Honda's South Carolina Manufacturing Plant (SCM) hit a milestone on Wednesday, August 6th when it rolled its 500,000th side-by-side off of the production line. The plant has been in operation since 1998, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.

The heat is on in the desert, with teams like Can-Am and Polaris' RZR Factory Racing putting the best they can muster, and underdog Segway is getting in on the action. The brand is bringing its Super Villain SX20T to the Best in the Desert race to see what it can do.

UTV Source says that they created National UTV Day to be an "annual observance is dedicated to the people, the machines, and the lifestyle that unite us—whether you ride for adventure, work, or a little bit of both." UTVs get a ton of use across the board, from farms to job sites and every work application in-between, and (more to our interest) on the trails, dunes, in the mud, and so on. The side-by-side vehicle as we know it has been around since Polaris' immensely popular RZR helped change the game, and the way it's headed we're in for an enormous amount of exciting movement going forward.

Believe it or not, Polaris has been selling All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) for four decades already, and to commemorate the brand's ruby anniversary it's churning out some special editions of its popular four-wheelers. Somehow 1985 was 40 years ago already, and given how long quads as we know them have actually been around, it's a pretty significant accomplishment.

The 2017 Can-Am Maverick X3 on Marketplace for under $10K wasn’t offering showroom polish—but who cares? The bones were solid, the potential was real, and there was a vision: transform it into the ultimate weekend weapon. Watch the full episode here and be sure to check out my YouTube page.

The high-performance side-by-side wars are in full swing and the latest punch has come from Kawasaki in the form of the Teryx H2 line. With 250 horsepower thanks to a supercharged 999cc inline four-cylinder engine and loads of tech and suspension to match, there's a lot to take in with this mad machine. Let's take a closer look.

Vegas to Reno Best In The Desert is a huge event for side-by-side racing. Can-Am is whipping up a team of drivers and UTVs that could potentially put them on the top step (and all steps) of the podium. To get there, they will have to get through over 500 miles of Western Nevada desert.

ATVs and side-by-sides (SxS) are great tools for enjoying your off-road recreation and are pretty handy for working, playing, and other tasks. They also represent a significant investment and that usually means financing is involved. It is part of life these days that we have to make payments for most major purchases, but is getting a loan on an ATV or SxS the same as financing a car, truck or other form of transportation? The simple answer is both yes and no. If you are wondering, “How do I finance an ATV or SxS,” let’s walk through the process. Trust us; it’s not that bad.

When it comes to off-road destinations, some places just do it better than most. Windrock Park in Tennessee is one place you just don’t want to miss.

Many in the ATV and UTV world will recognize Evans' brand's work as the standard suspension on many high-performance Polaris ATVs and UTVs over the years. We can confirm that the shocks on the big, bad Scrambler XP 1000 S are top-notch and perhaps the best of the best. Though Evans might not have done the development himself, his legacy lives on through the brand and the UTV parts department of the company that was his own doing. Polaris later went on to purchase Walker Evans Enterprises, solidifying it as a partner in many class-leading OHVs.

Partnerships help make brands what they are, and recently American Honda has signed on for a three-year collaboration with the South Carolina Waterfowl Association (SCWA), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving wildlife heritage through conservation work and outdoor education. Under the agreement, Honda becomes the Official ATV/Side-by-Side of SCWA—a title that reflects a shared focus on safety, environmental stewardship, and inspiring the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.

I picked up a non-running Yamaha Blaster 200 for $1,000 with one goal: rebuild it in 90 days for a midsize ATV competition. The machine was complete but rough—missing bolts, worn seat foam, a generic carburetor, and a questionable spark plug. Still, it had good compression and a decent FMF Powercore 2 pipe.

I’ve had my Kawasaki Teryx side-by-side for three years now, and with just over 2,200 miles on the odometer, I’ve had enough time and experience to form a well-rounded opinion. Watch my full review here on Kings County Adventures.

We all like to know how quick our ATVs or Side-by-Sides (SxS) are, and how fast we can accelerate, but slowing the machine down is more important. For this task, we all need to be very aware of our braking systems. Modern ATVs and SxS vehicles all come with disc brakes, and taking care of our braking systems is vitally important. Most of the time, the biggest maintenance thing to care for with disc brakes is knowing how and when to replace your brake pads. Don’t worry too much about this, as it is a relatively easy task, and one you likely won’t have to do that often.

Chust announced the Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X Nürburgring times. If you're reading this I probably don't have to explain the significance of 'Ring times to you, but for the uninitiated, automakers have fled to Germany's Nürburgring Nordschleife for decades now to prove their mettle when it comes to how fast their latest hot-shot creation is. The lap times has served as a benchmark for how fast a car is, and that time is used as one of the end-all-be-all bragging right statistics. The launch of Kawasaki's Teryx4 H2 and Teryx5 H2 has me wondering: Should there be a Nürburgring Nordschleife for high-performance side-by-sides?
