What's the deal?

rzreater · 01-22-2012, 09:01 AM

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that the Polaris rzr has millions of aftermarket parts and the commanders don't? It's kind getting to me. Has anyone found someone to make cams for these? Are they just to new of a machine? Does the ECU really restrict it that much?

I am also a new owner of a Commander. I am going to say the fact that the commander is new to market and also the market share. It needs to worth a manufactures time to make any accesories.They want volumne of items moved after making it. Walmart mentality is small profit on many units sold, Rzr has been out and also many units sold so more after market items bought . More will and is coming I see for Commanders. JMO

Easy math, Polaris probably sells 50 RZR's for every Commander if not more.

Yep Supply and demand drives all manufacturing. R&D, tooling, setup etc is an expensive undertaking, so they look for the best volume return for it. The Commander will have it's turn when enough of them are out there.

We need better ball joints better tie rod ends better a-ARM bushings to start with.
Thanks if anyone sees this.

The commander has only been out for 2 years. The rzr has been out for around 8 years or so.

I have spent too much $ already, maybe more will be out when that has changed.
