- Andy with Freeride Motorsports just took delivery of his Speed sxs! It's been a long 4 years. Andy was among the first to place an order and his number was 130. Through some confusion he ended up with this one and it's awesome. Is it a Can Am Maverick R or Polaris Pro R killer? Probably not, but it sure should hang with them. I loved the suspension in it. We just left the shocks how they came for this outing, but we'll be back out again and have to play with some settings.

Finally a good video showing the suspension do work! Great content!
Thanks!! We tried to show as many different transitions and terrain around the property as we could. Hopefully it showed just how well the suspension soaked up pretty much anything we threw at it.
Give it 200 miles it’ll start to bottom out haha
@@SykesItsParker then we set ride height, adjust shock valving, and hammer down again! 😁🤙
@@PapaWheeliesWorld Did you upgrade the springs? I know a lot of guys are doing that
@@CarlMitchell-we6tn this is my car...the car is 100% stock, besides the side mirrors, its out of box... really couldnt be much happier-for out of the box performance. looking forward to doing some suspension tuning.
Great testing. What a fun place to ride it. You can build a nice track there keep riding those same lines. How fun!!
Thanks!! We are lucky to have a cool place to ride at the house. We've been thinking about designing a bit of a track so we can do lap battles. I think it would be pretty entertaining!
The Bandit jumps so good. This kind of balance and suspension setup is outstanding. I really like my Maverick but, this is on another level.
It really does jump good! I was surprised how flat it jumped off the super short jump faces in our field. My 4 seat RZR Turbo XP donkey kicks way to much to jump those jumps.
@PapaWheeliesWorld the amount of haters I saw on others well known channels surrounding speed cars is mind-boggling. This buggy will push other manufacturers to up their game.
@@fj400007what about this pushes the other companies? Just curious it’s slower than all the other ones that have claimed 200hp and above.
@SykesItsParker what buggy do you drive ?... for my type of northeastern trails, you don't need an infinite amount of horsepower, you need a well balanced chassis, plush suspension with lots of clearance and best of all, easy access for maintenance. If you live for the dunes, get a sandrail with a V8 and real power, don't be a pussy.
looks and drives amazing- finally a GOOD vid from an speed utv 🤩
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! Hopefully we'll get more videos soon! We're just into the poor weather for a while now.
Damn, one of the best speed UTV videos I've seen and let me tell you, never heard such a good exhaust note out of a twin cylinder almost sounds like a triple !! I know Robbie's getting a bad rap but I hope yours holds up because it sure looks like one hell of a performer and that's suspension, it just works!!
Thanks for the compliment!! We've been waiting forever for my buddy to get this UTV so we could do the video. We'll be doing more in the future as well. The suspension is super awesome!!
First of all the RG colors are just sick and your back yard would be better than Disney Land for off-roading! Sounds a lot like an Artic Cat XX with a little throatier sound minus the vacuum cleaner whine. Sounds great to me! Great video!
Thanks!! I can't complain about the back yard at all! It'll even be more fun when we mark out a track that we can get some lap times on. Thanks again for your compliments!
Hell yeah, thats a badass car! Love the colors, looks like it floats. Get that speed key and it'll be great
For sure! Can't wait to see what the speed key does!
Congrats man - looked like it drove really well n jumped good to ..
Thanks! No complaints! On some jumps it looks like the back end kicks up a lot, but really that is from the jump faces being really short. They are more designed with my 8 year old son's motorcycle in mind. 😁
Great video !!! I am patiently waiting on mine Bandit. Hopefully somebody will try speed key soon and report on that.
Thanks!! That's awesome, hopefully you get it soon!! I hear ya, I'm ready to see a Speed key in action. 🤞🤙
I don’t care for how it sounds personally. aside from that it looks like it preforms really well. Congrats it’s a nice machine.
Thank you!! It seems to perform very well. We need to get a Pro R, Z Maverick R, and the Speed at the property together. That would be cool to see!
