I regret that I haven't made more time to ride it...

 

no regrets from my 570LE. I ride a brute force 750 and the 570 seems plenty capable and satisfies my riding needs. I wish it had a little more ground clearance, which I may put a racertech 2" lift on it - other than that - a nice machine and good power

the lift helps a lot as do a set of 26" tires. the 570 has about the same power as the 800 and a much better transmission

 

I recently had to sell my 2012 570 and missed it so bad the first day I went out and bought a 2013 just a few days later. I had absolutely no problems with it and felt like I lost a friend when it was gone. Love the machine and don't regret buying it at all.

:ride:

 

You would almost have to find somebody that has actually gone from an 800 to a 570...

 

We have both. My dad bought a 570LE. He has expressed to me twice now he wishes he would of bought an 800s

I think the 570 is noticeably weaker than my 800. I notice it in different areas in some tougher trail rides. I've put 100 miles on the 570 and the only thing I like is the EPS. And I really wonder if the difference is my after market shocks and removed sway bars changing how fast I can go down a trail.

I think if someone offered me a brand new 570 even up for my 2010 800 I wouldn't do it.

 

My dad has a 2013 570 and I have a 2012 800-S. I too felt the 570 was noticeably weaker than the 800. The 570's only advantage is ease of maintenance. My 800 rides better, gas mileage is within 1 mpg, and the 800 is quieter and smoother. My dad has put 2400 miles on his 570 since buying it in July this year and a loose exhaust heat shield has been the only problem. He did say his next machine will likely be an 800-S or a 900 since the 50" width is a bit tippy.

 

Dang thats a lot of miles since July!!

I bought got a good deal on a new 2012 about a month ago and have only put close to 200 miles on it. Havent had any problems out of it and love it so far.

 

I bought my RZR-S on October 15th. I just rolled over 1000 miles yesterday...averaging almost 100 miles/week!

 

Got it in Oct.,only a couple hundred miles,so far seems to be a good choice.

 

I have had my for about four or five mounts I have about 490 miles on it and I must say it is by far the best utv I have ever had!!!

 

I wonder if all these "weak" 570's have had the reflash done. Mine on bighorns was very impressive, when riding with a group of about 20 rides total. Only issue was ground clearance. Going out now for a 3 day ride for the first time on 28 zillas. Will report back.

 

What I have witnessed is on flat ground the 570 will keep up with the 800 till 35 mph and then it looses ground. Now when you get in a situation where you have to work them a bit the 570 is no comparison. The added torque of the bigger 800 shines when you need to work them, like in deep mud or deep snow. The 800 is quieter, smoother and appears to still have a stronger resale. If you try to trade a 570 in on a 800 hang on to your you no what.

 

I've had my 570 since April. No issues to speak of other than needing some more ground clearance and better shocks eventually. 26" ITP TerraCross help a lot over stock tires. 2" Highlifter coming next month. Clutch had weights changed out the door and I removed the spacer. Plenty of power for what I do. Not a 75 MPH+ machine, but 60 is plenty for me.

 

I have a 12' 570 and a 13' xp4, while the power is no comparision, I really enjoy riding the 570. Never drove a 800 so I cant compare. But the 570 has done everything ive asked it to do and its a blast riding.

 

I have had 3 800's before the 570 and would never buy a 800 agian. Same power, easier mantinance, and overall, less problems. I am waiting on a 570s

 

the 570 is bad a$$ on the trails that what i hear

 

Even my wife, who is a fairly non-mechanical type when it comes to vehicles, noted the difference between the 2013 570 and 800- enough so that she insisted we buy the 800 after test driving both. Quieter, smoother running, more responsive to throttle.

It's a decision we certainly don't regret!

 

Toomanytoys, I would have to disagree with a 800 pulling away from 30mph. I race my stock 570 and have only been pulled away from after it hits 58mph, and to prove my point, I have a video from the heartland challenge. If you look from 13minutes till the end, you will see a 800 in a open field runnig wide open, and I pass him at the end in my 570. The field run was up hill, so neither him or me reached top speed, but I pulled him the whole way, and passed at the end.

I have both machines in the garage and switching drivers running them over and over same results. 30 to 35 the 800 pulls away and till it tops out. You can disagree all you want but I know from my experiences what I've seen.

I don't care about cost I paid less for none than a new 570

 

You will also see at the beginning that the 570 got the holeshot.

 

My dad bought a 570 back in the summer and traded it in a few weeks ago on an S. his man complaint was the ride quality and the cost to upgrade tires and suspension.

When I played with it at Brimstone I thought it was more responsive than my S at low speeds but rode like crap.

However, I think it is a good unit for the money if you don't mind putting some money into lift, suspension and new tires.

 

I installed the 2" racer tech lift and left the rear sway bar disconnected, huge improvement in the ride. the "s" and 900 have much better ride than any of the 50"

 

I was condsidering the 570 just for the ease of maintenance of not pulling off the bed and stuff to get to work on the motor. I really dont dog my 800 since the g/f is always riding with me.

 

I have had both for over a year. The 570 will go anywhere that the 800 will but it does it at a slightly slower speed. For general fast cruising the 800 will do so about 5 to 10 mph faster when both are loaded. On tight trails I think the 570 is actually better than the 800. The 570 is much easier to maintain. The 800 makes less noise when cruising just simply becasue it is turning about 1200 less rpm at any given speed.

 

I have read just about any and all reviews between the two. From what ive seen many guys with 800's seem to be unhappy and sometimes bashing because the 570 is so close in performance, all while being much cheaper. Just about every dealer I called is sitting on many 800's and when you ask about the 570 I get I should have some in the next 2-3 weeks? Why is that? Maybe its the price of being cheaper, about 1000-1300 dollars cheaper at my dealer. I have decided to get a 570 myself after a couple months of research. Ill use that money to get doors, roof, stereo, etc for the money I saved, but there has to be an replacement motor coming from ProStar to go into the S and leave the 50 market to the 570? I had a blast driving both the 800 and 570, I would love to have an S or an XP but the tight trails I ride locally in NC limit what side by sides I can get. I dont like the arguement well two cylinders dont have to work harder and are more reliable. By that same account a V6 Toyota Pickup is more reliable than a 4 cylinder one? I think not, a well designed motor and drive train can be just as reliable if not more. The 570 does a much better job of getting power to the ground. I am actually hoping for a 750 Pro Star with that same transmission, seems like a perfect combination to me, but one can dream

 

I have no regrets buying the 570! Although I do wish I had a 900 xp when out in the desert on the fast whooped out roads but otherwise I am quite happy with the performance of the 570.

 

What is the hp difference between the two? I thought I read somewhere that it was around 10hp?

 

It's 10 at the crank but only about 3 or so at the wheels due to the more efficient transmission in the 570.

 

I read somewhere in one of the magazines that the horsepower difference was 7. Just as important would be the torque specs, but that was not mentioned.
