On this episode of DIRT TRAX...

Mike gets a new appreciation for utility-focused side-x-sides after evaluating Kawasaki's 3-passenger MULE PRO-FX 1000 HD Edition in a variety of applications from trail riding to working around the farm or ranch.

AJ's in the TRAIL TECH shop showcasing all the features and benefits of the 8-ply Kimpex 30-inch Rock Fighter tires after installing on our Can-Am Defender Max Cab XT HD11 so that you can make the most informed choice if you're considering upgrading your side-x-side's tire package.

Next up, he's installing a set of 46mm Elka Stage 4 shocks on both of our 6-passenger, full cab side-x-sides making a HUGE upgrade in ride quality from the stock suspension packages on these machines.

Then, following Mike's first ride late last season, Luke gets to share his thoughts on the mid-sized and value-focused Polaris Ranger 500 and talks about what he likes and dislikes about this machine and what buyers can expect after nearly a full season's use.
