Off-road Super Bike v Polaris RZR: DRAG RACE

Sell your car for free with Carwow: bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an absolutely incredible off-road race!
We’ve got our hands on a Polaris RZR off-road buggy, and it’s going head-to-head in a series of off-road challenges against a Suzuki GSX-R that’s been modified to help it leave the tarmac!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Polaris, it’s powered by a 1-litre 2-cylinder engine that can deliver 112hp. It comes with four-wheel drive, weighs in at 745kg, and all-in costs around £29,000.
As for the bike, it’s a whole lot lighter than the Polaris, weighing only 198kg. It’s still packing a bit of power, mind, being able to put down 140hp. It was one of the most sought-after super bikes back in the early 2000s, and it's now had several mods added to it including off-road tyres and armour plating!
So can a superbike actually beat a buggy that's been built for off-roading? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Thanks for another fun race guys!

[@GarryMcGovern]

Two videos of Chris in two days - you're spoiling us! 😉

[@NFLEDITORDG]

@@BikeWorldTVshowlove you guys and what you do

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

@@NFLEDITORDG thanks, we try hard to have fun!

[@rikaus9273]

You need to use a Stark VARG against it 😂

[@MalteSpieltYT]

Chris is a madman driving his bike like that

[@purwantiallan5089]

Chris unleashed his "Inner Antonio Cairoli 2021" Mode.

[@chobiden7770]

dude has skills

[@yousefbarkawi5628]

Not sure if you caught the very end where he mentioned he didn’t even have a front brake. Would’ve been crazy with a front brake but without one.. insanity.

[@steffenchristmas1987]

Proper skilled rider Chris. Saw a good Bike World vid on KZbin with him ripping about on his KTM 950 LC8 Rally!

[@nxawillo]

[@promisenteh2065]

that ambulance scene when Chris asks Mat "Will he live?" got me rolling.

[@milinddixit6583]

😂 I loved the lack of care in the response as well... "I dunno"

[@unknownslayer0082]

Crazy we almost lost Sam 😂 this by far the best one off road in my opinion

[@purwantiallan5089]

And also simply epic btw.

[@infamouswan]

That ambulance scene 😂😂😂😂😂

[@purwantiallan5089]

Ambulance scene is absolutely bibilical! 😂

[@JayanandSupali]

When I saw the thumbnail image I was like, the bike doesn't have a chance against that beast of a 4 wheel drive machine. But Chris was bloody good and I was gasping during some parts of the video. He is an Absolute Mad Lad!!! Total Respect for him. Purely shows that mad skills can beat engineering.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The thumbnail alone already looked nice.😂

[@bigduphusaj162]

You do realise a Motocross bike would spank any offroad 4 wheeler? like litteraly lap it within a few laps. There is nothing that can beat a dirt bike offroad they are the upper boundary. Its no suprise a superbike is good offroad either as back when the R1 first came out Steve Hislop done a comedy vid of him taking one for a testride with the salesman on the back😂 He was doing 170mph with the dude on the back then he jumped it down stairs and went on a short offroad track with the guy on the back absolutely bricking it hahaha. He nearly fell off about 5 times. Late 90s nobody gave a F

[@chrishart8548]

​@bigduphusaj162 I find it strange they are using a fully off road 4wd vehicle vs a sports bike with a few mods. The bike here can barely get 40hp down never mind 140hp I'm surprised how much traction the Bridgestone AX41 is getting as its not really a full off road tyre at all.

[@tanmaygirotra2724]

Sam coming like a kid 8:26 and saying oww was so innocent

[@purwantiallan5089]

Sam enjoyed this a lot, man.😅

[@thripnixe]

So no one gonna talk about Sam's ability to handle any car thats given to him, not just bikes

[@elikerr785]

The guys who mob these superbikes off-road are savages... I don't think anyone who's not ridden a superbike ON road, or a dirt bike OFF road, could even grasp how wildly difficult (and different) they are in their own right. So being able to manage that GSXR1k off road like that takes some serious skills and balls! Cheers

[@chrishart8548]

I've ridden a sports bike off road it's terrifying. the geometry is completely off and over bumps it tries to just throw you off. Wonder we they didn't get a different top yolk and fit some pro taper handlebars.

