How about comparing apples to apples. A commander is only 85 horse compared to 110 horse of the highlifter. Try a maverick next time. Then you might have something to brag about.

That highlifter rzr is bad a$$, nice ride. I think only the turbo maverik would stand a chance from what i have seen. But then thats not apples to apples.

1000 vs 1000. It's a fair comparison. And the maverick is a turd too. Either way rzr wins

One wonders when canam will learn you can not build a serious sport SXS with an outdated utility chassis....adding more power and new shocks does not really cut it...
popo took the time and R&D to build multiple chassis for each application, be it trail , dune ,dessert ,mud etc etc.....the duners love the canam motors , but laugh at the outdated a arm suspension. The trail riders can't use a canam on 50 inch trails....
While it may save canam a few $ to build the same machine with various engine and a arm changes , it still just does not work....period.

For example picture GM putting a Z06 motor in a surburban...it fits ? But why...lol
there is a reason popo dominates sales and podiums in nearly all SXS events....
