All look cool and fun to drive over the roughest of terrains. My 2 favourites are the 6×6 and the CF Moto uforce!!! 😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you very much for the links, big hugs for all.
The 6 wheeler would be my pick at 64 i need something a bit sedated not too wild.Stay safe and live free.
CVT isn't very effective in harsh off road terrain & certainly not the kind of off road terrain Side-By-Side ATVs are exposed to regardless of the brand of the Side-By-Side ATV . . . don't like the suicide door arrangement in SBS ATVs . . . the Can-Am DEFENDER Limited 6X6 + 1.5 in. Lift 1.0 Turbo I3 2-Dr Side-By-Side ATV (LHD) could do with a non tilting conventional fixed bed variant (as in pickup truck) for true camper & off-roading geeks . . .
Today we are looking at the side by side models that received updates for 2022 and 2023 model years. Which of these is your top pick?
