We just bought a 2021 Polaris General XP 4 1000 and we love it so far .

[@dirttraxtv]

Great choice. It's an excellent vehicle.

[@darinjones4835]

I have this exact model. When they refer to body roll they are spot on. Mine had extreme roll in the corners. Also the ride is not the best, especially on sharp edged rocks. I had my shocks re-valued by Carl’s Cycle and put ZBros springs on and what a difference. It took about 600-700 miles for the springs to get broke in but after that the ride and handling were way better than stock. I had a 2020 XP General and just re-valved the shocks. It rode and handled better but the stock springs are junk. They started sagging after 5-600 miles. I lost around 1-2 inches of ground clearance due to the sagging springs. I currently have over 3000 miles on the ZBros springs on my 2022 and haven’t lost anything due to sagging. Not cheap to do but well worth the cost. Honestly it rides and handles better and I feel much more confident around corners and in technical terrain.

Great breakdown on this Polaris General. Love the show and it’s been a great season this 2021 in some pretty challenging times. Can’t wait for Snowtrax to start its new 2022 season.

Sorry for theblate reply. Hope you enjoyethe AnowTrax season and are watching us again now. 🤘

Great video Luke but always looking forward great tips on chosen a great sxs but for a fixed income or disabled person its outrageous now but nice

[@dirttraxtv]

Prices are nuts.

[@edwardworley88]

Still would take the Yamaha rmax over this anyday...

[@dirttraxtv]

Man, there are a lot of RMAX owners on here. That's actually pretty awesome 🤘

[@darinjones4835]

I also changed the front tires. I found the front tires do not turn well. At least not in desert conditions. I put the same tires on the front as the rear are. That also helped with the ride. I have no idea if this is true but I think the XGF tire that comes in the front must have a stiffer side wall. That is the only thing I can think of as to why the ride improved changing the tires. On my 2020 XP General I stayed with the stock size, 30”, and just put the same tire as the rear on the front and I noticed an improvement in the ride. On my 2022 I went with the same Pro Armor tire just 32”. That also improved the ride over the 30”. I changed the clutches as well. Polaris has a 35-69 weight for the primary clutch that is much better with 32” tires than the 35-76 that is stock. I also changed the secondary spring to a Venom spring that is slightly stiffer than the stock spring. I ride at elevation, 4-10K feet, so the stock set up, even with 30” tires, isn’t the best performance.

[@markflaugh2293]

I know you have covered the ride command but i would like to see an entire video digging into ride command and what it can and can’t do. Like can you add BobT maps for the Hatfield McCoy trail system to it? How it stacks up against the Yamaha Adventure Pro? And are they worth the price as opposed to a tablet and adding gps apps?

[@dbphillips1978]

I'd like to see that also, as I have the adventure pro.

[@dirttraxtv]

Excellent suggestion! We'll discuss internally and see what we can do!!

[@markflaugh2293]

@@dirttraxtv hopefully you decide to do this. Machines are so close with specifications like the Rmax 1000 and the Polaris General XP that the technology might be what someone looks at to decide which machine to buy. I can’t think of anyone better to do this because Dirt Trax Tv is in my opinion the authority these machines and probably have used them the most.

[@disgruntledconservativevet1798]

@@dirttraxtv I’m looking at getting a General XP with RideCommand. I have a RZR with the PIDD, can they connect, can they share pin drops. Functions/operations etc. how does the GPS work. How does the stereo interface work. Can it read and clear codes? Yes I too have lots of questions. PLEASE HELP US OUT!

[@woofersd2383]

I soooooo want one of these. Problem is, by the time I’m done adding, I’ll be over 30G. That’s tuff to take.

[@dirttraxtv]

Aftermarket industry is loving it though 😆

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

My neighbor has a General. Really nice sxs! 🙂

[@dirttraxtv]

[@outthedoorlife]

Thank you for the review. I always come back to the same question and concern which is most important to me. Seating position and leg room. In particular whether the seat is upright or reclined enough. Reclined is most comfortable for me. There is also the issue of left leg comfort. The dead pedal is always a problem for me. I know it is because of the wheel and it is consistent across nearly every UTV I've sat in. My question about the 2022 XP General is this.. is the interior space any different than say the 2019 General.. I forget which one I sat in but it was a desert sand colour and I don't recall if it was an XP.. certainly not ride command. Would appreciate your feedback on ergonomics because if a buyer is not comfortable, they won't likely use the machine as much. Thx.

[@dirttraxtv]

For me the General remains one of the most comfortable sxs's on the market. It is a little more upright than a pure sport, but the seats are super comfortable and ergonomically how I want it to be. ✌️

I just got 2022 xp general in ghost white and I love it I recommend this vehicle to anyone 🔥🔥🔥

[@outthedoorlife]

Crunch.... 2022 General Deluxe Ride Command or Commander XTP? Rock and a hard place. Both do what I want but comfort, interior legroom/space, ergonomics is my concern as well as capability. If you were to flip a dime for one or the other, which would you pick?

[@dirttraxtv]

We actually just got a Commander and it is such a nice piece of equipment. Look forward to spending more time in it. I do really like the General a lot though. 🤷‍♂️

[@worklogin6173]

the price of these things are ridiculous, $28,500?

[@dbphillips1978]

@@frostman9661 yeah, but you can't go far off-road in a car.

[@frostman9661]

@@dbphillips1978 my point is that these things are becoming overpriced for what they are. Sure they're powerful and durable, but they shouldn't cost what they do. They've steadily raised their prices over the years consistently while only adding marginal value with cheap to add things like stereos, winches, and digital gage clusters etc.

[@dbphillips1978]

@@frostman9661 same with cars and jeeps. Look how much jeeps went up over the years. Everything goes up, every year, everytime. But I may be partial as I just bought the new yamaha rmax4. And I may own a jeep. But the adventures we go on are awesome. But the same goes with cars, fifty thousand, eighty thousand for a truck. Depending on what it is, slightly used will save you some money from the initial depreciation.

[@manwithoutastar]

So are all 2022 XP models coming out with softer rated suspension than previous Walker Evans? Or just this trailhead edition? I didn’t think xp”s ever had QS3S. I couldn’t find any info on that: I have the xp ride command edition coming next week

[@joeypetrosky9821]

Do you guy like TLD general or do think that to much money love get one

[@frostman9661]

Don't get me wrong, these things are amazing vehicles with some great engineering and features, but $28k?? You can get a brand new Toyota Tacoma or Subaru WRX for that price... The cost is starting to get out of control on these things...

Not a poor man's sport for sure.

[@frostman9661]

@@dirttraxtv no question...

[@pajamatime5750]

Check out the price of the new Pro R 4 if you think this General is crazy! Polaris does build cheaper machines for consumers so there’s a wide range of options from all manufacturers…. The top end is getting high but I feel there’s still decent value found throughout their line up for people looking to spend less….

[@Snowcamo750]

So you can buy a 2wd Tacoma or a wrx for the same price,what does that have to do with anything? I could also use the same $28K on an addition to my house or build a barn,what are you getting at?

[@frostman9661]

@@Snowcamo750 the point is the price of these machines are starting to get too high for what they are. The value proposition is starting to wane for what you get which makes it difficult to justify unless you're swimming in cash. Didn't think my point was complicated...

Honest opinion... General XP or Rmax?

[@northerntoyota7584]

Rmax won a shootout I saw with new commander and general xp. The general was a close second in their opinion but the quality the Yamaha would have over the Polaris would be the tipping point for me.
