[@outdoorzone]

I appreciate your professional opinion! I love my XX! Hope to bring it to you all to get shocks updated sometime. Thanks as always! You guys rock!!!

[@dmwi1549]

I know this is over a year old but as someone looking to get off bikes and into a SXS your experience and willingness to answer all these questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks for posting. I’ll be looking for a more updates.

Outstanding gentlemen! To have the advantage of your knowledge and the years it took to accumulate, is priceless! You have generously given a continent of knowledge sparing the bs. This is the most real, direct and educational video I've seen. Well done sir! Thank you for your kindness and vast knowledge in your field of expertise.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

You sir are too kind. Thank you and we are glad to help!

[@joshowens2219]

[@boblandry6721]

YES great narration for sure!!! Yes I saw the out come.....I own a KTM 200XC-W, Polaris Razor 1000XP Highlifter, and Skidoo MXZ X-RS 850. Snowmobiles have so much power and they weigh less than 500 lbs. Acceleration is just incredible....In a drag race they pretty much beat everything else because they hook up so well. Yes great video!

[@teufel314]

This is what it means when someone says somebody is an expert in their field. The kind of guy that if you took your UTV in to have it worked on, you know he is going to tell you exactly what needs to be done, and it will work perfectly.

[@mickperfect8692]

I keep watching this video. A+

[@Thornsberry13]

Love the honesty guys! Thanks a ton

[@650ic6]

It’s not his honesty it’s his opinion. The opinions are strictly based on suspension.

[@GT4JB]

Very objective and extremely fair reviews. Waiting for end of year 2020 deals to upgrade from my 2016 XPT, thx guys

[@richardarthur5994]

Great video ! I own a 2020 Talon X and love it . We knew the ride was iffy but for a majority of our riding trails and exploring we are fine with it . We inadvertently solved the issue with our Back Roads tailgate and spare tire mount . Would love to have the shocks reworked in time when money allows .

[@wesr4383]

Holy Ads seriously, is it really necessary to have that many!

[@rphe2829]

Outstanding video answered a lot of questions I had

[@jamiseclipse]

I’d love to have a video similar to this but just for 4 seaters. We just rented 2, rzr 1000 stock vehicles in Ouray Colorado and did Imogene pass, Yankee boy basin and Governor basin. We fell in love with the concept and it is so much better than exploring in our Toyota landcruiser. Family of 5, mom and dad are adrenaline junkies. Thanks! Just found your channel and you guys are awesome!!

[@justinfee819]

This was a great video appreciate your honesty on all the utvs

[@Defect_VR]

Finally!!! The video to end my search before pulling the trigger on buying a sxs! If only woods ridding was mentioned(will be doing alot of ridding at Hatfield and McCoy's) I still thank you for the information shared!

[@bantam5507]

Did you end up getting a sxs? I'm looking at a honda talon 1000x or a krx for sure, I do the same type of riding.

[@leprechaunmafia]

I was looking at the talon as well. Especially since it has the turbo upgrade

[@Thornsberry13]

I went with pro xp ultimate. We ride H&M/ outlaw as well. My brother got the krx & loves it. I love the agility of the pro xp personally

[@itsonvideo]

Heard people are starting to have some weird issues with Talons losing reverse going in and out of gears etc so do your research.

[@leprechaunmafia]

I haven't seen that yet, but heard you need to update the air intake, it doesn't have a great turning radius, but I love that there's no belts

[@alanstillwell4644]

Good to see that Chase dude still behind the lense lol!

[@ianpinkerton267]

hey im in australia, we dont have the following here like you guys there, but i have myself the older commander. im looking to upgrade and watching your video is very helpful as there is no bias. thanks for your insite.

