Lowkey like these not so "directed" videos. They're verry smooth and natural feeling which makes them easy to watch
Thank you. Luke really does an awesome job (this is not Luke replying LOL).
I also like these videos a lot
Ya and easy to like. Just keep your big closer.
Really awesome looking machine, I'm glad to see Kawi and Honda both entered the sport SXS market with great machines.
Kawasaki did an amazing job on their first sport side by side design. I work for a Brp/Polaris/Kawasaki dealer and I wrench in them all all day. Phenomenal job in my opinion. Not the fastest or butt puckering as some others but it definitely puts the right amount of power to the ground.
Awesome!!
Great video , as always , can’t wait to see the test ride ! It looks great in your video but in real life it’s unbelievable ! My jaw hit the ground when I seen one at one of my customers house , his son had just bought it . He went to the dealer to get a new pit bike and came home with this ! Hahaha I love it !
That's awesome!! Thank you for the kind words!!
I appreciate you commenting about the legroom. Thats the only reason I'm considering this vehicle. I'm 6'4" and I need the legroom
Lots of legroom in this bad boy. I’m 6’6” and fit fine. I did adapt my drivers seat to go even farther back so I could keep my left leg straight without bending my knee. There is still room behind the seat.
The old saying of ....it's more fun to drive a slow machine fast than a fast machine slow... definitely applies to this one. We can only hope long-term the quality of this unit is much above average just like most Kawasakis. The looks and styling are incredible!
Looking forward to your test drive, great breakdown !
great comment!
Shock Therapy said this is the top non-turbo machine they would own based on build quality (double shear, etc) and suspension geometry.
@@eagancm thats not surprising
Someone pass me a bib, I'm drooling...
Luke - long time listener, first time caller. I consider your channel to be the best non-biased most informative channel on all things off-road - really value the opinions and insight and appreciate the dedication to the hobby we all love! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!!
Dirt Trax TV wanted to ask - I noticed you never mention the price of units when you review them. Is there a reason for that? Just thought I’d inquire - I know for a lot of people price plays a huge role in what they’re going to buy.
Sometimes we do, but you're right we usually leave that out of the review simply because MSRP is available so easily on the OEM websites in different currencies country to country. Trim levels are all different and most sites let you fully build your ride on their website too. Nothing sinister, just a choice we make when scripting.
Dirt Trax TV roger that, makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Nice initial impressions. I have 300 miles of technical trails rock climbing and is perfect for that type of riding.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
That is the best looking Kawasaki I’ve ever seen and it looks very Capable for anything you could throw at it
Agreed!
Wicked machine, love it. Good video
Awesome!! Thank you!!!
The gas cap being low will be nice when it's on a trailer and you're filling up before you ride.
Correct. Someone pointed this out in another comment and it totally makes sense. Thanks for posting.
wow great video Luke you are really the best in the business man 👍
Awesome!! Thank you so much!!!
Seen where Kawasaki introducing there updates for the 2022 KRX this September or first week of October so many rumors floating around, some saying a turbo or the most requested I see people comment about is a 4 seater version so will see here in a few weeks, we like the KRX but we have 2 boys and a 4 seater would be awesome 🙏
I can't wait to see your impressions on this machine after the test drive. I'm debating on a KRX or a Talon R from my next machine.
Awesome!! Stay tuned!!!
I'm debating the same machines. 👍
Hope they put a good front locker 👍📽
Down low gas tank not so bad on my x3 like you said I have to open door lift 10 gallon gas tank to refill on trail its annoying when gas spills out of vent of can.
the krx will fit 35" tires stock. clutching is fine for it also.
I like it but ,I know the gas cap is low but when it’s in a open trailer it’s in a perfect spot
That's a great point. Didn't think of that!
I own a 22 brute force v-twin 750 4x4,and recently started noticing these krx-1000 2 seaters/4's I'm really DIGG that very mean sporty looking keep rolling kawasaki.
I love these machines. Just a little too wide for me in central Ontario...
Pretty wide for tight trail riding. Amazing for wide open trails and fire roads.
That's the problem I have with these, I'm also in Central Ontario (near Parry Sound). We don't really have the open areas really to use machines with this level of performance really.
