One of the best reviews I have ever seen in vehicle videos and obviously finaly someone reviewing it who can relay handle and knows what he is talking about !
Awesome review as usual. Loved the slow motion shots at the start. I want a Pro R so badly but $50,000 Canadian is tough even though it is likely worth it.
It's actually like 76.5 wide, i finally got my ultimate. I did do the stage 3 clutch kit and it made a difference from AA. I might go with the 35 inch tires
The way these high horsepower machines seem to destroy trails, it sad that I see in the very near future A LOT more trails being closed or having strict SxS restrictions
Jeeps, broncos, trucks etc destroy trails much more than any side x side. They way 2 to 3 times more and are wider. Where I live in the desert southwest I can always tell when a group of jeeps have been on the trail cuz its rutted out and washboarded
I have a 2022 rzr turbo R and I live in southwestern Pennsylvania. I ride with a group of friends and we frequent Hatfield McCoy trails several times and year. I can tell you that we ride around 200 miles in two and a half days and our average speed is less than 20 MPH. We aren’t ripping up anything. Trails get ripped up when it’s muddy and at that point anything that’s on them makes ruts. I own over 200 aces and I rip across my fields and I don’t make any ruts. We road Sand Hollow In Utah this past June it was mostly lose sand and hard pack and rocks. You can’t make ruts there. We ride almost every weekend somewhere and only run into ruts where there is puddles.
@@jadebylund7061 a sxs is on a mud trail driven by knuckle heads. A jeep is driven daily. A real rig is trailered in and not driven by a knuckle head that wondered why it broke
I agree with Cletus. The trails that I ride here in Wisconsin do not allow jeeps, broncos, or trucks. It's all 4 wheelers and SxS. These trails are so torn up you can't really enjoy a ride in a Polaris ranger with the junk suspension they have. Just about every sport SxS I see is being driven like its ars is on fire. The results--- torn up trails that only select SxS can handle.
I’ve always wanted a rally car or Trophy truck and right meow this is the cheapest closest way to scratch that itch I absolutely need to sell everything else I have and get this thing!
Don’t feel bad. 90% of the guys buying them can’t afford them either. I see pictures all the time of a new rzr with a house trailer in the background. 😂 it’s not if you can afford it, it’s how long you can stretch it out to afford the payment
This is a shot in the dark and will probably never happen. But what if Yamaha put the 1.8L supercharged motor that's in the GP1800 R SVHO in an SXS? Personally, they could figure it out but, most likely to never happen.
Good lord this thing sounds beautifully angry...these things with the speed limiter removed will hit 105 mph and around these parts we do a lot of lake racing in winter months and that makes you lake king...I know it's a bit pricey but you got to pay to play these days...love my X3 but this thing is on another level imo.
Any Yamaha project engineer out there? You could use the 1.8 (2zz) in a YXZ 1800 SS Banshee edition? Yamaha is pretty good at doing 4 cylinders anyways...one of the best with high rev too!
Screw all of the chassis measurements. I’m 6’3 and the only thing I comfortably fit in is the Can-Am X3. In fact I have to slide the seat forward One notch in that. Everything else I’m sitting more upright and feel cramped in
Are you going to do a complete review? What about low range and rock crawling? Comfort? It is hot to drive or did they insulate the heat? Are the seats supportive? Is it loud? Leg room? ect?
I have driven one on high speed trails in Michigan and I’m one of those 80 plus mph guys that most complain about and no it really cool inside compared to other rzr’s. That’s actually my favorite thing about it, it’s not crazy fast from my standards, it’s doesn’t handle crazy, good but nothing like omg but it is crazy comfortable!! Has to be the most smooth, quiet, high speed SxS I’ve ever driven. I’ll have one at some point, think it would be perfect with a turbo.👍
You have to see one in person to truly appreciate how absolutely absurd the Pro R is. The cool factor is off the charts for me. It’s like being back in 2013 comparing the XP1K to the OG RZR S.
Hmmm. I don't know. I've been waiting for 8 months for a recall replacement ECU for my sportsman ATV. I'd hate for that $40k machine to become a brick for lack of product support
