2012 Polaris RZR 570 SxS / UTV

2012 Polaris RZR 570 SxS / UTV Test Ride Review
::Continued::

Adding to the stability, Polaris saw fit to equip the Polaris RZR 570 with front and rear anti-sway bars that help to keep the chassis flat while cornering. Like most UTV’s on the market, the Polaris RZR 570 does not come with power steering, but it worked great none the less. “The handling was awesome. It was very precise and the steering felt very light considering it didn’t have power steering, and it went where you pointed it,” stated test rider Beau Baron.

The Polaris RZR 570 offers great handling on the trails with precise steering for quickly maneuvering the RZR around obstacles on the trail

The stock CST tires on the RZR 570 worked extremely well on our ride with no flat tires for our entire group
The stock tires worked well and hooked up off the start without too much spin and the brakes provided good stopping power. “I thought the tires worked pretty well for being stock. They felt solid and didn’t offer too much side roll or anything like that,” said Baron.

Despite its smaller size, the inside of the RZR 570 is quite comfortable. The seats were still comfortable even after about four hours of riding. The ergonomics were good, even for bigger riders and did not feel cramped.

With the RZR XP 900 transmission, the RZR 570 also features the easy to access CVT belt, which can be quickly replaced
Also, the Polaris RZR 570 airbox is easy to access with a removable panel in the cargo bed

Polaris has also made a few adjustments that make maintenance easier on the RZR 570. The CVT belt accessibility is now located on the driver’s side rear of the vehicle, which is much easier to access for maintenance and the air box is now easier to get to, as it is located in the bed, just like the RZR XP 900.

After a full day of riding, we feel the RZR 570 is a great addition to the RZR line-up & it will surely meet the needs of the consumer looking for an affordable SxS that is right at home on tight trails, and the Keweenaw ATV Club provided us with a great trail ride to evaluate the RZR 570 & we can't wait till they get final approval to open the trail system up to the public in the near future

Overall we had a great time with the Polaris RZR 570 and we think it is a great addition to the Polaris UTV family as it fills a void that other manufacturers have yet to satisfy in the way of a budget minded UTV that performs like no other. The machine is compact enough to fit on most trails and fire roads without any problem and is nimble enough to negotiate tight turns even without power steering. It is fun to drive and comfortable even on long rides and its fuel efficiency is definitely a bonus. It is another job well done for Polaris as they have produced another amazing machine, and we can’t wait to get one of our own.