Interesting machine
Great video , as always! awesome looking machine! #atvpassion
Appreciate it!
It looks good Luke looks nice
Iove the looks
Agreed!!
I like this machine even though it's slower than my rzr800 s model. It's perfect for trail riding where I live wickenburg,crown king, and four peaks areas.
U call that living. Lol nice Textron. It's all Suzuki motor n Textron. Makes Artic cat. There like
Cf. Moto. Splash pads open yeeeee haaaww
I wish my ls1 s13 have the gauge move with the tilt steering
Looks dope
We agree! Might be the best looking SXS of the season.
Great review. Tnks for not calling it a car btw.
We take more heat for calling them bikes, which we're aware makes no sense either...
Like the looks, I’m hoping for a four seater some day. As I need the extra seats.
I would expect this within the next 2 season.
Dirt Trax TV that’s good news, sounds like in a few seasons I’ll be trading in my Teryx4 LE. Thanks for the info looking forward to the next video.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Hello great video this sxs from Kawasaki is my top buy I really like it so far. I was wondering how tall you are Luke for seat and leg room comfort? And when you drove the 2018 CFMoto 1000 did you find it cramped a bit? I’m 5’11”. Looking for something comfortable for longer rides. Love your channel. Been watching for a long time even on tv when I was teenager haha 😂👍🇨🇦🍻
Luke's over 6-feet tall. I'm 5'11" and feel perfectly comfortable in both of these SXS.
Love to have one
Now that they have a krx-4, I hope 🤞🏼 to see y’all get your hands on one ☝🏼 of them and put a video out here for us with your opinion of it compared to the two seater
For sure! Talking to Kawi now about getting our hands on one. Stay tuned!!
Holy cow. Kawasaki isn't messing around. Without the upgrades, it already address a ton of issues the other UTVs have.
It is an impressive first go. Excited to see how it evolves.
sweet vid
Thank you!!
XRC has 15" wheels and 32" tires, also comes factory with pretty much everything this thing has as an accessory
Very different machines.
@@dirttraxtv true, under 120 hp sport class this is a top notch machine. X3 is king but if it didn't exist I'd have a hard time to decide between krx and talon
You remind me of Seth Rogan for some reason. Lol good video great review!
Seth Rogan is pretty awesome [ laughs ridiculously ].
all that matters is nothing is better then a can am or polaris as this channel favors
Good review, very DeMuroish.
Jim what you mean by black flies
As a can am guy this is interesting ,, like to know the value/ price comparison to Rzrs and commanders.
The yxz has scrapers the scrapers can be a problem though on mine a rock got stuck in between there and put a hole in the wheel
Good video Luke, didn’t see any black flies
Oh they're out! Millions of 'em!!
Dirt Trax TV ya you can’t see those little things that’s the problem but they bite the hell out of you lol
@@longboardguy The trick is lots and lots of Deep Woods Off bug spray and they still bombard you constantly and fly around your head. They just don't bite as much.
Fyi for the Mosquitoes wear hair spray might sound funny but hair spray works try it sometime
They sure are bad in muskoka this year ! Just relentless!
I have a maverick trail be 800. And a outlander 1000. Can am both of all fox shock. Both 2018. Xmr 7.7 hours. Maverick 12 hours
Sooooooooooooooooo beautiful
Oh my god those Damn bugs! Watching this makes me super glad I live in Arizona LOL‼️ once I had a mosquito land on me and it flew away.... man that was close. But that was 10 years ago so that’s nice 🤪 love D.T. keep the videos coming 👍🏼
LOL I wish!! Feel like we have some sort of agreement with the mosquitos now. That and good bug spray...
Here in finland the mosquito squishes you
Man, ive been to arizona... there are so many other things that want to bite you. Most of them deadly. Lol. Even the plants want to kill you.
Luke Lester 🤟🏼😬🤘🏼
Dirt Trax TV 👍🏼
Great walk around! People can say whatever they want about Kawasaki’s SxS’s.... I have an ‘18 Teryx and, like this machine, it’s built like a tank from factory.... They’re heavy but they’re robust, solid builds for sure!
