Final thoughts. Overall I’m very impressed, but until these cars are in owners hands being used, will we really know how well they perform and are they reliable? The Speed on paper is a 100%, but in reality they are at 75%. What percentage will the H2 be? I think the Plaster City triple digit...

Part 3. The engine, trans and CVT look good and easy to do general maintenance on. The oil fill has a nice sight glass to see the oil level. Sorry I thought I got a picture of the oil filter. It looks easy to get to. Only thing I don’t like is it lays on its side. No way to prime it, but with...

Part 2. Now to the suspension. It looks big. The 74 inch track width looks right. The Fox 3.0 shocks and springs look big especially in the front where packaging is tight. The Fox shocks have the gray cera coating on the shock body’s to protect and make them last longer. Because the front shocks...

Part 1. Well here we are August 2025 and Kawasaki has released the new Teryx H2x Looking at my previous post from Oct 2024, it looks like I was right about a few things. So I got a call letting me know that Fun Bike Center just got their first H2 and if I wanted to come see it, they were just...

BRP lays off 120 workers in their Canadian Ski-doo plants. But the bigger news if you read the whole article is BRP put the marine division of BRP up for sale back in October. This is big! Like the other Powersport brands BRP has been struggling the past few years after covid. But selling off...

Not UTV News, but it is a Powersports business, and KTM does work with CFMoto who is in the UTV industry. For those who have not known, KTM & it’s parent company Pierer Mobility AG discloses that layoffs are coming and production is going to be moving...

Glad you enjoy and get something out of my posts.

So CFMOTO is having to postpone the release of the Z10. It sounds like they found a few issues they feel need to be resolved before they release it to the public. Sounds like a fall 2025 release date now.,

I think AC is struggling more as they are not as big as some of the others, and have less models to offer. But both Polaris & BRP have shown lower then projected on their quarterly returns for the past year & a half. Polaris did a large lay off earlier this year. So I don’t think it’s just AC...

Arctic Cat announced a week ago that they would be laying off some employees, and stopping all production after they complete building this model year’s snowmobile, and would restart in later 1st quarter 2025. And that they might not make any 2025 ATV’s or UTV’s...

A few thousand for Speed be a huge improvement. A year later and they have yet to release a 1000 cars. Speed UTV need has been very quiet lately.