Curious, what is about the sound you don't like? it sounds better than a twin Polaris for damn sure that sounds like a miss firing Harley. I know I have had three of them...this sounds tuned like a tripple to my ears...lol
The speed definitely sounds better then the rzr those all sound like crap. I might like the speed better if I heard it in person. I like how the can am triples sounds the most. I think I just don’t like small engine exhaust notes in general.
@@Givmeabrake understandable
@@howarddavis8748really the speed sounds like a leaf blower
Exhaust sounds good to me! It seems to jump pretty flat, too. Nice unit, I like the looks.
I agree! There was never a point when he was driving it where I felt like the exhaust needed to sound different. I still think it would be cool to hear one with an aftermarket muffler just to see how it changes.
The car is beautiful
Nice to hear your compliments.
Almost everyone else that owns one can’t get rid of it soon enough.
Be gentle with it don’t forget where it’s made
Haha, gentle, no way! 😁
Looks awesome and sounded good to me
I agree with ya! I'm surprised by how many people hate the sound and looks. ;-)
So cool
Thanks!!
Front end has caddilac vibes!
I didn't even think about that, but now that you mention it... 👍
Next video talk a bit about how it compares to some of the other cars you’ve driven so guys who have experiences with Polaris’s or can-ams with have some perspective. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the feedback!! I appreciate hearing from people because I never know what people want to see and hear. After he gets me miles on it we'll make another video and talk more. Thanks again!
Thank you
For sure!! 👍
How is your car holding up?
Amazing video. Looks so much.
How is Andy liking the Baja bandit 7 moths later? Is it living up to expectations? Any reliability issues?
Thank you!!
So far it's been pretty good! He loves the suspension! That's the high point for sure! He had a reflash on the ECU because of a hard start occasionally. I feel like it's living up to a first year production vehicle with some issues here and there once the public starts testing. He has listed it for sale just to see what happens. His major deciding factor for that was the potential unavailability of parts if he's camping at the dunes and something breaks. It's hard when a rig breaks and you can't get parts and the vacation is ruined. This hasn't happened to him, but it's a reality that it could.
They mod the rzr to be as loud as possible, which really sucks on the mountain trials in Utah. The 3 cylinder canam sounds much better, I wish the el hefe had a 3 cylinder 1500 or 2000 with lots of low-mid torque. Number 975.
Congrats on #975! Yes, the El Jefe could use a bit more torque to get it going for sure! It's not that it's slow, it just needs the down low like you said.
...i think well see some bigger motors in the future ;-)
@@izomhopefully it’s embarrassing at the dunes in the HP
This makes me want a 2 seater!
It definitely feels more nimble and sporty than the 4 seat.
@PapaWheeliesWorld I sure miss the 2 seater days before kiddos lol. I hope the e85 tune will make the 4 seat feel alive. It just sucks that we have to run e85 for 200whp. Especially here in Oregon, where it's not easily available.
Luckily I don't know any better since I've only had a 4 seater RZR. 😁 I don't even want to drive a 2 Seat because I know I'll want one.
I wish we had more options for obtaining e85. I am curious to see what that speed key does for power! 🤞
I heard you have a pro r do you have like a side by side comparison to see the difference in jumping or speed. So we can see the difference?
Unfortunately the Pro R we did some videos with has been sold. I do have a video of it in the same field though. Hopefully it'll give you a bit of an idea, but not a perfect side by side comparison.
czcams.com/video/UtfwCOs9gyM/video.html
Car looks sick !!! But how is the power and suspension ? Does it feel like it can use more ?
The suspension easily ate up all that it encountered. It didn't leave us feeling like it needed to be better. Maybe we'll play with some shock settings and ride height after he gets a few more miles on it. Power felt really good, although we were in a wet field so that isn't the most accurate judge of power. I think in the dirt it has plenty of power and of course in the sand it'll feel like it could use more, but so does every SXS. It'll be awesome to get more miles on it and see if our perspective changes about anything. Thanks for taking the time to comment! 👍
Do you have a side by side comparison of it against your pro r to see how it compares in speed ?