We like the Teryx too. Find the Kawi's to be really robust.
agreed. You never see a kawasaki being pulled out from the trails because of broken tie rods or engine blew. Kawasaki mastered the Vtwin engine 20 years ago.
Great engines.
everything they build is solid and has been for years
Honda and Yamaha make great engines too. Doesn't discount Kawi's engines though.
Can the subs go under water??
Ahh so much for the black Flies. Was 2° this morning. That's Suzuki tho. The have the GSX to 1000. Good job 👍 luke.
Black flies bro. My xmr have criped 30×9×14
Dont know why you guys are the last to get one. No press time in Utah with all the other channels?
Very late getting one. We're based in Canada and don't have the access to these the same way Kawasaki USA provides them. Kawasaki Canada did help us out with this one and we're happy to have it on site.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I like
Still waiting for them to send reviewers the turbo kit I want to see what this thing can really do!
YES!!!
Would be interesting to see what would happen if they put the H2 engine in one of these. Maybe the touring or ZH versions which have more down low/flatter powerband.
Nice, I own a 2004 KFX 700 Quad that looks awesome.
Nice!!!
Hey Luke that's Suzuki engine. GSX would be nice.
If they give this to us under 20k with same amount of toys in the 700 model good shocks seats lights ECT and maintenance is still easy and reliable this will work.
Interesting!!
@@dirttraxtv what was ur true take on the teryx ? Because I thought for the lights the comfort (seats shocks) the size fit on trails the power was good nothing crazy but compared to older 800 and 570 and artic cat models it held its own the area next to shin and knee did get hot but I'd rather deal with that vs my rzr always cooked stuff in my cooler the bed was kinda useless vs kawi the bed works I wish it had a tailgate but it still held animals and gas cans ect...... Polaris had a knack but i think kawi and Honda have stepped up and not really a fan of the Yamaha machine till ur in the turbo model.
I really like the Teryx. It is a good machine and pretty strong too. I would like to see this 1000 in it. Its only downfall is that it isn't a utility vehicle and it isn't a pure sport so it does neither REALLY well, but for a sport ute it is a great UTV. It has sporty elements to it and it is super fun to drive, but obviously the KRX . We did a huge Hatfield McCoy ride in the Teryx a few season ago (no cameras). Was awesome for those trails. Like anything, put a few of the same vehicles in a line and it turns into a race. Had a lot of fun.
@@dirttraxtv that's what makes it so great it's kind of the raptor of the sidexside world it's not a grizzly, it's not the yfz but it will hang with either kinda statement.....but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that ride at McCoys should have been recorded because the pitter patter around a yard & fire trail doesn't really show what these machines are capable of.
HAHAHA!! You're right!! It is stuck in my memory as one of my top most funnest rides. I honestly don't think video would have done it justice. It was dusty on day one, then it rained and then snowed and we drove the flippin' crap outa those machines. It was awesome! Thanks for helping me remember that one!!! Feeling like I needed a bit of nostalgia...
Textron at it best. All Yamaha. Anything from Yamaha. Evenrude
Trust me those full doors don’t do anything in sum mud you will get covered in mud
I wanna hear AJ’s thoughts on those skinny jeans Luke. 😝
LOL
lol... i may be almost 40, but im still hip to the 411.
LOL... yeah, what the hell's up with your britches son? HAHAHAHHAHA!
Any one use have heard a gsx. ? Holy does it go.
6 point harnesses lol
Too wide for me to ride here in WISCONSIN. Lots of problems so far in vids. I do here it is the smoothest ride in the biz. Doesnt buck like a Talon stock. Sound like it taps out rpms. Nice sunroof though.
Really awesome suspension. Time needs to be taken to get it dialled in right. Our sweet spot was 10 clicks from soft out back and 6 from soft out front. Reduced body roll and still soaked up bumps without feeling too harsh.
Exactly...definitely has a few issues
So what y’all think? Best brand for reliability? Kawasaki, Yamaha, or Honda?
Surprised more people haven't responded to this comment. Curious to know what others think.
I think Kawasaki and Honda top the list. I own a krx 1000 though so I am biased. Lol
Speaking from experience! Love it!!!
