Huge kudos to the riders at St. Anthony that jump in and help other stranded riders! My wife and I had our clutch come apart on top of a huge dune during some intense wind. Strangers ran for parts and eventually towed us back to camp. Then refused to accept any gifts for their hard work. Truly exceptional people.
For all the hate the Wildcats have been getting I think this vid puts it in perspective the best. Sure looks very capable of some exceptional fun, just like all the other big dogs.
Great review it’s awesome when you review it for what it is and not trying to compare it to built machines with turbos and such looks like it jumps ok for a stocker pretty impressed.....keep up the good work.
Great video, it's nice to see a video done in the area that I've been to many times. I would not hesitate to get the XX as I'm looking for a side-by-side now, but I need a four seater and they're probably several months if not longer away from releasing a four seater.
Great honest review.....great job! I believe the XX in the next several years will be king of the hill. They need to introduce a turbo version! I'll wait until then.
Great vid. I bought an XX and love it! So far it is the most fun I have had on a sxs. The machine rides awesome. And your right. It could use a little better clutching
Carry a can of starting fluid and matches with you. You’ll never be stranded again after popping a tire off the rim. Oh. And if you can afford that beautiful X3 you can afford tools ;)
Love St. Anthony. Bummed it couldn’t go out of Choke, had a 2012 Cat that did 1/3 way up before bail so it’s improvement. Now I own a X3 stage 2 and go out of Choke at 43mph. Love Cat they just need a bit more HP as usual.
The footage looked great. Jump scenes make me miss the dunes badly. Minimum tool suggestions for an offroad kit. Craftsman 153 piece tool set, Item # 00939153000 Model # 39153. Excelling box that holds the tools that super secure. Has damn near any and every tool you'll need in a wellorganized kit. Viair 400P air compressor or bigger. ARB compressor would be even better.
Man, such a sick video. You got a well deserved sub from me and I'm sure you will have many thousand more soon if this is the quality we can expect from your channel. Thanks for the great content!
For the most part the XX did all the jumps and woops just fine. It did not time itself very good on the woops at the base of choke cherry but all the others it did very well. The only adjusting we did to the suspension was adjusting the clickers on the shock, which are nice and very easy to do. Any further adjusting I would do with out a full long travel kit is load the back springs a little more.
Mike it’s all relatively the same. I find the YXZ motor noise loud and the X3 motor noise loud. The XX is no different but for me I did have to get used to listening to a CVT revving over 9000 RPM. The XX muffler sounds tinny, would make a muffler with some a more base or Performance tone to it. As for the paddles I feel it would climb out of choke with paddles and minor clutching.
HillBro Thanks. I think the exhaust is tinny too. I'm thinking a triple merge and then out to something like three FMF powercore 4's might work to deepen in. May even need a resonator box. Hopefully some company will work on that.
there crazy overbuilt! the things crazy durable and so easy to work on, they listened to there race guys thats for sure. very easy to work on, lots of interchangeable parts from left to right side, bed has a tire hold down right in it just need to get a t handle for a spare, even the belt cover is held on with clips so you dont need tools to get to your belt. its not like it ever kills belts anyways this thing runs belts at like 100 degrees all day even in the desert they will last for ever. any one who trash talks the XX has no idea what there looking at
I will keep my X3.They made a few changes that I like but overall I don't think it will content with the RZr Turbo S or X3 even when they add a turbo or supercharger on it.
Yeah right... go check out benchmark performance boosted XX on instagram..not only that these cars were designed for rough desert more so, they are heavier because of that. X3 or RZR turbo in bone stock condition will get left in the dust in the rough desert. In the sand they will definitely out perform because of the horsepower advantage.
Sergio, Thank you. I really don't know the name of this song. We had it saved in our song bank from over ten years ago and found out that UA-cam does not monetize so we used it.
Any updates? What happened with that exhaust mod I spied a bit back? I still haven't bought one but that time may be here soon. Just want to be sure it's a good choice.
Sorry for the delays on our updates. We really appreciate everyone’s support. We just get extremely busy with our real job in the fall and winter that we actually haven’t had the chance to even finish the XX. We will always try to be positive about the machines publicly so if you have any questions about them let us know. 👍
Great video but for the life of me I can’t understand why people go that far out 10 miles with no tools or an air pump you know things are bound to happen as they did get some gear that way you don’t get stranded
It depends on the day and tires you run. The stock big horns are good sand tires. The XX will with big horns and if the clutch is set up right. The same with any 1000 set up right like YXZ, RZR, Maverick. It’s a struggle but all are capable of doing it.
No reason other than to see if it made the ride any louder or offered any more cooling. It did help with cooling but it didn’t really change the noise level. And no we have not had any belt issues. 400 miles on original belt.
ngward79 to make it easier to change out broken belts they will break if they do at least pick them up and take them out with you don't want to be a butt but I am from Utah and I get sick of seeing the broken belts left behind all over the little Sarah sand dunes how hard is it to pick them up?
POS lol, you idiot. Not every machine made is designed for sand dunes but just because it isn't doesn't mean it's a piece of shit. On tight trails here in Pa this machine shines. We don't need 25" of travel or turbos, in fact they are useless here but that doesn't mean they're a POS. Every machine has it's purpose you mindless twit!
Thank you was just wondering I have a Packard supercharger dasa full exhaust fuel controller programed by Packard with just 8 pounds of boost now I just need to Dyno and get a good idea Maybe 80 - 90 at rear wheels ? Want to rip but not scatter motor with stock internals !
Hey N8. Alba is already getting 22hp out of their exhaust and reflash. And they aren’t done with development. Check UA-cam for Alba racing. The sound is killer!
Honestly don't know about the rods, but I'd guess they get the same rods as the yxz. AFIK yami just ships long blocks to cat's engine plant in St Cloud
We have tried a couple of things. Nothing real exstensive. Stiffer secondary spring helps a little with the machine we have. We will look into it more when we get a chance.
Kev. Sorry. We are extremely busy this time of year. Shooting and releasing videos is very difficult in our busy season. The project is coming along nicely we will get something posted as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!!
@@HillBroPro Thx for the update. I saw a lil Facebook tease and I was hoping for a some more info. You guys helped me decide on buying a XX and I have no regrets. Thankyou,
Man that means a lot. 👍 thank you. So far we have completely built our own suspension kit and turbo kit. We are hoping for 24 “ of travel and 300 HP. So far it’s looking good but we have a ways to go.
Thanks for checking up on us. We deeply apologize for the lack of updates. We get extremely busy during the fall and winter and are unable to keep up on our HillBro projects.

