The Teryx is also a very capable machine with great ride quality, I wouldn’t over look it.

I also had a Teryx-4 and loved it - not as much as the Worverine but was a great machine. I also know a bunch of people who have newer ones and ride with them every weekend with no issues.

One guy in our group has a Honda Talon 1000x - that is a very cool machine. Wildcat Performance with Honda reliability.

Wildcats are junk - My buddy is on his third (glutton for punishment) my 2014 1000x got me 350km and cost me over $7k and still is not right..... that's why I bought the Yamaha


Not total junk. Mine lasted 4000 km at 9800 rip ems before it blew up a con rod. I am merciless on the bumps. I’ve never worn out any an arm bushings to date. Two wheel bearings on the driver side only. weird. Never even blown a belt. Knock on wood took out a motor but other than the XX is a Sherman tank.

Murrays current 2023 XX seems to be doing alright but I think he's still under 2000km, his last one spontaneously combusted after a ton of annoying little break downs & tows and his one before that was a nightmare as well. Mine was a $15K mistake.

I’ve heard of some horrors for sure. Tex has one also. I think he’s broke some stuff too. Imo. Just like a polaris. One must have a five-year warranty. Come July I will be selling mine. Starting off in a new unit again. Full warranty

I'm with drew

2018 xx , 5500 km , bought it used at 4000 km

Did have to do some work , have about 4000 into clutch , trans , bearings ect

Guy never did anything to it and it showed

But nothing has suspension like a xx , nothing is as tough either like drew said

Chit the bearings are bigger than mini van hub bearings

And so capable around here , even tho they are made for dunes

Only thing I don't Like is the hyme joints for ball joints , does not turn sharp , but you will never pop a ball joint out and wreck a day
