THE ULTIMATE UTV & SIDE-BY-SIDE
BUYER’S GUIDE Behold: The ultimate in UTV Purchase R&D. Each year, we compile a list of all the top UTV offerings available in this ever-expanding market. At the rate that it’s growing, we may have to print a special buyer’s guide issue! This year, we saw two major sport players arrive on the market in slightly different segments. The Textron Off Road Wildcat XX dazzles with its plush suspension and comforatble cockpit. The RZR XP Turbo S represents the fastest way to get across nearly any terrain imaginable. New contenders in the utility
and sport-utility market emerged as well, providing a generational leap forward in creature comforts and utility. The ol’ “with age comes cage” quip is a little long in the tooth; these days we see young kids battling it out on the race track in RZR 170s, Trophy Truck drivers flogging UTVs in their spare time, and a whole new group of off-road enthusiasts emerging. One thing we do know for certain: the UTV is here to stay, stamping out a very viable footprint in the OHV realm, and we couldn’t be more proud.
