How to Choose

Start with the job. Utility side-by-sides like the Can-Am Defender, Honda Pioneer, and Kawasaki MULE PRO tow, plow, and carry gear through hunting season and farm chores. Sport models such as the Can-Am Maverick and Kawasaki Teryx KRX trade cargo beds for suspension travel and speed on the trail. For value, CFMOTO's UForce and ZForce undercut comparable machines while keeping KYB suspension and Bosch electronics. Families size up to the six-seat Pioneer 1000-6, Defender MAX, or Wolverine RMAX4.
