Top Side-by-Sides to Expect in 2020

Written by David Glassman

Heading off-road is always more fun with two! The 2020 model year promises to bring plenty of power and innovation to the side-by-side UTV market. Whether you’re looking to take it exploring at your local Minnesota off-road park or are planning on packing up for some serious competition, check out the latest models appearing in our showroom this year.

Be the Front of the Pack in a Can-Am Maverick

For 2020, Can-AM ups the ante on off-road excitement with the Maverick X3 X RS Turbo RR. This ride is built for exuberant afternoons on the trail, starting with its Turbo RR power plant and its 195 horsepower is ready to launch you straight up the trail while leaving your friends in the dust. The FOX 3.0 Podium RX2 Suspension (inspired by trophy trucks) gives you industry-leading travel so you can crawl over rocks and ridges with ease.

Do you ever get stuck with your rear wheels hanging high and no way to move forward? The Maverick X3 brushes that problem aside with its Smart-Lok differential featuring Trail Activ Mode. Just hit a button and your front axle locks, ready to grab on and pull you over that bump in the road. Your buddies with other UTVs may have to climb out and break out their tools while you leave them in the dust. If you enjoy driving the kids on the trail, order your UTV with up to 4 seats.

When cruising cross-country is more your speed, take a look at the new Maverick Sport X xc. Its ROTAX 1000R engine produces a respectable 100 horsepower, while its FOX Podium 2.5 QS3 shocks soften the blow when you leave the beaten path behind. Like the X3, you will also find the Smart-Lok system and Trail Activ and Trail modes at your fingertips.

Grab onto Excitement in a Honda Talon

In the UTV world, 2020 is all about finding extra room for your friends. The Honda Talon 1000X-4 takes all the excitement found in the Talon 1000X and adds a set of stadium-style rear seats. Positioned a few inches higher, your guests have a birds-eye view of the trail ahead while protected under the full-length canopy and roll cage. The 2.0 FOX Podium QS3 shocks in the front and 2.5 FOX Podium shocks in the back provide plenty of movement, minimizing the effect of the added weight on board.

Take your full-sized ride a step further in the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve. Leave the shifting to the machine with its automatic transmission and gear up for the win with launch mode. Are you always wrenching on your shock settings? The FOX Live Valve suspension does it all for you by constantly adjusting to the terrain. Each wheel receives it own adjustment, so when tackling uneven ground, you still enjoy superior performance.

Take the Whole Crew in a Polaris

Is it time to replace your old Polaris? The RANGER 1000 and RANGER Crew 1000 are added to this world-class lineup of the #1 selling utility vehicle and are ready to tackle any job you throw at it (or provide a comfortable ride to the weekend cabin). Available with seating for two, four, or six, load up the box to haul up to 1,000 pounds. The 12-inch ground clearance means you’re able to reach more of your property without breaking out the big guns.

If you’re looking to catch big air while leaping over hills and dunes, the 2020 Polaris RZR Pro XP is racing to your rescue. The strongest RZR ever built, it will add confidence to your cockpit while dominating any terrain you might want to tackle. You’ll be riding with the pros using 181 turbocharged horsepower and making molehills out of mountains with its 22-inch usable travel. The Walker Evans® 2.5 Needle Shocks are simply the icing on the cake.

As you can see, you have a wide selection of rides to check out. Whether you’re planning on entering a rally in the desert, hunting down some fun in the forest, or getting a little grubby on your acres, you will find a 2020 side-by-side built for all your needs and desires.
