After picking up the RZR 4 Turbo S, I joined a group of 12 other SxS’s on a 3 day, 300 mile trip through Northern Arizona, for Labor Day weekend. If you are interested in why I purchased a RZR over an X3.
Another OEM has thrown their hat into the Sport SxS ring, Kawasaki’s new Teryx TRX 1000 is real, and on paper, it looks to be an impressive machine. Chupacabra Offroad goes over the key highlights and compares it to the other SxS offerings. Is it worth your $20,500?
It’s time to race this thing already! From the chassis builder taking forever, to this becoming a side project due to the sales growth of our product line, it’s taken way too long to get to the fun part: tuning the RZR and getting ready for our first race in October.
Chupacabra Offroad headed to the Sand Show last weekend in Costa Mesa, California. Simply put, there’s no other show like it in our industry, not even close. Over the last 5-7 years it’s really evolved into the SxS show, we counted maybe 10 sand cars, but hundreds of RZR’s, X3’s, Talons, Wildcats, and YXZ’s.
The Sand Show is this weekend in Costa Mesa, California. This is definitely the biggest “trade show” event in our industry, which means great deals. This is the weekend to buy, if you are looking for a new SxS, parts, and accessories.
Chupacabra Offroad headed back to the longest race in the United States, 505 miles this year to be exact. Unfortunately, our team ended up not seeing the finish line.
Thanks to winning a RZR at Tierra Del Sol, we won a RZR 2 seater Velocity, but sold it so we had budget to purchase a new Polaris Turbo S 4 Dynamix, 2 to be exact (our other Chupacabra Andrew Garvey also purchased a Turbo S 4 Dynamix).
I’ll admit, I started off with very few tools and essentials. Over the years, venturing out on longer trips, making friends and seeing what experienced guys had, motivated me to step my game up, and come up with a setup that’s good enough for Baja or AZ Peace Trail journeys.
Offroading is a tough sport, that isn’t suited to people who are afraid to get dirty. But let’s face it, even for the most hardcore off-road enthusiasts, being more comfortable makes for a more enjoyable day on the trail. Most RZR’s are missing many of the basics that can turn your SxS into a much better vehicle that you will love driving even more.
Starting off, we chose the RZR platform as we had more access to better deals on the parts. If I started again tomorrow, I’d seriously consider an X3 2 seat platform as well. I think these two cars have the best wheelbase options, and are the MOST ideal for a Turbo UTV race build.
Polaris announced its 2020 RZR lineup, and the big news was the all-new, Pro XP. With Can Am’s 2020 release, there are more models than ever, for offroader’s looking to buy a 2 seat SxS.
