Textron Havoc x

[@keithwilliams4247]

I bought one 4 days ago, I ordered the roof, half windshield and the solid bumper with fog lights for the front. Only put about 70 miles on it so far what a fantastic machine. We live in northern Alberta and do a lot of trail riding.

[@camaro69green31]

Ive been researching these Havocs. Looks like one well though out and well build machine. Nice job on your choice of accessories

[@highside973]

Great video Damon. Thanks. I've been updating you tube daily to see a new video from an owners perspective. Learned lots from this post. I like the ability to link electrical add ons like you showed. The steel braided lines are a nice touch too. It looks like they have grease fittings on your a-arms. All solid so far. This machine checks off all the boxes for us. I'm hoping reliability will exceed that of former Arctic Cat. Knowing what past owners went through worries me a bit, but again this looks like a redefining release for them. Looking forward to your future posts. Subscribed !!!

[@josephnazzaro177]

Also purchased one last week. Dealer waiting for some of the accessories I ordered to come in. Same front and rear brush guards and roof also added rock sliders, aluminum skid plate, grab handles and full flip windshield.. Hopefully will be picking it up soon. Best of luck with it. Enjoy.

[@hrosemergy]

where'd you find the flip windshield? our dealer said there wasn't one? And how much is it?

[@sideskraft]

Looks great, thanks for sharing! I think it's the best looking non-sport UTV on the market, and it performs very well too.

[@BUDD1]

King Shocks! Nice! Cool Front lights. Looks like a solid machine, keep us posted.

[@NavigateOffroad]

It has a pretty good sound coming out of that factory exhaust. Nice job showing the machine.

[@daleforneyrealestate132]

Great review. Bought one with snow plow. Awesome rig. Want to travel it now that I have a flatbed trailer. How do you like to strap it down to your trailer? Looking for recommended method / secure points on the Havoc (e.g. do you strap to frame or go around tires, etc.?). Thanks Damon and others!

[@mudchamp2139]

Awesome video keep them coming can't wait to see some footage of this monster driving off road.

[@joebullano5492]

I have one and absolutely love it. I know time will tell but for right now. I am more than impressed. Thanks for the video maybe I'll make one in the future!

[@jodygilbert6486]

Great video i looked at one at a local dealer it was poorly put together by the dealer one door did not work and some fasteners missing and or installed incorrectly so i did not bother asking to drive it. I am excited to hear details of clutching and power delivery and hoping for a more reliable machine than the Polaris as i would like a sport utility machine but as you know Honda dose not make one yet and Polaris quality scares me.

[@joebullano5492]

I agree. but Im still impressed with it as of now. I am a full honda motorsports kind of dude. just a little scared of Polaris as well....

[@MudBeaner]

I rode in one Yesterday a lot smoother than my Ranger but i think its mainly because of the shocks. Oh and just some advice for future videos, please hold your phone sideways lol.

[@damonshields8772]

Ok thanks for the advice. Next video will be it in action on some rocks.

[@brucemesser3227]

So how have folks made out with these over last few years. I am looking at a used one now ??

[@wesleyblanton2432]

How about a 1 Year Review? I'm on the fence between this and a General.

[@carsonjohnson1845]

Rob Wallace get this 100%

[@vwslivinglife4933]

Have a ? My havoc is very jumpy when at slow speed. Is this normal?

[@ChuckBeefOG]

King shocks, very nice.

[@dangoulard2819]

Chuck Beef tail lights

[@KngPin7]

So the only complaint people have is the seating position... whats your thoughts on this, i went and test drove one and it felt like you where cramped up to the wheel. The new 19s seems have a new seat and seating position.

[@daleforneyrealestate132]

I agree with seat position issue. Not comfortable if in for length of time. I'm just under 6'0 and I feel cramped with right knee getting stiff after a while. Seat back does not adjust. Can only slide whole seat back a little and it's not enough. Other than that, great machine so far.

[@highside973]

Any updates since you have a few weeks into this machine Damon ? I check out KZbin and the web daily and yours has been the only owner post put up yet. I figured there would be lots up by now. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this machine after you've had some miles on it thanks.

[@damonshields8772]

Took it out last weekend and this thing will rip. Took it down some fireroads to see how it handled at speed and there were some large washouts and doing 35-40 it was definitely smooth. With it still being new the shocks are alittle stiff at a walking pace. This machine does not lack power can break the rear end loose pretty easy but felt in control the whole time.

