4 seat speed UTV

[LargeOrangeFont]

It’s taking time but they are putting in work on these things.

 

[Blackmagic94]

Your boat won’t run that number is the sand either, what is your point?

We are taking about a multi day rally over multiple terrain types here. Nothing in that rally is running 90 in the sand.

I never mentioned anything about a rally. Just stated no side by side is running that fast in sand due to load

Is the black 2 seater the Dakar bound version ?

Congrats Robbie, you're getting close.

I’d bet this one will.

Once again, pay attention. We were not talking about a sand drag race. We were talking about the Dakar Rally.

That said there are SXSs that will do 90 in the sand. Many of them. Easily. With parts ordered online.

Yes a twin turbo sand car is faster. If you want a sand car, buy a sand car.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I’d bet this one will.

Like I said before, the Speed UTV haters are just haters of any and all UTVs

 

[riverroyal]

cool video. The last minute showed them in a way that they will be driven. 1st few minutes doesnt really show much, all UTVs look like that going 20mph.

 

[Santee_Native]

Yes

 

[DLC]

That area they are riding in is a fun spot it’s around the corner from my house.

It’s In between sailing hawks and the pot growers on London Bridge road

Last Saturday I was driving on that exact spot they filmed the last minute on. It is a rough, narrow, stretch at the moment.

Pot growers ? On the Refuge, or Havasu VIP storage or ??

Anyway, in 13 years of owning a SxS in Havasu, never used it on a single local trail, always trailered up to our ranch property. Thought about checking this area out some time mid-week, I'm guessing you can access it right of LB Rd. ?
Don't really want to ride into some Desert Hills cartel pot farm by accident.

There are no cartel pot farms out there you will drive into LOL. Yea there are multiple spots to get into that section on LB Rd. Most of the entrances are wide and smooth enough you can just continue at 40 MPH right onto the dirt. You can take that section of dirt east up towards the 95 and it funnels you up to the bridge on the 95 that you can go under and access the trails between Palo Verde North and Tractor Supply. Again this a good area to play around in, and you are close to civilization if something happens.

The pot growers are in the white building with all the chain link & barb wire, it’s like the 1st building on the east side heading north after passing sailing hawks and the sand wash.

Disclaimer-
I don’t know for sure if they grow but when you drive past it sure smells like it. Security is high and it has no advertisements on the building, so wife and I call it the pot grower building

I've seen that place and wondered what's going on. 15-20 years ago, we used to go there for some awesome Mexican food, but I can't recall the name of it. I thought maybe with all the security fencing it was either a "Black Site" or the Desert Hills Brothel or Opium Den

You just may be 100% correct. It is the old Mexican Restaurant building. But they've added all those airconditioned containers and obviously the security fencing. It's listed as Parker South Farming, Agricultural Engineers. Registered AZ corporation license # L19257603. Their Principle / agent of record is a Scottsdale attorney, Sean M Carroll, that's a registered agent for a whole lot of companies, many agricultural.

 

[Lavey5150]

For the record- UTV'z are not sand cars....

 

[Boatymcboatface]

My friends Dejong monster Manx has a transmission that cost more than my new RZR! Season prep is more than all the upgrades I’d ad to it. Do I love driving/riding in is 125k plus LS powered car he’ll yeah!!! Do I won’t the cost and repair bills? He’ll no!!

 

[Lavey5150]

Hooray! Another one to step up to be beaten into submission with his own ignorance.

Only thing not being submitted is a SpeedCar to the general public............Argue on.............

 

[RVRKID]

Who wants to jump to #35, seems like a great deal

 

[702sandman]

I was hitting 90 on gps in last weeks worlds race in Havasu in the sand washes no problem. At silver state my car topped out at 103 on gps but can’t hold long there due to belt temps. these “golf carts“ beat the fastest 10 car in silver state and the baja 400. The Days of doing 35 mph in our rhinos is long over lol. And honestly I find my self more in my RZR than my buckshot that has a whipped redline motor at The dunes. these things are a blast in every environment

Geezus a flat landing? Ouch.
It did land great compared to others. Or it was edited that way.

