Just bought one used for almost half retail. Then financed it at about $300/month. One of the best purchases ive ever made in my life I LOVE this thing especially for camping trips.

Thanks for letting me have a choice . Appreciate it ....

They lost me at $30,000 that's almost as much as an F-150

[@TakeThis_L]

30k for a side by side that’ll die in roughly 10 yrs? insane. I’d get a outlander or renegade 800 or 1000 used. They go for like 5-10k and can take you more places than a rzr could.

[@ridernakal]

@@TakeThis_L what a good choice bro

They don’t call it a “RZR Turbo” because there already is a RZR Turbo non “S” model 😉. Glad y’all enjoyed this performance driven machine 👍🏼

Sorry Ronald. Didnt see your comment. But spot on turbo S 4 not weird

Very detailed review. This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@gyulatakacs1824]

Polaris is very aware of the shifter problem. After I bought my RZR XP 1000, they sent me a review/questionaire about what I liked and didn't like. It spent about 10 questions just asking shifting and the different possibilities that they might offer and what I thought about it.

It be cool to see a four seater with the back seat area done up with some 15in sub woofers and a bunch of mids , horns & tweeters!!!

[@waynehicks317]

The reason for them not adding the 5th pint to the harnesses is that they supposedly have a possible patent coming for those because they have something in the shoulder straps that resist you from submarining on a impact. I cannot wait to see how the winter will treat this beast though! Hope to see yall out there! And maybe go to IMI and so some track running and jumps!

Nice review. I enjoy the off-road content. I just got back from riding windrock in Tennessee. Took a Yamaha Viking. On the way home I stopped to shop a more trail oriented rig. Really liked the Polaris 1000 xp 4. Only thing that worries me though is quality issues. The plastics were a bit shoddy with poor finish and fitment. Looking underneath the wiring looks like a rats nest and structure looked rough finished with signs of rust on the brand new rigs. Capability wise I was VERY IMPRESSED though. Lots of travel. ROOMY. I’m 6-6 340 and I was real comfortable. And the powder is impressive. I’m gonna sleep on it a while longer before trading in for an XP 1000.

[@sonictech1000]

I don't see a lot of people carrying a lot of tools, food, water etc. It seems like you could get yourself pretty far out into the middle of nowhere in these things where a breakdown would really suck.

[@chadanderson2486]

Anyone who would spend 30 grand on a utv IS a tool! And... all you need to survive in the wilderness is beer n pussy!!!

[@chadanderson2486]

U mean like a nervous breakdown because u spent 30 thousand dollars on a utv.

[@JoshuaDomoslai]

Most people who don’t bring stuff just drive within a few miles from camp at OHV areas and usually can walk back, or find other people to lend a hand. Down here in the west coast where it’s all desert, almost everyone who goes out to secluded areas and drives far carries a spare drive belt with the tools to change it and fix a flat tire, or has a spare tire mounted, and has a rotopax gas can mounted on the rear of the cage. I always carry a spare belt, spare tire and some gas with a small ice chest with drinks and snacks, and of course a gun in my backpack for personal protection from crazy people you may come across all alone.

[@ItsHisComedy4You]

Chad Anderson you only complaining because you can’t afford one fucken noob. No one is a tool for buying themselves a nice Toy like these. If someone can afford it & wants to drop 30k on a UTV, let them be you weirdo

[@motorcycleguy73]

Another very good video Roman sorry about maybe possibly insulting you on your KTM 690 review but it was alittle weak, I own one. Hey where's everybody coming up with the money for these. I know these are fun and all but not too much more money you can pick yourself up a nice used Jeep or even a new Jeep don't know,I think one day the markets going to fall out of these. In Arizona out here we can Street legalize these so that brings a little bit more versatility to them. Keep up the good work Roman love your off-road Truck reviews they're the best.

[@chloeforinash9417]

I think an older UTV with some tires or tracks would be just as fun for the money. Maybe the two brothers flame throwing could do something.

[@xziang]

Little bit late to the vid, but since you have it for a long period of time I hope a trip out to walden for some sand is in order.

[@jabroni6199]

SxS are definitely THE way to go for off-road fun. If you're mainly looking to do trail exploring, things like Goldmine Hill or Cliffhanger, you don't need to spend 30k for a SxS I got a Kawasaki Teryx 4 LE 10 days ago for 13k by snagging an outgoing 2018 model. I've also been an owner of a Raptor for the past year and since buying the Teryx 4, I anticipate my off-road adventures in the Raptor will be limited to towing the Teryx 4 to the trail head. The thing is just so much more fun to take off road and insanely capable. Moral of the story... If you want to have the most fun off-road, buy a SxS and a vehicle capable of towing it.

