2021 Commander XTP Owner Review and DYNO!

We're back for another episode of "What's up Her Skirt" to dig deep into everything New about the XTP that the others cant show you!

[@chadfaulkner3600]

I found you guys by researching the new commander. Love your videos ! I'm a new subscriber!

[@M3OffRoad]

Huge thanks! We appreciate it

[@gregmonhollen4327]

Just keep watching more videos to come

[@prh1968]

Couldn't agree more on the upgrades you get going to the XTP vs. XT. But I pulled the trigger and bought a XT and I'm really loving it! Excellent review.

[@M3OffRoad]

Thanks we really appreciate it. Enjoy the new ride!

[@jefftesch7478]

Thanks for the commander content. Also looking forward to seeing it up against the general with the sxs blog guys for a better comparison,that xt looked like a bucking bronco. Keep up the good work, I’ll be watching it.

[@larryallenjr4962]

It looks great. Coming from a former G2 owner I like it . Until I get to wheel it I couldn’t make a decision between them. Loved my G2! With that said I really like the profile of this rig. Looking forward to seeing the shootout with the SXS Blog G2XP!

[@kevinruddles452]

Cool buggy can't wait for the race and the Krx supercharger.

[@carloscollado4890]

Thanks for the info, great video. Looking forward getting mine soon.

[@scottmoss3410]

Great video. Like I’ve commented before, you guys seriously do the best reviews in my opinion. I’ve been a SXS Blog man for years, and I love their content, but you seriously seem to be the best reviewers. I also love your Doug-like thank you at the end of the video. People seem to like that. I’m a proud M3 Off-road subscriber and have been since you started. By the way, I ride a lot in central WV. Where can I buy a M3 Off Road shirt to advertise your channel. It’s the least I can do for the hard work you guys do for us.

[@M3OffRoad]

Huge Thanks for the amazing comment! It really means a lot to us!! Email me [e-mail] with your size and address and Ill send some to you from our next shipment.

[@101rotarypower]

Really good review and covering all the details! Its difficult to find a thorough one for any machine, this was well done. Hard to believe a 30K X3 doesn't come with some of the basic features on this unit, hope they step up their game for the next gen because the X3 is bare bones on fit and finish as well as nice utilitarian details, the design still feels hurried and not efficient for storage or common basic needs.

[@bradtruelove]

Great Description... I own a 2021 Maverick X3 XRS Turbo-RR w/ Smart-Shox. I'm sure this new Commander will run right along with everything else on East Coast style riding trails (non-desert). If I purchase an additional SXS it will certainly be the Commander XTP. It's a true dual-purpose, and practical machine.

[@M3OffRoad]

Yes I think so too. Took her out for a trail rip and she did pretty good

[@Thief400]

The Dynojet tune really woke up my 2020 Maverick Sport XMR

[@M3OffRoad]

Yes we did the stage 3 Evolution Powersports tune on our Sport XRC. Liked it a lot

[@JDSTACTICAL]

Nice work guys

[@dustinfoster7448]

Cool dudes! Thanks for the review

[@TALENTLESSOFFROAD]

Great content as usual

[@gregmonhollen4327]

Such a quiet machine

[@SuperReddog17]

great review guy's

[@IronMan-jo7sg]

If you get a opportunity to look at an intimidator GC1K it is a quiet machine that would fill in the category of the can-am defender seams to be a well made Machine made in America but it is not a commander. Good video thanks for the walk through

[@billmasterpool8098]

I have an XT. LOVE IT! And ur videos are great! Are their any performance differences in the XT OR XTP? Clutch work? Can I add those tires and rims to mine without any mods?

[@roberthollar7931]

Can't wait till mine comes in

[@M3OffRoad]

Its well worth the wait! Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!!

[@DynojetResearch]

💪😤 Looking good, guys!

[@M3OffRoad]

Thanks! Now we just need you guys to crack this ECM!

[@thomasmcgee3766]

interesting to see it hold 7200 rpms on the dyno but most people talk about the weights causing it to hold the rpms lower on the street to keep in the peak torque. i see alot of posts about swapping the primary clutch weights out with the ones from the maverick to make make it hold a higher rpm under WOT.

[@troyroe6021]

That’s a great video, thanks,

[@scottwinslow8772]

New subscriber here. So far love what i see

[@garywilson3183]

Nice fence

[@matts9352]

How was the cab space for you for a day of riding? I'm 6'3" and wear a size 14 boot. I wanted to order a XTP Max but when I sat in one at the dealer, it was a little tight..

[@cp_atving5084]

I’m looking at one of these. How’s the dust in the cab situation with the front and rear windshields?

