I like how that since they've hung with Cleetus they keep saying brother and Cleetus keeps saying units.
Haha yeah we wear off on each other.
Perfect balance.
It is one of the best unions on CZcams. Seriously, I found out about SXSBlog.com from Cleetus. I’m sure glad I did.
Sous has always said "hell ya brother" doug has the "yup yup yup" that I havent heard in a while. And nick hasn't said "introfreakinsante" for a while either.....
I was spitting my beer out when you guys hit the big jump!!! Lol that was a puckerfest
You guys have the BEST, most enjoyable CZcams channel ever!!!! In the beginning I couldn't stop laughing which then turned into really entertaining to watch riding! Thanks for being awesome SXSBlog guys!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for the support, bud!
SXS Blog = Essential services.
Super essential 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅
Another great Vid. I really see so many great aspects of all these machines. But, for the first time I recognize the smoothness of the Kawi suspension. Love your SXS Blog guys!
100% watching gauntlet content is by far my favorite! Really shows a comparison on the performance of each unit. Love the new gauntlet!
I love the sound of the Honda shifting through the gears. It looks really good against the KRX. The KRX is definitely built for slow and plush, like an Escalade for the trail.
It's a climber/crawler Moab
Like fat Girls.
This video is a perfect example why sport SXSs need rebound adjustment standard.
I’m still in love with the Talon. I’m stuck between the Talon R and the X3 Turbo R. O the tough choices. Thanks for the honest input about all the machines you crazy guys drive it helps out a lot.
Super fun video to watch! Really enjoyed seeing the N.A. Units ripping today! Cant wait to see the next video.
Thanks man, glad you liked it!
Talon looks Badass with the 32's
man thanks for all the extra content lately🖒🖒 some serious pucker factor built into to that vid dudes. Lookin forward to seeing the trail rip🖒🖒
No problem brother, stay safe out there
Love seeing two cars chasin eachother around on the track at the same time. Gives a great perspective on each units strengths and weaknesses.
Great comparison video. I'm glad to hear some positive comments on the KRX. I also gained some respect for the Talon.
Both good, and the Talon is a great machine!
I'm just waiting for the talon to get a turbo kit hopefully .. love that talon
Same here lol.
jose gaeta I’ve been thinking the exact same thing for a while now! I’m surprised they weren’t the first ones to have one. In the meantime I’m very anxiously anticipating the pow pow 💥 💥!!!!
Redline with a bit of turbo noise 💦
@@SXSBlog Whats the holdup guys?! Get the deal done so the Talon doesnt have to be the stepkid staying home to do the chores while all the turbos get to go to the ball. The way you guys have beat her up, she deserves some love!
There is a kit. Want a turbo, put it on yourself. Some people don't want want one bc they ride woods/trails
I love the KRX! Great video guys! See ya on the trails!
My railbuggy beats the heck out of my arms and shoulders driving like that! I still love it! You guys are great! Thank you!
Haha sometimes that makes it more fun.
The field that y’all jump y’all SxS in call that “ Hazard County “ 🤩 LoL
YES! I’ve been waiting for this video!
Fun video to watch seems like your dropping more vids more often. Mark in SoCal , I have a sore throat and feel like crap amidst the coronavirus scare. You guys made my day stay safe
Great rip session guys...can’t wait for the trail ride video
Really love seeing the talon ridden. I still really want one of those. BTW I'm going to be putting in an order on rocky mountain soon and using your link. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks brother!
The KRX reminds me of a old Polaris RZR 800s, you can just hold the skinny pedal on the floor all day long and never get tired!
About it, just more plush.
I want to drive one to compare it to my 800
Thanks for the video during this self isolation
No problem, hope you enjoyed
I've been waiting so long for the Kawi to hit the channel I've narrowed my choices down the the talon or the krx. I cant wait to see in on the trail in the next video. Dont forget the tire pump😂
Thank you for another great video. Lots of great footage.
Go to the dealership and sit in them, see what you like better, will really help with your decision.
@@SXSBlog yup just did that about a week ago. Was still to messy to test drive. And now my local dealership is closed. I am a honda fan and have been leaning towards the talon x but the krx was a little more comfortable/roomy compared to the talon and the krx appears to be over built in a good way bigger arms axles diffs and a true locker. But the honda appears to be taking everything you can throw at it. And every one that drives it seems to love it. Looking forward to seeing what every one has to say on the trail ride video. I live in upstate ny most of my riding is on hilly/mountain/ rocky trails.
Wade Moulton : I am in the same boat as you. I ride in WV exclusively and have narrowed it down between the Talon and the KRX. I keep going back and forth on which I like better. I like the KRX over the Talon if you’re just talking stock out of the dealership. I feel you would immediately have to upgrade the tires on the Talon. KRX just seems beefier.
Love watching ya'll run the Talon
you guys should do a comparison video of all of your buggies. show speeds, specs, etc. post opinions on what machines are best for what type of riding, pricing, features, etc.
Pretty daring parking the Pro any where close to Sous ripping the Talon
We know, rookie mistake!
