• What’s happening, everybody? Nick Olson, Chupacabra Offroad, back in the desert in Arizona with the Burroughs—awesome group that invites me on all their amazing rides.
• Big 3-day ride:
  • Day 1: Havasu → Wayside → Wickenburg
  • Day 2: Wickenburg → Crown King → Back to Wickenburg
  • Day 3: Wickenburg → Havasu (Return Trip)
• Last time he did this route, he was in a Can-Am X3, but now running the Pro R.
• Testing different suspension modes and fuel consumption.
• Group size: ~15 UTVs, including Mavericks, X3s, Speed, Turbo S’s, and other Pro R’s.
• Just stopped briefly to shed a layer, grab water, and keep moving.

(5:07) – First Major Stop: Wayside (80 miles in)

• Current fuel status:
  • Put 3 extra gallons in a bit earlier.
  • RZR took 7 more gallons at this stop.
  • Fuel mileage is better than expected.
• Testing suspension settings and planning an in-depth review video soon.
• Weather: Perfect, with a little bit of a breeze.
• Trail conditions:
  • Very dusty (no rain for a while in Arizona).

(6:07) – Morning of Day 2: Wickenburg → Crown King

• Weather: Surprisingly not that cold.
• Ride Details:
  • 117-mile round trip to Crown King and back.
  • Avoiding a previously super technical section that was “spicy” last time.
• Pro R Performance:
  • Perfect for these long-distance adventure rides.

(10:55) – Lunch Stop: Crown King

• Enjoying a burger lunch in the cool mountain breeze.
• Monday ride = Less traffic (weekends are much busier).
• Phoenix Offroad Culture:
  • Common ride is Lake Pleasant → Crown King → Back.
  • Popular ride for UTVs & full-size off-road rigs.
• Trail Conditions:
  • Dry & rough, more worn than ever due to lack of rain.
  • More traffic on this route than before.
• Next plan: Ride back down to Wickenburg for the night.

(13:00) – Morning of Day 3: Wickenburg → Havasu

• Fast-paced ride home.
• Avoiding private property sections before reaching open trails.
• Terrain:
  • Insanely smooth sections (rare for Arizona).
  • Wash-bottom trails with sand but no rocks.
• Excitement Level:
  • "It’s crazy how smooth and flowy these trails are—one of the best riding spots in AZ!"
• Today’s plan:
  • Keeping a fast pace.
  • Watching for belt issues due to long, hard miles.
• Great group = Minimal mechanical issues so far.

(21:36) – Reaction After Epic Section

• "That might have been the most fun I’ve ever had on trails in Arizona—maybe ever!"

• Trail comparison:

  • First part reminded him of Mike’s Road in Baja—tight, technical, and high-speed sections.
  • Later, even tighter single-track style trails, which felt like riding dirt bike single track but in a UTV.
  • Avoiding cholla cactus on tight turns made it extra thrilling.

• Testing Sliding & Tire Performance:

  • RZR Pro R is big & heavy, making it harder to drift.
  • Got more aggressive mid-way, pushing the car to its limits.
  • Tires: Tensor Regulator 2s @ 17 PSI.
  • Performance: Better traction than the previous Tensor DSRs.
  • “Might even lower PSI for more grip.”

• Suspension Review:

  • The G-outs on this ride are deceptively harsh.
  • Adjusting settings for better handling over bumps.

(24:22) – Final Thoughts

• Encouraging viewers to try this Arizona route.
• Final fast-paced section coming up!
• Wrapping up 400+ miles over three days with minimal issues.
