SPEED UTV FIRST RIDE IMPRESSION | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

- FINALLY!! Us believers in Speed UTV are getting to take the first cars on a test drive, been waiting for such a long time.
We had some challenges, but overall I think this SxS is going to be a fantastic car, and make a lot of people happy. This is a long video, but I think it points out a lot of good details.
Overall, for the price I paid, I think I stole it. The quality is fantastic, the shocks work extremely well, and keep in mind this is a brand new company, first 10 cars. It's pretty remarkable what Robby Gordon and his team have accomplished. I'm stoked to be apart of the first test drive, which is a part of history for the brand.
Comment below, if you have any questions I may not have answered, thanks for watching, and check out our products below.
Here is the link from the Friday reveal party.

The people criticizing the Speed UTV for its current bugs and problems are the same guys that are installing bulkheads and double shearing all the components on their brand new X3’s 😂 And this is coming from a current Can am owner. Each car has its weakness so of course this car will have some issues that will need attention as they are put to the test.
You don't have a can am don't lie.
I couldn’t have said it better myself
@@ChupacabraOffroadlol you didn’t even drive your car… yours broke.
Bahahaha! You ain't lying brotha!. 🙋♂️ guilty
can am never made promises that its the end all be all car like robby did.
Thanks Nick, appreciate all the info and break down of the Car. You always put out great videos and lookin forward to the next.🤙🤙
Enjoyed your review man! You always do a good job with your videos! Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing with those of us still waiting. I'll be looking forward to more detailed videos when you get your car back.
Excellent initial review Nick. Thanks for taking the time. Can't wait to see how it performs out in Glamis. Looking forward to your thoughts on power.
Mad respect Nick and thanks for the video/videos! I had no doubt Speed will work out the kinks. BTW I appreciate what you do for the SXS community and will be ordering your products for my El Jefe
Thank you!
Great coverage of both the car and the event, looks like it was a lot of fun!
Great video man. Super informative. Your going to have a ton of fun with that machine, they look awesome. I can’t wait to see one in person.
Great video! Thanks for the initial feedback. Look forward to the future content!
supersupersuper....was waiting sooo long for your comment, nice to heare about your ride, suspension...its all about. love to hear next report from you
That intro kills me.. I have ben waiting for your speed video for ever. Love the content,keep the vids flowing.
Thanks for the support Neil 💪🏻
Ready to pre order my door bags when you’re ready. Great content
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome content Nic, thanks for putting this out there for all of us. You know the Speed customers were getting anxious 😂
I’m thankful people want to watch 💪🏻
@@ChupacabraOffroad I'm excited for you to get your car and really start putting the hard numbera out there🤘🏼
Thanks for the update, Also please keep the videos coming on the speed utv!
Will do
Thanks for a honest review and footage of the ride Nick . Can’t wait for you to get yours and see what you can make for the speed UTV. I’m sure the Speed community will support and buy Chupacabra off road stuff for their UTV’s . I’ll be waiting to see what you think of the brakes after you break them in and put 35’s on yours. The brake upgrade definitely isn’t cheap. Thanks again.
Thank you 🫡
I’m gonna start off with Mark you’re a great sport and it was nice to hear more in depth how the car works. Great review.
This video alone is proving how successful these cars will be. They have everyone's attention. That is a massive achievement all on it's own. We live in a world chalked full of experts that are still working hourly jobs. When you have those people flocking towards every post centered around your product the sales will come easy. Personally it's tough to ignore those people's lack of education. I'm a fighter. To pull punches and walk away from an idiot is really tough. But this entire process has been very eye opening to me as a small business owner. It's easy to regurgitate one liners but to actually come to terms with the fact that negative attention is good attention in business... yeah that's harder than people know. I'm learning though.
I agree with you and find it hard not to argue with the willfully ignorant. I am always willing and love to have an informative discussion about these machines. And I don't understand how, after looking at all the facts, design, and intent behind it between all three options, being analytical and using critical thinking skills, I came to the choice of the Speed, but I'm the "fanboy" and a "Robby nut swinger". I got better at just staying out of it and to stop arguing with a wall. Stupid people make me mad. But taking that step back, I noticed every SxS group I am in are constantly posting and talking about Speed. For now, I think all the negative regurgitated bs is hurting to a degree. But in the long run, once all the bugs are worked out and there are thousands of cars running around, people will take notice and will get support.
