Well that is what I used to think...
I was the guy who used to say "for 20 grand I could build a sick jeep" or "If I liked to golf I'd consider getting one" ...
Now that I am a Dad, it is a blast being able to have fun with my 4 year old little princess riding shotgun safely belted in a car seat under a roll cage.
Anyways long story short, I just sold my TRX450R and Honda Rancher to purchase my first side by side earlier this month, and it's a friggin blast, super light compared to a truck or jeep, and way more fun for blasting down trails and in the mud with my 4 year old in here own seat rather than having to go slow and have her sit in front of me on one of my quads.
I have never owed a CVT belt driven anything, and I must say I am not a fan of the hesitation, but I also understand it's no TH400 with a trans brake. I have realized there are trade offs, for the light weight drive train components that make these rigs so capable I am assuming the less violent engagment of a CVT makes the most sense. I have already done some reaserch on clutching and found there is hope fore this issue, And I will be ordering a clutch kit that will engage at a higher RPM tomorrow...
However, for the driveline issue on these, I have also done some checking and I could not find an aftermarket driveline I can purchase to replace my stock one, I am looking for a chromoly balanced unit that is in correct phase that I can just purchase? If anyone knows of anywhere that sells one I would appreciate the info.
Thanks
Here are a few pics of the new rig, I snapped this first one right off the trailer, straight from the showroom floor... I have a bunch of goodies ordered and a lot of future plans, it's gonna be fun to use this as a before pic once I start tearing into it...
Here are a few pics from our first ride...

Have a good one Y'all
