News

Kawasaki announced many of its 2023 models in mid May with most models returning with no real changes other than colors for the 2023 model year in the Brute Force, Teryx, and Mule lineups. There was a "new" model announced with the addition of the 2023 Teryx4 S Special Edition. More models are to be announced June 7th, and it looks like some more side-by-sides are on that list. Below is a breakdown of the 2023 Models that have been revealed so far.

Teryx Family

There is really only one "new model" to the Teryx4 models and that model is the Teryx4 S LE. Though the stats are the same for previous and current year's Teryx S models, the package includes a perimum high-grade audio system with 4 speakers, a 160 watt internal amp with a compact AM/FM/Bluetoooth/USB stero unit, a WARN 3500LB winch, tri-tone seats, and special colors and graphics. The rest of the models are the same as previous years with no real changes other than color and graphics. It is interesting to note that so far in these releases Kawasaki has dropped a mid and top trim models in the original suspension width non-S models and moved to mid to top trim models in the S models only. The only available model with 60-inch original width is in the base models.

Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000

There are no changes to the KRX 1000 models to speak of so far for 2023. It looks like that will change on June 6th when Kawasaki announces what looks to be a Teryx KRX 1000 4-Seat model, so we will see. There are of course color and graphic changes for 2023. Same 999cc parallel-twin engine, 14.8 inches of ground clearance, dual-a-arm front suspension and 4-link trailing-arm rear suspension, and overall heavy duty build. This is one of our favorite pure sport side-by-sides.

King Of The Hammers is truly an epic race. It is epic for the racers, it is epic for the teams, and it is epic for the fans. Boulders the size of a Volkswagen, vertical shelf drops longer than a side-by-side, open desert sections, and inclines and declines steep enough to see only ground or sky are all in store for those daring enough to race in the King Of The Hammers race. It is widely considered the most brutal race one-day race in the World. King Of The Hammers takes place every year in Johnson Valley, CA with tens of thousands of people inundating the desert pop-up town of “Hammertown” for the race. I have been to the King Of Hammers race and it was truly a lifetime experience on every way. Of all the things I witnessed that blew my mind, the race itself was life-changing. I did not know or even contemplate that side-by-sides could traverse and conquer the terrain that is the norm in King Of The Hammers race. It is a site to behold.

We like web series, we like Can-Am side-by-sides, and we like racing. So it is a natural progression that the web series from Can-Am 72 Hours would tickle our fancy. It is the story of Cody and Hunter Miller, members of the Can-Am racing family, taking on the King Of The Hammers race to see if the team can be on top of the podium when all the dust settles. We see inside their world to witness what their process is in the run-up to a race, who’s in their inner circle, what sacrifices they make and peel back the layers of why they do what they do. Going deeper than just behind the wheel, this warts n’ all, behind the scenes documentary exposes the stresses, teamwork dynamics, family commitments & the sheer obsession to detail it takes to be a champion in those crucial hours before their biggest career challenges. 

If you have ever wondered what it is like to do any kind of off-road racing including all that it entails, then no doubt you will enjoy the three-part series from Can-Am, 72 Hours.

Polaris recently unveiled the 2022 RZR Pro XP & RZR Pro XP 4 Ultimate Rockford Fosgate Limited Editions. If you take a loaded RZR Pro XP Ultimate, stuff it with an 800 watt stage 4 Rockford Fosgate audio system, give it some cool looking speakers, and throw in a custom new paint scheme, then you get this new Limited Edition RZR Pro XP. If great sound is something you want to add to your off-road experience, then this is your RZR Pro XP model.

When you hear the word "ultimate" it evokes a feeling of best-of-the-best or top-of-the-line. With things like a full-cab and AC and heating this Polaris Ranger NorthStar model is an ultimate Ranger or ultimate by any side-by-side standard. AJ with Dirt Trax TV walks us through this top-of-the-line Polaris Ranger. For more information on the Polaris Ranger NorthStar Ultimate model, check out the Polaris Ranger Website

Can-Am gave us both a nice and needed surprise by announcing its 2021 lineup this week. After reading through the press release, sitting in on a video conference call, and getting some time to sleep on changes to the Can-Am lineup, one thing is clear. The 2021 “new” to the Can-Am lineup revolves around a new technology: Smart-Shox.

Well we are huge fans of the color orange, and we are also fans of the both the Polaris RZR Pro XP & Polaris RZR Pro XP 4. Now these two items have come together to make a new Limited Edition model. Meet the RZR Pro XP and RZR Pro XP 4 Orange Madness Limited Eiditon.