[@sandangcobo2154]

The very 1st ever if not rarerest drag race withou Mat being contender

[@theraildynasty_]

Maybe due to him getting dirty because of all the muck present on the course also both vehicles being open with no doors.......

[@dri4nr4dit37]

​@@theraildynasty_Probably that and also, if you don't know what you're doing, it could be really dangerous. Sam has a lot of experience racing cars, and Chris (probably) knows his own bike

[@theraildynasty_]

@@dri4nr4dit37 true

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@dri4nr4dit37imagine if Jeffrey Herlings join in Carwow Offroad Drag Battle also.

[@raheemmustapher]

This was the best episode from a long time, lots of fun and craziness. LOVE IT! Still waiting for Mat vs Yianni bicycle drag race!

[@haydenspencer2024]

First vid of him not in a vehicle

[@purwantiallan5089]

First video of 2024 actually that he not inside of a vehicle.

[@Kshitij-fw7bh]

The ambulance sequence made me crack up.

[@samkothari9029]

The best off-road challenge i have seen 😂

[@Sandro-ss1st]

I had a stupid grin on my face the whole time. 😂

[@purwantiallan5089]

Well that made all of the crucial differences.😅

[@piuthemagicman]

This is the best Carwow video I've ever watched, been watching for 5 years. Chris was pure talent no question 💪 Also loved the comedy and rivalry between Sam & Chris!

[@Abdullah-Alamoudi]

One of the best episodes 👍👍👍. So BRAVE of you Chris attempting the 4 point hill. Sam is lovely as usual 😁, and matt is MATT ❤.

[@mathongolamani8733]

This was fun for Sam , the dramatic ambulance scene takes the cup 😂🏆😂

[@jazzurected]

Omg, this one is the best so far. This is how YT videos should look like. Pure skill and joy - what a race. Well done, lads, well done! 🙌

[@RandomVideosFirst]

I drove the Polaris RZR in the desert in dubai , absolutely amazing 4x4 buggy

[@hassyg4083]

might have to buy one got no desert here though

[@purwantiallan5089]

Polaris RZR Buggy shaped very similarly to the Buggy from MAD RIDERS, a sequel from Nail'd on PS3.

[@rcchronicles25]

This was great, and I loved the format of matt presenting 👍

[@mariostephenson2528]

This was a really fun video. I enjoyed every minute of it, thumbs ups👍 I really love this channel.

[@africar4592]

This video got me all smiles from start to finish.. Great work from Chris and Sam

[@ereinaldy20]

this is the best DRAG RACE content ever !!

[@niged]

Great video. Brilliant riding by Chris on a old superbike with nobbly tyres on! How about doing it again and letting Chris ride an Adventure bike designed for off road!

[@chrishart8548]

That would make things way to easy. I think the bike needs a more aggressive rear tyre than the AX41 it 50/50 at best

[@cats4hir3]

Props to these legends. Mad lads

[@johngraham6506]

So much fun to watch!

[@FPLExpression]

Another great video 😂, really enjoyed this one

[@651amit]

Love it when CarWow going offroad!! please give us more videos like it!

[@jenishpatel4241]

This was the one of the most enjoyable video love it

[@Rahul_Rao_001]

One of the best video's ever from Carwow , love to see Matt driving one of those🔥🔥

[@DrMcMoist]

This was fantastic. Very entertaining.

[@christophecamus8410]

Mad race , thanks for the super fun video 😮😮😮

[@636Knight]

What a fun watch. Thanks CarWow!

[@uchennagodwill7762]

Love this race, so fun. Props to Matt for being an awesome presenter.