This video deserve more views.. this is a high quality video. thanks
Thank you. It’s support like this that makes the effort worth it😎👍
Love our xx very awesome side by side
More and more impressed with the xx
Great review it’s awesome when you review it for what it is and not trying to compare it to built machines with turbos and such looks like it jumps ok for a stocker pretty impressed.....keep up the good work.
I have the same car, I love it. No dunes where I'm at but plenty of awesome trails and fire roads. Simple put the XX rocks.
Agreed!!
I like the size and design of this
Wow! Fantastic video guys! Killer shots, love the drone footage, those dunes look like a ton of fun!
ELKA stage 5 shocks will smoke the best Fox Shocks all day long. ELKA is the king of atv/utv shocks. Great video.
stgraves260 haha looks like you dony know nothing of off road right ??? lol
Great video, it's nice to see a video done in the area that I've been to many times.
I would not hesitate to get the XX as I'm looking for a side-by-side now, but I need a four seater and they're probably several months if not longer away from releasing a four seater.
I know they have announced one but yes probably a ways from releasing.
Great honest review.....great job! I believe the XX in the next several years will be king of the hill. They need to introduce a turbo version! I'll wait until then.
I don’t think you will see one come from cat. Not on the XX at least.
What about a super charge
its a YXZ motor and there is multiple very good turbo kits for it, i believe there is even one now for the XX that is approved by textron themselves
Great vid. I bought an XX and love it! So far it is the most fun I have had on a sxs. The machine rides awesome. And your right. It could use a little better clutching
It’s sharp looking. Always liked lime green and black.
Carry a can of starting fluid and matches with you. You’ll never be stranded again after popping a tire off the rim. Oh. And if you can afford that beautiful X3 you can afford tools ;)
I work on this stuff for a living. XX looks awesome to work on, probably the easiest. Can-cam is probably the worst.
If it had a regular transmission,I would buy one
It's built to tune on! Awesome.
Picking mine up this week!
Love St. Anthony. Bummed it couldn’t go out of Choke, had a 2012 Cat that did 1/3 way up before bail so it’s improvement. Now I own a X3 stage 2 and go out of Choke at 43mph. Love Cat they just need a bit more HP as usual.
We feel it could have climb out of Choke with some paddles or big horns. But I do agree with the lack of power.
Awesome video. Thanks.
The footage looked great. Jump scenes make me miss the dunes badly.

Viair 400P air compressor or bigger. ARB compressor would be even better.
That’s going on our list👍
Nice work bro
Great video guys. Love St. Anthony's too.
I’d like to see the XX with paddles....
We will try and work on that👍
Great vid
Man, such a sick video. You got a well deserved sub from me and I'm sure you will have many thousand more soon if this is the quality we can expect from your channel. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you very much for your support!!
Why does it sound like an angry vacuum cleaner?
Awesome video as usual guys! Did you guys have any issues bottoming out with the XX and did you make any adjustments to the suspension?
For the most part the XX did all the jumps and woops just fine. It did not time itself very good on the woops at the base of choke cherry but all the others it did very well. The only adjusting we did to the suspension was adjusting the clickers on the shock, which are nice and very easy to do. Any further adjusting I would do with out a full long travel kit is load the back springs a little more.
Pretty bad ass video!
As usual awesome video. Great review... I feel i need some Dunes in my life
Let us know when you do👍
I'd love to see some paddles on it and another shot at that hill.
We will see what we can do about that👍
HillBro Thank you. I'm really thinking of buying XX but can't get demo in my area, so I'm relying heavily on videos and written reviews.
How do sound levels compare during all day rides vs other rigs.
Mike it’s all relatively the same. I find the YXZ motor noise loud and the X3 motor noise loud. The XX is no different but for me I did have to get used to listening to a CVT revving over 9000 RPM. The XX muffler sounds tinny, would make a muffler with some a more base or Performance tone to it.

