— KAWASAKI vs. YAMAHA SHOOTOUT — When Kawasaki introduced the Teryx4 800 FI for 2012, its only sport-UTV competition was the 60-inch RZR 4 800, and quickly following, the aftermarket produced long-travel kits for racing the T4. Our favorite Moab mount has long been the HCR Teryx4, but the four-seat Turbo and other extreme-performance UTVs give consumers […]

— Testing the fastest & strongest 4-seater UTV from Polaris — At a glance, the RZR Turbo S four-seat looks like the other four-seat RZRs in the lineup; however, park the new model next to a current XP 4 and you will see a huge difference. It’s taller, wider and will handle wide-open trails way […]
— Testing a mini UTV for young off-roaders — Manufacturers don’t need to make youth UTVs more exciting to get kids interested; they’re crazy about them already. SSR did it anyway. Cool stying, aluminum wheels, LED lights, big bumpers and useful features like a spare tire, mirrors and instrumentation make the SSR SRU170RS stand out. […]
— Walker Evans Racing build — Polaris is enjoying great success with its first extreme-performance single-seat UTV.

— Trail testing an affordable 4-seater UTV — In a world where many four-seat UTVs cost $20,000 to $30,000, Kawasaki’s Teryx4 800FI delivers a lot of performance, good looks and family fun at a hard-to-beat price. While the basic design hasn’t changed in years, the Teryx4 does many things very well in stock form, and […]
— Testing the most cost effective Polaris 4-seater — Polaris has many irons in the fire, and one of them is the Polaris Adventure subsidiary we’ve reported on previously. Contributors Jack and Shane Trittler have invested in Mojave Adventures (760-495-2474) with a small fleet of 2019 Polaris RZR XP 4 1000 EPS units in Black Pearl, […]
— Walker Evans Racing build — When Honda first introduced the Pioneer 1000, several racers expressed interest in turning that innovative UTV powerplant into a racing machine. We knew Honda was working on its own sport UTV, as we’ve reported on the all-new Talon over the last few months, but Reid Nordin of Walker Evans […]
— Testing top gun UTV driving shoes — WHAT IT IS: Sidi may be a new name to some UTVers, but the Italian company is one of the world leaders in boots for motorsports, like motocross, motorcycle road racing, street motorcycling and bicycling. Sidi’s Duna UTV adventure boots are reinforced over the ankle boots that are designed […]
— Testing a great product from Assault Industries — Assault Industries’ Ballistic D universal steering wheel is a D-shaped, leather-covered wheel with an aluminum frame and a billet-aluminum center plate. The stitching on the leather cover is available in six colors to match most popular UTVs. To provide more room for the driver, the Assault […]
— The UTV Action crew puts them to the test to see how they rate — Tires are the number one thing UTV owners buy for their machines. They can make a big difference to the handling and performance of UTVs based on the terrain in which they’re ridden. There are plenty of companies making […]

— Testing a smart product — Here is a wheel bearing greaser tool developed by Machined Integrations that allows you to easily add grease to wheel bearings.

— Testing the lighter & sportier 2-seater version — When Yamaha designed the four-seat Wolverine X4, they created a new, more refined vehicle built around a new, twin-cylinder 850 engine. We’ve been hoping for a two-seat Wolverine 850 since the four-seater was introduced, and now it’s here! WHAT’S NEW? Yamaha didn’t just drop the 850 […]
— Testing the hottest non-turbo RZR — With the high-performance Turbo wars raging, Polaris still has a strong following with the extreme-performance RZR XP 1000 EPS, so much so it serves as the base for the all-new single-seat RZR RS1 and is still winning races in both short-course and longer desert races and rallies.