In business there's a saying, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."👍
You got the nicest color way! I saw it on another video and was like wow! Congratulations!!!
Your car is so bad ass! Couldn’t wait for this video to come out. Excellent video
Thanks G
Nice review. Nothing wrong with some minor teething pains. I'm looking forward to the future reviews and comparisons.
Great video Nick as always this one should see the view count hit 2k+ in 20 mins🤘🤘.
Just finished the video. Extremely thorough. Well done!
The wheelbase, gearing, and pre wiring sound amazing. Hope the bugs are small and get worked out very soon and we get to see it out at Sand Hollow and then some Glamis footage!
-Royce
Thank you Royce 💪🏻 the world needs to see you take it over the rocks as well
Great video x and for all the people saying oh you broke down and are complaining… that’s why Robbie only came out with just a small group of cars… so he can find all the problems before he does 500 cars a month. And you know Nic will even put it threw it’s hard core tests..
Very cool looking forward to see the comparisons between your cars that you already have! Good to see it finally come to fruition.
Thanks for your honesty. They have a bit of work to do, for sure. But that’s 1000% to be expected on such early production cars. They’ll get it sorted. With help from honest, constructive feedback like yours. Subscribed
Awesome, can't wait to get one.
These problems occur with the current production of other vehicles my X3 had a charge tube come off on me within one mile and my buddy's X3 had a short in the wiring harness that fried his whole harness.
Great content!
Sweet and awesome that the back wheel and suspension system didnt fall off. Hope to see one of these at Winchester bay soon.
Awesome video Nick! I think there are a lot of people grateful for this first taste of information and hungry to learn more as you get to put the Speed car in your garage and ride in other types of terrain. 👏🏻👏🏻😎
Thanks Marv
Been waiting for this
Thank you
Nice Job!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Awesome impression/review video Nic!👌 What are your thoughts on the hydraulic power steering?
Sucks you didn't get much seat time time in your machine, but it's good for everyone else. Finding that failure should ensure it doesn't happen again. Great video.
That night ride at the end was great 👍
Yes it was
Yes, a good review!!
Appreciate the honesty
Thank you
I remember when the Polaris first came out I was one of the first guys to get it at the investor party and the same thing happened to me. Except it was a engine problem
Awesome job on the video. How was the power steering feed back? And how low is low gear compared to a Can am?
Rocking the SOLID helmet. We love to run these helmets as well.
🤘🏼
We run towels on the seat just adds a lil more padding helps a tone with the carbon race seats
I think if we all took a look back at how Polaris and can am started off we can find plenty of mistakes. This small team starting and entire new brand on this level and scale is incredible it would take someone that’s and entrepreneur to understand and respect the process. his reputation is on the line and that’s what drove him to do this in the first place this is also why people will be treated first class when it comes to sorting out the issues that come up. Honestly I think it would be cool to be a part of the first group of buyers like you guys and get to ride with the CEO’s, engineers, tuners, mechanics and all that would be cool not many people can say that. Great honest review Nick thanks for the content.
Correction it's not a small team. Hisun motors is a big company
@@cautionontherun30 it still started small tell he realized he couldn’t take on the orders he received. It’s also he small team that designed everything they just provided the facilities to put it all together and his guidance to put it together how he wants it.
It’s almost the same as the 2 seater wildcat xx but made it to a 4 seater and upgraded engine and transmission overall I think it came out good
Very well said KC. I agree.
Seems like its going to be a great car. I think you did get a great value. Robbie knows his $hit. I'm sure there is going to be a few growing pains but that happens. Hope you get your car back soon and i'm looking forward to more content!!
It looks like it rides great
Mr. Aftermarket, how about an overhead console for the radio...
If I remember correctly RG said they are taking forever to deliver the speed utv because they are testing all vehicles so the consumer have a product they can rely on. That's why pre-production vehicles were taken to different terrains to dial in.
Nick thank you! One question you didn't talk about the power? Was that because you couldn't get on it enought due to not being broke in? I'm just curious what you thought and is this good power its making? We do glamis alot and curious how that will work out. Wonder how it will stack up on the can am or pro r. Hoping the same or better.
