FRESH UNIT BATTLE! RMax vs Commander vs General! Jumps!

[@SXSBlog]

Based on this video... which one are you choosing? Comment below

[@drealist5580]

Do a John Deer

[@jtron1991]

About time. I was about to call uncle chet and tell him yall be slackin.

[@theglitch99]

Frank's gloves!!!

[@Cgny]

I’d go commander and add the sound system of my choice

[@dextershouse9012]

General

[@justinpepper2373]

Those retro snowmobile jackets are priceless.

[@7kzone]

Kinda want one now 😂

[@dr.weirdbeard2840]

KINDA!?!?! I been looking online haha

[@superhawk20002]

I dont have a single thing you guys play with -> no side by sides, no snowmobiles, not much of anything anymore but a motorcycle... BUT I love the fun you guys have and how much you all laugh with and at each other. I drag my girlfriend and others into watching some of your antics. Just wanted to say THANK YOU.

[@prestongroeneveld9257]

Been watching you guys from the beginning. Gotta say, you’re doing a better job every time with machine comparisons. Trying to choose a sxs is very difficult since there are no ways of actually test driving one. Im sure your video’s are helping a lot of people. Keep it up guys👍

[@SXSBlog]

Pretty wild you can test drive any piece of junk $3000 car but you spend $30000 on a sxs and you can’t even start it up before buying lol

[@Yz4Life]

@@SXSBlogthat’s BS!!!!!

[@MassiveOverkill]

All the manufacturers actually have demo rides throughout the country where you can if fact test the units on the trail. Usually they'll coincide with off road events. Also keep in mind that not everyone that wants to test a unit is a responsible adult and have the car rental mentality.

[@rickterrill723]

Only place that let me drive one were the owners of a dealership I personally knew. I got my ass chewed for firing one up at a big dealer in Madison. I asked why they leave the key in them then?

[@bradwies4036]

Englehardts?

[@josephhester4188]

You dudes killed this review, I really hope it keeps going like this every couple years or so. Great job!

[@petermccann2561]

Love my Rmax4-dunes, rocks, mud, altitude...she eats, and does it comfortably. Installing a better sparky made a noticeable difference in power and temps. Yamaha loves to cork up a motor. R Max is set up for trails, not short course, and that's what I bought it for. Short wheel base is important for a trail machine, and big power isn't worth lesser reliability, when you're back country solo. I pulled the rear seats, and a 30" spare lays nice and flat in the bed, keeping weight low, with plenty of room left over for backcountry camping excursions. A little dynamat under the engine lid helps w noise & heat. Coming from a '21 YXZ SS SE, the R Max is the trail King! The YXZ was happiest in sand, or at Tex Plex. I carry a spare, not belts. :)

[@pc6uru]

I own the RMax 4 seater, after seeing this, I'd still pick it. Easiest to flick around in the tighter trails and switchbacks on the mountains. I run it with the front swaybar disconnected.

[@tylermk]

I also have rmax4 and would still pick it for the tight woods trails where I live .

[@demwillams8898]

When I was shopping for my sxs, we looked hard at the build quality and general beefiness on the components, especially the suspension and steering. The rmax was leagues ahead of the others in that regard. Of course, that was just looks and not on trail but that rmax looked to be built like a tank.

[@chuco425]

I think a lot of what happened with the R-Max is the tires. Extra traction showed the body roll (however I did see the canam 3 wheel around the tree). Tires are probably the reason it made less power on the dyno

[@RSBully.z]

Yup 100% witch they should of considered in the comparison.

[@robertjones9341]

I really liked when you test drove, riding together, on trails with live commentary in the past. Hilarious and informative at the same time. Also interaction live with significant others when trail riding. Enjoyed this one, would've liked to have all of you hot mixed, riders and observers

[@fullpullgarage6203]

After riding and working on all three of these machines I know own an rmax The rmax’s has always been the ones ridin the hardest in my group and always the one pulling the others back to the trailer. They for sure aren’t the best for jumping out of the box tho with some minor suspensions adjustments they aren’t bad tho.