.13 not 1.3 pound per hp. And .13 is a very good power to weight ratio. For reference that’s a better power to weight ratio than a 250cc dirt bike and about the same as a 450 dirt bike. I included the weight of a rider
Couldn’t justify another 15k$ over my 22xrs, I like the looks and the NA aspect but didn’t want to spend 45k before tax, then add the accessories, Im happy with the x3, it ruts the hell outta trails just fine 😉
I love seeing the CanAm Polaris SxS wars! However as much as I would love a Pro R, I have to question where can I ride it here in the east coast without having to deal with fitment issues. If the machines keep getting wider the only place to ride them will be jeep and buggy parks. Meeting on the edge of a cliff in Hatfield in 2 64" wide machines is almost a physics problem in some areas!
ok Polaris 2,100 lbs 225 hp - sand car 2400lbs 700 hp . hmmm doesn't really seem as much of a beast as everyone is making it out to be . but it is still pretty cool !
I keep reading that sxs are limited to 1000cc. So what is this vehicle considered to be if 1000cc is the limit of what they can use. Did something change?
Maybe with this much horsepower I would finally find a side by side, Fun. When I compare Side by Sides and Atv's to let alone dirt bikes... the driving experience in one of these regulated seat belted piles of crap isn't even close. I don't even want to drive them. I'd rather just park it and look at it. Which is why I ride dirt bikes and atv's and with the insane prices driven by ignorant emotions I think I will just continue on my way..
Should be legal for the road with that much Power n weight. MY Rav4 v6 is close to same weight and close to 300hp and tops out at 218kmph.Does it do over 200 kmph? And hell it's larger then one of my first cars a 1988 Toyota SR5 GT. The Price tag could go though. Might as well buy a Jeep with 300hp. Least Can drive it on the road and no trailer at all. Something about Not trailering as I get older that is 100% more value then any amount of power for a fire road car.
did you see that bump steer after the jump... maybe not so much bump steer but both front wheels looked like rag dolls... love the machine but that was clapt out wierd
I’ve heard rumors the stock can-am X3 Turbo RR (200hp) will still destroy this new Polaris “Pro R”… I was hoping for a comparison between the industry’s current two top dogs Sport UTVs within this review? Regardless, I think can-am build quality and reliability will keep me on the cam-am side, moving forward. That being said, good job Polaris for finally increasing HP numbers to match/beat the competition!
Polaris has really uped their fit and finish, I looked at a pro 4 seat and the thing was seriously huge. It makes a x3 look kinda small. Great review as always dirt trax👍
I just sold my X3 Max RS that was fully built. Picked up my Pro R 4 two weeks ago. My Can Am was a great machine. The Pro R 4 is in a whole other category. I put 35’s on my R right off the trailer. Highly recommended. It is a truly amazing machine. Expensive for sure. But sometimes you get what you pay for.
think about its 25 more horsepower but what does that 4 banger engine weight compared to that can am 3 banger or what does the car weight. I am willing bet that 25 horse is wasted on the weight of the car.
My cousin bought the 1000 turbo back in 2020. 5000 miles later the motor blew up. Very well maintained machine. The polaris dealership told him he was lucky to get 5000 miles out of it. We have 3 polaris ranger 570's at work and there complete garbage. If I was given a pooolaris I'd sell it!
$50k 😂 It should be even more than what it is! Facts, with this price tag I will tell you I had a 500hp half ton I run sand drags, mud pits, any and all trails I come across if fit I shredded if weren’t burying it to headlights & had less than $13k in it so please , $50k is no way worth what’s here
Coming at you head on in a corner near you.
Just like sleds have been for 20 years
Yeah a lot of morons going uncontrollable speeds on blind corners on these UTV’s.
Lots of morons everywhere doing everything
Why at corners? I can ride all day and not see anyone. Hit a blind corner and everyone is there? One of life’s mysteries….
Polaris is smokin crack with this price tag even people that got the money that’s still ridiculous
You guys are the only review company i even bother watching , right from 2008 polaris outlaw 525 irs on til now! Thanks fellas!
That's awesome. Thank you much. We appreciate your support.