I’ll have more information to report once I get it, I have to run it hard in open desert sections and dunes to accurately describe it
Nick, did they give you an owner's manual or online one with videos for maintenance? Is there a part's catalog to order parts as needed?
Gret video Nick. Thanks for getting that out. Quick question. Did you upgrade the seat belt harness or is that the stock one you and you dad were using?
Stock 5 point
I got this old vehicle mounted thermal camera that i thought about using on the car. Do you think theres room between the driver and passenger to have a 7" screen at the right edge of the center consel but angled towards the driver? I was hoping this car would be fairly roomy compared to an x3 or xx.
I’ll measure, because if I decide to drop the radio down low it might not fit either
I really want to see the Speed UTV succeed. It looks awesome, all the specs are exactly what most people want in a sxs. I didn’t know about the 3 speed gearbox. That is really awesome. Robby has had a lot of bad press around the speed UTV but he knows his stuff. I can’t wait to see one in person. Great video!
Really like the dash that screen is nice hopefully the other brands learn a thing or 2 from this new brand . This is the time were been first in not good lol gonna wait for second third generation so they work all the bugs out . At this time this cars are just used as guinea pigs .
I ordered the seat air cushions and the seat heaters. Can't wait to here how you like your ride. Hope to get mine by May. What are the stock settings on the shocks .... high/low and rebound. Can't wait to give Ned a ride from MTS at UTV Takeover in Coos Bay Oregon. Are you planning on using another set of stock wheels for your paddles or ....... ??
I’m going to get some Gucci lightweight wheels for my paddles
Let's be Honest for once. I was there on Saturday morning for the Elite 10 Ride. I video taped all the Car Issues that were developing. Dead Batteries and No Gas. Buy your car with the most extended warranty you can and then some. Where was the Speed Helicopter during this epic Ride.
You are right then needed gas to get over to the station and a few batteries were dead, they should have had that all dialed before we arrived.
It was awesome seeing you Friday night sharing your experience with your dad. Can you comment on your thoughts driving the Bandit? I have an RG Bandit coming so very curious. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.
I think the bandit is going to be really badass, stiff competition with the pro r and X3, which have perfect wheelbases, but I think the bandit is built tough
The pro r and turbo r has 3” shocks in the front and rear FYI
Thanks for correcting me I assumed it was still 2.5. I still believe they are 10” stroke and the speed is 12”
A few questions.
1. Punchyness, power delivery. Does the turbo hit like the X3?
2. Stock exhaust note? Do you plan to replace it?
3. When do you get to bring it home?
Early March, and Ill run it back to back with the X3… more to come soon
Awesome video!
Question on the pci...you said you had to buy a cable? I have the pci ordered on my car and was just curious what exactly you ordered.
The plug-in for the headset is on the dash next to the radio. Normally, helmets only have a short plug coming out it. You need the extension cable to go from your headset to the dash plug-in. If you get an over the head ear muff style head set, they usually have that longer cable already.
Jumpers from the dash to the helmets
Have you been able to pick up your car can't wait to hear about real world driving experience
How many of the first few get flipped for way more than MSRP?
So, how does it compare to your former race vehicles?
Ughhh, it’s sick Nick but…with the price of the speed/pro R, and the money I’d have dump into an x3 to make it last. It’s really thought for me to want to give up my 21’ turbo S w/dynamix and ST tuned suspension.
That said, congrats bro! You’re killin the game.
I think the term you were looking for is backshift. I have the RG clutch on my xx with zero backshift and I prefer that in the desert
Thank you
Appreciate the initial review. How do you feel this car will translate at Glamis?
Good question- if the belt temps are fine with the speed key it will be amazing IMO
Hello, and thank you for the review. I got to see you climb in your car at the grand opening. I have my deposit on one as well. Overall, this car has extreme potential. With that said, there were some things that really bothered my wife and I. I am a quality assurance engineer and wrenched my entire life-so naturally, I see things that others don’t at times. I was disappointed with some things on the cars. The exterior fit and finish was disappointing and the assembly was disappointing as well. A $70k car shouldn’t have peeling away graphics, or marring on the control arms or the cage from assembly and/or tooling. For example, on several cars, the cages looked like old seat posts of a bicycle frame with the zig-zagged scratches resulting from the twisting back and forth action trying to pull it apart. The window net clamps were slid over the cage in a similar fashion during installing which caused this same type of scratching. I can go on but, Robby needs to focus on establishing a quality management system because I can tell the manufacturing processes are not yet mature.
still waiting for your Car to be delivered? do you have a date when this will happen? have any of the first batch cars been delivered to customers?