You guys are literally on the map. Was looking at the signs trying to figure out where you're ripping around and Google has a pin there.
If I lived and rode where you guys do, the KRX would not be my first choice or second.
However we live in Moab Utah. And the KRX is the first choice for around here. They are everywhere. Simply a fantastic little rock crawler. Especially with the 35s we are running.
Thanks for sharing just having a great time
Just glad to be a part of it
The KRX looks cool, I like the size of it. Seems well built. Just from watching you can tell she just needs a little more power. Wonder if an exhaust and a tune would make it come alive a bit?
Yes! I’ve been waiting too see a side by side comparison of these 2 machines. Personally I think the Honda has the all around engine/trans durability over the krx. But in my opinion I think the krx will have better belt life vs the other machines due to its design and Kawasaki is no slouch in the durability game. It would be awesome to see you guys get a new Yamaha X2R! That seems to be a promising machine for trail riding and still usable for work.
You guys helped me pick out my first sxs with your videos. I bought a 2021 krx trail edition. My girlfriend and I love it. Great videos.
Does it have enough power. Can it keep up to a general xp 1000
Thanks guys!
Saturday morning ritual check off! I like the Kawasaki however you can see how under powered it is and the motor sounds like it’s really screaming. The Honda is rocksolid and the RZR is mint! Always enjoy the videos, thank you.
I sat in a Krx for the first time today and man oh man I loved it I’m more of a trail rider and it felt awesome.
Would love to see you guys come to northern maine aroostook county more trails than you can possibly imagine.
I’m ready to see this thing on the trail rip thanks guys
Needed this episode. Fun stuff, could really see attributes.
Glad you enjoyed!
Been watching for a long time love the channel I just subscribed.
Hey can you put in a jump cam where there is footage underneath of the SXS going over those jumps?
Maybe some slow motion stuff?
I would sure love to see that KRX with the turbo kit. It seems like a great machine.
Next video title : "SOUS PUTS THE KRX IN THE PUDDIN'" 🤣🤣 I'm lovin' the KRX vs Talon stuff. 2 badass N/A units just tearing it up.
That big jump was aweosme!!! Hahaha. What I would like to see is the RS1 Around this new track, and of course hit the big jump great video guys!
Mike brought the numbers down! Cool!
She's a straight ripper!!
Love the looks of that KRX. Just needs about 50 more hp..
Yes it does. Everything else is good, just needs the pow pow
What about some clutch mods? It sounds like KRX is revving well beyond where the torque band should be. I know my 650 Brute Force makes peak torque much lower in the rpm range than that thing is turning which makes a huge difference in dealing with extra vehicle mass.
@@Gonecheenin Max torque on the KRX is in the 7,000 rpm range. (77 lb/ft) It's just not meant to be a race rig on that type of course. However, it will eat the Talon (and most turbo rigs) alive on the rocks Suspension beats HP when the going gets really rough. Don't believe it? Just check out what Jeremy McGrath did in KOH. He was running 7th overall when he admittedly made a mistake and broke something in the front end. Still ended up 29th overall, even after 1-1/2 hour repair.
My biggest concern would be how loud it is at just normal trail cruising speeds. Is it anything like the older teryx? At 35-40mph theres no way to carry a conversion while cruising, also the gear whine in those was terrible.
@Furn333 Not if your winning!
I SO enjoyed this video!! Must admit I puckered up when the Talon and KRX made the big jump! I thought they were surely gonna roll. I could really see how well each machine handled the track and I appreciate you guys showing the differences. So if you were going to buy the Talon or the KRX, which one would it be?
I love watching you guys so much you really are fun to watch
Good practice for the freedom 500. Friday is going to be epic!!
beyond excited.
Just because they said they are not worried about the Michigan Boys.. I'll be rooting for you guys lol.
DANG love the jumps
Need to do the RS1 Turbo project you guys were talking about! 🙏🏻
Someday soon hopefully
really need to set up suspension on KRX , springs sag after a couple hundred miles, Mine was down 2.5 inches from factory height. Adjusted preload and crossovers made big difference,
I would love to see the good ol xp1k rip with those units
Get the Talon Turbed fella's, keep up the good work, you're get me and i would say a lot of other people through lock down in the UK.
The KRX seems like a really solid unit, but seems to need a LOT more power to properly take advantage of that chassis. Wonder how the centrifugal clutch would work with more power and how it could be tuned to suit different power levels and driving styles
Yxz motor and.trans w turbo in krx chassis. 👍👍👍
Awesome video thank you
4:20... the krx reminds me of a fat girl chasing a donut.... however it is more fun to ride a slow machine fast than a fast machine slow
So true and half of these machines are well out of most people's driving capabilities anyway this seems like the SUV of the sxs world large not a rocket but confidence inspiring
hey its me again lol would be nice if you guys would show a flat tire repair in the field besides putting on a spare......... love the video content as well as the humor!!!
The KRX looks great but they need to get with the HP program buds. Maybe a Turbo from the Factory would have been their best bet.
