Go and google "rzr or maverick", you will find hours and hours of reading. Pros and Cons of both!! Aside of the brand war you will find a lot of info on the reliability side of it. This is one reason I went with the mav. Yes others do make nice well performing sxs's. But my pick was between rzr and a mav. One thing I have read is the mav will last long on wearable parts like ball joints, bearings, bushings, etc. I've read over and over 600-1k miles on rzr, things will be loose! ether people replace or keep running till they cant take it anymore! One thread that caught my eye was a guy had both a mav and a 900xp. Said you can bet every 600mi on the xp, put on the lift and bushing bearings are starting to get loose!! He had somewhere around 2k mile on the mav, put it on the lift, it was as tight as the day he bought it!! But bottom line is I don't care what it is, how it was built, wearable parts like bushings and ball joints WILL WEAR OUT!! But, Some brands will last a lot longer than others. I'm not brand bashing, I'm saying there are hours and hours of reading out there, I used it to my advantage to make my choice. My main thing going into buying one was, I'm spending this kinda money to buy one, I don't want to spend all my time working on it!
