Moab, Utah is home to Rally on the Rocks, one of the biggest UTV events in the country, and all the big name companies like Polaris, Arctic Cat, Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc…. were there showing off their latest line up of side by sides. We caught up with a company you may recognize, but is new to the UTV scene, Cub Cadet. These guys were very excited to show us around and they showcased their heavy duty Volunteer along with the main attraction, the two recently released Challenger Series UTVs.

More than a display, three Cub Cadet UTVs were brought just for event participation so we got to see the new Challenger 500 and Challenger 700 first hand exceeding its expectations, revealing its performance and versatility. Another thing you’ll notice on these side by sides are the sweet features. The Challenger Series has one of the best standard equipment packages in the industry, take a look at what features come equipped on these new rides.

• Hard-top roof
• Quick-release windshield
• Alloy wheels
• Front-mount winch
• Large profile 26”off-road tires
• Digital display

“With this new series, we’re expanding our line of purpose-built utility vehicles to meet the challenges UTV owners love to take on.  The value of the new Challenger Series, with expansive standard features, excellent dealer support and overall performance is a powerful combination that’s tough to beat when it comes to utility vehicles.”

-Jeff Salamon, UTV brand marketing, Cub Cadet.

Along with a 1200-pound towing capacity, both Challenger Series units, the Challenger 500 (EFI) and the Challenger 700 (EFI), are available in yellow and camouflage and features on-demand four-wheel drive, high-strength components and the power needed to take on the variety of terrain and tough challenges you may face on the trails. Joining the heavy-duty Volunteer, Cub Cadet’s nationwide dealer network recently made the two-passenger Challenger Series available May of 2015 and, this summer, plan to release a larger crew vehicle with seating for four.

Ready to take on the toughest challenges, committed to quality and strength, these performance features are standard with all Cub Cadet UTVs:
