at all four corners. This time we were
able to match up the two four-seaters.
The four-seater suspension always
feels more compliant. In the dunes,
the Dynamix is a clear and major step
up over a car that we have grown to
love. For rocky and choppy driving
on trails and roads, the Fox Edition is
better at absorbing
the edges, but the
four-seat Dynamix
is an improvement over the
two-seater.
Polaris made the Dynamix 4 a
good-looking car. Photos don’t do the
black color justice since you don’t see
the metallic in it. This is a truly fun
ride for all sorts of off-roading. RZR XP 4 DYNAMIX
During our shootout between the
Dynamix and the Can-Am Maverick
X3 X rs Turbo R, the Dynamix was at a
disadvantage in the high-speed rough
compared to the X rs with its 6-inch-
more travel and 8-inch-wider track. We
had a chance to do a brief direct com-
parison between the Maverick X3 X rs
Turbo R Max in the dunes. The X3
is 18 inches longer than the
RZR 4, and it weighs
150 pounds
more than
the Dynamix
4. The width
does feel
nice in the dunes, but the X3 is so calm
it feels like a passenger car.
Although it is not specific to the
Dynamix, the Polaris Turbo engine
is truly exceptional. It has all the
torque and controllability for tight
and technical driving or even rock
crawling. But when you get room,
mud or sand that eat horsepower, the
Dynamix is a monster as the Turbo
spools up. The power is super fun
when it builds rpm and truly lets loose.
The clutching is smooth, we had no
belt issues, and the Dynamix is as civil
and polished as you would expect
for a machine that is the pinnacle of
Polaris performance in 2018.
CONCLUSION
We said the 2018 RZR XP Turbo
Dynamix feels light on its feet, nimble
in turns and works extremely well as
a package. That goes double for the
Dynamix 4. The longer and heavier
machine responds so well to the stiffer
suspension tuning. And despite being
a long-wheelbase, four-seat car, it
remains playful and fun in all sorts of
driving. ❏
