2021 KAWASAKI KRX 1000 – MORE OF THE SAME? | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

0 comments

Well, no 4-seater, no turbo model, not even a 50” model. Kawasaki teased us with “7 new models”, but unfortunately, it was the KRX 1000 with a Trail and Special Edition models, which are basically some accessories and graphics added to the KRX. Kawasaki teased us with what we thought would at least be a new 4 seat model, hopefully, we don’t have to wait a year for that to come to market.

Can Am launched the new 2021 X3 lineup, and honestly, we were hoping for a little bit more. The big news is the new Fox LiveValve suspension system they call “Smart Shox” which is available in a 2 or 4 seat 195 HP RR model. Surprisingly this feature isn’t standard on the top-tier RC edition model.

SO YOU WANT TO GO RACING? | PART 13 | ECU & CLUTCH TUNING | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

0 comments
This RZR was running as good as it ever ran until it wasn’t. Unfortunately, we are going to have to go with a new motor and start over. There is no finger-pointing guys, in all honesty, many things have happened to cause this. And I think this is pretty uncommon in RZR motors, lots of racers run 2500-3500 race miles in them no problem.

SO YOU WANT TO GO RACING PART 12 | INCREASING RACE SPEED WITH ADAM CASTANEDA

0 comments
A good way to figure out how to go faster is to reach out to other racers, learn, watch, and ride along. As we’ve been making improvements to the race car, we can push harder, and once we figure out tuning and clutching, we will be at a whole new level of speed. The shock tuning has given us a ton of confidence! We met up at Geiser Loop to see how it felt, in a spot we know well.

BRINGING THE KIDS | HELMETS & BOOSTER SEATS I USE FOR 2-4 YEAR OLDS

0 comments
There isn’t much better than you kids getting old enough to start going offroading. As a parent you want them to be as comfortable and safe as possible. There’s a lot to think about with helmets, as 2-4 year olds do not have a lot of neck strength. Coupled with rough terrain, they are going to get bounced around.

For day 3, we loaded up and headed to Sand Hollow. Most of the group hadn’t been to this area, which was fun to show them more sand, more rocks, more trails, a few whoops, and really making this a great Southern Utah trip. We covered so much, and there’s still so much more to go back and see.

3 DAYS IN SOUTHERN UTAH WITH THE ROCKY POINT RENEGADES | DAY 2 | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

You can’t hit Southern Utah without some sand dunes, right? Today we rode to Coral Pink, did a little duning, and had a few issues, which altered the second half of our ride. We ended up heading back through the Barracks trail again, which becomes even more fun after you know the turns.

IS THIS THE NEW RZR & X3 KILLER? SPEED UTV BREAKDOWN (PART 1)

0 comments

Am I getting starry-eyed with this new Southwest whoop eater? It doesn’t make sense, just 3 months ago, I made a video saying that Speed wouldn’t be able to produce this SxS in 2020, and at the Sand Show, I thought people were crazy for putting down deposits on this new car.

Perfect dunes and perfect weather sum up this past weekend in Glamis. As most of you duners know, each trip is different for different reasons, the group you are with, the rides you go on, the carnage, the weather, but I will remember this weekend for being the best conditions I’ve witnessed in quite a while.