Appreciate that 👊🏻💥🎉
@@dirttraxtv what is the song In this video artist and song title?
It's about time someone stepped up to the plate and take a huge swing at the market. Polaris breaking barriers with power and confidence.
.... and price
64,999 Canadian
@@beef-_-gun6431 thats crazy
Acting like Can Am hasn't been absolutely crushing the market with this statement 😅 bruh
Wish I could afford the price tag on the Pro R 4. Truly an amazing machine.
Awesome review as usual. Loved the slow motion shots at the start. I want a Pro R so badly but $50,000 Canadian is tough even though it is likely worth it.
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's an awesome machine but the price tag is just ridiculous.
Look em' up on Alibaba. Make sure it says verified seller. 5-7 day til shipped, save money.

Yes I own one exact same color and it is awesome what a side-by-side unbelievable it is totally a monster
Polaris pushing the boundaries, awesome stuff
Always love Dirt Trax Test Ride videos!!!
Thank you very much, guys!! Appreciate the love 🤘👊💥
I need a small machine so I don’t kill myself. This a beast, I’m sure lots of guys enjoying it!
Loads of good machines out there for half the price.
It's actually like 76.5 wide, i finally got my ultimate. I did do the stage 3 clutch kit and it made a difference from AA. I might go with the 35 inch tires
Can't wait until 2000cc UTVs get turbo'd!!💯🔥

They do a TON of damage to trails so it makes sense, people drive them hard and these machines love to make ruts.

Awesome review. Got me even more excited
Glad to hear it!
I wish Wisconsin would widen the trails and loosen up the laws so I could get one of these bad boys. I've gotta stick with the 64" Pro XP4 instead.
we ride in Pa. theres not a single place where i can go over 40 mph for more then a few minutes, i guess it depends on where you ride
I would love to have One but can’t afford it. Me and my wife both have great jobs and still can’t afford one that’s sad
Don’t feel bad. 90% of the guys buying them can’t afford them either. I see pictures all the time of a new rzr with a house trailer in the background. 😂 it’s not if you can afford it, it’s how long you can stretch it out to afford the payment
That thing has more horsepower than many midsized sedans
The 4 seat version handles even better, you wouldn’t even believe it!!!
Surprised you didn’t break any ball joints on those jumps
No ball joints. Luke's got a follow up walk around we will post later this week with dome comments about this machine. Stay tuned.
This is a shot in the dark and will probably never happen. But what if Yamaha put the 1.8L supercharged motor that's in the GP1800 R SVHO in an SXS? Personally, they could figure it out but, most likely to never happen.
I hope some time in the future they make a v6 side by side
Stock, it has not much more power than the maverick, but the potential of the new 2litre engine is huge
Awesome machine, but I can't get over the insane cost for these things.
Good lord this thing sounds beautifully angry...these things with the speed limiter removed will hit 105 mph and around these parts we do a lot of lake racing in winter months and that makes you lake king...I know it's a bit pricey but you got to pay to play these days...love my X3 but this thing is on another level imo.
Impressive machine. Competition is a wonderful thing.
Total beast of a machine,and it sounds awesome with a aftermarket exhaust!!! I just hope I don’t meet any on the trails
If meeting append,keep your side tight 😂
Love it but to wide for where I ride even my 72" x3 can be an issue
Any Yamaha project engineer out there? You could use the 1.8 (2zz) in a YXZ 1800 SS Banshee edition? Yamaha is pretty good at doing 4 cylinders anyways...one of the best with high rev too!

Drive what you're comfortable in. Luke's about that height too.
Yes badass 44k is a lot! If you want it, get it!! Waiting for mine to get here
Are you going to do a complete review?
What about low range and rock crawling? Comfort? It is hot to drive or did they insulate the heat? Are the seats supportive? Is it loud? Leg room? ect?
We have a follow up to this coming later in the week.

@@tnross23 you want a turbo on it!? Good grief
Lol yep, enough isn’t ever enough in my world. Kinda sucks, if it isn’t under the 5-6 lbs per horsepower I get bored.😎
@@tnross23 Cool. Comfort is good when we're spending hours on a long trail. Polaris has been upping performance for sure. Now let's make them comfy.

