Over the years I have had a couple friends of friends have the air systems in their side by sides, but I thought, while it would be a nice to have. Never did I expect it to be so radical of a change. We just finished several days with friends in Winnemucca, NV. It was warm during the day and cold at night. There were 5 vehicles (3 turbo RZRs, our General, and one large enduro motorcyle. We had several long rides, leaving morning, coming back at night (carry lots of extra fuel). Two of us had PCI radios/intercom systems, the others had rugged. I can tell you for sure, the PCI radios were clearer and traveled further. I am not saying Rugged is not good, just the facts that our setup on the 2023 General transmitted further/clearer, there were a couple times I relayed for the Rugged. Maybe PCI tuned my antenna better or just better? My wife and I/ were the only ones with the race air. After a couple days, and more than 250 miles of long extremely dusty Nevada I can tell you without out a doubt, I will never own a system without. We have a windshield on our 2023 General and heater. The heater was extremely nice coming back with nights in the 40s, with bright Rigid lights at 55-65 mph. Everyone look trashed and we were all tired, but my wife and I had clean faces, no dirt plugs in the nose. While the rest of us from below the neck down looked like everyone else (dirt/dust), including our rig. The inside of the PCI helmets and were truly clean air. At the end of this trip, each of the friends asked what I thought about the fresh air system. Game changer. I have been riding dirt bikes, and driving rails, and UTVs for more than 40 years including all over baja. I think the fresh air system is such a game changer, I wish I had purchased it for my last General. I think if you ride in Tahoe Dust, Nevada dust and hell even the Dunes on Oregon, or anywhere in Baja, for simply the health of not sucking in all that dust it would be worth it. This is my opinion. Just wanted you to know what my friends were asking after this Nevada trip. I normally do not review equipment. Just thought this made such a difference. My wife loves the air system as well......
