UTV Shootout: Polaris RZR XP 1000 Rocks and Trails VS Can-Am Maverick Sport X RC

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

If you are in the market for a new UTV capable of both trail riding and rock crawling, we've got a great comparison for you! We took the 2020 Polaris RZR XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Edition and the 2020 Can-Am Maverick Sport X RC to Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township, PA to run a heads up comparison of both machines. Both UTV's performed incredibly well. This video will provide you with a taste of the action and then we break down the specifics of each UTV/SxS, with a specific discussion about engines, transmissions, suspension, wheels and tires, dimensions, and creature comforts. In the end, we provide our thoughts on each machine's strengths and what we feel they'd be most capable of doing.
At the end of the day, the amount of technology that has gone into both of these amazing UTV's is incredible! You won't go wrong buying either one, but if you are a discerning consumer, we'll provide you with all the details you'll want to make the best decision about purchasing.

    With owning both of these brands I would shy away from Polaris due to reliability. Polaris are good when new but tend to need more maintenance and more often in my experience. I have also owned atvs of both brands and same way. I grew up with Polaris and have changed to Can Am.

    Awesome comparison. I have a 2019 XRC and was very close to buying the Polaris, I have zero regrets about my Can Am XRC. I put almost 2,500 miles on it last winter relentlessly pounding on it in the Arizona rocks and trails. Outstanding machine.

    Great video. Just got my 2020 xrc and rode it last weekend in Vermont. My previous ride was a 2015 xp 1000 desert edition which is similar to the Rocks and Trails. The xrc feels significantly more nimble on the trails and it high speed corners so flat which was surprising. Granted the springs need to break in and settle, but the rzr has a much softer and pillow-like ride quality. Can am fit and finish is the best though. Untouchable.

    If does this why idling or while you’re driving? It’s definitely normal for high performance engines exhausts to do that at and idle because they are holding a lot of heat from not moving. That doesn’t mean that’s it’s fine though. So if it only does it when it’s not moving, then just shut it off if your gonna be stopped for more than a minute

    I like both machines and will be in the market for one these at the end of the year. For me the advantage goes to Polaris because of the trailing link suspension. I do more trails than rocks and the trailing link suspension is a better all around ride. Having said that, I do like the looks of the Can Am and could buy one if I found a tremendous deal on a close out. Good video.

  • @SpeedingMedia

    I would normally agree, but we actually felt the Can-Am felt better on the trails. I'm guessing this is likely due to the Fox shocks on the Can-Am. After spirited trail riding both machines on the same trail, the Fox shocks were warm to the touch, whereas the Walker Evans shocks were so hot they couldn't be touched.

    I felt like at slower speeds, the RZR felt softer and more compliant. As speeds picked up, I actually preferred the way the Can Am felt.
