I think I overheard the SXSblog day it handles whoops better than the YXZ....

Just a thought :p
They did say YXZ, all I had was CC here at work to read. That being said, they have a '16 yxz with the base shocks. All the '19 shocks were changed. Wheelbase and width of the yxz compares to the X also.

It kinda looks like a Artic cat. It’s a shaft drive ? They should have a race with all the top models for each manufacturer, to see who’s top dog. Everything, like mud, rock crawling, flat out, and dirt trails. That would be great. Thanks for the pictures. :)

Arctic Cat/Textron XX is cvt driven by the YXZ engine.

So my understanding is that the YXZ is made to be run high rpms and the Talon is made to run more low end torque running lower rpm.....

If you don't keep the rpm's up on the YXZ you are going to be disappointed in the power.....


Sounds like the Talon is built to pull and have torque.... kind of like the 450 dirt bikes that old motorcross riders like me are used to.....

Isnt the yxz basically a motor they used in sleds?

I guess my point is they are 2 completely different engine designs...... kinda like diesel vs gas engines....


Dont you f***ers get started on that CP and plumber

Haha . That was funny. But old dirt bikes, I had a , only good one, Can-Am 250 MX. That thing would flip you on your back in 5th gear. Almost go straight up. Crazy torque. Raced every other bike, the blue Yamaha, Honda and a couple others at a track with a paved drag strip beside it. Sitting on the gas tank to keep her dog. Wow. What a bike. Sorry, reminiscing. Haha.
