WTF? Where is 8k ft in Havasu???
We saw exactly 7000ft on the trail which is not the top. Nav on gps is accurate
Zoom in on pic. You can see the trail in the valley to get a idea

Ironically there isn't many or any trails that really take you to the top of those.. But there are all kinds of destinations you can goto for various heights, weather, environments etc.. You can leave out of Havasu and head down to the Bill Williams and be surrounded by trees, and actually run through come crazy tree tunnels etc.. You can head north and run to the hualapies, etc..

As someone else said anywhere around town is crazy chatter though.. Once you get 6'ish miles past town though they pretty much fade away.. Unless you are heading to the cabin.. Once you get out of that fucking wash they go away but that wash is brutal.. (well unless you have a speed)

Good to hear you’ll be comfortable while a RZR tows you through the wash. 🤪

Can you screenshot the post? I can’t see it cuz I got blocked for typing RDSUX during one of their weekly deals a couple years back. 😬

So does this mean no aftermarket parts will be available, and you HAVE to buy everything from Speed???

Reminds me of the Vemco V-drive in the '70's... Crazy! I see areas that I think could be improved from his patent application. I love that they are pushing the design envelope!

Looks like it took a nasty fall off a cliff. I imagine the damage was caused by the tumble.

Without me reading through 158 pages, I noticed the speed sales center in havasu was closed down. What’s up with that?

He posted on another site that he was climbing a rock face and ended up going over backwards, 2 times, then 2 barrel rolls before getting saved by a tree. No other vehicles involved. They pulled it back up to the flat with the wrecker, changed out the broken wheel/tire and drove it home…

Weird. I drove past and the building looked vacated. Nothing in the lot. No signs.
I don't think they've ever had a sign..some days there is stuff out others there isn't. Heard they went with a Chinese bid on the sign construction to a HiSun sister company... so shouldn't be more than a couple more weeks... 🤣

Hollander Motorsports is finishing up a 14 gal aux tank to fit under the rear seat.

Thats a great set up, design and install is super clean... Robby has a patent on the filer tube though that he just infringed on with cutting it. Hahahaha. Kidding. Im flipping this to my buddy who has a car on order, he is def gonna want one of these.

Cliff notes...

Speed key is Still not available. Nothing to see here citizens. Move along...
aint that the truth. 14 months after first cars were delivered. 7 months after more deliveries around sand show.

FWIW. Polaris just upped their 2025 pro R EPA and Carb cert. Speed still doesnt have the 2024 cert. all the models being sold today are 2023 model years.

Wonder when the speed key will be available? Seems like it is taking forever.
Wont be released until they pass EPA and CARB for the new tune with the top end lube. I check EPA and CARB weekly for the approval. No updates. Most MFG have their 2025 EPA cert already.

I doubt it will ever be released to just everyone. You need to do a ton of certain things to make it work and doesn't sound like the drivetrain holds up with more power. So whats the point in having it anyways.
RG should of just let the aftermarket tuners have at it instead of trying to do a E85 tune from the factory that requires CARB/EPA certification. He could of also eliminated warranty issues that the Speed Key will certainly bring once available to those that purchased it.

I kind of agree, but at the same point if E85 is better for the environment and the people that care about that are the ones that make the rules then maybe it’s a good thing. I did not get the Speed key with my car I originally put a deposit on which was in the 3000 range but now that I have traded with a guy for slightly over the 1000 range it is now coming with one. I was hoping when the function is enabled, it will sense the E85 in your Normal out of the pump gas and give it another 10 or 15 hp as compared to running 85% e 85.

Anyways, comes or doesn’t come not a big deal to me. This car still checks all the boxes and if when the warranty runs out it’s not doing it I’ll find a Can-Am. A used one, but nevertheless.