@ Madsen Outdoors Brute force here and love it
Madsen Outdoors I’m surprised you didn’t say Yamaha! I believe Kawasaki and Yamaha set the standard. I see too many Honda’s break where I am. Yamaha and Kawasaki don’t seem to die no matter the type of machine. Whether that be bikes, Atvs, sxs
👍💚🤩
Just saw the krx review on DT tv. If you are going to wait for kawi to give you the differences that you want ....................... You would have better luck finding a mermaid riding a unicorn strolling the streets of kinmount . I have owned a 2004 KVF and a 2010 brute force , nothing changes in kawi world because we want it to . Great equipment but there is better .
First !!
I'm keeping my ass out of Haliburton until the Black flies are done. Then I'll have to deal with the mosquitos.
Full body bug nets and deep woods off.
Ok
Remove those debris removers or whatever from the hubs. They catch rocks and shred the inside of the rim.
I love watching these newbie KRX owner reviews. I have to laugh 😆. They have know clue what problems they have and what problems are about to come. To many to list. I know this being a KRX owner at 1200 miles. But anyway great video. Good luck. Be very interested to see your thoughts after 1000 miles.
Is it bad enough you wouldn’t buy another one? I haven’t really dug into the problems they have, curious on what is breaking
How has your dealer been as far as handling your warranty work?
1500 miles with no issues here. Great machine.
Thank you for commenting!! I'm kinda feeling like this original comment was just trolling...
Dirt Trax TV I think so. Sounds like a sad rzr owner. Lol
I wonder when people will start tucking their expensive light bars underneath the roof??? Roll it over=light bar gone, hit the bushes=light bar mostly gone lol
My only complaint is the camera person is too far away wen u r showing things
That's a complaint we can work with. Thanks for your input.
I was severely unimpressed with the KRX. It's the slug of SxS market. The power honestly felt like a 500cc motor. I was also unimpressed with the low end grunt which is what the KRX was suppose to shine in. Me personally, I'd never even consider buying one. Way better options out there. The KRX is a huge flop in my opinion.
I do not agree that it feels like a 500cc engine. The low end is less than impressive, which could be resolved with some clutch tuning and I do feel it needs more top end, but mid-range it shines.
I'm sure by next year, they'll offer a "turbo" upgrade
@@dirttraxtv it takes so long for that engine to build power though that's why it doesn't feel like a 1k machine (to me). The power comes on very bland. The vast majority of owners will never tune the machine and will leave it as they bought it. They will buy it and only add accessories. That is where Kawasaki messed up. In order to compete in the SxS market you have to do something better than the competing market. Give people a reason to buy it over the competition, like ride quality/suspension, power, reliability or price point. I'm honestly expecting this machine to not sell very well. Only die hard Kawasaki fans will probably buy it.
Really hope so and really feel like it was built to accommodate a stock turbo.
These are good points. There's a lot of competition out there and it is really tough to convince a buyer to switch over to another brand.
Hearing it here would have been good.
Good note for the next video. Stay tuned and thanks for commenting.
Shout out to the camera man, who lost an arm to black flies for this video.
LOL The secret is to bathe in Deep Woods Off before shooting.
@@dirttraxtv what do you shoot at when you need a bath before it
Wish these were legal in Wisconsin
WTF? Say what, please explain that BS!
Might have o give us more of an explanation here...
I think he means street legal. In which case none of them are fully street legal. Certain towns allow them to be registered and driven on secondary roads.
I heard they aren’t trail legal in Wisconsin
There 68 inches wide. in Wisconsin in order to ride on trails utvs can’t be more then 65 inches wide
İ wish there were türkish subtitles
im so on the fence about these, on one hand i know its an awesome vehicle but on the other i just hate how it looks haha im sure im the minority though
Looks are so subjective. We think it looks super badass.
It looks good but I drove one and thought it felt really slow. I couldn’t even get it sideways in the dirt!
Those tires are super grippy in dirt and grass makes it tough to get it sideways. No problem on curvy fire roads though. Holy, that was a fun ride.
If California didn't have such stupid rules about not allowing these on most trails (street legal only) I would buy one.
