Its been doing really well, only major issue was a broken tie rod end which happened in some really rocky terrain. I don't think it was a quality control issue, more of a lots of weight vs really rocky trail issue lol.

here are a couple other videos a buddy posted. The ODES is at the 2 minute mark.

Great videos.. I'm ordering the ODES 800 5 seater Friday. Is there any concerns you have about them? I've heard great things and I've heard horror stories about them. Any info would be great.

She's only got about 500kms on her but it has been a great machine, Main differences I found between this machine and a comparable one that was $10 grand more has just been minor fit and finish stuff, like the plastic cover that fits over the engine looks like it had to be modified by someone to fit around where the seat belt bolts too and the person who cut the plastic didn't do a nice job, but easily cleaned up. Also I found that it was loud in the cab from the original snorkel set up, when you stomped on it you could really hear the intake sound... I have now got it all snorkeled and that has got rid of the sound in the cab. Haven't used it much to see how well the snorkels hold up and if I need to do any more modifications to them but so far so good. I think the 2014 or 2015s have a different box where the air intake is so that might quiet it down. The other thing with that area is a lot of engine heat is pushed into the cab from there from that second fan they have installed. With the new box/cover I don't think its an issue. I plan to build a custom cover with a vent to block that area off but also allow my backseat passengers to open it if they want some warm air on those cooler nights out riding. Also it rides alright but a higher quality of shocks might be a future investment. Otherwise its been great, tons of power, oil filter and oil is readily available because its all can am stuff that it uses, also the clutches are identical to can am as far as I can tell. The owners manual actually specifies can am xps oil to be used in it. lol.. Oh and its got lots of power but the brakes when backing down a steep gravel boat launch are a little sketchy with my boat behind her...
