Trying to see a Wildcat in person and try it out

In my quest to make the leap from atv (Grizzly 700) to SXS as I am getting older now (I am well past 50). Looking to continue to enjoy off road riding. I have narrowed my possible choices to the XX and the YXZ. I have decades of powersports experience but zero direct experience with SXSs. Many friends with them. I am located in Raleigh, NC and cannot find any dealers within 100 miles with any XX units in stock. Tried to connect with Arctic Cat directly with no success. I would gladly travel to a destination to demo an XX on an actual trail as its a major investment for me. I have found renting for a day or doing a demo at an event on a trail has helped me solidify my decisions on ATVs and motorcycles I have been looking at in the past. Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated. My wife and I primarily ride in NC, WV, VA, TN, KY but are interested in checking out other destinations as well.

You may have better luck looking for a used one and driving it around the parking lot. The Hatfield ride wood be a good place to try like NDHotbodies said. If you don't have a 23 pre-ordered yet it may be very hard to find one when they start building them.
I appreciate the info. I located a dealer in Georgetown KY, MLS Powersports. 8hrs+ from me but looks like they do a lot of Arctic Cat sales. Anyone have any first hand experience with them?

Look up cannon ball run, mischief 3000 they drive from New York to California there was a record 43 hours non-stop driving in a Ferrari. When covid hit records were broken due to next to zero traffic.
