I wasn't sure what to expect when getting a SxS either...and i had only ridden with a Rhino shortly after they came out. But it did impress. Just as my own has with its abilities. If someone is holding back from a SxS because they are afraid they may "lose" some terrainability, they should stop worrying.

Unless you duck under downed tress regularly, like we did as teens...

I love quads, but now that I've has a SxS...it would be tough to go back.

 

The more I look at this, the more I think I like it. I first was a bit unsure with the manual transmission but it seems to be pretty easy to use. With the accessory recluse clutch, not having to deal with a clutch pedal actually looks like a lot of fun. The size of the machine kinda limits it to wide open trails though. There are a few places in my area where it would be right at home though. At $20,000+, its a bit out of my price range but I can see a few of these being available used in the next 4-5 years for a good price. Maybe down the road perhaps.