[@GetlostwithKenny]

Super stoked to see your guys opinions! Definitely surprised to see how close they are

[@shoefly757]

Can't believe it is going on 7 years I've been subscribed! I wish it was financially possible for you guys to test these machines in multiple locations across the US. People in the east would HATE the length of the commander, but people out west would HATE the handling of the RMAX at speeds. I just sold my 17' X3, still have the unbreakable teryx4. Looking to upgrade to the RMAX4!

[@joeydowning7338]

You just got me back on your channel with these machine!!exited to see the comparaison. Looking to buy a Rmax

[@ninerout399]

Controversial gloves? Best damn president ever!

[@melissasmess2773]

Glad to see you breaking them in gently😂 Great content and fun, thanks!

[@mattp32]

I got the KZbin notification after waking up from a night out with the boys and thought this was finally the snowmobile content we’ve all been waiting for! Come on guys we’ve all been dying to see this retro sled content, MAKE IT HAPPEN ASAP!!

[@Michael-wm4cf]

Can’t wait for more snowmobile content, but there’s just no damn snow lol

[@robb6753]

Gotta wait for the snow before they can make SNOWmobile content

[@ptrdlr9166]

If there’s no snow how you gonna use a SNOWmobile🤣

[@mattp32]

Apparently no one heard how they are heading to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where there IS snow?! Guess some people don’t pay attention 😂

[@mattp32]

Looks like everyone also apparently missed the Snowmobile content they already made with NO snow! Sleds go on dirt and water too guys and they’re antics are just as fun to watch withOut the snow. There’s always one negative Nancy in the peanut gallery with a comment 🙄

[@qmrjakegreen9319]

Having driven and or have rode in an rmax4 limited and a 2 seat commander xtp, personally for me I felt that it was more comfortable and way quieter and with the commander the fast you go the better the ride is like I did 50 mph down a relatively rough trail and was super comfortable, and one neat the about the commander at least the two seat is that both bed sides come off leaving you with a location for a spare belt and tool on one side and I believe a set of jumper cables on the other.

[@tritech]

I think for a utility SXS the ease of getting in and truck like seating is a plus. If you want a sport ride, there a dozens of machines for that.

[@damienstark6901]

I’ve driven all three of these machines out on trails in same weekend I felt like the Yamaha definitely had the most throttle pop.

[@LetsGetWEIRD199]

I’m so glad you guys are doing thorough reviews tho! Literally why I first came to this channel! Love these videos more then anything else!

[@prestonhill9320]

I believe the can am is the most quiet because it’s pulling power when the tires are spinning. Can am defenders and commanders have shaft saver mode when the tires are spinning. Even tho your pedal is at 100% the computer will close the throttle valve to 50% to pull power if excessive spin is sensed.

[@jackkrupka3024]

I know your content is mostly SxS and I love the content, but I am a die hard 90s sled guy and man I have been really keeping my eye open for another video to pop up

[@Jay-gs5xg]

I agree you have to test with stock tires. It would also be interesting to see this done again with matching tires on all three machines.

[@GodlikeGTZ]

I love my Rmax sideways! Dirt mud snow, doesn't matter. Its got a lot of sway bar and rotates controllably. I just don't think I could have as much fun in the limousines

[@patmabuti2290]

I have an RMAX4 1000 and wouldn’t trade it for anything but I also wouldn’t jump it with the stock suspension setup. The rear end kicks up way to hard on them possibly because it was meant for 4 people plus cargo. I actually almost front flipped mine hitting a bridge that was far steeper than I realized doing 30 mph. I’m told by 2 seater owners that they are much better jumpers and launch much more evenly. I’m also told changing the suspension setup increases the cornering and jumping ability significantly but that’s not the point of this test. I think they feel top heavy because you are sitting up so high, but once you get confident with pushing them and realize it’s not tipping over you really can toss them around corners. I can tell you I’d never even consider trying to fit either of those stretch limos down the trails. The RMAX4 is almost the same length and weight as the 2 seater.

