HONDA PIONEER 520
The 2022 Honda Pioneer 520 is based on the Pioneer 500 recreation/utility machine and includes more power and a tilting bed that can hold 450 pounds of cargo. A 518cc engine, 43cc larger than the 500’s, provides the power. Full of fuel, the Pioneer 520 weighs only 1065 pounds, so it has an outstandingly light, agile feel. The Pioneer 520 has a belt-less, five-speed automatic transmission that can also be shifted manually with car-type paddle shifters. The transmission also provides predictable engine braking to all four wheels when in four-wheel drive. The drive system features selectable 2WD/4WD, but no front differential lock.
This recreation utility UTV can tow 1000 pounds from its receiver-type hitch. Independent front and rear suspension with dual-rate springs and adjustable spring preload provides a comfortable, well-controlled ride. For convenience, the Pioneer 520’s side nets swing with the door.

The Honda Pioneer 500 recreation/utility machine’s small size and easy handling are perfect for work or play in confined areas.

The Pioneer 500 is powered by a 475cc, two-valve, push-rod engine with a belt-less, five-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually with car-type paddle shifters. The transmission also provides predictable engine braking to all four wheels when in four wheel drive. The drive system is selectable 2WD/4WD, but no front differential lock.

POLARIS RZR TRAIL ULTIMATE
Numerous upgrades distinguish the 2022 Polaris RZR Trail Ultimate and the other 900cc Polaris Trail models from the previous Polaris Trail design, which is still used on the RZR Trail 570. Full doors, a high-clearance radiused cage for easy entry and exit, aggressive new RZR XP-inspired front-end styling and an improved interior make the newest trail models better than ever.
The Ultimate is the best-equipped RZR Trail model. It comes with Ride Command navigation, ride sharing and connectivity, Rockford Fosgate audio, roof, Fox Podium shocks, a rear differential with turf mode for tighter turns, painted bodywork, power steering, aluminum wheels, and LED headlights and accent lights.
Instant throttle response, 75 horsepower and agile handling make the 50-inch-wide RZR 900 Trail models a blast to drive. Front and rear sway bars, light weight and good weight distribution give the 900 a flat, sure feel in slow and fast turns, and it can slide controllably on low-traction surfaces. The RZR’s suspension is fairly firm, which is to be expected on a vehicle with 10 inches of travel, but it’s surprisingly compliant and comfortable on small impacts. The slightly firm settings let you push the RZR on bumpy trails, and it will handle G-outs and even some decent-sized jumps without bottoming.

HISUN STRIKE 550
At 53.5 inches wide, the Hisun Strike 550 may not be able to access all ATV trails, but it’s a well-equipped machine for trails that are too narrow for most UTVs. Standard equipment includes a roof, windshield, mirrors, 26-inch tires on 14-inch cast-aluminum wheels, 3500-pound winch, turn signals and horn. This small sport machine’s cargo bed can carry 350 pounds, more than some larger sport machines. The instrument display includes speedometer, tachometer, drive position and more. Hisun UTVs are covered by a two-year limited warranty.

POLARIS RZR TRAIL SPORT
The base 900cc trail model, the Polaris RZR Trail Sport gets the same upgrades as other new 900 Trails, full doors, a high-clearance radiused cage for easy entry and exit, aggressive new RZR XP-inspired front-end styling and an improved interior.
Quick throttle response, 75 horsepower and agile handling make the twin-cylinder, 875cc Trail Sport a blast to drive. Front and rear sway bars, light weight and good weight distribution give the 900 a flat, sure feel in slow and fast turns, and it can slide controllably on low-traction surfaces. The RZR’s suspension is fairly firm, which is to be expected on a vehicle with 10 inches of travel, but it’s surprisingly compliant and comfortable on small impacts. The slightly firm settings let you push the RZR on bumpy trails, and it will handle G-outs and even some decent-size jumps without bottoming.
RZR XP 1000-inspired ergonomics provide impressive cabin comfort. The base model has steel wheels, unpainted bodywork and no power steering.

POLARIS RZR TRAIL 570
The RZR 570 styling, cage and interior are carried over from the 2020 RZR Trail models, but it delivers exciting sport UTV performance for only $10,599. The 570 weighs just 996 pounds dry, so its 45 horsepower feels much stronger on the trail than they sound on a spec sheet. Polaris did a great job tuning the engine and the CVT clutching, so you get the feeling of a healthy engine that’s always pulling well in the right gear. The 570 scoots to 35 mph in low and gets to its top speed of 55 surprisingly quickly, even with two people aboard.
The 570 has double-A-arm suspension front and rear with preload-adjustable, low-pressure gas ZF Sachs shocks. There are 9 inches of travel up front and 9.5 in the rear, and front and rear sway bars keep the trail-width machine cornering flat. The seats are comfortable, and the cabin has enough room for two grown men, though it’s not nearly as roomy and luxurious as the latest XP 1000-based interiors on larger RZR models. The bed is bigger than the 1000s! The 570 also has a 1.25-inch hitch receiver, which adds a lot of useful utility value to this UTV. The 570 has steel wheels and unpainted bodywork.