They got a turbo coming
Can’t wait to see the RS1 on the new track!!!!!!!
Take the concave out and roll the top of the big jump to fix it ,check out some short course off road races and get some ideas, love the video's have fun and rip it up🤘
Man I love my krx I almost bought the Honda but thought the krx had more value for my money but damn if it’s not responsive they could have done so much more with its motor and clutching. On the trails it’s a beast does better than all other brands that my friends have but again I want a better throttle response and the krx would be perfect with that said great video keep them coming
Vforce John has his KFX running 76 just doing a few simple mods to the clutch weights and a flash I believe.
Just takes 4 miles of smooth flat tar to get up there 🤣🤣🤣
Took my sons krx out it’s a great all around machine very comfortable to drive for sure
Love the content Boys and love Honda’s Talon, plan to sell our 2019 1000X (Love the X just want to try the “Live Valve” 1000R out for a few seasons too).
Then upgrade to the 2021 “Live Valve” 1000R (Two Door) ... That’s the Unit that deserves the Turbo treatment. As much as I would love to see you guys Turbo your current Talon(s) the “Live Valve” suspension should be a safer/Funner Kit to build upon aye?Just my opinion.
damn i know exactly where you guys are running those. live not to far away. looking at buying two sidexsides and went to youtube to check out how they all are.
I would like to see a turbo build on the krx and talon at the same time. Then races between all the turbo cars.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys think is the better trail machine between the two!
Any mods planned to give the KRX a little more pep? I love this KRX content! Thanks!
Bring your bag of tricks to Cleetus’s next week. Show us a win!
Brother Units are looking good
The KRX by the way you describe it sounds like the feeling of going from my old rzr 1k to the new turbos. Felt like I could just throw it into corners and hammer down and be good but the turbo you have to play with the throttle or your gonna kiss a tree. Lol Still would have like to have seen the Honda and Kawasaki brands come to the table with turbos/more power! As late as they came into the game I would think that they had a lot of time to have developed a competitive machine.
Isn’t the XP1K RZR still the best selling model though? The turbos grab more headlines for sure but I think sales wise the na units still sell better. Could be why Honda and Kawasaki started there
It should be called the Blogway!
The Freedom 500 is still on, I’m so excited. I bet you guys are too.
It's gonna be ridic
I think with some clutch work exhaust and a turbo the krx would come to life. Id like to see it.
you guys should have a bobcat flatten a drag on that land.... flag it at 1/8th mile and start recording times! That way its pretty exact.
It would be great to see you guys do a live blog about robbie gordons new speed utv. More details are being released wednesday.
I would love to see what the KRX acts like with more power however it looks like a lot of fun as is
I’m thinking about buying a KRX because of how much you guys says it’s a crawler!! When will we see some crawling in that thing?
I finally found where you guys are located! I'm from Clare MI, love the vids guys always excited for more and new content thanks fellas!
I hope one day as i pass I'll look down and see an epic race in progress! The hole crew! Then..... I'll release the TRAIN HORN upon them as they video.... and I'll be in a SXSBLOG video for all of eternity!
Thats proxp is something else !
Also love the action shot at 7:13.
That jump though!
It's was not not sketchy lol
Thanks guys for LETTING IT EAT !! 🍻
What happened to the Nick machine? Haven't seen it on the channel in awhile. Keep up the great work guys really enjoy watching y'all
All you need is a Light Tree and SXSBlog Dirt Drags is born!!!!❤️ 👊🏼
Search "SXSBlog Raceday"
When y'all going to windrock? Looking forward to seeing Honda and Kawasaki battle it out..
TURBO TALON VS TURBO KRX next !😎
Would love to see a full na shootout. SS YXZ, na rzr, na mav along with these 2. Probably don't need to include the xx considering your past luck with those machines😂
I'm sure the XX would smoke the krx.
That Kenworth deserves better Douglas
I think he hasn't taken it off since he bought it 😂
@@wadepreston5298 he actually showers in it to clean it.
It's a tough coat, she can take it.
@@SXSBlog I'm so jelly of it!! OMG did I just write jelly😵😵😵👀🤣🤣🤣God forgive me 🙌🙏✝️
You guys need to get the turbo kit for it
Dude in the red helmet is a solid driver!
You all are a riot regardless
I own a Talon X. It's a great car, but it is nose-heavy in the jumps. No two ways about it. As always, thanks much for sharing.
Steve
Thanks for watching Steve!
The Talon sounds so nice
The can-am is included in this test also. You just can't see it, it's already at rhe end of the track.
You guys need to rip that little pine tree out back there by the turn around at the big interstate sign!
I can’t even say this because I haven’t driven either yet, but I think I like the Kaw more. Hopefully there will be some performance support for it.
Wish I could ride with you guys. Getting so bored. St Helen is a good place to rip, mostly because it’s so close.
You guys need the kt performance turbo kit on the krx
8:02 do you even preload? also can't beat the sound of the DCT
You guys have got to try a Joyner Sand Viper 1100!!!!