WHAAATTTT!?!?!?!?! These were built for California!
@@dirttraxtv You can only use them on very restricted trails (or in the dunes). And many if not most of those trails are either connected by street legal only sections or say "no side by side". The only vehicle worth owning in CA is a dual sport or Wrangler.
how can any reg person afford these?
This isn't built for the average buyer. It's a high performance piece of equipment priced close to the Honda Talon R and a fully jammed RZR XP1K.
@@dirttraxtv even the less expensive ones, I'll just buy a truck, would like to have one to go through the woods, i cant even imagine having one, ohhhh well
@@chrisg4006 To each his own. If you can buy a truck, do it! There's smaller, more affordable side-x-sides out there with tons of power when you're ready to take the plunge. You can pick up a brand new RZR S 900 for thousands less and have a ton of fun with it.
Dirt Trax TV true I love my rzr 900s
Chris G like dirt trax said you can get a rzr 900 s for way cheaper and they are really fun. If had mine for 3 years with 2500 miles and no problems
Dude.. I'm just going to let this one go, but only if you never wear your wife's pants again. The kawi is sweet.
Lol... these are my favourite pants. Everybody hates on them though. Im so torn.
Yamaha is the best 🤟🏼
Yes, Yamaha makes great ATVs and side-x-sides.
Dirt Trax TV and dirtbikes 🤙🏽
I agree! The YXZ is awesome
Yup
Polaris 👍
Over priced , underpowered for the weight, really not sure of that odd look from beyond the seats to rear, polaris pro xp 181hp 26,990 in my opinion more machine less money. Just saying, love this channel so please don't retire lol.
Those scrapers don't do good with rock. They will destroy wheels and hubs. Remove immediately
I drove one...It felt like it was too big and slow. Sorry to offend anyone but it’s just my opinion...
Always entitled to an opinion. I like the size and how it is built, but agree that out of the gate it is sluggish and could use some clutch tuning. Needs at least 10 more HP up top, but I feel like they nailed mid range. Really feeling like Kawi built the KRX to scale up to a turbo. That would be sweeeeet.
Dirt Trax TV Totally agree. Great videos guys...as always
“Big and slow”.
be nice mister!, here let me show you how its done.
“The chassis is over engineered for the NA engine in stock form”
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hired.
kyle stewart Lol, i tried!
And it's a heavy pig...
It is heavy and fully loaded up. Gotta think it was designed to scale up to a factory turbo.
Well this is loaded for sale eh. Can am holy. Has nothing. This is a lil over kill. WHY?
To bad they are priced for the rich only
Just priced out of your budget. There's plenty of lower priced UTVs on the market.
Dirt Trax TV after years of motocross a lower end model just doesn’t work for me 😅 I have a ranger 570 for the farm and have had can am and Polaris when the 1000s first came out as well as a turbo but I really wanna try one of the Japanese machines out 🤙🏽
Awesome!!
@@freedomisntfree_44 I am in the same boat as you, having raced moto forever I dont want a rzr900. I crave something that jams! I have a ranger 900 on our farm and its good for what its built for and nothing more.
Yup, I'm on board here. I drove the RZR PRO XP this week and as soon as I got home I spent the rest of the night calculating payments and also imagining if Polaris made a 60-inch wide version with a 1000 - something smaller with a ton of jam. Outside that, I'd re-mortgage my house to buy a PRO XP. Impressive piece of equipment.
Video was focused on you, not on the product you are describing. Very poor video if you are trying to showcase the product, not showcasing you!
Think you need to watch the video again, James.
Overweight and over priced in my opinion.
Agree on the weight, but feel for what you get on this vehicle its pricing is in line with the Talon R and a loaded up XP1K.
@@dirttraxtv I hear what you're saying but that's a mildly modded X3 XDS Turbo R. Or a stock RZR Pro. I think Honda and Kawasaki have gone way too far on the pricing. They're in big turbo territory with very few reasons as to why.
@@shawndejong6699 Good points here!!
I picked mine up new for 15,799. I think it’s a steal.
Holy!!! Were the VINs scratched off?! You (sarcastically) flipping stole that!