I got to see this thing smash through turkey claw at hammers. Looked super smooth in the rocks!
Nick I’m 889 was wondering what you thought of the power on pump gas. Curious compared to your Polaris or Can Am?
Need more seat time to answer that
Ride on man!! Sweet rig, I herd you Friday on opening day talking about a windshield did you get it?
Not yet
Overall machine looks good. Sucks urs had a hiccup. Great video
Thanks G! Excited to get you in it asap I know the world wants to know what you think about it too
Looks like a good Frankie addition to the stable
@@ChupacabraOffroad dont tease me😅
@@ChupacabraOffroad Yeah I want to see G in the speed
Nick, what air pressures do your normally run in desert riding?
12-16 usually, 12 for slower rocky rides. But the speed is heavier so I will go a little higher
Really its not hard to make a UTV better then a CanAm or a Polaris, as all that have ever owned them and really used them know they are just junk, belts suck, suspension breaks, everything junk. I have talked to countless people who prerun Baja and have rental companies in the Baja that have changed over to the Honda Talon and simply do not have all these problems and no belts to wear out or break as it has a proper gearbox. Good on Robbie for making the Speed one but I feel he's trying to re-invent the wheel. Time will tell.
Hi Nick, as others have said...thanks so much for putting this video together so soon. All of us "pre orders" are anxious to hear everything and anything. Couple of questions if you don't mind... 1. Do you know the specs on the stock factory full skid plate? 2. Sounded like a lot of noise from squeaking, rattles and suspension noise on the video. Do you feel it is more, less or about the same as the other SXSs? 3. Did your car come with 32" or 33" tires? Thanks! David #3385
Not sure on the skid, but get the beefier upgrade. Stock is 32” tires. Todd’s car has a lot of miles so I will report if my car ends up having a lot of noises, comparable to the X3 I have and Rzrs I’ve owned
Atleast the guy that cracked his transmission is getting a new one because of another defect. Maybe he gets the thicker skid now lol
Nick i heard you and my buddy Rick car 14 had a great time chatting about the cars and can am stuff. Stoked for you guys. I got to hear about it from Rick and Todd. Congrats on your new car. I know your a suspension guru what’s your thoughts on the shocks and suspension set up ?
Rick is a cool dude, we had a blast 🤘🏼
I’m no expert but I want to put a few hundred miles on it, and see if a spring kit would make it better…. Love chasing optimal suspension performance
@@ChupacabraOffroad Rick was telling me the same thing. We had just gotten back from baja and had a blast. Is 4 seat can am is pretty well built. So with that being said from what I’ve seen it looks like the car handles very good. We have been talking about doing the Az peace trail. I know you have done that ride a couple times. Did you get GPS notes for the ride ? Looks like a fun time. You definitely look like you know what your doing with suspension. I have been following your IG account and CZcams account for a long time. Your content is awesome. Looking forward to your future videos on the speed car. Thanks Nick.
Was there a big difference in ride between your car and Todds? I would assume Todd's car already has the upgraded springs.
@@shitisee4915 my car rode better than Todd’s…
Soo what you’re saying is that I can come drive it when you get it ! Lol
Ha
I love what Robby is doing but I have to shake my head on the busted case after hitting the big rock. The XX that he designed had the same weak spot when it came out.
I agree some additional metal plate to protect it better, along with the beefier skid it should cover you 95% of the time
What about the quality of the owners and Maintenance manuals? How about the Tools supplied.
Will report back later on this
Did you ever get your machine back from Speed?
Nick how much is model number 6 from speed Utv
$32k base price
Once they are available at dealerships my Can am will be for sale.
So please let me know I made the right decision on ordering and receiving my pro r4 ultimate?? Was going to place order on speed utv but for some reason the rear half shafts just didn't make sense they were to skinny and just didn't look heavy duty enough. I've owned rzrs and the pro r is holy shit by far a beast and the live valve on it is ridiculous. Soooo speed utv or pro r ultimate?
