This year’s King of the Hammers (KOH) saw 75 side-by-sides, with most being Polaris RZRs, lining up for the toughest off-road race in the world. When the dust settled, RZRs would take the top five spots and seven of the top 10.
This year’s KOH was a family affair with newly signed Polaris Factory Racer Shannon Campbell taking “The Hammer,” and his son Wayland finishing second. Shannon’s daughter Bailey also raced going toe-to-toe with her father in the beginning of the race. She ended up finishing 15th. All three raced RZR XP Turbo EPS vehicles. Shannon dominated the race and finished almost 15 minutes ahead of Wayland.
“My RZR is one of the most incredible vehicles I’ve ever driven,” said Shannon Campbell. “It is much more-nimble on the KOH course than my Ultra 4 truck.”
I see that alot of people have shimmed their rides and put the purple secondary spring in.
My question is, How has this effected you fuel consumption? My wife has a 2011 700 EPS with 26" zillas, and I’m running a 2014 700 EPS with the same tires and rims. I drive quite a bit harder than she does and I usually have atleast 1/4 tank of fuel left when she needs to ad fuel. My grizzly is easier on fuel than anyone other bike that I go biking with, except for one buddy who also drives a 2014 700 EPS.
I’m thinking of putting a 1 mm shim and the purple secondary shim on my bike ( just for a little more bottom end power), but I don’t want to burn alot more fuel because I frequently run over 100 miles when I go out and there’s not always the option of buying more fuel on the trail. Yes I do carry a 10 liter (2.5 gallon) fuel jug with me when I go.
I’m just curious whether this burns more fuel or not, because I used to have a Suzuki 700 Twin Peaks with 27" mud lites and when I put a Dalton Clutch kit in that (for over-sized tires) it made it about 30% harder on fuel.

Hey guys, I’m trying to find some info on the stock rear wheel on a 85 fourtrax 250. I bought one and it has rancher rear wheels on it. I want to know what the stock wheel offset is and is ITP mudlite 25×12-9 tire will have any clearance issues?? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

With the UTV industry firmly entrenched in a horsepower war where bigger is almost always considered better, the diminutive Honda Pioneer 500 is something of a breath of fresh air.
Fast Facts
Engine: 475cc Single
Ground Clearance: 8.5 in.
Wheelbase: 73 in.
Curb Weight: 1,025 lbs
MSRP: $8,999
While a bigger, more powerful working UTV can be an enormous help on a jobsite or hunt camp, we shouldn’t overlook the advantages of the Pioneer 500. The biggest advantage is price. At $8,999, the Pioneer 500 is $1,500 less than the base Pioneer 700 and more than $5,000 less than the base Pioneer 1000. In terms of UTVs, it’s a relative bargain.
