P500 2020 Pioneer 500 Review from a Maine Mountain Trail Rider

[PortuguesePioneer]

Hey everyone, I just made a quick review of my 2020 p5 now that I have 300 miles in. It's my first SxS (coming from the ATV world) and I needed 50 inches due to some of the terrain and a few trails with restrictions.

Thanks for sharing.

I know this is an old post, but I'm looking at a 520 because of the 50" width. Here in Michigan we have hundreds of miles of 50" ATV trails and somebody has to carry the cooler and gas can for the dirt bikes that ride with us. My grandson's GasGas MC85 doesn't have much range, only about 35-40 miles.

The P500 and P520 are so close to the same machine you can apply anything you read/watch about the ride/comfort(or lack of)/reliability/etc to both.

They won’t win many races. They ride that 5” of suspension right to the bottom once you pass the curb. They are cheap in terms of SxS MSRP. They are reliable as an anvil so long as you don’t try to drive it across the ocean. You can spend way more than the MSRP on stuff for them if you want (I promise! Heck we can help you do it if you want). It will get you out and back every time carrying a passenger, cooler and fuel. If you have any specific questions just ask.

How big of lift on the cooler before you have to use spacers??