[@jamesblade4349]

that bike and that rider, just one thing to say IT IS A MUST to have him in the videos its just utter amazement

[@edfenders926]

Please shoot more content like this with more people with different machinery. Absolute joy. Thanks!

[@dnvyl]

I mean, driving a buggy with four tyres and the commitment of Sam is already impressive enough, but doing it on two and with a bike that is nowhere near optimal for those conditions is just nuts

[@barryrose4850]

Your best video’s have Chris in them, many more please 🏁

[@KingToeBean]

A little surface change, I love it.❤️

[@mattjohnson0718]

I would really enjoy more videos like these these type of videos are so much fun to watch at least for me even more than the usual stuff

[@fitz1114]

Matt you guys are too much, loving this..

[@ArulinySivakumar]

This is the first time I've ever heard the mat's voice in start , after all these years

[@cajetano2011]

more of these !

[@rosetheblackcat]

I love the offroad videos! I'm looking to get another dirt bike right now

[@geffers001]

Keep it up with the off road videos they are really entertaining

It’s great to see more 2 wheel action. Be great if the review videos could involve them too Matt. (And Chris) Quality viewing that!

[@leoeletzhofer8327]

Good to see some bike content good video 👍🏻

[@georgeofthejungle6095]

That was really good fun, thanks 👍

[@athishkirthik2440]

@mat this is best of the best off road race you ever made.. couldn’t take my eye balls out of this video for a sec.. nice one.. good luck to Sam and Chris

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Chris is extremely skilled to go that fast on a superbike in the mud...

[@TwinTailsRyu]

this was nuts! great vid 😂

This is my favorite carwow video

[@samsun694]

Amazing race 🔥❤

[@everett393]

Love the change up!

[@braddeerrzz]

This was a phenomenal watch, the production value felt higher, we need head to heads like this on tarmac too, autocross style with slaloms and set routes - amazing content

[@chrishart8548]

Can put the gsxr back to normal for the tarmac

[@braddeerrzz]

@@chrishart8548 maybe not cars vs bikes with autocross, I ride a gsxr and I know I'm not beating a miata round an auto cross course 🤣

[@adamnowak1866]

The Off-road series is by far the best, and this video is just proof of that. Can't wait for more

[@PandA-yx5ne]

Superb. Definatly should be more between Chris and Sam like this.

[@maaz_a_siddiqui02]

Loved every second of this video ❤😂

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Chris is an absolute legend and an honest, humble man. Well done.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great video!

[@adamhassan6301]

One of the BEST drag races ever!!!

such an wholesome video

[@andresroelalvarado5943]

This was an awesome race or video or whatever the 2 drivers o racers are nuts 😂😂

Thanks guys. Need more of the same.

[@SilverSniper75]

As a fellow rider; tip of the hat to Chris! Great stuff!!

[@juanpablozawadzki306]

Great and funny video. Well done Carwow

[@cheesysteaks9377]

this surely had to be the best episode of offroad races

[@tonytg9099]

Props to whoever edits this show...smooth operator...

[@SuperWolffie]

This is like Topgear 2.0 ...but than no script. Just go....love it. This was one of the best guys....

[@ez_isnice396]

OMG! this looks so fun

[@Radiation_76]

Loved this video especially that scene with Sam😂

[@igorr4682]

Best video so far !

[@magnusandersen8898]

Chris is an absolute legend! Unbelievable he made it up that hill

[@Elie_sibai]

I love these kind of videos in my opinion it's more fun than drag race.

[@Hazeoflemons]

Cool episode!

[@thembasibeko1784]

At the second challenge Matt forgot to stop the timer really??😂😂

[@AmberStent]

29k 🤨😱 never the less video was fabulous

[@hathimsahil7380]

Best video of all time 🔥🔥

[@ahmadfahrurrodji9128]

Thats so fun i hope u can make like this again with another vehicle

[@T-revMoto]

Need to have Chris on a proper dirtbike if we're using proper off-road SXS... But it is hilarious watching him on that GSX-R
