- After a few months in our new rigs, we wanted to get a feel for each others machines. The only way for us to do that was to switch it up and get a few trips under our belts in each others rigs. In this video, you'll see Joe embarrass himself attempting a hill climb in the Honda Talon X4, Garrett losing at something in the Kawasaki KRX 1000, and Dave making himself look good for once in the Maverick Sport XRC! Stay tuned for more content on these machines!

This will be fun to follow. I know it's going to be a challenge to be completely honest and unbiased when comparing other machines to your own, but I think you guys can do it. Pretty sure I know who it will be most difficult for, but that's okay too. lol
Nice work guys.
It’s all good, we kinda of all have an idea what are machines lack. We feel being honest is the best thing for our viewers. This really is the best way to find out what we like and don’t like about each of the machines. 👍-Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad I very much look forward to the follow up on this, especially seeings how I`m leaning a bit towards buying a KRX to ride around in :)
Jaden Krosis Dave and Joe both will be dropping a KRX review soon
I wish I was there running that sand hill with you! I ❤️ sand!
You'd just make us look worse than we already do!
Deranged Off-Road Lol, I would’ve definitely got you on the sand hill but you would’ve got me on the slow crawling.
The sand here sucks to be honest! -Garrett
Deranged Off-Road My brain 🧠 can’t comprehend...???
It has always been so soft compared to other places. It’s like night and day compared to Dumont.
My Honda Talon Engine was toast. (i'm told due to a mistake made during it's build at Honda) Just got the White KRX, 120 miles happy so far. Thanks guys.
Thanks for sharing! Did you drop the Talon or do you still have it?
Deranged Off-Road Gone, was a good machine, however I did not like the way Honda was handling the situation. Engine was toast, Honda was going to make me wait until August before anything could be done. Dealership was very helpful, but their hands were also tied. I did like the talon a lot
That's too bad. Hopefully the KRX will do you right. They are a stout machine.
Looking forward to your thoughts this will be a good.
Dave did you put the heater in, I see something new on your dash? I came out of a 2010 800 RZR so riding in the XRC is like a Cadilac to me LOL.
No heater. It's the can am electronics holder which will house my intercoms and two way radio
I saw a non turbo machine go all the way up the big sand hill, RS1.
I have as well, but it weighs way less then my KRX.
Where are you guys riding in this video?
Sand Hollow state park, it’s right by our homes.

@@DerangedOffRoad My family and I was there last year on a vacation.we went out the with a guide his name was Randal. One of the best parts of our trip.
We grew up in this area and was riding out there before the lake existed.
As soon as Dave said testicles the first time an ad for the Manscaped trimmer popped up! 🤣😂
Now that’s good stuff!
I'll be looking forward to your opinions on each other's machines. I have the Talon X 2 seater and have to agree that its not great in sand... even in manual mode. I don't think the i4wd is ideal in sand. The DCT with it's up and down shifting is a learning curve all the way around and something to get used to for sure, but a great all around SXS.
Should be interesting.
Dave need to get away from the libert tire
We have discussed that. -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad love the blogs man 👊👊👊
Not sure what air pressure you are running on the liberties. I have found 6psi in the dunes works great. Maybe just a little bit more for everything else. But seems like with less pressure it rides better. Great video.
I think this ride they are running 10-12. Normally in the sand I air down to 8, but it compeltly skipped my mind this time.
Maybe they will put him some new tires on while on loan.🤔
Turbo all day !!!!
I’m getting to experience the difference every day. I’ve had my xrc for little over a year and just bought the krx for the wife. No matter what, it’s a win win for me
Interesting... I haven't bottomed out my KRX at all and I run it pretty darn hard. I run the shocks on minus 2 or minus 3 clicks up front (from stock) which I think is around +9 from full soft (out of 24 total, but stock was 12). For the rear, I run +2 clicks from full soft. Stock in the rear is +6. BTW where are you in Arizona? Msg me on IG if you like, "RobGoffroad" -- that reminds me, I haven't posted anything yet. :)
How many miles are you running on the KRX?
-Garrett
It will start to bottom out. Springs are garbage and will sag out soon.
@@jameyarthurhultz3069 yeah seems be a common problem
Note to self skip the Kawasaki, yeah I don’t know? I have a mountain bike is faster than the Kawasaki really not impressed seems about 20 hp under where it should be.... my problem is where I ride I’m going to be above 6000-7500 feet and all these machines are going to suffer horsepowerI bet any amount of money Kawasaki is going to increase the horsepower it really only lags on long hills and in the sand and who cares , exactly. Hearing the motor being pulled down in RPMs is an indication of being under powered... other than that Kawasaki‘s are rocksolid bulletproof machines I’d never be scared of buying one...
It could use 20 more hp for sure, but I’m going to tell you that most NA machines will not keep up in the trails and whoops area or rocks. This thing takes that stuff like a beast. Probably one of most comfortable machines out of the box as well for ride quality.
Deranged Off-Road Yes I agree it absolutely excels over the XRC in smoothness, I’ve owned lots of Kawasaki’s bikes and never been disappointed with any of I’m just hating, just worried it’s under powered about 6000 feet, power to weight they all will suffer, and I don’t want to get into the reliability expense with turbos , as I know a couple years from now I have to dig up two or three grand, in maintenance
Well it does have like 6" more wheel travel than the XRC
-Dave
Wow Garrett. I though my springs were sagged out on my krx. Yours are whoooooooooped !
There is no more adjustments to your springs. Lift kit will not fix your spring sag and will not stop you from bottoming out. Go with Shock Therapy get better springs, more lift and much better ride. Also need to bitch with Kawasaki!
My adjustment made a big difference but I’m worried it won’t last. I’ll be going with Shock Therapy for springs. 👍 -Garrett
Deranged Off-Road $900 big ones. But well worth every penny
👍 well worth the money I’m sure!
