Picked up my RZR yesterday.
List price, added the 12" chrome wheels using stock tires, $ 79 each.
Front and rear bumper are coming.
This is my first side x side. Have ridden dirtbikes, three wheelers and now four wheelers. Have owned from utility to racer and everything in between. 5 motorcycles, 2 three wheelers and over 10 4 wheelers.
First impressions, Lots of fun. My wife really loves it. Can see many afternoons cruising with her freinds. Fit and finish are good.
No rough edges, seems put together well. Rode about 2 1/2 hours yesterday. Bumps, jumps, a little mud. Very smooth. Am definately going to have to play with the gas petal. Going over whoops you just
cant keep a constant pressure. 2 wheel drive turns much better in the sand. 4 wheel seems to work like it is supposed to. Door nets are a joke. Not a good system at all. My knee slips right through the hole between the upper and lower net. I think I am going to combine the two nets into one, sew them together somehow. Either that
or if somebody comes out with a nice door. I am 5"10 and moved the seat all the way back. Leg room is ok, but could use more. I think some kind of floor mat that gives you a little grip would help. Performance wise I have nothing to compare too. It does go fast.
Being it is so smooth and you are strapped in, it doesn't feel like your going super fast. I took some pretty good whoops at about 45 mph. Handled it well. Didnt really get a chance to do any cookies and feel the stability, but overall I'd say it seems stable. I'm sure
on black dirt you could crank it and tip it over. Lower profile tire and offset rims would help that alot. Noise level is a little more than I would prefer. Not loud, but loud enough. We have it at our cabin with lots of other cabins around. It is definatley louder than
any other 4 wheeler out there. Noise in the cabin is fine. You can talk at cruising speed no problem. Needs rear view mirrors. Nice high seat backs make it hard to turn your head. Gear shift is good, but would like to see a zig zag type system. Where you pull it all the way back and your in H, then you have to push it over and back again your in L. Like in most cars with a floor shift. Got the grind once or twice. Definately NO shift on the fly. Stop completely to change gears. Always stayed in gear. Does have engine braking. Actually a little to much. IF you get going 30 or 40 and then just
back off the gas, it really slows you down. Maybe after the belt wears in a little it won't be so bad. Steering is easy and quick with a tight turning radius. Didn't have any problems staying on some tight atv trails. Roll bar height is no higher than a person on a good sized atv. Didn't have any problems getting under branches or limbs. Actually just kept on the gas and let them slide over the top!
Well thats my mini review. sorry to just ramble! Have a nice three day weekend, I'm sure I'll put on some miles and I will report back
on Tuesday!
