I saw a video of someone doing over 90mph in it. Not sure who was driving. Looks like they have their top athletes/drivers out there along with some media people.
The interior layout looks good.
I am sure there will be a cut away on display at the Sand Show and we will see if there is more tubing/support in that area. If you look closely at the passenger side it looks like there is a tube close to where the a-pillar attaches to the frame.
I never felt unsafe on any of the Baja trips with my UTV. We were a decent size group and the person that put on the trip had 20+ years of Baja experience.
The biggest pain is coming home and being stuck in the border line.
Not even sure how it became an event. I thought he just posted a few of them were thinking of going out and if people wanted to join they were welcome to join but must have dune experience.
The interior upgrades with each model year seem to get better and more car like refined. Can Am is the only one that seems to miss the mark with the interior layouts and lack of storage.
A Raptor 250 would be the route to go. He will be on the quad for several years and it will get him through the dunes.
My kid started riding a Raptor 250 when he was 8 and continued until he was 13/14 years old.
Maybe photoshopped out the additional support for the photo. Kawi has always built stout UTVs and I see no reason for them not to do the same with this model.
