How do you think the new Wolverine will stack up against the RZR 570?

 

[Timmi]

It's much more versatile as a crossover machine with the options available.

The Wolverine has 2 more hp then the RZR 570?

 

[Timmi]

much better suspension and drive components than my 570...

what is the hp rating, I never saw it

 

[yamahacurtis]

I don't think there will be any comparison. The wolverine looks like it will be a all around better unit. The major factor being reliability.

 

[4Nines]

The Wolverine looks to be 10.6'' wider then the RZR 570 so it's not truly a trail only machine. The extra width will give a lot more stability and utility, but after reading a bit more I don't think the Wolverine and RZR 570 are in the same category.

 

[Timmi]

I will agree with you on that point. The Teryx, Commander, etc. would be more in it's class.

Polaris had lots of engine failures on the 570. Broken rods, broken valve springs, leaking air box problems, lots of other problems. Low ground clearance and shock spring sag. Its a 50 inch trail model. I installed spring spacers and 2 inch wheel spacers. It has 45 hp and the Wolverine has over 58 hp. If you ride the 50 inch trails your choice in the 570, Trail Cat 700, or the Honda Pioneer 500. I have a Pioneer 500 for the 50 inch trails and yup its slow but still fun.

I have a 570, I know what you're saying. Where are you getting the hp number for the Wolverine?

Yeah I don't think Yamaha has released official hp numbers for the Wolverine? If you found them somewhere Bob please let us know.

I looked at at s 570 before I got a AC. It wasn't for me.

 

[TN6680]

The 900s is very nice machine. Polaris did good with it.

 

[Timmi]

I had my 570 before the trail came out. I drove one, it's a nice machine. I wouldn't trade my 570 for it, but I would trade for the Wolverine.

The Teryx 800 has 57 hp and a 7,800 rpm red line. I think Yamaha said in one of their videos they had more power. Not sure but the Teryx has loads of bottom torque and it looks like the Yamaha beat it in a drag race. The wolverine is about 250 pounds lighter but running with a 800 V-Twin Teryx is pretty good. Its not a true 800 but more then their 750.

 

[Timmi]

All I have seen is that Yamaha has a video of the Wolverine closely beating a Teryx in a standing start drag race. I have not seen a claim of more hp. I have driven a Teryx, they are well built but more utility than trail oriented. I think the Teryx 800 is 783cc.

 

[TN6680]

I did like the price of the base 570. The local dealer can't keep them in stock.

 

[Timmi]

I paid $8,800 for mine in Sep 2012. My only complaint with it is the sachs shocks, makes it ride rough.

 

[TN6680]

That's a great price. That's cheaper than most atv's.

 

[Timmi]

It really is an atv with a sxs body on it lol

I have a 2012 RZR 570 and it has been a really good machine. It has over 4000kms (about 2500 miles) and the only issue was a seat belt retractor that failed after encountering some mud. Of course we don't beat on it and we are very meticulous with our maintenance. Yes, I said "we". Mrs. RayZer loves four wheeling as much as i do! The only thing I could say would improve it would be a better suspension and more cargo capacity as we have a lot of things that we like to pack along for a day on the trails. The Wolverine seems to provide a solution for both those issues. What else makes the Wolverine interesting for me, is I used to work at a Polaris dealership. Last year I got a better offer from a Yamaha dealer, so of course I'm quite excited to see this new side by side in person. I figure if I'm going to make a move, why not go all out?