Was probably done on a green screen. The cars don’t really exist.

Had i known this was happening this weekend i would have gone. Looks fun.

That video explains what you hear when people say 'oh those break, they have issues with suspension'
Well...no shit

 

[Boatymcboatface]

No doubt the race car exist even states in the video it’s the race car jumping. It was the only race utv shown jumping. Why didn’t they jump the cars marked pre production? Maybe because it would have taken to much editing to get it to look better than all the other non race utvs in the video? Either way saying the car exist still isn’t true they’re all pre production or race built cars at this point.

I do like these cars don’t get me wrong and would love to own one when they actually exist. But for now the truth is they don’t exist because I don’t see any posts of the owner of car #1 showing off is ride. When he does then yes they will truly exist. Until then?

Polaris RZR Pro R specs rumor

We present to you what we believe will be dropping later this year.

These are the important changes we can more/less confirm from the 2022 models:

• Now referred to Pro R, no longer using XP naming
• New 4-cylinder Polaris ProStar naturally aspirated motor (we've mistakenly called it NorthStar, unverified displacement, probably >1000cc & >200hp)
• New automatic 5-speed sequential transmission seen on the 2020 Polaris Slingshot; No CVT!
• New transfer case with split driveshafts featuring 3 u-joints each!
• New independent front/rear differentials, possibly shift on the fly (as in >5mph)
• At LEAST 72" wide, but have been told to expect 76 or 78"
• New beefier front a-arms with new U-shaped uppers to allow for shock mounts on the lower arms!
• Rear shocks appear to be 3.0" shock bodies, possibly with slow/fast adjustment and rebound; much like the new Can-Am Smart-Shox; 2.5" assumed for the front.
• New, much larger, trailing arms with exposed stiffening rail.
• Dual 2-to-1 collectors on the headers, dual to single pipe at the muffler; exits rear-center like Can-Am/Yamaha.
• New 15" 5-lug wheels that we've seen from spy photos!
• Appears to have Maxxis Liberty tires, likely 32x10r15!
• No longer 40/60 balanced... we'll have to see what it comes out to after review units are delivered!
• Updated ROPS cage with similar geometry.
• Updated Ride Command with new cluster options.
• 2 and 4-seat versions already ready, but expect the 4-seat to be announced in the fall; as is Polaris' typical cadence.

What hasn't shown any signs of changing:

• Overall body design/plastics
• Interior
• Bed/Storage

Hoonigan Terrorizes City With New 2022 Polaris RZR XP Pro R Side-by-Side​

Big jumps, smoky drifting, and wild stunts in the city streets.​

Oct 22, 2021
Hot on the heels of the company's cryptic social media teaser, the new 2022 Polaris RZR XP Pro R was just spotted in the leading role of Hoonigan's latest insane YouTube video drop. With professional racer and stunt driver RJ Anderson behind the wheel, the crew took the specially modified Polaris RZR XP Pro R to Hoonigan's back yard, tormenting the streets of downtown Long Beach, California.

Getting' Jiggy With The Hoonigans​

While we still must wait a few weeks (November 9, to be specific) to learn all about this impressive new UTV model from Polaris, handing one over to Hoonigan is a great way to spread the word. In less than 24 hours on YouTube, the jumping, sliding, drifting, and general mayhem have earned more than 300,000 views. And, while a new Polaris side-by-side and RJ Anderson would be enough to bring the views, cameos are made by a few other famous friends including Tanner Foust, Darren Parsons, Blake Wilkey, Vinny Anatra, and Hertrech Eugene Jr.

Walker Evans Shocks And BFG Tires, Oh My!​

By digging into the video, and with the help of a few of our friends on social media, we've been able to confirm a few more details about the upcoming 2022 Polaris RZR XP Pro R model. First, and most obvious, we can see that this particular unit sport shocks from Walker Evans Racing, which are outfitted with Polaris' Dynamix electronic control. Tires are larger than the 2021 Pro model, and the tread pattern of the BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR2 tires match that seen in the teaser. While it's not practical that every Pro R model will get these race tires, it's exciting to see that BFGoodrich might be involved.

