Last time out with the newly lowered P1k wasn't what it should have been with only half of the clutches. Last night all clutched up purely awesome. We know these woods like no ones business. And decided to take what's affectionately known as the "girls loop". The rig felt great! Way less tree hits on corners way less body roll huge difference in the tight stuff. The others noticed it right away. Not only that but other benefits stated showing up such as less wind less leaves and and sticks and it was a lot less. It started raining and you could be at 5mph without getting wet! With only a partial window (which even at night I love the tint!!!) The roof is moved forward a bit and the center of the roof was also pulled down so that dreaded pool up top doesn't hit us anymore. Everything was perfect. Omg I love this rig!!!
Sorry for video quality I was holding phone part of it and quality doesn't transfer from phone to this format well. First part of video is slow my apologies but we're getting belted and I'm riding with the girls.
I will be using the lift kit today and even with the kit the rig will be 3 inches lower so that's next. I'll do a run like that and next a run with sway bar removed. There's so many people here this weekend that have driven it we'll get lots of comments as to the differences. But for now really really happy with my decision. The pioneer is way more sporty! Night and day!

I love the anti sway removed! It's been great. Articulates something fierce. I appreciate everyone bringing this up and talking me into doing it. Feels weird at first but omg it's great. The overall feel of this rig is only missing front shocks. Super happy.

I won't remove my sway bar since info mostly high speed riding on dirt and occasionally blacktop. Had the sway bar disconnected on my rzr and it did great for articulation but had terrible High speed manners

It's not too bad but yes speed is a little sketchy. Much better for our woods rides though. We had ten inside and pulled another three today and was money

I know video quality is poor I didn't upload to YouTube so I apologize. This is coming from town up within a couple miles from camp. The dirt road after the train tracks has nasty pot holes and real bad wash board at times you can see just how stable the machine is at speed. Many are concerned about swaybar removal and how it'll effect high speed handling. We have a full house in the machine so at no point was I showing off just simply coming back from town. Please ignore the speed signs.
