The 2018 Honda Pioneer 700 Deluxe and Yamaha Wolverine R-Spec are two middleweight adventure UTVs that share quite a bit in common. Like many of you, I like to get my need for speed fulfilled with the big horsepower UTVs that are readily available. However, if you asked most of us here which...

For a bit of fun we decided to see how the 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4 compares on paper to its stable mate – the Wolverine R-Spec – in a case of off-road sibling rivalry. Yamaha currently has two recreational UTVs in the stable under the Wolverine moniker – the standard Wolverine two-seater that...

We wanted to see how the new 2018 Can-Am Maverick X3 900 stacks up against the Polaris RZR XP 1000. It seems that about every week, one of the manufacturers reveals another new model. I’m not complaining, mind you. I love it, and I’m sure you do too. Can-Am has been on fire lately with a pile...

If you are looking for a new ATV for your youngster, you’d be smart to consider both the 2018 Yamaha YFZ50 and Polaris Outlaw 50. I go to my local dealership quite a bit and often take the kids with me. For them, it’s better than going to the toy store. There’s cool riding gear, and rows of...

In this battle of multi-passenger Sport-Utility UTVs, we look at how the 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4 and Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe compare. The 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4 turned a lot of heads when it was released a little while back. We all had a pretty good idea where the previous Wolverine fit...

When the Yamaha Wolverine X4 was unveiled earlier this week, the multi-passenger UTV drew comparisons to the Kawasaki Teryx4. With its short wheelbase and Twin-cylinder engine, it would seem (at least on paper) that the Kawasaki Teryx4 is the most logical comparison. Time to take a closer...

How does the new Ranger stack up against the old one? In perhaps our most unique by the number comparision, we wanted to see how the 2018 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 compares to the 2017 Polaris Ranger XP 1000. Yes, you’re reading that right. It’s not often that we compare two models from the same...

Accessories and creature comforts vs. big power You’ve saved up some money and have decided you have about $12,000 to spend on a new UTV. That’s awesome, as there are several good ones to choose from. When you break it down, it becomes a matter of what you really want for your money. On one end...

Top Gun Sport UTV Showdown Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake. There is a war going on. It is raging between Polaris and Can-Am over who can make the fastest and best handling Sport Side-by-Side. It is a war that Polaris held the high ground on for years, until Can-Am unleashed the X3...

Mean, Green Throw down! John Deere practically invented the idea of the UTV with the very first Gators. Granted, those machines were a far cry from anything resembling the UTVs we know today. Still, Deere started something that grew to be one of the biggest segments in off-road. As the Gator...

450cc ATV throwdown The recent release of the Yamaha Kodiak 450 caught a lot of people’s attention and caused someone to recently ask if it signaled a return to economically priced machines with smaller engines. To that, we’d simply say no. There have been moderately-priced machines in the...

ATV mud wrestling What kid didn’t grow up loving to play in the mud? For some of us, we never outgrow that desire to mix water and dirt together into some slimy goo and find a way to bring big smiles. Some ATV riders find mud on the trail and go around it. Others go through it, but reluctantly...

The Utility UTVs for the rest of us The relationship between Polaris and Can-Am is like trying to describe the relationship between the New York Yankees fans and those of the Boston Red Sox. Yeah, there’s a metric ton of competition, a whole lot of pride and maybe a bit of bad blood. These two...

A battle of middleweight Utility ATVs Honda may have the bragging rights to the first commercial ATV with the invention of the Honda ATC 90 back in 1969, but the first modern four-wheeled ATV title goes to Suzuki with the 1983 QuadRunner LT125. Three wheelers have sadly gone the way of the dodo...

We dig into the specs of these two North American 60-inch Sport UTVs The popularity of 60-inch Sport UTVs has grown dramatically since Polaris launched the first RZR S model a few years ago. That machine took the power, suspension and handling of the RZR down to a machine capable of extreme...

Mid-heavyweight ATV showdown So you want a new ATV but you’re not sure of which one you are going to get. You don’t need the massive horsepower of the 1,000-class machines, but at the same time want a bit more oomph than can be found with the machines in the 500-class area. If you want a...

500-class UTV throwdown While there are plenty of big horsepower UTVs on the market with big price tags to go along with them, not everyone has the budget or the need for the biggest UTV they can get. There is a definite niche market for the entry-level utility/recreation Side-by-Side that has...

Comparing diesel-powered Utility side-by-sides Around the farm or the job site, there are lots of uses for a hard-working, diesel-powered UTV to get the job done. They get good fuel mileage and getting a diesel means that you won’t need to have two kinds of fuel on hand with all the other...

A middleweight Utility ATV comparison There are a lot of Utility ATVs on the market. There are the big horsepower beasts that rip down the trail and can pull a forest full of stumps out of the ground with ease. Then there are the budget-friendly, small-bore ATVs that get the job done quietly...

Budget Honda thowdown! With engine sizes and price tags racing to see which can get higher, the mid-size ATV market is actually flourishing with vehicles that are extremely capable and have price tags that don’t have near the same “pain factor” as the big-bore class. Honda, the longest running...