Sick driving
Hmmm. I don't know. I've been waiting for 8 months for a recall replacement ECU for my sportsman ATV. I'd hate for that $40k machine to become a brick for lack of product support
The all new polaris trail rut maker
I wish all sxs's had the same belt as this sxs
Very cool video for an awesome machine. What is the song name in the background? Definitely a sweet ride
I think it is called tip of the spear
The price and the snowmobile cvt type clutch are the worst.
Is it me, or does it sound like a K20? Would love to try one of these.
I'll buy one as soon as Polaris loses the antiquated belt drive system and finally enters the 21st century of drive systems.
Nice
Nice machine, but where heck would I drive that in Haliburton, ON? Would be fun in the south west US on the dunes.
Had to trailer it to find a good, wide open location, plus we also rode at a track.
Man do I miss the outlaw 450's... way cooler machines and more capable too.😔
Loved the Outlaw.
Guys will be putting big turbos on them 500hp will be seen soon sp far we beat the piss out of this for testing and all is good.
I'd like to know where this test run was done. Love to have that much land to run on.
Absolute beauty

Well said! ✌️👊💥
Exactly!! Can Am makes a 200hp 64" wide machine and the 74" option, same exact vehicles but width.
Damn I wish I could afford one of these!
Now for them to update the sportsman frame and driveline issues, that sxs should be road legal with that kind of power 😂
i bought the whole speedo damn sure ima use the whole speedo lmao
Now you're gettin it 😄
And if you do actually use all of it... then is it too much? Or is it not enough?
looks impressive but for that price it better be reliable. Polaris doesn't have the best track record though lol
We've had a few issues and we are hearing a few more.
I have the RzR Pro R Ultimate I blew a bearing at 60.4 miles
Wheel bearing
Been hearing a lot of this. We have a follow up video coming soon...
Almost 40k online
Price is insane.
@@dirttraxtv CFMOTO Uforce 1000 here I come.
Wonder why they got rid of the cool looking grill with the awesome lights.
I don't know why everybody worries about horsepower so much
ok Polaris 2,100 lbs 225 hp - sand car 2400lbs 700 hp . hmmm doesn't really seem as much of a beast as everyone is making it out to be . but it is still pretty cool !
That's what I was thinking. This thing needs 225 HP to push its 2144 pound dry weight around. Yikes, that's a big girl.
This thing is going to be a replacement to Class 10 buggies in desert racing with the price and power compared to full tub chassis buggies.
Hey come on, give me a windshield!
cant WAIT to oeder mine. My god this thing is ammazing.
They're going to have to require a special license and a breathalyzer for ignition to keep the rest of us safe from these monstrosities...
😆
Good luck getting insurance?
These guys drive around loaded to the tits.
Why is there always some much talk about horsepower and almost zero talk about torque? They are both very important
True
The new Benchmark of weight and still running on a f****** rubber band
Still not giving up on the belts lol
Polaris finally approved a new motor so let's see what happens
New motor?
This is the 2.0 liter
Check out Kart cross , now that's a side by side.
I keep reading that sxs are limited to 1000cc. So what is this vehicle considered to be if 1000cc is the limit of what they can use. Did something change?

those pro r are awesome I have driven one already the Polaris dealership I work has already sold a pro r
did you see the back end rear tire wobble on the landing at 2:34 when they did slow mo. Good bye wheel bearings!
Never ever to much use it all just blast woot woot
Just wow. What's the price tag? I'll sleep in this thing.
Like 50 grand...
That machine is scary.
the only place to really use that power is the racing and dunes.
Desert running and wide open areas is where this thing would shine.
Should be legal for the road with that much Power n weight. MY Rav4 v6 is close to same weight and close to 300hp and tops out at 218kmph.Does it do over 200 kmph? And hell it's larger then one of my first cars a 1988 Toyota SR5 GT. The Price tag could go though. Might as well buy a Jeep with 300hp. Least Can drive it on the road and no trailer at all. Something about Not trailering as I get older that is 100% more value then any amount of power for a fire road car.
Why do all SXS nose dive off jumps?
Now take it to the dunes and tell me if it stills has enough power. Way different feel in the soft sand. Recommend Imperial Sand dunes.
Still Chinese bearings in the transmission?
This would be dope if it had Robby’s speed car suspension on it…
did you see that bump steer after the jump... maybe not so much bump steer but both front wheels looked like rag dolls...
love the machine but that was clapt out wierd
I would buy this and throw on a turbo and bigger intercooler and get ya near 290 bhp...zooooooommmmmmmmmmmm
Daaaaaaaam i hate being Poor 😢
