Anyone lined up the 2016 1000R against the 2015 1000??

I am in the market for a new machine…..or used really.

I am torn between a G1 which I am very familiar with, and a G2.

The G1 is so easy to take apart, accessing things are easy, I have owned several and know them inside and out, and they are cheaper at this point!

The G2 appears to ride smoother, has bigger engines available, has XMR snorkel kits available for both the outlander and renegade, but is harder to access things, heavier, more expensive (due to being newer).

Then there is the G2 1000R option, and is there enough noticeable difference in the 7 extra HP?

My buddy had a nice used 2013 1000 Outlander 1000 and a 2010 Renegade 800. The renegade would walk away from the outlander every time, and never catch up. So I wonder if I should stick with an 800 Rene……but then I wonder how a 1000 Rene would have faired in that same race?

No I dont go out and do top speed runs all day, but I will likely run 28" tires and be in the water and want max power.

That said, my brother has a nice 07 Renegade 800 I can buy for like $3600…..Ive found nice 09-10 renegades for 5kish, and have 2 renegade 1000’s located for $6200ish. A new renegade 1000R will run me probably $11K at least just guessing for a base model.

I was just hoping there would be more reviews by now comparing the old to the new, as well as the Polaris 88hp offerings vs Can Am!

Halo lights on taillights

I just installed a set of Tricled halo lights on the front of my Outlander Max 1000 and love them. I do a lot of trail riding at night with my friends and was wondering if anyone on here has put halo’s on their taillights. I think it would be really good when you have others following you at night.

Which skids?

I always used to buy ricochet but I have some people nagging me to get the plastic style skids due to the whole weight is HP thing.

Are they that much better?
And aren’t they thick so you lose clearance?

Please help me protect my new gade!
Thanks guys

TJD Tracks???

I’m looking at a used set of these tracks. I have not heard of them before. Anybody have info or an opinion on them? I would only be using them in snow. Thanks in advance.

New SxS: Mav XDS or RZR XP1K

Now that my little one wants to always go with me, I feel like I need to upgrade to a SxS. I love quads but its hard to hold a 4yr old and ride hard. I’ve looked at the XPs and liked the look and feel in the showroom but I keep reading all the reviews with a high list of mustneed upgrades. What’s everybody’s take on the XDS? Is it good out of the box? Do I NEED to upgrade the cage? Control arm strength? My buddy has a 14 XRS and my legs won’t fit so I know I’ll have to remount the seat(which makes me sick thinking about a $20k machine that I have to mod).
