So I'm really trying to find out what the actual width of the pro r is front and rear when it's sitting on the ground with the suspension scrubbed out. Polaris says 74" but I don't believe that since every machine I have bought from polaris is wider than advertised with it on the ground ready to ride. For example my stock turbo s was almost 74.5 wide in comfort and 74 in sport. My rs1 was 65.5 at ride height. So my question is who here has one that cold take a measurement with it on the ground settled in comfort? I'm trying to find out if my trailer is wide enough for my turbo r 4 ultimate that is on order. My turbo s is 76" wide now in comfort with aftermarket wheels and tires and it barely fits on my 77" wide small trailer.

Me and a lot of folks that don't want to buy a new trailer and those that don't just ride the wide open dunes but want the new machine. As I said several months ago I would have preferred the 72" of the Can Am which actually measures 72".

You can't ride a tight trail with a wide machine so it must be made for wide open spaces like the dunes, . Maybe that's why Polaris calls them the "Wide Open" models???Has nothing to do with riding "wide open dunes"

Hmmm... at 85"+ on my current machine I never have any issues on the trails. If 2" makes a difference between you getting down a trail or not you probably shouldn't be on that trail
For the 100th time - the advertised width is at the advertised ride height and tire pressure
BTW a 72" X3 is wider than 72"

That is the one I measured (literally), no idea if it was set to ride height. Mine should arrive in the next day or two, I will verify ride height and total width.
And I'm not worried about width at all. 95% of my riding is in Colorado and Utah on old mining/timber/jeep roads. Taylor Park, Moab, Silverton, Lake city, Crested Butte, and a million places in between. Width isn't really a big deal here. For the most part, if it's limited width, it's single track. And that's what the KTM is for.

It depends where I ride at. If I take the Turbo R to Colorado or Moab then no issues, ride it in Texas and my stepdaughter's 72" Can Am couldn't make some of the trails. I do have a General that stays in CO but it doesn't ride as good on the rocky trails as my current XPT and sure won't ride as good as the Turbo R

Still waiting on a measurement of a Pro R or Turbo R that shows 74". If true that gives more room on a 78" trailer for loading. You don't want to accidentally hit the aluminum fenders on my Alumna trailer- ask me how I know. LOL

My stepdaughters and my friends Can Am's are what got me interested in a long travel SxS in the first place. When we ride the same trails there are lots of times that they can do an obstacle way easier than me. A couple of times on some tight trails I have had to get the chainsaw out for the wider Can Am's (my XPT is 68")
What I don't like about the Can Am's is- I can't see good out of them, the cockpit is fairly plain, it's hard to shift gears sometime and the bolted in seats is a stupid design. On top of that I own three Polaris SxS's and know how to work on them.
I have been researching the Pro XP and Turbo S for months trying to decide between the two. When the Turbo R came out it sounded right for me. Most of the components should be heavy enough from the factory that I don't have to do any upgrades with the exception of probably the skidplate..

I don't care the width per say when riding i was more worried about it fitting on a standard 7' single axle trailer. Most 7' trailers have 77 to 78" between the rails. I would think if its 76 it will fit no problem. My turbo s now is 76.5" wide with my tires and wheels and it fits on my small aluminum single axle just perfect. As for 76" being too wide i think people are crazy when they say that. Every place i have ridden (Arizona, Utah, WV, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Florida) i had zero issues and could have been even wider. If you ride your own property or are in a width restricted state then yeah it wont work. But 75 percent of the places you can ride you will have zero issues with even a 80" car. I personally live in north east ohio and u cannot use a utv over 50" anywhere in this state. But for me i hate ohio and ride outa state if i want to ride anyways. I have my sport quads for the tight stuff or width restricted areas.

The advantage of Dynamix is you can put it in rock mode and drive it a bit and it will rise in height and get narrower. The money you spend on the Ultimate package can go there instead of a new trailer

I have a turbo r 4 ultimate on order. Definitely will never own another car that doesn't have the dynamix system. All the people that don't think they need it or it's a waste of money clearly haven't owned a dynamix car. I load my turbo s in firm. Gets me to 75". In comfort I'm more like 77"
