pulled the trigger on this new SxS last week......had an '09 Rhino 700.......

just had itch for newer machine.....biggest things I've noticed so far..after 65 miles.....

power steering....better suspension....more power from the 800 twin cylinder...

lots more space....61" wide.....our Forest trails are widening to 66"....BLM trails are that wide..

had to have the vented DOT glass windshield....rear plastic window...bed cargo box.....

adding 4500# Superwinch...along with swapping out the OEM tires/wheels....going to DOT

rated hard pack AT tires.....28-10x14 on all 4 corners......non directional....can rotate that way...

the 3 year factory warranty & the $2K promo off sticker also helped me decide....

yes we had 4" of wet sloppy snow this morning.......

I’m a huge fan of Kawi SxS (have a 2010 tyrex and a 2017 FTX pro. They’ve been dead reliable. My only issue is during hunting season, I have to go through puddles and then the moisture freezes locking up the Tyrex disc brakes. Only thing I’ve found to address the problem is to ride the brakes bit before putting away hoping the heat evaporates some of the moisture..

Try hitting the brakes with a leaf blower - they make battery powered ones too.........

Beauty, just great beauty. Wonderful photos. I'd forgotten about some of the back country of Utah. It's been 35 years since I've lived there. I visit 3-4 times a year. But it's straight up I-15 to the parents home, and hurry back to AZ. One of these times, I need to take a detour. Hanksville, Fruita, Fremont... All of the old places that I played as a teen.

Very nice SxS you have there, tikkanut. Wonderful scenery and pictures also, I bet that's a blast exploring those areas.

As far as your SxS and the transmission how well does it hold back going down big hills?

the new SxS just turned 465 miles yesterday...it is just plain & simple a sure footed beast.......

had it in an area two weeks ago.....an old old dugway dropping in a very big 10 sq mile bowl....

very steep & loose rocks...even steeper on the way out.......low range 4x4 performed flawlessly...

pic one is yesterday....I go out more on weekdays meaning less people & activity..better chance of

seeing critters...I crossed fresh Bighorn tracks three different spots...hiked this canyon (pic 1)

but Sheep were gone...or very well hid...also found very fresh Bobcat tracks....this high desert is amazing

average elevation is 7000'....pic 2 is big bowl area mentioned.......Henry's on skyline
