New Kawi 250hp Supercharged SXS

[Sand Shark]

sounds like a 3000# pig with all those wants.

It should weigh close to the Pro R, but with more hp.

WOW...these new SXS are heavy....my Extreme Performance DR1 4-seat Sand Car with a LS3 V8 / S5 Transmission comes in around 2,500 lbs.

4WD, catalytic converters (and heat shielding), plastic cladding everywhere, glove boxes, 32"+ desert rollers with beadlocks... It adds up.

More HP does not always mean more better. Ill reserve my right to see one in person, alot of nut swingers out there to say its the next best thing since a Spud Utv.

Look for a bolt welded in somewhere?

KAW is too smart to go against RG's Patented Born in Baja Race Techniques!

I don't care how much of a hack you are...

No one thinks "I'll just shove a bolt in here to fill it"

I agree. And after seeing how the chassis was fixtured in the jigs, and watching the robot welding them up. A bolt falling from human error during mounting tubes in the fixture is way more plausible, than it being purposely put there during the welding process. I don’t think your getting close enough during welding to place it there during the robot arms moving, & welding and some fixture's were made to rotate.

I don’t suspect we will see this with the Kawi. But if we are shown pre-production units, I bet we could find other flaws. I found two on the CFMoto Z10 at last years sand show. Actually Tristin showed me one, and I found another.

To channel the 8th grader in me...

That's a big gap to fall into.
