#Utv

Imagine you’re deep in the woods or amid a sea of dunes, somewhere too far from civilization to still have cell service. When you’re riding such remote places,staying connected with your buddies while on the trail is crucial for the overall safety of the group. While many still turn to walkie-talkies or CB radios, the general interest and consensus for what works best has shifted to General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS), a type of radio service which offers better clarity, longer range, and generally less frustration than the aforementioned, making it (arguably) the best option to take and off-road in general.

Honda Powersports has partnered with Maersk, a logistics organization, to open a new distribution center in Phoenix, Arizona. The 150,000 square-foot facility will serve to help the company better ship and deliver machines like their ATVs and UTVs.

John Deere has announced the new Gator XUV 845 and Gator XUV 875 utility vehicles, bringing more refinement, power, and work-friendliness to the duo. John Deere has also equipped them with an improved cargo box, more convenience features, and preparation for precision ag tech.

Watch as the crew from Fueled UTV transform a  Polaris XPEDITION into an epic overland rig ready to venture well beyond where most normal side-by-sides can go. With upgraded suspension, protection parts to keep it on the trail, additional lighting that allows the adventures to continue after dark, aftermarket wheels, a rooftop tent, and even heated seats...because why should you be cold or uncomfortable when you're busy exploring the backcountry?

As spring came to a close, we traveled to Johnson Valley in California to meet up with Honda Powersports for a scorching hot ride through the desert. Their flagship Talon 1000 (two- and four-seater) side-by-side is now sporting Showa suspension from the factory, and we had the opportunity to test them out through deep canyons, rocky hill climbs, and sandy washes. While you'll probably see how much fun we had in this gallery, you'll need to read our review to learn exactly how that new system handled the punishment.

The age of accessing the internet anywhere at any time continues to blossom with the announcement of Starlink's $599 Mini roaming. While the mobile service has been available to jet-setters and overlanders for some time, this new portable device opens the worldwide web to a much wider (and sometimes more compact) range of travelers. It is small enough to fit in a backpack, tough enough to ride along in a UTV, and it brings high-speed internet to users wherever they go. Sounds like a great addition to the essentials list for side-by-side overlanders or even as a camp accessory to multi-day ATV trips to remote places, doesn't it?

You might have read the story already... (And if you didn't, check it out here.) But we wanted to share a more visual experience of our escapades through Colorado driving the 2024 Wolverine RMAX 1000. This is content for the busy (wo)man, or Gen Z, or anyone who doesn't have the time to read anymore.

TL;DR, check out our photo gallery from Taylor Park when you get a sec.

Eryk Goczał, the youngest winner of the Dakar Rally (age 19), took a little spin in his 240-horsepower Can-Am Maverick R through Energylandia, an amusement park located in Zator, Poland, which is owned by his father, Marek Goczał, who also competes in the T3 category at Dakar. The video was produced by MCH Photo who followed the Goczał family at the 2024 edition of the Dakar Rally where both Eryk and his uncle, Michal, were disqualified for using a non-permitted part on their Taurus T3 Max challengers - discovered during the rest day in Riyadh. Although the disqualification was certainly a setback for the Goczał family and their Dakar efforts, that didn't stop young Eryk from taking advantage of his family's property, ripping through the empty amusement park like Ken Block in his Can-Am Maverick R! What would you do if someone handed you the keys to a Can-Am inside of Energylandia?!
