“They are such a great machine and so under rated. My very first utv was the Kymco UXV 450. As time has went I’ve been in a can am defender max Hd7 for the last three years. Awesome ride that has served my family well. But now our boys are older and have their own atvs. So I am down sizing. The seating capacity of the defender max is no longer needed. I am picking up a 23’ Kymco UXV 450i base in tan on Saturday. Added the super atv flip up windshield. Has a roof already. Will add a winch later. I’m so glad Kymco added the half doors as standard on their UXVs. After my first UXV 450 I got rid of it for a Honda pioneer 500. Good little machine as well. And was gonna go for the Honda pioneer 520 this time. But when you compare the two the Kymco wins in so many categories. Better suspension travel as it’s 56” wide vs 50” pioneer 500/520. More horsepower 33 vs 29. More top end speed 48-50 mph vs 38-40 mph. Front diff lock on the Kymco no diff lock on the Honda. Lots of storage on the Kymco none at all in factory form on the Honda. 2” receiver vs 1” 1/4 on the Honda. More towing capacity. 25” tires vs 24” tires on the Honda. Tilt steering on the Kymco fixed wheel on the Honda. Power steering option on the Kymco not factory available on the Honda. Although the units out there in this class steer very easy anyway. And so forth. CVT vs Honda gears, I do really like the option to paddle shift on the Honda. But Kymco has a great cvt, read some where they build the cvts for Yamaha. Not sure if that’s true but would not surprise me as they build something for just about every brand out there. Not China but Taiwan. And the best part of this is I picked mine up for 6999 plus tax and some small fees. It was a no brainer man.”