[@thegrantdanielsband]

Awesome guy's looks like fun felt the jumps LOL can't wait for the sleds Take Off EH!! 🙂

[@SteveConway794]

I would really really love to see a video where you show us every single machine you own. Take us back to Doug’s old House, show us around a little. I’m sure a lot of us are wondering whether you still have some of these old machines like the 4 seat wildcat, 4 seat commander, Machines like that that you used to have in your old videos. We care about you guys. We want to see what’s going on. Thanks PS, Doug is my favorite😉

[@justincampbell682]

That pre-1994 Polaris wind breaker on Nick is absolutely priceless and worth a Grammy award. But we def need some 110 sending it in early 2023. Butterfield hook us up with some 2JP eargasms

[@benpeebles8184]

Wow at the 16min mark the music got real funky!!! Love it, Keep up the good work boys!!

[@ryanburke9655]

Im so excited to see whats next with these machines! You guys are doing an amazing job already!

[@mineshallnotbeinfringed9676]

:) we LOVE Frankie’s gloves!!!

[@racer1987]

Are you going to compare the units in the Utility side of things, all we have seen is drag racing, track times, and jumping! I think the buyers of the machines would like to see towing capability, load capacity, which bed raises easier with a load.

[@codyselcamino]

I would love to see a Pioneer 1000 vs that Rmax, I've spent a lot of time in the Honda seat and would like to see what you guys think of it. Either way, love the content!

[@toben42]

Rmax destroys pioneer

[@wheelchairjimmy6945]

I have been riding quads for years and have recently been considering the move to SXS and the general seems like it would handle the woods the best! Can't wait to see what else you guys do with them!

[@jeffidubb]

Watching old videos I WISH y’all go back to them days with beast mode,battle tracks, blue OX and mud life I miss the original videos it’s not the same.

[@kenleppek]

I do enjoy the sound of the highway in the background. It's a familiar link between the old and new shop.

[@SXSBlog]

Lolol dude right?

[@James-zt1mv]

Great channel guys. Had a 2023 XTP 2 seater up in Roscommon for its first ride this past week. Love everything about the machine and agree with your take

[@nt3523]

Might have to dig out my old Joe Rocket coat. I wore that thing through a Mountain max 600, 98 rmk 700 and back to a modded Srx Mountain max.

[@jwschrag4921]

Love the content! Great job editing. Excellent decision to have Frankie drive for lap times and Sous to jump the machines. Love the honest reactions and thoughts! I have a 2019 Can-am Maverick Sport DPS 1000R and enjoy the Sport/Utility comparisons. Based on this video, I would choose the General. I think my heart still lies in the true Sport class with my Maverick Sport 1kR.

[@cletusw4480]

I so enjoy the content here guys!!! Thank you!

[@m.k.1340]

Thanks so much for getting into the Sport-Recreational segment, really enjoying that content, and pertains to possibly more real-world buyers who like the idea of sport, but justify the purpose based on work. Please, do include the Commander 2-seat that you have, as a foil for the 4-seat, to compare the chassis length, weight, and price (and XT-P upgrades) to give a bit of context for price point and 2-seat vs. 4-seat context. You guys still have a 2 seat Polaris General XP1000, also, right? I have been personally interested in RMAX, and test driven one so it is interesting to see how they compare. I REALLY wish there were a model between Honda Talon and Pioneer 1000-5 with iAWD and DCT, and turf-mode rear diff. Been watching every video since Doug's Garage era, thanks for all that you guys do and let us come along with you.

[@donsummerton]

I thought this was a snowmobile channel. Unreal!