[@yeehah1984]

$22K minus $19K = $3K more money.

[@hughstratton8767]

You said you can get front and rear windshields aftermarket but can you get upper doors aftermarket as well?

[@flattiredan56]

You mentioned the Commander is a 2000 mile service interval schedule. How many miles do they suggest before the 1st scheduled service?

[@jerrytiller4047]

Great review, but would be a lot better if your camera man stopped talking

[@jeffcain3756]

I want one!!!!!

[@lloydmeyer6929]

What ever happened to the super charger for the KRX?

[@tinabubbyasher5984]

How good are the engines on the 700 can am commander,, and are they as reliable as the Honda,, what would you compare it to

[@nw843x]

Nice machine. did not have to be nearly 400 lbs heavier than the old model though.

[@jayramagost6490]

What about seat height and position compared to the R-Max and General? Is this the same as the Maverick? That would be a huge difference if it felt like a sport bike with a bed. The General and RZR searing position is totally different than each other. Obviously the R Max is way different than the YXZ. What’s y’all thoughts on that? Thanks for the great review!

[@M3OffRoad]

Seating is the same as the maverick sport. We were not impressed at all with the RMax.

[@doodrew800]

Great review. Question... do you think the Can-Am upper doors will work with the Super Atv windshields? Or will the straps cause problems.

[@lenhammermeister1287]

Not sure how the uppers attach but you can notch out around the straps I'm sure that's how you would do it for the canam windshield.

[@M3OffRoad]

they should. they superatv goes into the same recess as the canam.

[@hitokiribattousai6406]

How has the reliability been with the xtp?

[@samanthaturnbull6121]

How does this compare to the defender wrt in cab noise?

[@brokenarrowoutdoors2467]

Good video guys. How does that thing compare to KRX on takeoff power? I’m trying to decide on commander or KRX. I like more speed but krx is a beast and has a great ride.

[@lenhammermeister1287]

We are going to do that soon. We want to get it broke in or close but definitely coming soon. Thanks for watching.

[@M3OffRoad]

That's honestly a very tough decision.... the KRX is a Beast and rides amazing. However the XTP is almost silent compared to the KRX and the Torque is really nice. Seats also are very comfortable. I suggest you try both first. if you in the MI area get ahold of us and take a test drive.

[@brokenarrowoutdoors2467]

@@M3OffRoad I appreciate the offer! I’m here in Ohio so would be a long drive. I did call C Ray’s today to see what they have.

[@Supertramp01]

I was torn between this, the rmaxx and the KRX. Went KRX simply because I think the Rmaxx is to small inside and cheaply built. The commander is ugly as its a sport with a bed on it. Plus can am only offered full difflock on this model which I personally think the colors are horrible. Had the XT camo came with difflock it may have been a different outcome on my purchase(maybe). In my opinion the KRX is the best on the market although not the fastest ... it'll do anything good and its proven by shock therapy to have the best suspension out of any sxs on the market. I don't worry about drag racing a trail machine or who has the most HP... I worry about ride and reliability.

[@joeswartz2643]

Dident touch on the diff lock rear difg lock , ,sport mode

[@mingomane1]

Any luck in tuning yet?

[@blakebrown8716]

What other can am models have the same windshield and rear shield? Having trouble finding any in stock since its such a new machine. Thanks in advance.

[@M3OffRoad]

The maverick trail and sport all share the same cab. All accessories are the same. Thanks for watching!!

[@mingomane1]

Whatever happened to getting with the blog boys?

[@kenndogg7469]

Talking.belts for the Defender, what is the gains putting a x3 belt on the defender thanks... like the content

[@M3OffRoad]

The 652 belt has deeper cogs so it grips more then the standard 654. I ran the X3 belt after the tune. Helps with slip

[@jonparsons3326]

What clutch kit will work on commander. My xt max comes in May and I got 32’s tires I’m installing. Thanks

[@M3OffRoad]

we are digging into that now. you should be able to run any kit that's made for the Maverick Sport. we will talk about that soon

[@MRMAYHEM-ew4qk]

I have an XTP on order... question for you guys... on the front bumper there’s two mounting tabs for accessory lights... could you measure the distance between the holes (center to center)? The light bar I ordered is in... curious if the mounts will line up?... while I’m waiting for the unit to show up I could fab new mounts if I need too. Thank you.

[@M3OffRoad]

Its just a hair over 6.5" center to center. Thanks for watching!! You will Love your XTP!

[@MRMAYHEM-ew4qk]

Thank you very much!

[@M3OffRoad]

@@MRMAYHEM-ew4qk No problem. Let me know if you need anything else.