[@Tombomb1816]

@@kenshinhimura9387 died 10 years ago? What are you talking about? The off-road scene is bigger than ever. Out on the trails you will see 1000 dollar machines up to 60k. If you wanna go off road you don't need a lot of money.

[@jdub229r]

Less than 10k in my 2016 RZR 570 S conversion. Goes wherever 1000s will.

[@jabroni6199]

Kenshin Himura well it’s not an ATV it’s a Side by Side. ATVs are quite a bit cheaper. While I agree the price for many side by sides is through the roof, I don’t agree that the off road scene is dead. If no one was buying these, companies wouldn’t be constantly putting out new products and the same or even higher price points. If you’re only going to ride a couple times a year then yeah, 13k is probably much. I’ve owned my Teryx 4 for less than 3 weeks and I’ve taken it out on the trails 3 times. I will definitely be getting my monies worth out of this thing.

This is a high end high power RZR - you can have a blast in a 900 CC 4 seater.

[@Schnorgldorf]

This is ridiculously affordable for what it does. And it is 100% street legal and daily driver here in Lake Havasu city Arizona. In a place where in every single direction you can hit an insane desert mountain trail, this is totally what it's about I can't think of much better than this. this is why these are one of the most common vehicles on the road here. No trailer is needed.

Ive been in the offroad scene my entire life. Ive seen so many places get closed to OHV access while hikers and mountain bikes reap the benefits of trails forged by motorcyclists/mining trails. Ive seen trails go from a fun ride to rocky damn near expert ability over the course of my short life while riding the rockies. I have a feeling it is only a matter of time before these machines are regulated differently. We have motorcycle trails,

[@glenm2229]

I think far more people are going to be out on those trails, because of SXS's, experiencing state/national parks and the natural beauty, scenery, etc than were able to before because they can safely and confidently get to them without the need/expense of grooming and paving thousands of miles of fire roads etc for regular automobiles to be able to use them. More people having access to and appreciating those places is good for all of us. I just hope the boom in traffic comes with a culture of good stewardship.

[@sonictech1000]

Around here They've closed a lot of the smaller, lesser used roads and >50 trails. I don't get the impression that

[@glenm2229]

@Kenshin I've seen a lot more 4-seaters on the trails than I would have expected. The majority of units however are not the top of the line 30k+ things though, they're simpler, and often the utility and sport-utility models.

[@glenm2229]

I'd be willing to bet that SXSs had more to do with the decline in ATV sales -- same tech required, but the SXS offers more comfort and security with modest material cost increase. Of course those increases can be a lot more than modest if you opt for extra capabilities, but base 2 seat SXS models are basically the same price as a top end ATV. I would say that today's question is going to be who can better capture potential offroad sales in the 20-30k range, SUVs or SXSs? Will people feel more comfortable beating a SXS like that and putting it on a trailer to go home, or do they need one vehicle to do both parts, getting there and offroading? Can they tolerate the driving/comfort qualities of an offroader as an every day driver too, or do they split those duties between two purpose oriented vehicles? The auto manufacturer's honestly don't seem to be trying very hard to capture that sub-30k market with capable utilitarian models, leaving it wide open for the SXSs.

[@firebirdjone]

For us it was a pretty easy decision. Over the last 15 years we've done jeeps, blazers, and even an old school sand rail. In the end the razor was really a no brainer. They ride better and get more places than I could ever care to go in a jeep or blazer, and do it in half the time. A trip in one of our jeeps that typically took 2 hours I can do in 45 minutes with the Razor. Saves us a ton of time to do more things while we're out off roading. Quite frankly our jeeps and blazers were way more expensive and I felt too nice to abuse heavily off road anyway. The other decision maker for us is that these Razors are street legal here in AZ so it's really a dual purpose vehicle. We use it to run to the store, my wife drives it to work nearly daily, it gets 22-23 mpg no matter how you drive it, and yet we also enjoy it all over the mountain ranges AZ has to offer. Worth every penny.

@@kenshinhimura9387 I sell at least one $35k side by side a week. The rest of the week I consistently sell $10k-$25k ATVs and side by sides. Its a fast growing scene that needs to be experienced to be appreciated and understood. Many people finance recreational vehicles, not just morons. When you ride a 30k side by side how it should be ridden and compare it to a 13k side by side or 30k truck there simply is no comparison. The 30k side by side takes the cake.
