Can’t wait for the can am 700 vs kingquad 750

[hammerpounder]

A difference of $1100 is significant, until you look at the duration of your ownership. I own 2 Yamahas, they are both 20 years old, I changed the belt on each one...once, and they were both well beyond 10 years old when I did that too. How much does a Canam belt cost? Most guys I know that are riding Canams bring 1 if not 2 spare belts with them on a ride. Also factor in that I dont go on a single ride without having to leave a Canam on the trail somewhere then go back and tow it out...That $1100 difference is now chump change. Especially if you are going to own a machine for a long time. All your points were great, but long term payback and reliability is simply the single biggest factor when spending money.

If I was rich. I swear I'd own every kind of machine. Never seen one I didn't like

[chrislobb]

I’m thrilled just to see some research and development going into ATV’s.

[KLXRMIKE]

Would have been nice to compare diff lock, engine breaking, and single lever vs independent front/rear breaking between the two. All are very important features with my style of riding and hardly ever get mentioned in most machine shoot-outs

[DirtObseXXion]

Awesome stuff boys! I share Mike's Grizzly bias but CanAm really came through for us fans of the handle bars! Interesting finds and great points about the well established Grizzly and the new kid on the 700ish block!

[Maritimer]

Hey ! Great video as always DT ! As a Grizzly Rider and lover of the ATV (I've owned two) I think you guys summed this up perfectly, you get a whole lot more in that HD7 than you do with the Grizzly, saying that its a New Model VS a Grizzly that's been basically the same sense 2008 (lets me honest, even 2016 wasn't much change) All we can hope for now is Can Am takes some sales from Yamaha which causes them to re-do the Grizzly and make it better.... competitions is good for everyone.
I love the front storage on the HD7 and the USB ports in the storage box is a great idea (I could charge my camera/drone batteries) I thought the 26" wheels looked a bit small though, but like you said - tires are usually the first thing people change (me included)
I'm hoping Yamaha changes the Grizzly to a Twin maybe 900-1000 and is competition for Outlander 1000 and them possibly re-do the Kodiak 700 to compete more with the HD7. Also I wish they still made the 450 class, those were a super reliable machine.
Thanks for all the videos ! and if yahs ever come to New Brunswick, I'd love to take ya around.

Probably the best video on YouTube comparing two atv! Great job 👍🇨🇦!

[CanadianAtLarge]

Personally I’m a griz guy I like the big front tires im a guy that’s split with mud ridding, river crossing, rock climbs and rough terrain all to get to hard to access lakes for fishing. I barely open up the atv over 70km/h and the tires only start to suck after 60km/h if I wanted a trail racer I’d get a renegade for 4x4 or a raptor for clean trails, I find the griz a all around atv and perfect for me I like the handling on the griz always fun doing a little slide on a long wide corner.

Great video guys. I own a 2016 Yamaha grizzly 700 that had the snake bitten Subaru engine. Dealer did a nice job with the recall notice. 8000 miles, 1100 hours and still going strong. Curious to see how the HD7 pro holds up after several years. The grizz has such a plush feel, handles amazing, and feels like there's always extra power available when you need it. The 700 class is really a sweet spot in my opinion in terms of weight, nimbleness, and power. I ride solo in some pretty desolate places so reliability is a must. I bring a bunch of tools and survival gear but thankfully never had to use them with my grizz. If you want true reliability, the Honda Foreman is great but it's only 520 cc and doesn't quite have the plushness and ergonomics of the grizz. Would love to see how the hd7 reliability is in 2 years. If so, i may consider switching. Thanks for the great video

[sammyclarke]

The grizzly looks way better and ill take that yamaha reliability all day everyday! Great videos guys!

[wheelliving]

Excellent review. If I lived way up north in Canada or Alaska and hunted 20 miles from the nearest road I may go with the Yamaha, but for someone like me who just rides state trails the Can Am is definitely the right machine. I just bought my second Can Am and I had the first one for 5 years and never had a lick of trouble with it. Actually a buddy bought it from me

[garybrown]

Problem with reviews of any new machine is how is it going to run 5000 km from now. Frankly I wouldn’t buy a first year anything. That being said I hope this Can Am turns out to be a great machine. Force Yamaha to upgrade at least a little. Meanwhile I’ll keep my 21 Grizzly SE for at least another year.

[off-roadnpew]

Swapped for a rubi to an
Xmr700. I’ve had dozens of different atvs. But it’s by far my favorite atv made

[paulgarcia]

I wish sxs where never invented. In the south the atvs are age depending 30 and under for the most part you’ll be ok and it’ll be age appropriate. Over 30 get a sxs or you’ll be hearing from your buddies…”when you gonna get a sxs like the rest of us” 😢

[randyphillips]

Good evaluation! The Zilla's rule in this area of bush & mud, no complaints about them from me! Also if you guys slowed down & rode like 90% population that buy these machines you would see how that softer stabilizer bar gives more traction & less 3 wheel action on uneven tight trails, there's always a compromise I sometimes feel you guys don't address.

[liveisascopeadventures]

I have the Canam the hunting edition over 2000km on it loving it

[Dusdaddy]

I bought the Hunting Edition this summer and I already own a Grizz. I looked at the Grizz EPS Camo but it retails at $12.5K. My Can-Am was $10.9K with all the extra features.Better value on the Can-Am. Overall I agree with everything except fit & finish. It's terrible on my Can-Am, and others have the same issues. Hopefully that gets fixed for next year. Power is much greater than the Grizz. The HD7 leaps forward when in Sport mode. For such a heavy machine, 900+, it handles better than the Grizz as well.
Complaints?
Winch is too low and too far back
The front box is great but I wish it had one latch, vice two. Trying to open it while holding something in your hand you want to put in it is difficult.
The "glove" box is tiny and they don't even give you the magnet to attach to your phone that will hold it there.
Fit & finish: Panels have big gaps, bumper was received bent, and decals are adhered in the wrong location.
Easy panel removal for maintenance becomes difficult with skid plates

[jonnygodbout]

What about the kingquad 750 ? Id like to see a comparison must be more close to that canam when we talk about power and reliability great video as always and thanks for all thoses reviews love it

[jonnyretro]

Great to see Can Am continuing to push the atv market forward. I can’t help but think the Yamaha is gonna be a lot more reliable though. What is the Can Am gonna be worth in 5 years compared to the Grizzly?
