Looks like 4k difference. It is the same price as the highlifter. I'll def look into but I think I would have to drive them back to back to step up. It does have some extra stuff other then the shocks which helps
I think the display is like an extra 800 or something like that. it is cool though

I am a big brp supporter and bought the rzr1000 rather than a maverick. I now have 1300 km on my Rzr and am very happy. The only issue I had was my front suspension sagged right away. it was upgraded to the 2015 valve kit and havnt had 1 issue. with the suspension on this unit it rides like a dream. Might not be as fast as the maverick turbo but I know it takes the bumps better. Several magazine articles note this as well.

The Mav shares the same chassis as the commander....lol.

That is not a sport SXS chassis , never will be... Canam has tried numerous shock / a arm combos to improve the ride...
but it's pretty tough to turn a surburban into a ZO6 !!
Untill canam can match the Popo ride that great engine is wasted... IMO .

i would not buy the highlifter addition cause all you can get is a 6 month warranty on that machine... thats the problem... with stock axles and having a mud machine like that ( no different then can am ) and you will not be happy in the pocket book.... at least the can am you can get 3 years on it for what its worth...lol

6 months is fine.

By then I would replace all the axles and done

Ready to ride.

I would buy one.

Not sure how things are going to work out. I know the smart thing is to wait until the 2016's come out. The wife wants to wait a few months. I want my new toy now. I am selling three machines to get it and again the smart thing to do is to wait until all three are sold. Again I am not the smartest guy out there and I want my toy now!!

I don't think there are that big of changes to get a 2016. I was thinking more of getting a better deal on a 2015 that is out there now. I have been watching and the dealers are getting cheaper every couple of weeks.

starting to drop their pants due to the 16 release at the end of july. making room for the polaris overload. you won't be considering a 16 I don't think being as we have already seen the prices are going to jump a couple g notes. when the release happens you can expect the non currents to be selling at msrp because of the price hike. the high lifter is pretty cool but will knock the guts out of ya on an average trail ride. the shock valving is terrible.

Really? I know they had a stiffer suspension but didn't know they were rough. If Ron would stop working for one day I could find out lol

we have sold five and every one has had the shocks sent south for a makeover. one guy that has endless cash even spent 2g's on heated suspension seats and still had his shocks redone lol.

Depends on where you ride...the HL is meant for mud not speed. The heavy duty reverse chain is a must ...IMO . And the lower gearing is nice....
