UTVs

Take it from us: You’ll never think you need a good UTV winch until you actually need one. This means that you’re probably already stuck, and being stuck on the trail without a winch is a major buzzkill.

Adding a UTV spreader to the back of your rig is a sure-fire way to take a lot of hassle out of lawn care – or any task that requires the broadcast of material, really. This type of machine generally includes some sort of hopper that can be filled with a pellet- or seed-type product, with a distribution system underneath it that spreads out material as you drive along. Spreader – geddit?

Last month, we published evidence that Kawasaki is planning to launch a new Mule with a 999cc four-stroke gas-powered engine. It now appears that the official announcement is coming soon, as Kawasaki is teasing an "all-new STRONG workhorse" which will be revealed on June 6.

This is the first true adventure UTV, according to Polaris. Rather than a focus on speed or utility, the XPEDITION is made to take you, your family, and your gear deeper into the backcountry than ever before. It comes in two varieties: the XP with a traditional dumping cargo box, and the ADV with a full roof, covered cargo area, and a flat folding rear seat back. Both versions of the XPEDITION have a 60/40 flip-up rear seat.

That name may sound familiar. The new team taps into the already successful efforts of Raceco, an off-road racing business that already supports Talon competitors in a variety of racing series across the US. Raceco has fielded class-winning efforts in the SCORE International Baja 1000 and 500, as well as the Best in the Desert and Ultra 4 series. Now, with factory backing directly from Honda, the team will direct its efforts toward the Champ series.

Moose Utility Division is introducing a new brake rotor for UTVs. The lazer cut rotors are made of 420 high carbon stainless steel and claim greater friction and durability than stock rotors. The rotors are available for $109.95 at local dealers or online at MooseUtilities.com.

Polaris has begun shipping the first XP Kinetic versions of its Ranger UTV. This model provides a huge upgrade in power and performance over the existing Ranger EV.

Sometimes public records can reveal information about upcoming vehicles that the manufacturer has not yet announced. While reviewing some recent California Air Resources Board (CARB) documents, we found one that may indicate that one of Kawasaki’s side-by-sides could be getting a bigger engine starting with the 2024 model year. Let’s look at the facts, then take some educated guesses.

Since its introduction in 2014, the Polaris RZR XP has been one of the heavy hitters in the UTV world. Polaris has announced some major updates for the 2024 model that make it even faster, stronger, and more comfortable.

Honda has announced updates for the Pioneer UTVs and ForeTrax ATVs for the 2023 and 2024 model years. Most of these changes are relatively minor, involving color changes and modest price increases.

We've been eagerly anticipating what Honda has planned for its 2023 lineup, and today, we finally got our first look. Sort of.

They say a bad day at the track is better than a good day at work, but Can-Am could not have had a better day at both. At King of the Hammers, the Can-Am Factory Racing Team and their Maverick X3s swept all three podium positions in the UTV Pro Mod Class, as well as the top two positions in UTV Stock.

Here's another installment in Can-Am's short film series, with a story of how a soldier returning from the battlefield found a way to work through his struggles by challenging himself with off-road adventure and surrounding himself with the scene and the family that comes with it all. See the video below and a brief press release beneath:

"From mudding to property maintenance, these vehicles are purpose-built with enhanced features that enable our customers to make the most of their day, and we're excited to bring them back for 2023."

From modern farms and woodlots to the property owners who love outdoors projects, the Kawasaki Mule PRO-FX EPS LE is exactly the type of machine you want around when its time to get the job done.

In fact, our three-week loan of the Mule PRO-FX came at the ideal time, as a few big trees were set to come down at my family’s property up north to make sure they didn’t fall on the house. We also needed to build a new winter shelter for our machinery, and the Kawasaki was a great companion for both of these ventures.

Honda's liter-class side-by-side sees a recall for an issue that could potentially destroy your engine if not addressed. This is in addition to a previous Honda recall from 2022 for the Talon SxS. See below for more details.

Whether you’re blasting through the dunes or tackling gnarly rock crawling trails, upgrading your Polaris RZR skid plate can be one of your best investments. If you haven’t fallen victim to rocks or tree roots puncturing through the thin plastic OE skid plates, consider yourself lucky. It’s not uncommon to see large rocks bust through mediocre stock skid plates and cause damage to the frame, transmission or engine cases, or even have sticks and branches puncture through the floorboards into the cab, dangerously close to its occupants.
