WINNER: 2010 Can-Am Commander
The Commander can perform yard chores or ranch work in a way never believed possible with this incomparable Big-Gulp box. This SxS is fully utility-capable proven by its first-ever dual level, dual tailgate dumping cargo bed.
Turn the page and the Commander answers the call of every high performance SxS buyer with a fire-breathing 85-horse 1000cc V-twin or, in its tamer iteration, an 800R version.
High-tech engineering drips from the Commander in the form of a drive-by-wire, dual mode throttle while the best-ever safety net-seat belt combo keeps operators from moving at more than 5-mph if not fastened.
Whether you order up the 70-horsepower 800 or the 1000, this is one dual personality, versatile rocket of a SxS.
RUNNERS UP
Polaris Ranger 500 EFI
When Polaris upped power in the wildly successful mid-size Ranger 400 to full-on 500 EFI status we knew the company had created an enormous problem for itself. The problem? How to build enough Ranger 500s!
This latest up-powered version of the mini-Ranger is both quick and nimble, yet fully utility capable. WeÂ’re sure itÂ’ll find as much use on weekend family rides as it will at the hunt camp, cabin or job site.
Yamaha Rhino 700
The 700 Rhino is believed to be the best dune rocket by thousands. We think it’s legitimately dual purpose as a result of its great 4WD system, its smaller size and its torque-blessed 700cc single while offering a nice dump box and great towing capability.
Yamaha has been at the forefront of SxS safety and the current rendition of the Rhino is as safe as any side by side offered today.