[@trevorhoward7423]

Nice video love the input, great looking clean shop. Remember safety first forks down 😎

[@gagesmith3146]

I have a Talon R that I bought in September. Three weeks ago, I was ready to get rid of it in favor of another Polaris (Ive had four). I decided to "roll the dice" with a shock and spring package from shock therapy, hoping I was not throwing good money after bad. I picked it up a week ago from Shock Therapy but I was headed back to my home in Northern Nevada. I didn;t have a chance to give a test until yesterday... I am once again happy with the ride. We do a lot of trail/dirt roads on ghost town trips and the slower speed stuff on the R was flat awful. My initial ride yesterday was positive. I'm going to keep it. Good Job Shock Therapy.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Thank you for your report. I am super happy that you like the changes we made. Have fun with it!

[@eduardodedios8213]

Do you still have your Talon? What’s your opinion on that car,? I’m planning on getting one for the kids since I want it as reliable as possible and it will be their first sxs

[@Coys_Garage]

This video really helped me make my decision on my first side-by-side purchase. I’ve been in rails and off-road most of my life but you guys should really make a video on beginner/entry-level stuff and recommendations for mods and set up on recommended cars.

[@martywilkinson6722]

Outstanding informative video. Thank you very much!

[@shirolee]

The wealth of information! Please do more videos like this on maybe specific models? Thank you

[@michaelwoodfield5127]

I appreciate the honest input. Just ordered my 2020 RZR XP 4 Turbo S and will looking for more great advise from you and the Shock Therapy Team!

[@Allinoffroad]

This was fantastic!!!!!!!

[@escapeorion3741]

Thanks for this informative video Helped me make a decision on what machine to order for my son and I

[@seastacker8582]

Glad to hear the positive Polaris General feedback. I have a g4 and shock therapy made it beyond awesome. Sold me that suspension should be the first mod hands down.

[@jokerlt1z]

Sea stacker what shock or spring package did you purchase from shock therapy and do you think it would make a real improvement on Colorado trails? Thank you

[@seastacker8582]

Josh Hartman I got the stage 2 with springs and internals. It was part of a bigger project for me, but for any future projects it will be in my top 3 mods. Never thought shocks could make a machine so much better. I’ve never ridden Colorado, but I’ve ridden hatfield McCoy, Michigan and Tennessee (royal blue and windrock) and cant imagine a scenario where they wouldn’t make a huge improvement.

[@waxmanvids5015]

impressed by Justins knowledge and professionalism.

[@drwinlied]

awesome vid. Looking into a smaller sxs. Maybe a trail or up to a 64"W at most. Was hoping to find some info there but given that you guys don't do much for woods/tight trails...I'll just appreciate the useful facts I got watching this, regardless. Thank you.

[@zanelucas512]

Just picked up a turbo s velocity and don’t regret it one bit. So built

[@clydeberthold12]

Thanks for the informative video..i was on the fence between YXZ and X3..Now I see that X3 more bang for your buck...

Thanks for the good info .my wife said she's never seen me take notes before .😁

Great info thanks for the honesty

[@rwilliams4222]

Awesome info as I am confused as to which one to buy!!! Also loved the taco question

[@reymundocastro87]

I would like to go take a tour and learn more about this fun activity I come from quads and sport bikes this is the 1st time I ever owned a side-by-side and I love the XP pro and this is coming from somebody that's Kawasaki kid all the time I always rode callus saki till his day I still represented

[@evanperez557]

Some legit advice! Thanks

[@bhen2753]

Wow! Cool video! Loved all the info!

[@B86432]

need to do an update video for the currently new 2022/23/24 models would be greatly appreciated by many your wisdom is very helpful

[@outthedoorlife]

