I am thinking about getting a four seater but i can't make up my mind which one to buy.

Any recommendations? or are they both good rides and it's all preference.

Oh no!!! Here...we...go...

LOL, both are good machines. Go look at them in person and see what suits you best. Both will have pro's and cons based on what you do or how you drive.

Hahahaha. I've gone to Chaparral and checked out both machines. I am pretty tall and i feel like the Can'am has better leg room. That's the only reason why i am leaning towards the Can'am.

But first have to find a riding group because i cannot convince my friends to buy a SXS. SMH!

Best bet is to find were they are doing the next demo rides and try them out. Fit and finish is better on the can am and a bit better leg room. Polaris has more after market parts better suspension design but the shocks are cheap. Both have there pros and cons.

Thank you for the info. I am going to look for the next demo ride. I think i will have to wait until Halloween because i think Polaris has a demo ride in Glamis.

Depends on where you plan on doing most of your riding ... Glamis is my main ridding spot so I like the lower center of gravity of the razor . but the can am is maybe better in the hard pack riding arena
Good luck check out the local rides section there's someone always ridding and most don't mined
Giving a newbie a ride as long as they have empty seat

Hey dude, when ever you go riding let me know if i can tag a long. I have a quad that is dying to go out and stretch it's wheels. Before i pull the trigger im trying to meet people in the sport. On April 4th i convinced my family to go riding in Azusa canyon, ever been there?

Yeah, most of the time i will be riding on hard compact dirt. Thanks for the info.

What size?
1000?
If one is getting started are 800/900 options for the racing world?
Do they break racing into classes, size motors...?
thanks,
Dennis

Fit and finish, Legroom/comfort, power= Can am mav max turbo
suspension travel, aftermarket support, feeling like you fit in (camp rzr)= Polaris rzr

And btw, just because a brand dominates a particular market it does not necessarily mean that it's a superior product. Ahhh the beauty of marketing. Do your own research, ride both vehicles and make your decision.

Well if you like to spend 20+ thousand smacks on a toy to basically go out and spend thousands more on aftermarket stuff to make it a decent solid car get the Polaris. The Can Am cars are solid and comfortable from the start and you don't need to go buy a bunch of crap to fix it up. Plus the Can Am Max just won the Toughest Race in America the MINT 400. There ya go.

Actually domination does usually mean superior product in my experience. I checked and it's about 10:1 and Polaris hold their value better.

Thank you for that informative video. I've always like the Can'am because i thought it was built better and better leg room but i that the RZR was a better machine because everyone and their momma has it hahaha.

Do you know anything about a Laughlin Nevada run? this weekend i was out in Laughlin and this big group rolled up to the hotel i was staying(Aquarius) with maybe 17 SXS. i think that would be fun.

Here's a hardly used Can Am driven by a soccer mom. It's for sale a smoking deal. It's ready to race tomorrow. Would cost you more than twice as much to build one like this. Plus it's proven but not so much it's been hammered. Hard combination to find.
