The Rzr S is pretty fun. The power to weight ratio isn't so great, but it is at least adequate, which is better than the Rhino. The suspension is incredible. But the Polaris belt drive in the Rzr is terrible in my opinion. Polaris is using their old style belt drive in the Rzr, that they used on their Scrambler ATVs with no engine braking. On downhills the belt dissengages and free wheels, and makes a terrible squealing noise. The belt also is very jerky with its engagement at slow speeds, which makes it difficult to finesse your way through tough terrain at slow speed. Polaris has at least two versions of their belt drive transmission that are more modern than this one. One has engine braking to the rear wheels, and the newest has engine braking to all four wheels. Both work much better than the old style belt drive in the Rzr. Polaris has the better transmissions, so why didn't they use them in the Rzr. When Polaris puts the 850 XP motor and its transmission in the Rzr S I'll consider buying one.