No, I wish!! The Pro R has been sold and my other buddy's Pro R is supercharged so it wouldn't be a good comparison. I would like to see that comparison!
Desert sxs started doing comparisons but robby threatened them so they no longer make videos with it
Thats funny right before you mentioned the sound i was thinking it sounds like a chainsaw
A built up 2 cylinder one! 😉
“I here the po po daddy”
Bwahahaha, you heard that! 😂 She must have learned that from Mom! 😁
Great video. How’s the breaks on it? Did he get the up graded ones? Is that suspension adjustable? How bad was the dent?
The brakes were good! A good bleed of the brakes helped get rid of the soft pedal some people were experiencing. He just had the base brakes, not the upgraded ones. The suspension is adjustable with pre load and compression/rebound. We didn't have a chance to mess with that at all and it could help to dial it in even better! That dent was just cosmetic luckily!
@@PapaWheeliesWorld thank you. I’m thinking of buying one. To race it
@@starkeyboys9583 that would be pretty awesome! What kind of racing are you looking to do?
Desert racing
@@starkeyboys9583 oh perfect, I think that's where it would shine!
Hi, I ordered my ATV in 2021 and they told me a couple months ago it would be ready this month. I am calling and email no one is answering and the number I have from their email is going to a life alert company. Do you possibly have a number I can reach to I get in touch with them
This is my buddy's UTV so I've never had contact with SPEED. Sorry you're having trouble getting in touch with them. Did you try their main number 1-877-773-3301?
Are you getting a lot of feed back in the hydraulic steering?
Yes, towards the end of the video during the review Andy said he was getting feedback while drifting in the field. It would be interesting to play with alignment settings and see if anything helps.
@@PapaWheeliesWorldtry cycling the steering wheel full left to right a few times to purge any air out. Hear parking it with the back of the car higher than the front and cycling it helps.
@@RJspapa1 awesome, thanks for the input! I'll let Andy know to try that. 👍
I’ve only seen one person race it against the stock, Can-Am and the Can-Am smoked it
A lot of them are having low boost issues. That might of been why
Which Can Am? I don't think it's the fastest sxs out there, but it certainly rides awesome with the suspension!.
Nice vid! Out of the box this car is miles ahead of the competition! Suspension is smooth as silk, it looks like it's very predictable in the way it tracks everything on it says let's race! As too the exhaust note I have heard worse. Does he have the speed key?
Thank you!! We are excited to get some miles on it. I'm really pumped for Andy to finally have his car! It definitely rides awesome!!
Sorry, had to ask how much did this unit cost you for real? Looks like you paid the extra dollar to get the 300 horsepower key setup?? I know you waited many years for it but looks like it was worth it. Thanks in advance for your reply..
I believe it was around $32k. My buddy Andy got in early on the orders before the pricing went up. It just has the normal 225 hp tune right now. You can't get the "speed key" 300 HP tune until 500 miles. 👍
@@PapaWheeliesWorld ok, gotchya! Thanks for replyimg.. at 225 horsepower, it's no slouch at 300 that would be a a awesome bonus and for $32,000 that's one hell of a deal that you got compared to the comps...!
I think another 75hp will be pretty cool! Not needed in my field, but the power in the dunes would be sweet!
So are you plotting hand controls?
That out a broom stick! 😉 It would be cool to actually drive it. 🤙
Tell Andy thanks for replacing the grass😂
Hahaha, Eliza will make sure he does! 💪
While I am pleased to see more of these getting out in the wild and time will reveal the organic weaknesses, as it does with all MFG's, I have lost all respect for RG when he demanded another channel pull his car from a 7-way shootout just because it wasn't performing as well as the others.
Hope this car treats you well!
Thanks!! That's crazy, I haven't heard about that? What channel was it on? I'll have to look for the video!
