RZR TURBO VS. MAVERICK TURBO

Click the THUMBS UP button!
Dirt Trax Television Co-Host Luke Lester takes on two on the industry’s turbo pure sport side-x-sides and pits the Polaris RZR XP Turbo against the Can-Am Maverick Turbo in this good ol’ fashioned shootout!

[@kylestewart8354]

impressive review. but taking what you said, my personal choice would be the Can AM. I want MY money's worth. I don't go through extreme suspension trails wide open or huge jumps so your nods to polaris for that I'm sure is correct, but I won't ever find the limit on anything this radical. can am gives you a tricked out machine. those add ons would cost you 2 grand atleast for the polaris. I work hard for my money, and I want all the goodies from the factory. great fit and finish,plus just as fast as the XP makes the Maverick the right machine for me. thx

[@clm652]

No one cares.

[@Infamouscoma885]

[@njm1251]

I'd have to say I couldn't say it any better..

[@HessianForHire]

Fair points, you know you don't need to RZR so no point in paying extra. Me personally, I just prefer it even though I'd rarely max it out.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Good show Luke. I think its greatly appreciated when you guys confront things you dont like. Sometimes reviews seem more like a advertisement. This was a fair and excellent review. Good job

[@ethanpiercey2635]

awesome review, iv been waiting for this one since both of there machines came out

[@TrailRider]

Great review guys. Very balanced and I must say I agree with your conclusions as I just bought an XP1000 even though I'm a Can Am guy.

[@ruyguy8888]

Very good review and episode here guys. I sometimes have a hard time with the "VS." series and heres why. I don't truly believe there is a "standard" to what would be built for these vehicles. If there was, everything would look the same, have the same suspension travel, same Hp rating for engine class and run the same set of stock shoes around the rims. You guys would be testing on how well each company brings together those elements and gets their designs as close to a "standard" as they can, and its also why we have manufacturers pushing the limits of their designs to outperform the competition. With that being said, after listening intently to your reviews on each, and looking at the way these units are built, I always seem to come to the same conclusion "its all about personal application" If to choose between the two, the one things that stands out the most is the difference in the height of the roll cages are and how much more nimble one is over the other. Where I ride, tight and narrow woods trails, the Maverick has way more of an advantage over the XP. The difference in suspension would be a compromise if i can maneuver the rig through the woods without having to back up 100 times on a run. If I where to ride the majority of the trails where i could cruse at a higher speed is called for and more open areas to run, Id take the XP all day long. All in all, Im broke and can't even imagination dropping a 22K price tag on these machines here in Canada. Ill stay fixing my old, high mileage grizzly 660 until the motor seizes. Thanks again for the episode.

lol get a rzr 800 or something I've got a 800s

[@elli003]

I compared both again just 2 mos. ago. Sand Hollow and Kanab. I have to say I almost fell out of my chair laughing when you said the X3 was less ergonomic and because of the seats would bring greater fatigue than the XP 1000. In the Polaris the outside of my knees were banging on the panels, my upright position was more fatiguing, even with more stops over a 6 hr. period of riding Hog Canyon 1,2 and 4, and Upper Barracks. At Sand Hollow I took the X3 through the paces on the flat dirt trails by Hurricane fault, S-turns, Razzle Dazzle slick rock, more S turns then down Sand Mountain to the lake and parallel to hwy 7 in the Whoops. Except for jumping and getting big air, or crawling ridiculous rock crawling grades, the X3 is a clear winner by my trials, and is far more comfortable.

[@dapipelinerfrommo.5506]

Nice review Dirt Trax..I didn't hear anything about the Can-Am 4 x 4 system.. Has it been improved and is it now on par with polaris? What about the heat generated and displaced by the Can-Am engine and CVT due to location? Has that been abated or minimalized from earlier models?? Without a doubt those are the 2 largest complaints I hear why people choose or swap to the Polaris here in so. missouri and north arkansas. Lets hear the DT analysis on those 2 areas...

