vibration and noise??

[jw_334]

How does the uxv line of side by sides compare to other brands as far as cab noise and vibration? I know that the Polaris ranger is touted as being very quiet and vibration free. Anybody have any comparative information?

Thanks

Good question.  I have nothing to compare it too.  The best I can say is that I have received comments from others on the trail that it sounded pretty quiet.

Reviving an old question in hopes of more information.

    When I bought my 450i in Jan of 2015 it had less rattle and vibration than any of the Hisun or other Chinese machines. Test drove a Polaris ranger and it was about the same but the construction of the ranger turned me off as being rather cheap and not well put together, welds were terrible. Most of the other side x side machines were to big for my liking, I was looking for a smaller machine.

Thanks airshot. I find myself leaning toward the Kymco. But i still also find myself being wary of anything but the name brand machines. Altho the reviews i have read on Kymco leave me feeling pretty good about their machines.

can say that I have experienced any vibration. It could be a little quieter, both exhaust, and intake honk

When I bought my machine (jan 2016) there was an article published in one of the atv/utv magazines according to some recent surveys etc etc...that the Kymco brand had the fewest customer complaints per 100 units produced of any major brand and also scored highest on customer service based on customer survey's.......for what that might be worth.  I do know there dealers have been much more consumer friendly!!!  My dealer allowed a complete test ride on a track with hills, mud, fast straights etc. Had no problem giving it a thorough test!! No other dealer within 100 miles did any such thing.

They all have vibration and noise !  Some just worse than others, I could see where the full enclosure woud amplify the noise, just having a full windshield vs a half creates more cab noise. Just the nature of the beast I guess

yesterday, I was trying to pay attention to the noise, and determined most of the noise is tire noise, on the road at least, of course, most of that goes away at lower speeds off road.

just ordered a set of street tires, hopefully a lot of my noise will go away

     Yes tires make a lot of noise on pavement, and so does the engine make some noise coming up where the seat back meets the seat bottom. Very little if any sound deadening in there. Often thought of adding some extra there but I guess it is not that bad.  I have road other machines that are much louder, much louder!

I had a vibration I couldn't get rid of for the life of me, not saying that made it a bad machine though.  Quality is quite high, the only thing I thought needed work was how scabby and small the frame welds look.

On my machine the welds are continuous all the way around and look better than any other machine I looked at.  That was one of the things that impressed me about their build quality.
