suppose I'm an old fart, but Honda actually kicked it off with the FL350 Odyssey and FL 400 PILOT. Not a true side by side, but is today's RS1.
When we were kids we used to dream of having a pilot
I used to have a Polaris rzr 570 and i best the hell out of that thing considering I was 9 at the time and I put over 20,000 miles on that thing I blew the engine up and I was upset for a while after that until my dad gave me another buggy and it was a Honda can’t remember which and I broke nearly all of the things breakable on it and I now have a Polaris ranger xp1000 2019 version
Theres so many sub models and changes because everytime they get an idea they throw it out to the public.
Much like Can Am, Polaris charges us the consumers a fee of admission to be their research and development team.
Read the forums on all manufacturers.
Lots of horror stories of problems that none of the manufacturers will admit poor design, but theyll spit out an updated model next year. Voila! Problem solved and didnt have to suffer the cost of any pesky recalls.
Its the game.
Go back to 2003 2004 when guys had long travel rhinos with r1 engines. The rzr was built off of this idea.
"2017 was 10 years ago"
2017 was 10 years ago from their first release of the rzr. Easy to understand. I thought so at least.
The best Polaris is the ones people don’t buy. Unless you’re going to be relatively easy on it. But this is my biased opinion based on working and being around these machines since the first trail boss 250 my neighbor bought his son after he broke his collar bone on his 85 ATC250R
Polaris has gotten a little better (very little) but no where as good as they should be considering they’ve been in this for many years. Polaris has a strong great tasting koolaid
So which one are you. Comment which one you own... xp1k proud owner.
Its BEAN ten years?
I want 3wheelers back
Go to the government
I approve this comment 10000%
Although i would personally never get one, they should still make them. I think even if they werent pretty much banned, they probably would have become less popular by now anyway tho.
3 wheelers? What do you mean?
Rzr rs1 is the greatest value sxs. Its just too good
34 thumbs down from 34 Wildcat owners that realized their mistake after their first off road trip
The Turbo S is a 925cc engine. Not 1000 as the person in this video says. All Turbo RZR are 925cc from factory.
yamaha can am polaris are the leaders in this class. there is no best brand. but if you ask me can am 1 yamaha 2 and polaris 3.
Never ridden one, but everybody I know that has a Polaris quad, all they do is break down, constant differential/transmission issues..... no thanks, ill keep my Foreman, have 3 of them, 2 from 2003 and a 2017...… As a guy in his mid 40's who grew up on 3 wheelers, I don't understand why new quads are all automatic transmission besides Honda?? I drives me nuts, I cant stand riding them, u cant putt around the woods anymore without constant hi-revving just to go anywhere, and riding downhill is another story in itself...…. Cant see dropping 12-15k on a high end Polaris quad that will be in a million parts and pieces in 15 years while ill still be riding my 2003 Honda...…
I agree polaris pushes them out to fast there known for problems.Warantys are sold but that dont help they leave it to customer. Also can am has a better design and quality
Wrong i have a razor s never touched a bolt on it its how you take c a re of it
...ahh, it's called progress!! Look at the current truck and car markets. CVT in cars is not uncommon and Automatic in a truck is prevalent and common.
Your arguments about Honda is also why they are not a leader in off-road vehicles anymore.
@@TheTowncat i take care of it but I also ride it. I think there all great and its personal preferences. In my situation aggressive rideing. Polaris has let me down fromn rattleing to top heavy to when it breaks . Warranty is just a piece of paper
@@TheTowncat I found that polaris rattles and shakes everything loose and until now I think they were built of less quility then can am. The new frame and desighn has improved but nothing can am hasnt done.Time will tell with this new Model and i'll be honest and if it holds up.Ill give it the credit it deserves. Alsoo they placed a few pieces of rubber to quite the noise.As far as dynamics a fox race tune on a can am is just as good and sometimes better.The navatlis has been on the can am as a option now its standard on polaris. I'll tell you this can am is comeing out with a belt less motor all electronic and a upgraded utv. I tell my buddy's I think polaris knows and pushed out dynamics and loaded this utv this year.But can am is comeing for the throne.To each there own its like android and apple.People will stick to a brand I say it how I feel it is.I bought a x3rs paid more but I bought quility.
Conclusion, the yxz is the most fun to drive
Ian C no
Rzr 800 is best mine turbocharged lifted and I put elca suspension in it best bike ever way faster than 1000 turbo
Please fire your video editor
Dallas Paulson put them over 6 weeks behind on production because he couldn't stay off the shitter.
None get a talon
YXZ>>>RZR
i got a yxz. crashed it fixed it and beat on it from rocks to dunes. tough car. good builders car as well cause you got a 20 grand canvess to build how you like it. can ams are good but are 30 grand and you still have to put money into it.
bla bla bla bla rzr
1000 Turbo S 😂😂
RZRs are doodoo fortnite is better
Rzr's are boring once you drive a 3 pedal YXZ.
🗑 🚮
polaris rzr trash
Jose Fernando Resendiz your clearly broke and can’t afford one
none of them. still same crap diffs, electronics, clutchs, wiring, self tapping torq screws, hi priced oe parts, crap power steering.
to bad Polaris cant master the art of reliability. there products do nothing but break all the time.
Or they cheap out on simple things like wheel bearings and a-arm bushings. Their quality control could also use some work, doesn't matter how good of wheel bearings are installed in the factory if they have little to no grease in them!
8800 miles on my 1000xp...never a issue one. I beat the shit outta it too. Belt, fluid and the shit I bend and it keeps on going...so speak for yourself
2010 800s all original other than fluids an tires never broke down ..alot of it comes down to maintaining the utv an treatment by the rider..My 15 900s also has not had an issue..I've seen far more can ams sitting on trails broke down than RZRs
I have read this in many forums.
Its all manufacturers.
matt dyer mine has been great without any problems
Empty and hollow infomercial. At least seem objective and point out all the flaws that FORCED continued innovation. Sheesh.
None of them because they are poorly built plasticy pieces of junk they will wear out within 5000 miles and most of that crap will not be covered under warranty. Sticking with my Honda and yamaha's.
one gigantic polaris commercial. and I have a rzr 900 and a outlander 800
Can-am has better engines, better fit and finish and more HP.
I only have a RZR 900 bc it was barely used and discounted 10 k off sticker. why bc there are wayy more polaris dealers than Can-am if you check out a RZR vs an X3 in person you would never be able to tell me the rzr is nicer. no chance. but you will never see them side by side at a dealer.
