Hi Fellas,
Long time quad rider looking to get into riding side by sides....Longtime yamaha owner so reliability is important.....For the longest time I figured I would end up in a rzr xp........I had read enough to know that while build quality on the commander is superior to the polaris, the ride on the commander was not what I was looking for....
Arctic released the wildcat and while the suspension travel looks awesome, my riding is trails, logging roads but no dunes..the poor turning radius on the wildcat and sketchy build quality put them further down on the list....I was anxiously awaiting the end of December release by polaris but the jagged x is a let down....same machine but with bng and a bigger price tag, bleh.....
So the maverick gets released and hmmmmmm, it seems like a pretty good unit...however, after riding with power steering on my quad, I refuse to buy anything without power steering...yes, I really like it that much! while the after market will come up with something, I am hoping BRP will release the next mav with power steering....The only other hiccup is the visco lok.....I can't see spending $20,000 (in Canada) and not getting at least the qe but preferably something better.....I am thinking that perhaps BRP will address some of the mav shortcomings when it releases the 4 seater, similar to arctic cats wildcat X.....
Any thoughts from the group when we can expect the power steering and QE to be addressed? I have heard of many issues with the xp so I am reluctant to go that route but I don't want to find myself in a situation where my new pricey side by side can't get me out of the jam because the wheels won't lock quickly enough....some of the youtube vids of the commander are embarassing to BRP....
So it seems like there is no perfect solution out there right now....if yahaha ever comes to the table, there may be an option but realistically for me, its either an xp or maverick (just as soon as BRP deals with some glaring omissions)....
Anyway, trying not to bash but just looking to spend wisely on a purchase...
Best regards to all...
