Well today was the day the 2 arrived  but of course i forgot my camera  Boy's it took us atleast 2 hours to assy. the uxv but it was worth it i was going to bring one home to take pictures and to ride but mom and dad took it out tonight to try it out.
I did try it out down the road with my sales person i would say in 600ft. we where hitting the speed limiter at 46mph this machine is no slouch for a 500cc i'am sure a 700 rhino or prowler or 700 ranger will get to 40 mph faster but it wouldnt be enough to justify spending 3-4 thousand more imo i'll have a ride review up sooooooon

Went for a ride today with the UXV i'am going to start off with the 1 thing i notice that needs to be adj. is the shocks i feel it would ride better set alittle softer oh did i mention the RIDE man it rides awesome just think softening it up a bit would make it 100% rather than 99% lol.
Steering is very easy to steer brakes work awesome the shifter moves very easy just every thing on the uxv works very smooth.
Power is good very good there where a few steep hills to climb i left it right in high range and not a problem even with my girlfriend riding with me and i'am not small at 350 pounds. And yes the hill was pretty steap and we had to hit it from just about stoped i have a vidoe where we hit 46 MPH right off the speed limiter plenty fast enough in a side by side

Any drag racing against the Rhino? It would be interesting to see how it competes side by side.

Yes we did run them and he smoked me pretty good up to about 42 then he stoped pulling on me we just kinda held right there. I wanted to run around 38-40 mph then hit them he wouldnt do it LOL. He pulled me 4 lengths pretty quick but that was about it like i said then we stayed even.
Dont forget i weigh 350 pounds + had my girlfriend with me at around 145 and he only weighs about 185 also he has a HMF exhuast and CAMS + CDI BOX. and it's a 660 to be honest stock for stock equal driver weight the 660 rhino might pull 2 lenghts quick but i believe on a 1 mile run down the road the UXV would out run it on top since there speed limiter is set at 40 mph.
The UXV would kill the rhino 450 like no tommrow

The rhino 450 is its competition but with some motor work a pipe and i would put a cdi off of the mxu500 and bet you would see a big difference.
I know a company working on a 700 cylinder kit for the 500.