New 4-Cylinder 2.0L Engine?​

It would also appear that this RZR XP Pro R is fitted with the rumored 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine. Rumors have it that it will displace about two liters, however, to be classified as a Recreational Off-Road Vehicle (ROV) in the United States engine size needs to be under one liter. If this is true it'll be interesting to see how Polaris handles that regulation. Also interesting is the sound of the constant engine RPM, which indicates that a CVT is still employed and not the rumored 5-speed sequential-shift transmission.

Interior Is… The Same​

The interior of the car appears to be the same as the 2021 RZR XP Pro that we've been testing. This particular RZR XP Pro R is fitted with cam-lock harnesses and Sparco seats, which we've got to figure are part of the Hoonigan prep and will not be included in the production side-by-side. It also has a "hoon-handle," better known as a turning brake, which will also not be a feature of the production car (boo!) The RZR XP Pro R does appear to have the Rockford Fosgate audio system, so that's a plus in our book.

Bring On The Jumps!​

The one thing we know for sure is this: Polaris and Hoonigan know how to build excitement. If you haven't seen the Jump Cuts: Sending It In The Streets Of Long Beach video yet check it out below. We can't wait for the official unveiling.

[4Waters]

I saw Robby at the Habit at the same time. I pulled over, had a few minutes to chat and check out the Speed Car. He even turned the car off and introduced his girlfriend. Seems like a good guy, easy to talk to.

Did he say anything about this thread? Asking for everyone here

 

[Blackmagic94]

So what happens if Polaris offers a bigger then 1000cc engine setup?

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

So what happens if Polaris offers a bigger then 1000cc engine setup?

The world ends.

This isn’t an IF, the car does have an engine larger than 1000 cc. In fact I’m betting it is 2000cc. They aren’t gonna get 200+ HP out of 1.3L NA 4 cylinder with 9000 RPM.

It does not seem to have the rumored 5 speed gearbox though. It still looks like it has a belt.

And in theory you don’t have to wear a helmet in it per (current) CA law.

There is a legal grow operation, white brick building with a shit ton of ac units on the roof and rzr wire around it.

Explain the 1000cc rule to a mouth breather like myself in more detail please.

 

[ArizonaKevin]

Explain the 1000cc rule to a mouth breather like myself in more detail please.

Effectively it is no longer governed by the below laws because it is no longer classified as an ROV. I would guess that CA is probably working on changing that right now. In the meantime, they will probably be registered just like a sandrail.

FAQs for ROVs

California State Parks

ohv.parks.ca.gov

In AZ, there are no engine size requirements for registration, just more affordable to get the OHV decal if your car is less than 1800lb.

I am interested to see how insurance companies will handle the change, especially for CA units registered like a sandrail.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I believe AZ raised the weight to 2200 lbs as well.

 

[ArizonaKevin]

I believe AZ raised the weight to 2200 lbs as well.

If they did it hasn't hit the DOT website. Would be nice if they did as I am relying on the DMV people to not know that my car weighs 1816lb

 

[mash on it]

I believe AZ raised the weight to 2200 lbs as well.

I believe it's 2500 lbs.

Dan'l

 

[ArizonaKevin]

I believe it's 2500 lbs.

You can register up to 2500lb, but you are subject to pay the full vehicle license tax instead of the $3/year flat rate.

Polaris has been testing both the belt driven Pro R and a Pro R with a gearbox in Havasu. Rumor is that the gearbox model will be an option in the next year or two.

They’re sneaky about the machine with a gearbox. Not switching gears when near others out riding but when you’re way off in the boonies it’s definitely got a gearbox.

I keep hearing Can Am has a new gearbox in the works as well.

To me that might mean it still has a belt, with a gear box. If it was gearbox only, it would be a dog if you never shifted around people. With the power these cars are making these days these things need an overdrive/higher top gear. I don't see many people out there wanting to bang gears all day long either.

I don’t know anything about the CanAm but it wouldn’t surprise me. As the displacement and capabilities get broader they’ll be searching for more efficient and dependable ways to get the power to the wheels.
