My wife and I bought a 2024 Kawasaki KRX1000 special edition. We absolutely love it. I have only been out a few times, but what a machine. Most of our friends have razors, a few Yamaha and a few Can-Ams And everyone was very impressed with the Kawasaki. Keep the videos coming.

KRX has a wet clutch just like the Yamaha ultramatic system which has been a well proven belt design for over 20 years now. Lets not forget how comfortable the KRX is bone stock, I'd argue it has best in class inner cargo room / egronomics. Sure ya can't see backing up without mirrors but if your in a KRX you'll mostly be going forward anyway. Awesome machine, I love it.

I'm sure someone has already pointed this out, but, the Rmax comes with reverse/backup lights. Of course that could never be a single reason to buy one machine over the other but, the near perfect transmission just may be. I've had two Rmaxs's...one 4 seat limited (got rid of it, as it's ridiculous looking in person, and we never really used it) and the XTR 2. That loss of the second row seating changes the Rmax appearance, completely. All that said, time for a new KRX. I see them both as the most appealing machines on the market. I know this content is nearing a year old, but, been really watching the KRX reviews lately, and....gonna do it. One for fun. and the other to tote my gun...HUNTING! Like the mods you folks have done. To me, it's just like a great mountain bike setup...address the contact points first, and THEN mod the go-fast and bling.

Great vid. Prospecting krx owner and love seeing some real world talk. This will be a great machine long term for us i think for the average person who puts on 3000kms every 5 years a rzr might be faster and more fun but we tack on close to 6k kms in the same time and i have met few with a rzr that will look me in the eye and try to say reliable. Thanks for the insight into your experience.

The future of Jeep is Bleek. With the prices reaching 60k, poor reliability and the fact you would have to spend an additional 40k to get a stock jeep to keep up with the krx 1000 in the trails. Plus you can beat up on the krx without messing up steel body panels. Folks are waking up and realizing if you want to go off roading a Jeep is not the way to go vs a SXS. That has added to the decline of jeep sales. Great video guys. I am getting the KRX in about 6 months. The price drops from MSRP are insane right now. I do not think that is going to change in the next 6 months. The one with the custom cage looks so sick. Fantastic build. SICK

I just started the add-ons on my 2023, two weeks old now. I had it down to another RZR, the Talon, and the KRX. The KRX was more "Multi-purpose" in the end. It's not the speed demon, but it was the best rock crawler in the bunch. Not knocking RZRs, they are good, but the trailing arm on the KRX beats everyone based on the design (L-Shape= more real clearance). the front diff-lock is amazing, and lets be honest, the price vs what you get. I discounted the Talon first due to some TSB issues, and the Yamaha as well. As far as Can-Am, they are more at home on sand dunes as opposed to Multi-purpose. I also come from a Jeep background but mine were all CJs, not TJs or YJs.

we have found that we can cover a lot more ground in a day, there is also a lot more trails available to ride, but when it comes to hardcore rock crawling a built jeep or buggy is far superior to any sxs in that scenario from our experiences. The neat thing with the sxs is you can bypass a lot of the obstacle and get the trails done quicker though!

I have a Kawasaki 1000 in my shop right now that I am putting some go fast in for a guy right now. I will say it is smooth once you get moving, and the shifter is smooth, and the door handle is good, but I can reach my fingers right over the window base and grab my latch on my Yamaha. The Kawasaki is too darn big, with a big seating area and a tiny roll cage. I feel like my head is out the window. Im 6 foot, and I have a stereo system mounted to my roof over head and still have tons of room up there. And dang, man, that 22' Kawasaki is weak!! If you are going down the trail 80 or 90 that has to kmph instead of mph because everyone in the group of about 20 I ride with that has tried a Kawi can't stay with us and they quickly move to another brand. We have all the Kawis weeded out now. I will say one thing bad about the yxz1000, and that is the lack of low range. And I installed a recluse clutch and hate it, but that's on me. The new yxz1000r has a granny gear first with 5 regular. And you can get a crawl box, but thats 5 grand. But the yxz would run about 80 mph before I touched it.

I ride with a group that has several krxs, where as i own 2 wildcat xxs. The kawi like the xx is very stout and well engineered. Between the 2 here is my opinion. Xx on power wins, comfort is very similar. Handling very similar, where kawi wins is bolt ons. Xx is basically an orphan car almost no one builds stuff for amd if they do, they charge twice as much do to low volume.

Glad to see someone actually comment on Wildcat XX as that is something I've been looking into. But I'm pretty concerned at buying any kind of Arctic Cat products after buying a new snowmobile this year, they don't seem to get products and machines out to dealers and customers like they should. It almost seems in a way if they don't change something quick they may go out of business. By far the worst in the business with availability of new machines and parts. I'd like to look at one of the new XX Wildcats but can't find anybody in my area that can even get one.

I finally ditched my krx. I had a 2020 and it was hands down the worst sxs I’ve ever owned. I had nothing but problems with it. I had about 10k in accessories so that made it a painful decision to trade in but I went with a Polaris Rzr pro xp and couldn’t be happier. My god the krx was so slow and loud in the cab was probably my biggest complaint besides the mechanical issues. IMO the pro xp is just a more fun machine to drive. It’s faster, quieter, turns way sharper, the cab is more refined and the seats are more comfortable.

That’s awesome that you are loving your new machine! I’ve been in a few Polaris and they do nothing for me, I agree they are much faster and quieter in the cab though! Happy riding cheers

Both yamaha AND kawasaki use a similar, far superior, cvt, where the belt is always tight...most belt failures are due to the slipping belt design used on most other machines HAVING belts, as it's a crude replacement for a normal clutch. That slipping causes lots more heat, where heat is the absolute enemy. Belts, of course, have a bunch of rubber, and we all know what heat does to rubber. Those clutch designs are much better used in snowmobiles, for obvious reasons...it's cold out when they are performing. Put them in hot climates and everything changes. Kaw and Yam both use a wet-clutch in the engine that handles what the slipping belts do, and therefore the belts are much more reliable, as they never slip. There's a few trolls up the board there telling tall tales, and so see them for what they are. I currently own a Yamaha Rmax XTR, a Polaris General XP, and now a 2024 Kaw KRX Trail. I've owned nearly all popular past side x sides...including the JD Gator, (also currently own a Kubota RTV x1100c...I consider that more of a luxury implement, than a toy) to the XP Pro. I have a real good sense for what is typical from all of the big manufacturers, and by far Yamaha and Kawasaki are the best machines, and it isn't even close. (Honda burned me over and over on that Rincon, and so no...I don't believe in the hype) Yamaha does better on interior/exterior fit and finish, whereas Kawasaki lets me down on their overuse of pushpins where screws should have been used. Everything on the yamaha's body and interior is much more solid and tough. The KRX has flimsy body panels that are lacking sufficient bolstering and supports...especially down low and in the rear. Everywhere else that machine is amazing, and I personally can't seem to un-ass it when I should otherwise be doing something responsible, like paying for it! The short answer...it's one of the two best cvt's on the market, where a rubber belt is used. Oh yeah...the General XP is a turd...for sale!