The controversy is with biased RZR owners. Wildcat XX is the best naturally aspirated machine out there.
awesome ride !
Its so over built for the class and that is saying some thing!
They obviously have big plans for this thing.
KINDIRBUDS what class are you referring too?

How come there is never no one or many people there? Am i missing something ??
You must catch it on good days.
Awsome Ride, love the xx, nice review, also what the name of the song?
Sergio, Thank you. I really don't know the name of this song. We had it saved in our song bank from over ten years ago and found out that UA-cam does not monetize so we used it.
Only thing I hated was the music
Bottom out on the big jumps and it sounds like it’s going twice as fast as it is
It is bottoming our. We are still adjusting the shock.
Love to finish the video but I'd perfer to hear a canams suspension take on rocks over that song.
Any updates? What happened with that exhaust mod I spied a bit back? I still haven't bought one but that time may be here soon. Just want to be sure it's a good choice.

Great video but for the life of me I can’t understand why people go that far out 10 miles with no tools or an air pump you know things are bound to happen as they did get some gear that way you don’t get stranded
Did you ever dial in a deeper exhaust and get rid of the tinny rattle before going turbo?
We have only done the custom turbo. We haven’t been able to do just the exhaust yet.
Team Artic 🐈
Seems to be an unfair test as you took the clutch cover off and didn’t run it like it comes off the show room! Just saying!!!
God yes to St Anthony’s
Does any stock non-turbo unit make it up chokecherry all the way
It depends on the day and tires you run. The stock big horns are good sand tires. The XX will with big horns and if the clutch is set up right. The same with any 1000 set up right like YXZ, RZR, Maverick. It’s a struggle but all are capable of doing it.
What state is that beautiful Park in
South east idaho
I also was wondering why the clutch cover was off ?
No reason other than to see if it made the ride any louder or offered any more cooling. It did help with cooling but it didn’t really change the noise level. And no we have not had any belt issues. 400 miles on original belt.
ngward79 to make it easier to change out broken belts they will break if they do at least pick them up and take them out with you don't want to be a butt but I am from Utah and I get sick of seeing the broken belts left behind all over the little Sarah sand dunes how hard is it to pick them up?

Just a dumb question if that is the same motor as yxz how does it have 106 hp I know you don't gain it through the belt drive you lose it?
Thank you was just wondering I have a Packard supercharger dasa full exhaust fuel controller programed by Packard with just 8 pounds of boost now I just need to Dyno and get a good idea Maybe 80 - 90 at rear wheels ? Want to rip but not scatter motor with stock internals !
Hey N8. Alba is already getting 22hp out of their exhaust and reflash. And they aren’t done with development. Check UA-cam for Alba racing. The sound is killer!
Arctic cat designed a better intake manifold, better exhaust header, and uses different camshafts than the yxz
Honestly don't know about the rods, but I'd guess they get the same rods as the yxz. AFIK yami just ships long blocks to cat's engine plant in St Cloud
Any chance to do clutch work yet? Any other testing?
We have tried a couple of things. Nothing real exstensive. Stiffer secondary spring helps a little with the machine we have. We will look into it more when we get a chance.
HillBro Thank you. So curious about the fixes. I'm hoping it does not take much to dial one in.
Waiting for a update video of your xx

Where are these dunes located
These are the St. Anthony Sand Dunes in south east idaho
Do you have a sop
?

I know wildcats are good and stuff but I just think they are so ugly the xx is the best looking but the rzr just looks so much better
Textron dealers getting few and far between
You are a trivial and unskilled person because all the world and the specialists agreed that the Xtxron Xx was the best buggy in the world
Noparese reiser de atras i de los lados de adelante si 😓😓😟😟😕😕😕😐😐😐😑😑😑😒😒😒😒😒😒
Sounds like a yamaha
That’s because it has the same engine as the YXZ
Thanks buddy I know that...... same motor and from control arms a yxz...... Different cams intake and bigger throttle body. on Textron.....
No shit
same control arms too... different cams different intake different throttle body
I just think that Arctic Cat is just the ugliest thing there ever was it's just ugly as Sin
Only thing it rips, is your ear drums out of your skull with all that engine noise.
Lmao everything is better than the x3 lmao gtfoh
I guess if you don't care to get up big hills or anywhere in a hurry it's OK. Probably shouldn't have put that choke cherry clip in there...
