Nothing more confidence inspiring than crossing an on-camber roadside ditch at 25mph and you cant even fell it! These things are incredible! No words for the suspension on the rxr xp series. Thanks for reciewing all these sweet machines

[@Ryan-lt2nh]

Weirdly been difficult to find out some straight forward answers on this stuff. Thanks for making it easy, good vid!

[@jesselax1406]

I went from an 18 XPT and bought the base pro just 3 months ago I’ve put right at 1100 miles on it and I have not had the slightest hick up with my machine. They aren’t joking when these guys use “confidence inspiring” it is one hell of a machine!

[@dirttraxtv]

Great news!! Thanks for sharing. There seem to be some haters commenting so it is nice to hear some positive comments from an owner.

My dealer sold my matrix assault for me and I just bought a pro xp premium instead, haven't ridden it much but I used to have a x3 xrs and so far I'd say the pro rides better, my x3 was a 2017 154hp one. Hp feels very similar and I can definitely feel the weight of the xp.

If they are it's news to us, but we'd love to see it! I would assume there may be a 3 cylinder RZR motor coming. Actually I'd be shocked if we didn't see a modular engine with fitment across many Polaris lines in the very near future similar to the ACE motors from Rotax. ~AJ

[@jasoncrocker4289]

This is just a Polaris commercial and not a real review. I’m a Polaris fan and am on my 5th RZR. Any of the info presented can easily be found on the Polaris website. How about put some miles on it and see what issues you had and what you liked and didn’t. How about the tender springs that collapse? How about the flex in the primary towers causing clutches to grenade? How about the charge tubes being soft and collapsing? How about the wheel bearings popping? I could go on and on. A bunch of issues have been addressed on the 21 models. I just don’t see how this review helps the consumer at all. There are way better reviews out there. Congrats on not calling it a 1000 pro this tine though

[@dirttraxtv]

Sounds like those are issues YOU experienced. We did not. Unfortunate that you didn't like the review, but appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch though.

[@jasoncrocker4289]

Dirt Trax TV appreciate the reply. I am curious about how many miles you out on to complete the review. I don’t know anyone that has a 2020 pro that has put in at least 500km that doesn’t have at least one of the aforementioned issues

[@dirttraxtv]

@@jasoncrocker4289 Your not wrong in your assumption that we don't put on huge miles, it's physically impossible for us to put on 2000-3000 miles per vehicle due to the amount of vehicles we test but we do put them through their paces and I assume put on more miles quicker than the average consumer. Our rigs usually get 4-800 miles put on in the first few weeks. Those miles are not easy miles and many times break in is backing off the trailer and its WOT and beating on them non stop. We have a total of 720 miles on the turbo and I'm honestly really impressed with how it's stood up. You're welcome to come check the springs, clutches, charge tubes, wheel bearings and anything else you have mentioned, they aren't an issue here. I'll be happy to address issues if we experience them. We even put on significantly larger tires for a tire test and pounded the life outta them, no issues at all. It's unfortunate you think it's just a Polaris commercial but honestly the only thing I'll say I can complain about is the fitment of door plastics after bumping a tree, and truthfully thats our fault. Even the radio antenna is still on, and I figured it would be the first to go. If we experience issues, we talk about them, as of right now with more miles being put on daily we have no issues. Would be interesting though to know how many of the folks grenading clutches, crushing charge tubes and popping wheel bearings are running non factory tunes and asking more than Polaris designed them for, I'll bet it's the majority. ~AJ

[@jasoncrocker4289]

Dirt Trax TV thanks for the reply I appreciate the honesty and taking the time. I do enjoy your program a lot. I guess being a Polaris guy and owning a new machine every year I put in a ton of miles but it’s very focused to one machine. I am a part of all the RZR pages so I read lots of the common issues with these machines but you are also probably very correct with aftermarket tunes etc being a contributing factor with some of the common issues. I am just waiting for my 21 XP4 Pro Ultimate to come in as we speak. Polaris has addressed many of the common issues from 20 which is great that they focus greatly on feedback from the customers. Again though, I appreciate the reply and continue to be a fan of the show

[@KTMcaptain]

You’re absolutely right. Reviewers on KZbin are hardly ever critical of products. They lack journalistic integrity and simply parrot whatever they’re told. It’s sad. . At the beginning they actually say it has 22” of wheel travel, but that’s not true. It has 17” front and 20” rear per their website. They claim up to 22” of rear useable travel which isn’t a whee travel measurement... “*Usable Travel is measured, with the vehicle in full droop, from the bottom of the tire to the bottom of the skid plate.” . If they can’t even do basic research how can you expect a thorough review... you can’t. They’re just an extension of their marketing arm hiding under the straw man of them not having enough miles on it. Then call it an over view not a review. . They’re unethical. It’s actually illegal to receive goods and services for a review and not disclose it, but where do they say Polaris loaned them units so they can make a profit of views? That if they tell the truth and actually review the product objectively they’ll be uninvited from this revenue stream in the future? . Then they get defensive when you call them out on it 🤣 As if we’re the unethical ones. No, we are pointing out what they failed to and trying to hold them accountable.

[@MONSTERDAN24]

Crazy that I come to see the reviews and the first thing that popped up was an AD about the safety lawsuits and fires against Polariz. What to do what to do 😵‍💫

[@dirttraxtv]

Yup, even lawyers can target their ad placements. Not much we can do about that.

They well never do entry level consumer products. They are sponsored by big hitters worth that $$$$$$ they are waiting for dirttraxx to put a spotlight on and talk up cherry coat and push no PROXP ULTIMATE edition rzr's. And the majority of people like me and you who buy $7000 Honda ranchers get the back burner. i can tell you I have a Rancher and wouldn't trade it for anything. it is so nimble light easy too use and alot of fun, goes anywhere from the factory. Get it.

[@WeekendWarriors87]

@@High_Octane I always laugh when people make comments like this. These are as much about reviewing products as they are entertainment. Im watching this and will never buy a proxp, im a can am guy, but I watch it because im into this stuff and think its cool. Most of their views are people like me, so showing off overpriced quads that are a decade old that are easily outclassed by others (can am L series, yamahas, etc,) for similar price wont get people to watch. Showing off huge HP high dollar rigs with every option is cool and fun to watch. If you want more technical, watch ATVonDemand, although they dont review too many work quads either.

[@Whoareyou69420]

High Octane thanks for the info it helps

[@High_Octane]

@@Whoareyou69420 yeah man no problem. I have a 2020 and the new racks are very nice as is the added little storage at the front rack. it's stays dry. My dad has a Susuki Kingquad 500 and they are close in speed excpet the very top end. he gets me a little bit. but the rancher has tons of power as long as as you dont put on huge tires. it functions best factory size. It's also a very god handling quad compared to the suzuki as the suzuki feels top heavy and the Honda has Lower center of gravity and feels very stable Cheers!!

[@High_Octane]

@@gregrowe1168 than dont compete with 700cc quads with the honda and enjoy it for what its worth, Personally i feel like the chassis would be unbalanced and even dangerous with more power. Hondas are their own breed and i wouldnt ride anything else for the exploration type riding that i do. very good power to weight ratio and i ride a 420cc. the 520 would be insane.

Polaris has to concentrate more on reliability than bling! Let’s see what the cost of ownership is 3 years down the road. I know most of the 3 plus year RzR’s around here are money pits.