@@PapaWheeliesWorld I heard that after a couple hundred miles they are having low boost issues. I would like to know after a few hundred miles if yours is good so I can decide if I should buy one
I will absolutely do a follow up video after this one gets some miles on it! 👍
@@PapaWheeliesWorlddesert sxs
@@arnw7933 thanks! I'll look for that.
is that a weedeater?
Yes sir! 2 cylinders of juiced up weed shredding power! 😉
Maybe its not broken kn. I hear you dont get full power til 250 miles.
I've heard the same, but I don't know if that's confirmed or not. Either way, it feels real good currently!
Things rides so nice compared to all other brands
They do ride very nice!! Very close to a Pro R I would say. 👍
You obviously haven't been in a pro r
@@motorcyclestig8539 200 miles and the springs give out and it bottoms out
I didn't realize they were putting out the 2 seaters now. The Speed car is definitely the best looking car on the market, but i wouldn't be comfortable buying one after everything ive seen.
I agree, I like the looks of it! 👍 Interesting how many people say they hate the looks.
Auwsome according to you
It really was! 🤙
Great video. Thanks.
First time I’ve seen anyone ripping the Speed. Impressive, but not enough to want me to trade in my two seater pro r ultimate.
Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!! I have a few videos of the Pro R Ultimate on my channel too! 🤙 They are hard to beat for sure. I wouldn't trade in your Pro R. 😉 The Speed (2 seater) does very good though and it feels similar to the pro r, especially if we would have played with shock settings.
Great video guys!
Awesome Video. Thanks for posting,
Looks like a copy of polari RZR with different plastic
Oh no, you'll have to check one out in person! 👍 They are as different from a Polaris as a Can Am is! Completely different design!
It’s ugly, as ugly as the cf moto and yxz is this is worse lol. It looks like it has decent power and the suspension looks pretty good. I’d say it’ll be a much better dune and fast trail/track rig than a rugged rock crawling rig for sure but I’d say that’s what it is made for. Heard about them for years and never really had any interest so I don’t know much about them but I don’t see being worth a high price and 4 year wait at all.
It all depends what you're going to use it for. So far it feels nimble and powerful enough to be good for our riding around here and at the dunes. Can't wait to test it on the sand!
@@PapaWheeliesWorld it looks like it would be fun and very capable there. I live in the south east and around here we have a few fast trail systems and tracks but 90% or more is rutted out muddy and rough mountain trails. Having turbo lag and that long rear end would not be beneficial here and the turbo power is nice but not really necessary. A krx on 35” roxxzillas will pretty much outdo anything sxs around here.
Junk
Care to elaborate? I'm always up for constructive criticism on my videos. I'm no expert and I'm continuously learning. Thanks for watching anyway! 👍
PLEEEZE WEAR HELMETS
Normally we do when going hard! This was just an easy test run though. 😉
that thing is a fucking joke.
I appreciate any feedback, but a comment like that without any examples is pretty worthless.
@@PapaWheeliesWorldHisun engine.
@@DieselRamcharger I totally understand people's concerns! Hopefully with more rigs being in customer hands the growing pains will be sorted out and reputation will be increased! 🤞
@@PapaWheeliesWorld its actually quite the opposite. being 3rd party built there is next to no quality control. fit and finish is not good. and they are already light years behind poolaris and canned ham. you are paying a top tier price for 3rd tier product. the lack of industry support i presume will be the final nail in the coffin for these things. Robby tried to build the Trophy Kart of UTV's and rarely do these hustles pan out. The fact that these are extremely underpowered and their "answer" was to swap an ls7 in one mated to a $40,000 transmission is all you really need to know. These things aint gonna make it. Robby should of stayed in his lane.
@@PapaWheeliesWorld nothing against you. you gotta really nice setup out there. but if you watch 4:45 - 5:00 of your video. its plain as day the suspension and chassis is far from dialed on these little guys.
