Polaris has unveiled a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) in its 2027 Xpedition utility. The transmission builds on the current mechanical CVT by adding pneumatics to soften noise and harshness when maximum rpm are not needed.

Not long ago, the Polaris RZR Pro R was the pinnacle of retail side-by-side domination. But now it's not even the flagship of the RZR family. The all-new RZR Pro R Ultra Edition attacks all means of unimproved earth via an industry-first suspension.

Generally Honda is the major Japanese automaker pushing out a fast, ferocious new side-by-side. This time, it's Toyota, which shows a radical side-x-side that delivers an extra 50+ hp over any production SxS out there.

Following the launch of a compact low-speed ambulance in July, California's GEM has unveiled an electric utility truck that's designed to haul gear through the neighborhood before heading to wilder work sites.

Kawasaki continues teasing its RZR-fighting flagship side-x-side, a high-performance monster promising top-of-market power. It has revealed the new rig will also include adaptive suspension and a spacious cabin with more seats than the competition.

After years of letting Polaris and Can-Am wrestle each other off the throne, Kawasaki is punching its way into the high-powered side-by-side battle with a beastly new supercharged machine. It will be something of a four-wheeled Ninja H2.

Side-by-side utilities (aka UTVs) are fun and useful machines. Add on Can-Am Apache tank tracks for the snow, though, and they gain a whole new season of usefulness. I went to Utah to find out how.

RZR Racing has been on something of a tear recently. The team partnered with Sebastian Loeb Racing and put Brock Heger in the driver’s seat. Then it won the Dakar. Twice in a row. And the machine that did it is now going into factory production.

Traveling to Coos Bay, Oregon, I recently experienced the new lineup of RZR Pro side-by-side models from Polaris. On the sand, in the dunes, and on the beach, every 2025 RZR Pro showed what it can do.

The Defender is a utility item with almost no frills. Like pickups from the 1970s, the 2024 Can-Am Defender offers no creature comforts, little in the way of electronic technology, and nearly everything about it is form derived from function.

Polaris has announced an all-new model lineup for the popular Sportsman 570 utilities. These all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are the most popular sellers in the Polaris lineup, and haven't seen significant change in over a decade.

Unveiled today at the San Felipe 250 rally, the new factory racing rig from Polaris is a complete redesign. A new one-piece chassis with a stronger, stiffer frame begins those changes.
