5. CAN-AM MAVERICK X3 X RS TURBO RR 72<br />
The Can-Am Maverick X3 lineup includes several versions<br />
suited to your local terrain: RC for rock, MR for<br />
mud, RS for dunes, and DS for desert. The X package<br />
gets you exclusive graphics, seats, top-of-the-line<br />
suspension, and other features. The Turbo RR’s come<br />
in 64- and 72-inch width options and are built with<br />
a 200-horsepower Rotax ACE Turbo RR engine.<br />
Keep one thing in mind: With this powerful turbocharged<br />
mill, objects in the mirror are likely<br />
farther away than they appear.<br />

8. YAMAHA YXZ1000R XT-R<br />
With its Warn winch, Special Edition<br />
paint with color-matched wheels, and<br />
998cc inline-triple engine, the YXZ1000R<br />
XT-R is a stylish and high-spec standout<br />
among side-by-side UTVs. Added bonus:<br />
<strong>No</strong>thing beats the feeling of blasting<br />
through the gears with Yamaha’s Sport<br />
Shift paddle-operated manual transmission.<br />
[Starting at $23,299; yamahamotorsports.<br />

6. HISUN STRIKE 1000R<br />
The value-oriented Hisun Strike 1000R is built around a 976cc<br />
V-twin motor, and it’s paired with a CVT with two-wheeldrive<br />
and four-wheel-drive modes and a locking rear differential<br />
for extra traction when you need it. In the cockpit,<br />
you get an analog display (with a tachometer) and an<br />
LCD display for additional information. Better yet, a<br />
3,500-pound winch comes standard.<br />
[Starting at $14,599; hisunmotors.com]<br />
9. ARCTIC CAT WILDCAT XX<br />
The new Arctic Cat Wildcat XX SE can handle<br />
just about any terrain thanks to its beefy<br />
130-horsepower engine, CVT, and premium<br />
Fox 2.5 Podium Qs3 shocks. It comes with<br />
a shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system<br />
and a locking front differential for maximum<br />
grip when the trail gets gnarly. And if you get<br />
stuck, you’re in luck: This cat comes with a<br />
3,500-pound winch to pull yourself out of<br />
sticky situations.<br />

7. SEGWAY VILLAIN SX10 H<br />
Segway has come a long way since its original twowheeled<br />
personal transporter arrived on the market two<br />
decades ago. The new Villain SX10 H brings maximum<br />
performance with maximum tech that should give its<br />
driver plenty of confidence for exploring. A 1000cc, fourstroke,<br />
twin-cylinder DOHC motor creates 195 horsepower,<br />
and a unique hybrid powertrain allows the Villain to<br />
deliver instant torque. Villain’s Smart Commanding<br />
System (SCS) connects with an app and an onboard<br />
touchscreen to display real-time vehicle<br />
data and allow you to tweak the settings for<br />
different drivers, terrains, and conditions.<br />

10. HONDA TALON 1000R SPECIAL EDITION<br />
You can’t go wrong with any model in Honda’s 1000R lineup,<br />
which includes the Talon 1000R, Talon 1000R Fox Live<br />
Valve, and the Special Edition. These sporty side-by-side<br />
UTVs come in both two- and four-seat versions, and they<br />
all share the same high-output 999cc engine, snappy<br />
dual-clutch automatic transmission, and Honda-exclusive<br />
i-4WD tech. The Special Edition<br />
gets the Fox Live Valve suspension along with<br />
additional popular accessories installed from<br />
the factory.<br />
