After reading everything on the site, and getting really nervous about the machine I wanted to write a quick review.
Fit and finish is excellent. Not the rattle trap I expected at all. A/C is great. Stereo is great! Suspension is absolutely beyond my expectations. Even after coming from the electronic suspension on the Pro XP.
This forum had me genuinely concerned I might not leave with the machine due to the noise. I am happy to say that this machine is less noisy than my 2021 Pro XP and the exhaust note isn’t as abrasive. Simply flipping the rear seats up lowers the volume at my head so that leads me to believe that putting in the sound deadening material will help a ton too. It’s not really worth it to me at this point. The noise level is fine with me.
I’m very impressed with this machine in every way but one. I do feel like it’s significantly underpowered. Im sure some of that is because I’m used to the power of the XP and how it doesn’t notice climbs etc. Some of it is because I live and ride at around 8500’ altitude. I didn’t need or buy any power upgrades for my XP, but I would for this machine. It’s ok under around 35mph, but it just doesn’t have the power above that.
Reports were that it was rough on gas mileage and I don’t have great numbers for you but here’s my experience: first day was garbage and I was disappointed with it. After putting some miles on it…maybe 4 hours of riding…it uses a ton less fuel and runs a little higher speed at lower RPM than day 1. I did the Alpine Loop this weekend and it was down to 40% tank rather than the 17-20% my RZR would be at. And that’s with it running significantly higher RPMs than the rzr would have all day.
Minor gripe would be that it would have been nice to have the steering wheel that has the buttons like the XP for the price tag on this machine.
Bonus note: I bought the large roof rack and it mounts up nice and solid.
That sums it up for me. Ill be getting rid of the XP, but I sure will miss that effortless power.
