I live in the Yukon and need a 4 seater sxs for the family to go play in, there is no sand here so that doesn't need to factor into the make or model. I'll be doing trails along with going off the beaten path in the forest and the tundra. Lots of rocks up here also so i need to be able to climb those. Thanks for any and all input.

X2 on the Kawi! The others are all very low and long which makes them get high centred all the time.

The short wheel travel or suspention and low ground clearences concern me. What are they both 8.5"? I was kinda looking at the rzr 4 900. Also how reliable are they?

My buddy put in a 2 inch lift.

28 inch tires.

No clearance issues.

Now what about a 2 seater? My wife is thinking she will just get her own 2 seater next season since she wont be coming out much this year she is like 7 months pregnant. So that really opens up the options? Would a rzr 900s be best for 2 seaters?

what about the can am mavericks? It just when i go to the rzr forums it seems everyone posting about **** wrong with their rzrs. Like sand in engine, air filter crazy dirty in the 2015 900 series. Flattening out of something your belt is on or some ****(i'm not very vehicle inclined) ect... ect... They mavericks interior looks far superior. But how are they for reliability?

Go price them out and you will be looking at the rzr's! Most of the time the biggest problem with a machine is the lose nut behind the steering wheel. People are stupid and wreck things, then go onto the internet and complain. Polaris has the best line up of sxs

Just getting a 2 seater, the wife is going to get her own. 2 is better then when!!! Sorry for all the confusion. I still need a 2 seater that can go over the stuff I said, the extra room if I go hunting would be convenient. But I could just remove the passanger seat in a 900 s.
