Pausing the latest trailer it definitely shows a triple by the exhaust pipes.
I may finally have a reason to sell...........................................................

I was on a RZR forum earlier today and one of the guys had stop framed the video of it running across the desert in the latest video and it had a very jeep style look to it in the video.
Obviously purely speculation but some think it could possibly have a truck style look to it, think more like a mini trophy truck or a buckshot bullet, even possibly a front mounted motor like a traditional automobile.
Who knows, i personally don't think that but just adding some hear say to the fire!

So if its a triple cylinder one would assume that its still in the sub 1000cc range right? Its not like it would be 3 cylinders in the 500cc range apiece. OR could it be?
Aren't there mandated limits with displacement on a state by state basis? I thought the cap was 1000cc. I haven't read this as an actual law anywhere but as commentary from others. Anyone with more knowledge on the 1000cc topic?
It has to be equal to or under 1000cc in the state of California to be considered a SXS, UTV, RUV what ever name they feel like calling it at the time. It is only 1 requirement out of a list of requirements.
They also say the manufactures have a gentleman's agreement to stay at or under 1000cc based off the California classification but, who knows if that is actually true

The OEMs do not need to abide by California's designation. There is always the potential to go beyond 1000cc and I believe it WILL happen one day...

ROHVA and California's AB 1595
IRVINE, Calif., July 31, 2012 – The Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) is the national industry organization representing the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle (ROV) industry. ROHVA is sponsored by the major manufacturers and distributors of ROVs: Arctic Cat, BRP, John Deere, Kawasaki, Polaris and Yamaha.
ROHVA’s mission is to promote the safe and responsible use of ROVs and to preserve and protect the ROV industry. Since its inception in 2007, ROHVA has pursued its mission by developing safety programs and guidelines including Model State Legislation. ROHVA also has developed voluntary vehicle design standards under the auspices of the American National Standards Institute.
ROHVA sponsored - and all of its member companies strongly support - AB 1595 in California. AB 1595 was developed by adapting ROHVA’s Model State Legislation, published since 2008, in the context of California’s existing off-highway vehicle (OHV) regulatory scheme. AB 1595 created ROVs as a separate class of OHV with an engine size not greater than 1,000 cc. The ROV provisions of AB 1595 expressly do not apply to vehicles known as sand buggies, dune buggies, ATVs or jeeps.
AB 1595 contains five provisions regulating the use of ROVs in California. Each of those requirements directly address hazards identified by CPSC in incidents resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. In order to ensure that ROVs continue to be available, and safely used, it is critical that industry and enthusiasts support legislation to ensure the vehicles are used as designed and recommended by the manufacturers.

It won't be over 1000cc unless they don't want it to be a utv. They passes this long ago and it's supported by Yamaha
So if a company like Arctic Cat wanted to reinvent the sand rail and take the market over they could easily put a turboed 1200cc motor in a modified wildcat. Then classify it as something other then a SxS and sell way more units then a turbo RZR. Obviously it needs to be a well built motor and trans(DCT) with a frame to support the fun factor of 200+ HP.
Yeah they can maintain the norm for now but like all rules, they are to be broken.
