The Big Bad.

The Segway Villain sits in its own little corner of the market. It’s no where near the fastest rig out there, nor the flashiest. What it is, though, is a great deal that makes for a killer first sport rig. If you don’t care about being outclassed on the trail more often than not, that is.

It’s a deal, sure, but details like suspension, tires, and engine keep it from impressing us. In-house shocks are an anomaly on any mainstream sport side-by-side, and if Segway wants to be an actual player in today’s market, the company needs to kick it up a notch.

How much power does it make?

The 2025 Segway Villain makes 105 hp out of a 1000cc parallel-twin. That power makes its way through a CVT before getting to the wheels. Sure, 105 is less than impressive. But look at the Honda Talon and Kawasaki KRX, both of which sit around that number. We’d like more, but 105 is plenty for a sub-2,000-lb side-by-side.

What makes it special?

The Segway Villain is about as bare-bones as you can get. You get a winch and a center screen, and that’s about it. No special suspension, overwhelming power, or fancy bells and whistles to draw you in. Although that does mean that Segway can keep prices low for the Villain. The Villain SX10 WP, the most expensive trim, lists at $19,999. Try to find a 72-inch sport side-by-side for that price anywhere else, I dare you.

Why do I want it?

New to side-by-sides and want to stand out on the trail? The Villain is your girl. A modest 105 hp means that you won’t get yourself into too much trouble, allowing you to learn off-road driving at a decent pace.

And you don’t see a Segway on the trail too often. Can-Am and Polaris side-by-sides are a dime a dozen, but you’ll definitely strike up a few conversations in the parking lot if you roll up with a Segway.

Why don’t I want it?

The Villain isn’t flashy and isn’t super powerful. So if you need that adrenaline rush of 200 hp in the wide-open desert, look elsewhere. It also lacks aftermarket support, meaning just about the only mods you’ll find for it will come straight from Segway.

What trim do I want?

While we’d love to recommend the cheapest trim, the $16,499 SX10 S, it’s hard to look past the 72-inch-wide SX10 WP. Along with the extra width, you get a winch, beadlock wheels, and the huge center touchscreen. With an MSRP of $19,999, four grand extra might be a bit steep. But we think it’s worth it just for the width alone.

If I like this… what else should I look at?

Other low-power, beginner side-by-sides to look at include the Honda Talon, Polaris RZR XP, and Kawasaki KRX. If you’re looking for a few more ponies, check out the Can-Am X3 or the Polaris RZR Pro series. And if you want other options that will make you stand out, the CFMoto ZForce series deserves a look.
