Before you drop serious cash, you have to ask yourself, “Is it worth it?” Whether “it” is a weeklong trip to Moab or a new machine, you know what you’re paying for and how much that money means to you.
But what about a game-changing upgrade like a GDP Portal Gear Lift? Do you really know just how transformative it can be? We can tell you all about the benefits of a gear reduction in the hub, how the ground clearance is generally better than a suspension lift of the same height, how you can use other suspension upgrades in tandem with portals, and how carefully we’ve made every single component. But you don’t have to take our word for it.
Tons of riders out there will tell you just how much they love their GDP Portals.
So are GDP portals worth it? Check out what these folks have to say. They paid cold, hard cash for their portals, so they have a stake in the game.
Below are some glowing reviews we gathered from real customers that highlight the best parts of owning GDP Portals. You can check out all our customer product reviews at SuperATV.com.
“Portals are very good quality, and the install was fairly easy, especially with the new hardware. And as always, the shipping was very fast.”
— Jordan S., Polaris RZR XP 1000 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Too clean”
“Portals arrived with ironclad packaging, so everything was in perfect condition. Instructions were great, but I would recommend a better-than-average understanding of automotive basics before tackling. Installed in 1.5 days, and they are working perfectly. Only problem I have is that they’re too clean. I’ll be sure to correct this oversight this weekend!”
— Darrel B., Polaris General XP 1000
“Best GDP lift”
“I love my 6” 45% Cast Portals. Easy installation (roughly 5 hours installation) with awesome instructions. Can’t ask for better parts or help.”
— AJ S., Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 6” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Instructions were pretty straightforward. Having an extra hand really helped install this. Without any knowledge, install time is probably a few hours, but well worth it.”
— Brian J., Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 6” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“5 star”
“Really good product, very simple install if you have basic mechanical skills.”
— Daelon, Honda Rubicon 4” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Bought these for both my boys—easy install. My 13-year-old put them on himself. We’re very happy with the SuperATV parts and the fast shipping. Thanks again!”
— Jade H., Kawasaki Brute Force 4” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“I have had the 6” and the 8” portals. Best upgrade for my RZR. SuperATV is always fast with shipping.”
— Shane O., Polaris RZR XP 1000 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Best on the Market”
“I have owned the other brand of portals and there is no comparison. GDP all the way. Fit and finish is perfect, installation is a breeze, and shipping is super fast—3-day delivery to Central Florida. Can’t beat it.”
— Levi, Can-Am Defender 8” Portal Gear Lift
“8” 60% portals”
“Shipping was very quick, came in 2 days after I ordered them. Was missing a brake line, called them and got it the next day. Customer service is outstanding.”
— Dawson B., Can-Am Maverick X3 8” Portal Gear Lift
“These are a GAME CHANGER!”
“We have beat on these boxes since they first came out in 2022. They don’t blink. Not so much as a hiccup. They have helped us pick up $18,500 in prize money over this race season in 2023 on ‘Gladiator,’ our race-prepped, high-flying RZR Pro XP. Thank you guys for the amazing products!!!!”
— Triage O., Polaris RZR Pro XP
“Awesome!”
“Portals work great. Gave me the perfect lift I needed to run bigger tires.”
— Jacob G., Honda Pioneer 700 6” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Absolutely the BEST”
“I have the GEN 3 Portals on my RZR and Ranger. I never need 4WD as the gear reduction is incredibly powerful. Really well made.”
— David L., Polaris Ranger XD 1500 4” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Yes sir…”
“Great product, went with the 45%. I’m running 37s on 20s, and running in high is perfect still for riding dirt roads. Can’t wait to take it in the mud. Thanks SuperATV for putting in the R&D and for making awesome products!! A++ If you were on the fence, don’t be—totally different machine now👌”
— Nick R., CFMOTO UForce 1000 6” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“4” lift 30% gear reduction after 300 miles”
“We mostly trail ride & hill climb in northern Michigan. Put the kit on last week and came up for the holiday. UForce 1000 XL with 32” tires. The large tires eat up the bumps compared to stock 27” tires. 30% reduction makes it climb like a goat & still comfortable at 50+ mph. Couldn’t be happier. Gave 4 stars due to issues with the new brake lines leaking out of the box.”
— Jeff F., CFMOTO UForce 1000 4” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Perfect upgrade”
“Great fit on the 520. Combined with the SuperATV front control arms allowed a 32×10 tire, no scrub. Absolutely love them.”
— Chris Y., Honda Pioneer 520 4” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“Parts are amazing and always fit great. Amazing fit and finish. I did the 6” lift in addition to the 8” portals. Also did their doors, roof, skid plate, and axles. Love their parts.”
— Kirby A., CFMOTO UForce 1000 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“I purchased 8” portals for our Ranger XP 900. They are great. We really like them a lot. SuperATV is the best out there—go visit them. Appreciate the great staff and parts—answered all my many questions.”
— Derek T., Polaris Ranger XP 900 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift
“2023 Defender limited portals”
“This is about my 8th set. I won’t own a buggy without them now.”
— Ricky S., Can-Am Defender 8” Portal Gear Lift
“Awesome GDP 6” Gear Lift”
“Best portals and lift in one from the best company themselves. Had mine for roughly 2 months now, doing amazing, and I’m maintaining maintenance as needed with their Portal Blood oil. Love their products.”
— Adam S., Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 6” GDP Portal Gear Lift
