Hi All,

I'm new to powersports and was looking to buy a UTV, but I'm surprised that there aren't many stick shift models. The only ones I was able to find where the Joyner buggy, and yamaha yxz1000r. Are there any others? 

Thanks!

They would cost more to make (this is a very competitive cost driven industry) and there is little to no demand. Personally I think the CVT is better suited to off-road use.

The Mahindra Roxor with a diesel engine uses a 5-speed tranny/clutch arrangement.  They are also looking at a 6-speed automatic.   I think manufacturers favor the CVT because they are easier to drive.  You only have to select between High (most driving), Low, Neutral, Reverse and Park.  Driving a manual transmistion requries the driver to take a more active role in managing engine power and torque at the rear axle.  On uphill climbs, upshifting against the pull of gravity isnt' easy to maintain forward movement.  Mine has a 5-speed and I like it.  But it's for me.

The reason I would want a manual is just because I enjoy driving them more. Thanks guys!

I understand, I owned nothing but manual transmission vehicles for 45+ years--a stroke in late 2011 changed that--got my first auto, a 2012 Infinity M37; still have it, best car I have ever owned...

      Massimo T-Boss 560 or CFMoto Uforce 600
      By barticus73
      I am looking to buy a small UTV to do work around my property and priced a brand new Massimo T-Boss 560 through Lowes @ $10,500 out the door or a  Dealer provided CFMOTO Uforce 600 at $11,500 out the door.    Are there any glaring reasons to go with the Uforce 600 at an extra $1000?  Is one model more reliable than the other?  Any input greatly appreciated.
       
      Thank you,

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.