[@kirknelson3020]

How is the leg room? I’m 6’5” so I’m looking for one that won’t cripple me in a couple hours of riding. Great review!

[@namchief]

Can you show a video of how well the headlights work at night?

[@waterbuddy92]

nice rig....anybody put a blade on to push snow around? I really like the Textron vehicles from my early research.

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

great video! how are you liking it so far?? thanks for any info!

[@dynamicjim]

Any issues yet I have a po101 code articat customer care suck 2 months still not fixed

[@waynerexford5534]

Sweet I'm going to get one soon, I had cat sleds

[@jodygilbert6486]

Great video what is the top speed in low range.

[@damonshields8772]

I was running at 32 in low range. Still had some RPM left.

[@troygalbraith3312]

How much is it ? What’s the top speed? Hope to see more videos

[@damonshields8772]

It was 17299. Not sure but you can limit it at 74 mph so maybe somewhere north of that.

[@nathanlammers5779]

What's in the 2 compartments under the extra cab. Where the gas cap is on the one side?

[@damonshields8772]

Gas cap is on passenger side. Passenger side compartment is to check k oil. Driver side I think is some fuses but I haven't taken it off yet.

[@gordrhodes4076]

which dragon fire 4 point harness did you get the two inch or the 3 inch? also did you need to buy any extra mounting hardwear?

[@damonshields8772]

I got the 2inch. No extra hardware is needed. Just removed all the factory belys and these just mount to the bar behind the seats.

[@rangerbill9409]

How's the leg room for bigger/taller guys? Thx

[@damonshields8772]

I have the seat about half way. I'm 5'8"

[@rangerbill9409]

Damon Shields I sat in one a couple days ago and my knees were 1 inch from the dash. Not for me. I though the General was bad.. the havoc is way worse. Enjoy your ride!!!

[@joebullano5492]

I am 6'2'' and feel fine but yess any taller than that I can see it being tough.

[@JTKMX565]

Turn your phone sideways when shooting video.

[@The.Real.Timmii]

1:27, the a-arms are cast steel, not cast iron.

[@johnboy3100]

How's it holding up? Do you take it out in the rough stuff?

[@damonshields8772]

johnboy3100 I love this machine. Just had the clutch replaced under recall and the thing works flawlessly. Climbs rock and hills excellent. Haven't taken it in mud yet so can't comment on that.

[@johnboy3100]

Good to know. Do they have same clutch issues with 2019 models?

[@damonshields8772]

johnboy3100 Not sure. I'm sure they have the new cluth on the 19's.

[@dynamicjim]

Have mine now for 2 weeks waiting for clutch recall did you have recall done yet mine has occasional grind while gear switching .?

[@damonshields8772]

I noticed that this past weekend. I figured that the cable just needed to be adjusted. I will check into that. Thanks

[@slipknot51500008745]

Where do I find info on this recall

[@dynamicjim]

slipknot51500008745 I bought mine from center valley motor sports on pa 309 near Allentown pa. Ask for John I think he can give you the recall number to give your dealer . Waiting about a month now for my rear window and upgraded bumpers , skid plate one piece, rock slider ,they need to speed up Thier shipping, this unit needs front a arm plates on bottom took a small chip out of my powder coat. Also wash mud off of all black plastic it seems to leave spots where mud sits.

[@camaro69green31]

Mud always leave a little stain on all plastic parts. It's a quad. You probably suffer from OCD. LOL I use Spray 9 to remove stains. Cheers

[@ronniewebb2777]

What is the width and length and weight?

[@damonshields8772]

W is 64", L is 110" I believe

[@derekjuneau5168]

Where did you get the plate to mount the radio in?

[@damonshields8772]

Amazon and eBay carried them for that radio.

[@derekjuneau5168]

Can you post the link please?

[@marx769]

How fast will this go?

[@damonshields8772]

Not sure I've had it up to 62 and it still wanted to go but to me that was fast enough.

[@austinhufford1188]

What is the top speed of it of the unit

[@foxracing16]

75+

[@ryanstuck603]

It’s sexy

[@geraldlove7828]

I'm a taller man and I didn't like the seating in a cab could use a little more leg room

[@joeyfletcher77]

How much is it

[@damonshields8772]

17299

[@jackroach341]

I have one
