Evolution of the RZR: Which One Is The Best?

[@Rogue308]

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..

[@bmacfo]

I bought a 2012 800S HO, has to be almost the same thing, and I completely agree and absolutely love it.

[@u.s.citizen9933]

If you dont mind me asking, how much was the price for the rzr and all the additions? To both of you

[@dons1493]

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.

[@isaacleach3037]

I got a 2012 800 razor and it has 10,000 miles and still runs great

[@randytaylor1690]

That's simple, the best RZR is the one you own!

[@54warrior]

How about it?!!? We should all be more happy/satisfied with the things we have!

[@bionicvenom]

The one that runs you mean.

[@superdj2456]

I own none. Nice

[@nicklinihan6653]

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.

[@shawnadkins1959]

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

[@Dreamscythe1]

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

[@Howto-b4l]

Don’t know why all these haters even write comments! Great video, F those haters

[@dirttraxtv]

Thank you!

[@frankyalvarez7160]

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.

[@outoftheboxwoodworks7560]

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.

[@rzrrider3283]

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!!!

[@fistcover3831]

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

[@lcdubs7847]

Your channel is the best marketing dollars Polaris has ever spent.

[@dirttraxtv]

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.

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 .

[@reidjordan4545]

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

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.

Do a review on 2018 Highlifter RZR pls

[@jessesmith1181]

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.

[@mudbug535]

I just ordered a 2019 1000 high lifter won't get it till end of July can't wait

[@frankyalvarez7160]

I love my pre update 2008 rzr 800.

[@graceevelasco9985]

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. 🇺🇸

[@bigty4725]

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.

[@owendesautels9612]

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.

[@bigty4725]

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.

[@jamesmaxwell413]

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

[@trialnterror]

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?

[@milesfox_1717]

Surprised the Highlifter Edition RZR’s didn’t get mentioned

[@HRMayo]

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.

[@boryspimentel3983]

Love your reviews, blessings from Panama 🇵🇦 ✌️

[@x4x4offroad87]

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.

factory utv in sacramento ca makes parts for all these side by sides!

[@felixrodriguez5847]

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.

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...…

[@LOOKFAST]

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

[@TheTowncat]

Wrong i have a razor s never touched a bolt on it its how you take c a re of it

[@biz4twobiz463]

...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.

[@LOOKFAST]

@@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

[@LOOKFAST]

@@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.

[@HeyDude93gt]

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
