So my wife and I rented a 900 trail 2015 while we were in Colorado 2 weeks ago. That is the first 900 I have rode and the first time I have gotten to play with a rzr in the mountains. I have been thinking I wanted to buy a 570 trail rated and have done a lot of looking. I test rode a demo at a dealership a month ago too.

I asked the rental if they had a 570 and they told me they didn’t rent 570’s and as a dealer didn’t even stock them because they didn’t make enough power for riding in the Colorado mountains. The 900 performed well, but I am still curious if anybody has ever ridden their 570 at elevations of 11,000+ feet and how it performed. I don’t need to do 50 mph on 4×4 roads. Was he full of it or do you really need an 800 or 900 to ride in those mountains.

Thanks for any help.