This was a very insightful video. I have watched the follow up regarding the benefits of and what makes the KRX suspension better than most out of the box (geometry). I am shopping for my first SxS, a significant purchase, and I am torn between Polaris, Can-Am and the Kawasaki. Each model I am drawn to is very attractive for certain features. I like the low profile, power and sound from the X3. I like the accessories of the Polaris and their General model. I like the look of the KRX and your point that it has a very good suspension without need for much work. I like the plug and play capability for lighting, options that Polaris and Can-Am have... Kawasaki not so much. I like a roomier seat, a more reclined seating position and comfort in a unit that is fun as well as one that I will not have to mod out in order to make it reliable. In my area, trails, wooded areas, hunting etc are part of recreation life as well as a small amount of utility. I'm also interested in something that I can put an complete enclosure on for Fall temps... would prefer that I could buy it from factory that way. Thanks for the great information, I am nowhere close to deciding what to buy however. ;)

[@jasonissel217]

I just recently started thinking of 4 wheeling again, I used to ride with a club for a tiny while in 2003-2004, but I didn't have the money for the Jeep or Truck. I'd love to own a UTV, and I know for a fact it will never happen, but it's a nice daydream. I like the Polaris RZR XP 4 Turbo: 2 seater.

[@showmemorefunthings9208]

Great video! Did the Fox Live Valve shocks help the Talon stiffness issues?

[@kungfucommando1642]

Bought a new RZR RS1 last night. Cant wait to take it out this weekend.

[@fsh4204]

OMG finally I wanted a tech savvy guy in the industry to confirm my average General plans and he did. Done deed that will be my purchase.

[@xcit]

I sold my 2020 turbo s. Just got the KRX so much happier. I dont race so that isnt a factor. Comfort, room, looks, shifting into gear way smoother, throttle response for rock crawler way better, passenger seat adjustable, bead locks. I love this thing. Which I would have done this fromt he start would have saved 10k. If I want more power they have a turbo that brings it to 174 hp which is more the the rzr.

[@traxfan32]

Great info! I subbed!

[@jaronco]

I have watched this video now literally 10 times over last couple months. TONS OF GREAT INFO! Thank you all. One Choice FOR EAST COAST CAR - No whoops / Rocks-Trails-Mud-Hill Climbs Whats your choice 64" car and your choice 72" car? Keep up the great work!

[@ShockTherapyllc]

64. Lots of trails are restricted there. Also with tight terrain a narrow car would be ideal.

[@aaron44ornelas]

Thank you i am in the market for one of these. This video really helped out.

[@chapsteronetime2000]

Great one here guys! Honest as it gets I appreciate every once of it thx keep it coming

[@chadshumaker2789]

Really nice getting the straight info on the machines like that. It also pretty well aligns with my experience in the machines I have driven on that list. A suggestion for topics- Must have items for X3, Pro XP. Also another topic would be building a race car (desert style, XC style and Short course style) what is needed /what is different?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

great ideas. We will work on those. Thank you

[@acdc374]

Interesting take on the Talon! I noticed that was an R, do you have the same opinions on the X as well? The sxsblog guys here in Michigan have been loving both of them

[@peterw2714]

I do love this video watched a couple times but I’m hoping shock therapy can do a new one with the newer machines.

[@edwardcote1331]

when you talk about the talon,do you consider both the x and the r to both have the same suspension issues?

[@darylmolander4787]

Great video with excellent info.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Daryl Molander thank you!

[@wiserswhiskies]

Excellent video, wish I had of seen it before I bought my talon x, what do you think of the rear suspension, as it’s different than the R

[@mulhallrj]

I have a wiring question. When wiring accessories to the cage, do you run wires through your cage or run them externally?

[@HYEonDEATHROW]

This was great.

[@patflinn5224]

[@AllHoursHeatingAir]

Great Video...I just purchased the 2020 x3 xrs max turbo rr. What are some things that you guys do to beef them up? You mentioned bulk head and double shear plates. What else? Thank you.

[@christieman4001]

Recommendations for an older 4 seat family vehicle that works for all terrain moderately well (rock crawling-Rubicon Trail, woods, Baja-just touring, dunes-ability to get to the tops). What mods to look for in a ride selling under$15k?

[@joeyschultz3774]

btw the krx does have a after market turbo system for it so would love to see that on the krx I’m a big Kawasaki fan
