FAQs

Which UTV has the least problems? ›

Let's Talk Numbers

Now that we've touched on a few provisos and went through the nuances, it's time to get down to brass tacks: What is considered high mileage for a Polaris RZR? In general, 10,000 is the line in the sand for a high-mileage vehicle if one had to be drawn.

The top speed (confirmed at around 90 miles per hour) of the fastest side-by-side in 2023 belongs to the Polaris RZR Pro R, with a four-cylinder engine, 1997cc, and 225 horsepower that allows you to quickly reach that speed. Its Pro XP counterpart is about the same.

A side-by-side vehicle (SxS or SSV), is an off-road vehicle with a minimum of two seats positioned side by side and enclosed within a roll cage structure. They have a minimum of four wheels (or continuous tracks) and are operated by foot controls and a steering wheel.

Since you asked, My rule of thumb is to stay away from Polaris. I know some love and swear by them but overall polaris has way more issues than any other MFGR. Honda and yamaha have had great track records for me.

Fortunately, the likelihood of UTV rollovers is low – but they can still happen. There are various reasons that could cause your ATV/UTV to flip over, like accelerating too quickly for example. When riding uphill, don't do it too quickly because it may cause your ATV or UTV to roll over backwards.

Polaris has determined that some Model Year 2023 RZR Pro R (2-seat) vehicles may experience a fuel leak at the fuel tank mold seam. A fuel leak at the mold seam could flow in close proximity to a hot surface, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury.

That Said, Is It Worth the Investment? If you love spending your free time taking on the toughest trails, from mountain passes to desert dunes and everything in between, then the answer is a resounding yes. RZRs are purpose-built to conquer any obstacles you put in front of them.

XP stands for Xtreme Performance and that's what you get with the Dual Overhead Cam ProStar® 1000 engine. Class-leading power and torque makes RANGER your most trusted work partner. THE PROSTAR 1000 DOHC ENGINE.

What is the best side-by-side for a family? ›

Can-Am came in as the third most reliable ATV brand. These machines are also considered top-tier performance. Polaris ATV models came in fourth place for reliability. So, although these brands are sometimes docked for unreliability, they are each respected in the ATV community as well.

Can-Am vs Yamaha ATV Reliability. We won't tell you that Can-Am ATVs are unreliable, in fact, the brand produces a great product. Though Can-Am makes great ATVs', we prefer Yamaha for many reasons. Yamaha ATVs' are undeniably reliable and we hear this time and time again from our customers.
