I agree Budro, this thing should ROCK in Moab,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IF they got the low range gearing right, and I'm guessing they did with the experience I've had riding with a Teryx T4, which has superior gearing to my Wolverine 708.
77 ft lbs torque, great ground clearance, superb suspension travel, 351 lbs bed cap, 31's on 15's, high air intake for water crossings,the 4x4 system that works best for me, 1.5 gallons more fuel on board than YXZ, my math says 272 Lbs more than YXZ, low range without rebuilding a transmission or changing flywheel wheels.
I dont need 10,500 rpm red line, I need low end torque, and I prefer regular doors as opposed to suicide, sure looks good to me on paper, anxious to sit in one and check out the "feel".
Hopefully dont have to modify the door opening, bolsters or seats to have easy access to the cockpit!
Wonder what its like to perform regular maintenance on?
Their release video shows a multi-dimensional machine that I'm sure isnt the absolute best at everything, but it looks like it will come pretty close to handling a variety of terrains rather well, (without, like you said Budro, "modifying the hell out of it") except for the trails with the 50" pinch gates, of course!
For me I wouldnt need lift kits that potentially overtax frame components and change the geometry, bigger tires that overload steering, brakes, and suspension components, wheel spacers that load bearings and suspension different than they were designed for, and best of all I wouldnt be screwing around with a clutch trying to find the right combo to get it to climb at 12,000+ feet of elevation,,,,,,,,,,,,,IF they got the low range right.
BUT,,,,,,,The big question from the wife is: does it ride as nice as the Wolverine???