Pro r
Also I want to still buy a speed utv and rock both but just not sure now for real. Can't believe the wiring harness is even by the driveshft and the wires rubbing on it?? That's not good lol.
You need to understand that a trailing arm is a much better setup than radius rods for a bunch of reasons. Look at any class one car or TT.
@@vazpaii2000 how do you think it gets from the front to the back?
@@zacharystiver6419 yeah I understand that part but still should be a little thicker
Are all the cars wrapped? No opion for paint?
Yew, wrap only that you get to costumize.
Whats going on in the dash on the passenger side?
It's just a decal to indicate that the second dash option is available.
Out of the box? What brand is best performing, minus glitches?
TBD….
Where was Robbie at the speed Utv reveal at
Lake Havasu AZ
You live in Phoenix but lake havasu cool
So shorted wire harness 3 miles in, can't put it in 4wd, no shift on the fly, and alot of the "creature comforts" aren't good. Good to know
hi..............it is sooo silence about the spoeed, i hoped to heare now a lot about the car-performance
If I was a bettin man I bet Polaris does not just settle! Nor Can Am I bet we are going to get sick AF RZR and X3s soon
Still they will have radius rods so the physics will still be off.
@RobHarrisakabobbychuck all I know these 2 multi billion dollar company is not going to let this small company come in and beat them and take there market share!
Sounds like most the issues are just poor qc on the china end. On the other hand robby has been with those cars since they were concieved in china and these are gunna be the most inspected cars out of the entire production. I know when i get my car, im gunna look everything over before i ride it. I was hoping of all things the gas gauge would be accurate cause it bugs me on long rides when it reads empty for half the ride so i end up driving like a grandma when i wanna go fast and enjoy my ride.
Really most of what they are finding is going to be added to their inspection checklist. You don't know what all you have to check until you start finding problems.
@@ODXJ your probably right. All part of starting production. Im still gunna be a little paraniod till i stop hearing about problems. Im hoping they add anti rock intrusion bar under the transmission so i dont have to keep spending 1000$ here and there on upgrades.
It's hard to ignore a brand new car needing towed within the first 20 miles, regardless of the reason, especially when you take into account the totality of everything that's been going on. I don't think people would be so forgiving to take home a Pro R and have to tow it home on the first ride. That being said, I'd love to have one if they prove reliability and access to replacement parts. Car certainly looks awesome and I love that you can shift gears on the fly. That is huge for me.
I agree very much
You can’t legally buy a Pro R right now due to the stop ride. Once he gets a bigger sample set of cars out there 500-1000+ we will get a better idea of the reliability rate % vs the competition
@@ChupacabraOffroad Hmmmm. I bought a Pro R Ultimate a week ago. The Pro R will walk away from any current Speed car. Dont waist your money on Speed, maybe they will get better? I love the competition between the markets, it makes everyone step up there game.
@@ChupacabraOffroad damn, resorting to lying to hype up this car. You can walk into any dealer and buy a Pro R right now and register it and take it home...
Turbo R is on stopride. I had my machine for three weeks and only 8 hours of ride time. Now it has been sitting for three months.
Did 2 get towed back..what happened
Mine car had the wiring harness and the other happened the first day, not sure exactly, electronic maybe.
Good review, but honestly, I'm not impressed that axles or belts didn't break at 100ish miles. They absolutely shouldn't break with that limited amount of time
Have you received your car yet?
thinking about your heated seats, why not heated clothes, Gerbing makes a liner thermoset controlled
Maybe a heated jacket, I agree, but heated seats are sweet.
@@ChupacabraOffroad I have their liners and gloves they are sweet the gloves, oh and they have socks
It feels like you are being gentle and going slow as if your afraid it will break? You should be able to go 40 to 60 mph in the open desert terrain. I could in my Wildcat X 1000 I had back in the day.
He was going 40-60. Just not 100 mph
A zip tie caused a stop ride 😂
First 10 cars we will be back soon… 💪🏻
I want this to be successful and so DIALED in. Can't wait to see where these go. I wish they'd go away from belt technology tho. Coming from a jackson talon guy. they are lacking lol (mostly in the dunes) but the shifting is fun. Suspension 👎. Power 👎. Geometry 👎. I want speeds to succeed. Things aways happens once it goes to a factory for mass production things happen. Quality control will improve with time.