[@SXSBlog]

😠

[@hammerheartdan6311]

SXS stands for Snowmobile X Snow sooooo there’s that🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

[@donaldliverance2597]

I'd honestly take the rmax and do a bit of suspension work I like the rear setup more than the other two

[@chriscanterbury8647]

Can't wait for the orienteering videos. They've always been some of the most interesting and addicting videos you guys have made

[@hahaadventures4838]

Which one of these 3 will still be purring like new in 10 years? Of course the Yamaha…….nuff said

[@hobman]

I'm just here for the music...that jump sequence music cracked me up...but I loved it!

[@LetsGetWEIRD199]

Take the machines to drummond island! The turning radius on the rmax is untouchable… do some technical trails!

[@LetsGetWEIRD199]

You really need to put it to the test. The rmax will smoke the other two machines in rock crawling esp if you have the d mode switch

[@ThatKoosterDood]

Good ol fashioned Blog content 👌 150 miles in a day = Commander

[@chriskemper7627]

We are looking at the general & rmax. Would have been nice to here views on cab heat and noise levels. Leaning towards the general!

[@clintbassett4063]

I love these videos the adventure overland riding for me is what I love to do ..I have a 4 seat talon and me and my family always have fun ripping it through the trails

[@traildawgsoffroad5156]

As someone who came from yamaha, to a maverick sport, then a x3 rr, I get what they are saying. When pushed, the can am (sport/commander) kind of all work together. It's limits are accessible. They interior is dated and to be honest, so is the x3's. Love these videos. Thanks guys.

[@supreme59raag]

This is literally all but a half hour of Frankie and Sous trying to make each other say uncle 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@austindillon9949]

Keep up the great work and fire content! Y’all need to fully cab enclose the general hell maybe all three units and compare what upgrades you can get from the factory, put AC, Heat, power windows etc! Do it

[@Il2ewp]

Where can I find a part of those gloves? They are the best.

[@tristancorney2157]

I love the energy yall have when your rippin these rigs it just makes my day better!

[@jkauffman990]

So! This is my experience. My 17g4 I had I had all 4 tires that were pro armor XG and my new g4 xp has those same tires as yours. They say those pro armor tires on the front are to help steer but made it way worse. They just push in my opinion. Get xg tires in the front and it’ll make a big difference. I can turn on a dime with them all the same.

[@Daisyduke419]

Trail conditions are perfect finally in upper mi hope yall get your sleds rippin soon cant wait to see them all get some air!!! This was awesome ...Id chose any of them cause any is better then what i own lol

[@ch3vy327]

I dig it. I’d choose the Rmax for the short wheel base for a 4 seater sxs.

[@russellhedges3027]

Please take these machines in tight trails in the woods!!

[@devrooffline]

only channel i look foward to see post from, love ya guys be safe and keep doing amazing videos and they put a smile on our faces

[@demwillams8898]

Can't wait to see the trail/off road comparison with these

[@YouTubeUserToo]

Bunch of big kids having fun. Love it.

[@scottharter1161]

"...considering the people we have here and the driving aggressiveness of the person driving..." *camera immediately zooms in on Frank, who smiles wickedly* - lol Also, I still want Franks jacket. I wish they still made it.

[@FrankieJ_117]

Best product fly has ever made .

[@jackhinkle1401]

What happened with rich rules

[@jpyka4x4]

He made a KZbin channel. Rich Rules. No explanation yet

[@welderteach]

All those machines look like they had spine shattering landings lol I like the sound and the looks of the general, the wheel base of the Yamaha, and the price of the can-am 🤷‍♂️

[@codypotyczka791]

Wonder if the different AWD/4WD systems have more to do with handling in corners vs the tires? A locked front will push a lot more than an open if taking corners 'easy'.

[@ibjames0618]

What do y’all think of heat in the cab on these three machines? The last two machines I’ve had were really hot and that’s not ideal in the south.

[@briankollin5091]

Beautiful gloves frank!!

