    The RZR RS1 is also equipped with a new brake system, giving drivers the option of traditional single-foot action or rally-inspired two-foot performance.

    It definitely has three pedals. It is at 55.5 on the video time. had the screen shot but didn't no how to save and post it. Also sounded like Taner shifted the thing in that frame.

    The way i saw it, it has a combined pedal so you do not have to move your left foot at all so you can brake just like an F-1 car!

    If I did a custom cage I would seriously consider tapering it in towards the top. Even a couple inches on each side would make a big difference.

    Looks like the Polaris single seat won its first two races this week end. Even won the supercharged class with its stock 110 hp motor.

    Most of those races are 90% Polaris entries, 9% Can Ams, and 1% Yamaha and Arctic Cat. The Textron utv's look like racers if they can make them durable.

    Entries are open to all makes, and everyone wants to drive a winner.
    It is kinda telling when a new just available stock 110 non turbo RZR beats an established repeat winner purpose built for this series YZX and everyone else in the turbo class though.
    It looks like Textron can't even get their cars to the dealers to sell. Race? None of the other manufacturers appear to be worried about that. Textron could do well but they are tiny in the market with apparently very little organization. My local dealer took them on two or three years ago but dropped them last month. Can Am is coming forward quickly now. Polaris wins while the others do whatever it is they are doing??
    Yamaha is still the mystery to me. I still say they should study Can Am and Polaris product development and marketing. You and I both know how much more impact the YZX would have had on the sporty market if it had an auto and low range option. I am not taking anything away from the ones that like the clutch and stick shift. I am glad they have that option. Yamaha seems to like the specialty segments more than the large established categories so maybe they will build their own single seat rig to compete with the Po.

    Yes they do and it makes them money in the long run.
    Win Sunday, sell on Monday.
    Can you imagine the difference it would make in sales of the Textron Havoc if they won the Hammers race? I know, that is kinda in the twilight zone kind of thing, but!