[@njm1251]

one of my favorite episodes..great reviews..I love can am but there's no denying Polaris makes a mean machine

[@sethsmith6956]

[@derekdreke4990]

I also kinda agree on the money for value deal. These things should already have speakers in them and tons of accessories. I do like that about the Can Am. Or if anything like hey there is a allowance of what you can pick type package for the accessories that you want. For these prices they should already have winches and radios built-in. Both sweet machines tho especially those duals on the Can Am 🤘

How do you find sludgehammer ? Do you know if they will fit the commander in 30". Is sludgehammer as good as the Gorilla Silverback Tire in deep mud ? I travel a lot alone in mud no trees to hook winch on so I need the best mud tire . I use bighorns on hard pack . I use 2 sets of wheels .

I want the polaris but with can-am's build quality and reliability.

I have a 2006 Scrambler and it works perfectly fine (used also) but I also have another one which has problems (used too). And a Polaris Outlaw 450, just needs a new spark plug, and starter (also used too).

Yup, hasn't even been introduced yet though.

[@mikeymilligan850]

Thank you

[@ReelinTension]

So my question is by today standards who makes the more reliable machine?

[@FunkMasterJunk]

The difference in power is the engine type. In-line vs V-Twin. There is less H.P , but more bottom end Torque, less top-end.

[@dustinjohnson1236]

Is polaris making a 2017 xp turbo? it's not on their website or didn't say anything at the unveil of all other 2017 stuff. are they waiting to fix the recall issue?

[@dirttraxtv]

Once the advisory has been sorted out we expect to see the turbo line back on the Polaris website. I do not think Polaris would abandon this avenue.

[@ryantershner3110]

[@425j1]

Yea take the rzr everytime. Oh wait you cant because they have a stop ride/sale on them for recalls. Ive owned both a 2013 xrs maverick and a 2015 xp 1000. The Polaris lacks a lot of refinement and quality. They have poor customer service, usually parts are on backorder. Machine shows wear very quickly, squeaks, creaks, bushings and bearings wearing out fast. The maverick just isn't the jumper and lacks that one step of sportiness that the rzr has. But it holds together and ages a lot better, doesn't have all the noises like creaking, pops, squeaks, etc that the rzr is gonna have. Put it this way, I sold my maverick because I wanted to try something else. I sold the rzr because I was afraid I was gonna start having problems with it.

[@Jarhead1313]

Which is the most dependable for just mild trail riding through dirt trails and ankle deeps creeks with your wife or little girl? I'm on the fence between the xp1000 and the Maverick XDS1000 at my local dealership. I can get a brand New non turbo Xp1000 for $15,799 before taxes or I can get a 2016 Maverick XDS turbo 1000 showroom condition with 152 miles out the door for a little under $15,000 after taxes. I don't plan to be bashing it and tearing it all to Hell through mud, hills, and jumps but if I'm by myself and decide to let loose a little bit I want something dependable that's not going to be going through belts every other day... which would be my best bet?

[@rodjos5463]

where's the turbo cat in this lineup?

[@ReDNeckRoY]

Where on that RZR does it say XP 1000 Turbo? You guys need to understand that the XP 1000 and then the XPT or two different cars. The XP 1000 has 110 horsepower and is 999cc. The xpt which is the XP turbo is 925 CC and has 168 horsepower. Major difference. Not to mention suspension and clutching and a few other things.

both awesome machines. if you want mud running and trails can am is awesome. if you want to climb things and go through rocky terrain and great on trails Polaris. if you have ever owned a can am product you will agree the visco differential sucks...

If you're wondering where I have it right now it is in my garage broken because I'm not going to spend another $1,500+ more on it for it just to break again. Really looking forward to how the Maverick is going to perform. Oh yeah. And the rims on the rzr do suck I have popped the wheel out while jumping and doing donuts twice.