[@paullane7489]

I think the track should still be called the Dougburgring. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

[@pillage7617]

Great video where is the snow?

[@rabyboy2844]

I have a xp 1000 You can switch your suspension by hand.... was it in its off-road mode?

[@Chrisbrown0038]

Hell yes love the videos man y’all are great wish I could ride with y’all!!

[@jefflawsonqwest]

It would be cool to do this same kind of thing with some 50” trail machines.

[@bertpritchett317]

I have the rmax 2 seater and put smidity racing 2 stage springs and its awesome on the trails.

[@BCF423speed]

Those retro jackets are bad ass need them , and i would say it’s definitely between the Yamaha and the Polaris for looks and if I was buying one , Yamaha is my brand but Polaris is my second , can anyone for 4x4 quads definitely has it right

[@drtschker3072]

Hey, where could I get a set of Franks Trump gloves?! 😂😂😂

[@SteenslandMedia]

Got everyone out on Leo Atlanta. (Road Atlanta)

[@trevorduran90]

When you leave the jump don't left off the Gas stay in it it will help a little with the front end diving

[@SXSBlog]

Oh ya he’s in the gas listen to it

[@dominicbustamante730]

I can't wait to see all the mods that you guys will throw on those units.

[@justinnickoson6900]

Does the old gauntlet track still exist? It would a nice to see the guys go back to the beginning and see the current machines on the gauntlet.

[@81z28camaros]

General for sure! Between The technology and the machine itself, it’s got the edge out of the box!

[@craigr6763]

Love my rmax for mountain trail riding I think it’s all your riding style.

[@kennethbrowne2238]

What would be everyone's pick for a "budget family slow trail machine? Wolverine x4, teryx 4 S LE, or Commander max base model?

[@Hyngyynj]

Getting an add for a Volkswagen suv that has a lower msrp than all 3 of these machines is the only reason I hate sxs’s. But I want one so bad 😂

[@dextershouse9012]

Nice, way to start my Saturday!

[@silveradoguy87]

I love my 2013 commander but had it for over 6 years but I think I'd go with the Polaris cause its got the extra accessories.

[@joshuabadzinski9793]

Sweet Saturday surprise! Thanks guys!

[@Mattism78]

Another great video fellas. Can you perhaps mention what each unit offers as far as storage? I know that’s been a huge challenge in my Talon. Something that I never even thought of until I was out on the trails using it.

[@robbakosxsking]

Where did nick get that awesome jacket? I work for Polaris and we don't even have that.

[@SXSBlog]

Vintage 1995 jacket from eBay

[@shawnrobinson460]

Any chance you guys could put terahooks on all 3 same size to keep it 💯?

[@JoeBrrrr513]

You fellas are living the best life well done

[@BenjySparky]

SXSBlog y'all rock! Peace

[@2001sage]

I’m going with the Yamaha and the gloves

[@ChevroletTough]

Those jackets are killing me. Freaking awesome!

[@TALENTLESSOFFROAD]

General barely over the commander. Mostly because I'm not a fan of touching shoulders while trying to drive.

[@codypotyczka791]

I am partial to the elbow room in the Generals and I like the seating position.

[@anythingthatflys]

The long wheelbase of Can Am and Polaris is better for the things you have done so far. I own a RMAX 2 and it is extremely capable. If I was going 4 seat I would probably choose the new KRX 1000. I just watch too many smoking belts of Polaris machines, but +Can Am seems to make a solid rig.

[@tonycurtiss1081]

Wheel base makes a huge difference in handling… comparing is tuff..

[@chrishill1286]

Great channel! I'm 67 I'd ride with you but I ain't wearing no dang helmet I wear my John Deere hat! The RMAX looks like a golf cart. I would have run the course in 2WD. My General is so predictable in the drift it's uncanny how predictable the handling is.

[@jhowell6015]

150 miles with 4 passengers, as in a family of 4. You will appreciate the extra room in the general.