[@brokenarrowoutdoors2467]

Quick question on the belt intake. When you say you can only go in water this deep why? Isn’t it sealed and the air intake up on the side by your shoulder? Please explain. Thanks

[@matadorsfootball929]

I had the same question? . If its that low , is there room to put a snorkle?

[@davekrenz1202]

The cvt exhaust comes out right above the belt housing. Same setup as the trail and sport models.

[@M3OffRoad]

Yes you could very easily route the belt exhaust up and you would be good up the the frogskin vents above the door line. You still can do it without really hurting anything but chances are you will slip a belt. Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!!

[@majerstud]

Too many interruptions by the cameraman. Looking forward to the XTP vs General Smackdown though.

[@M3OffRoad]

Yeah I tell him to shut up all the time but he doesn't listen. Thanks for watching!! We appreciate it!!

[@offroadrider3194]

So did you have a clutch kit added because my 2021 commander xtp don’t hit 7200 it stays at 6800 and craws to 7100 let me know what you think on this

[@M3OffRoad]

It seems to be a issue. People are seeing either 7200 or 6800. There is a lot of talk about switching to the weights and primary spring from a maverick Sport and it really wakes the machine up.

[@steveachziger1641]

Does it get HOT in the cab ? My older Commander 1000 DPS got so HOT I couldn't drive it when it got to be 80 degrees. Even after I put 3 layers of GT SOUND MATT material in the center console.......

[@M3OffRoad]

No it’s actually less then most of the new SXS’s

[@reddfoxx2861]

I was thinking about getting one of these but they're made to carry a spare belt. That should tell you something. Think I'll go with the Rmax.

[@aaronnladronka8848]

These guys are addicted to the can am kool-aid! All the other SxS reviewers praise the Rmax, except these guys!

[@M3OffRoad]

LOL. I guess the Kawasaki's, YXZ, and the Polaris we have do not count.

[@M3OffRoad]

You will never need to replace a belt for 1000's of miles. Not enough power.

[@M3OffRoad]

You must have missed our visit with Yamaha when we reviewed the RMAX.

[@aaronnladronka8848]

@@M3OffRoad more power than the commander and general.

[@bkbooher]

How does it ride compared to X3? I’m really considering trading for the XTP.

[@M3OffRoad]

We are getting together with some of our KZbin friends this weekend. I haven’t ripped the trails yet. As soon as I do I’ll update you. It’s really hard to compare the X3 to the commander/maverick sport chassis. So far I’m very impressed with it.

[@offroadrider3194]

Hey what’s the measurements from the front to rear, just wondering looking to get an xtp but I got to buy a trailer and idk if 10ft will be long enough for this Machine

[@M3OffRoad]

It will fit on a 10 foot trailer as long as it doesn’t have a tall flip up back ramp

[@steveknapp7993]

Nice machine. What is the make of the rear window ?

Super Atv front and rear.

So when is the head to head with general???

[@MassiveOverkill]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKnoaquaMR5msU

[@actionsportster7686]

Nice looking, but really doesn't seem to compare with the Yamaha Rmax 1000 ... especially that machine's dual clutch system with 10-year belt warranty, 3 power modes including one crawl mode and full locking diff, electronic smart suspension, more travel front and rear, higher tow capacity, 7 inch TFT touch screen with GPS, and on and on.

[@M3OffRoad]

Uh I think you’re a bit off on your stats.... and we went to the Yamaha release and drove them. Not impressed at all.

[@Gc3erb]

Where are all the xtp videos? I can’t find anything

[@M3OffRoad]

Coming soon. We’ve been busy refreshing the X3’s. I’ll have a bunch of Commander XTP videos soon.

[@franzwiebe7227]

I just got one of these looks great but very disappointed on how rough it rides, way stiffer then the XP max.

[@kyjoe3403]

I leave mine on the softest shock setting and it seems pretty plush compared the the others I drove. Your Max is probably a bit heavier, also new springs will break in and not be as stiff after a while.

[@brokenarrowoutdoors2467]

Come on guys you’ve had that machine for three weeks now and NO track video??? What’s up?

[@M3OffRoad]

Weather and our schedules have been crappy. We will have a track day soon. If it rains our track turns into ice.

[@ericcass7579]

Polaris general has fully finished doors in and out and for handle on outside. It will be along time before any competitor competes with the general especially the XP

[@ericcass7579]

Good video though

[@1gr8oil]

Eric Cass............I can tell you from experience, the CANAM is a much better built than a POLARIS! I have had both, and the POLARIS broke down on both of the ones I owned. The General I had (2017) Left me on the Mountain one time!! I have had two CANAM machines, and neither of them had ANY issues at all! The GENERAL had several recalls, all of them concerning FIRES!
