Will your tumbler clear the console? A sticky note settles it before you load up ↓

Left to right: the wide, low base empty, then holding a cup, a can, and a large tumbler.
One base, console to tailgate. Empty, then a can, a colster, and a 40 oz tumbler — the same base, wherever it lands on the rig.

The setup

The factory holder came with the machine. Riders still bring their own fix.

None of it is a breakdown — it's routine. A colster here, a strap there, a frozen bottle wedged in the console: solving the drink is just part of loading up for a ride, and it's been that way long enough that nobody stops to ask why the factory holder still can't do the job.

The console pocket.

Molded shallow and sized around a 12 oz can, and on sport models it sits on the tunnel directly above the driveline and coolant lines. Riders ask Facebook groups how to fit a 40 oz tumbler in it, and a whole aftermarket of deeper replacement holders exists because the factory one can't.

The first whoop section.

Stock holders get compared to a motorcycle ashtray on RZR forums — technically present, practically useless. One rider's line has become the standing joke: you wear an open can before you land the first whoop.

The cargo bed.

Ribbed plastic built to keep a cooler from sliding, not to hold a drink upright. Anything loose migrates corner to corner and launches on a hard hit — one owner described watching parts fly straight out of a bed cup holder on a rough day.

The clamp you already bought.

The cage looks like the obvious mounting spot, so the aftermarket sells clamps sized to a 1.75-to-2-inch tube. Vibration is the clamp's known weakness — sellers tell owners to check the fitting on a schedule, and the standard failure story is the whole holder spinning loose around the bar after one hard hit.

Staging, before the trail even starts.

Tailgate down, machines coming off the trailer, tire gauges out — and the coffee has nowhere to go but a corrugated tailgate or a curved fender, both built to shed things, not hold them.

None of it stops the ride. It's just the same small fix, repacked every trip — and at some point you stop noticing you're doing it at all.

It's happened to you

A normal ride day, told through the drink.

Ten minutes in, first whoop section

The can riding loose in the console pocket lands on your shirt instead of in your hand — the standing joke on RZR forums is that you wear the drink before you land the whoop.

7 a.m., staging area

Machines are still coming off the trailer, tie-downs and tire gauges everywhere, and the coffee is balanced on the tailgate ribs because nothing else nearby is close to flat.

Third machine back, in the dust

Deep enough in the group's dust file that anything open grows a film before the next regroup — the reason can-topper lids get sold at every mud park.

The overlook pull-off, lunch

The cooler comes out of the bed and its lid becomes the table, machines parked nose-up on the grade, and every bottle set on a seat starts creeping downhill on its own.

Two hours in, reaching for the water

It went in cold at the trailhead and comes out warm — the console holder sits right over the tunnel, and the tunnel's been running the whole ride.

The fit list

The bottom inch decides what rides along.

One line covers every verdict below: a base 2 to 3 inches across settles in — everything on this list follows from that, not from the badge on the cup.

  • 40 oz Stanley-style straw-lid tumbler fits
  • 30 oz Yeti Rambler-style tumbler fits
  • Stainless can colster fits
  • Open 12 oz can fits
  • Frozen water bottle fits
  • Screw-lid travel bottle (Contigo-style) fits
  • 12 oz sports-drink bottle fits
  • Tervis-style insulated tumbler fits
  • Camp mug, handled handle in the way
  • Espresso cup too narrow

There's a floor here too, not just a ceiling — under 2 inches, a base rattles instead of settling. The handled camp mug is the honest exception on this list: the base would fit fine, but there's nowhere for the handle to go once the fins are gripping it.

Quick check

One sticky note rides in the door bag.

your cup's base
lands in here

A square sticky note: 3 inches, exactly — the ceiling for what clears the console.

01
Find a sticky note.

The standard square is exactly 3 inches on a side — a fact about sticky notes, not about the base, and it lands right at the widest a container can be and still settle in.

02
Stand your colster on it — at the tailgate, not the trail.

Set the colster, the Rambler, or the Stanley on the note before it ever gets near the console. Look at the bottom, not the rim — tumblers taper and colsters flare, and the base is the only measurement that matters.

03
Read the note.

Base sits inside the square? It fits. Hangs over the edge? Too wide. A tiny puck lost in the middle — under 2 inches? Too narrow for a steady grip.

No tube chart, no spec sheet, no guessing at the trailhead — just one sticky note and the cup that's actually riding along today.

Strap-on fabric roll-bar pouches, the top result for 'UTV cup holder'

The same pouch gets sold, in the same listing, for wheelchairs, walkers, and golf carts. It holds a capped bottle up to about 32 oz, reviewers report play in the strap, and an open cup or straw-lid tumbler just rides tilted in the fabric — with nothing for the bed, the tailgate, or camp.

Clamp-on holders for the cage

Sized to one tube diameter, so most fit only certain models, and they mount the drink at chest height where every hit splashes it upward. Vibration is their known weak point — sellers tell owners to retighten on a schedule, and the classic failure is the whole holder spinning loose around the bar after a hard hit.

Gimbal-style self-leveling holders

They answer tilt, not bounce — the cup still slides on stutter bumps, just from a pivot instead of a fixed cup. Guides note they're bulkier and pricier than a fixed holder, and they still need a mounting point on the tube or the dash.

Cup-holder expanders built for a car console

Made to enlarge a deep car cup holder, they have almost nothing to grip inside a shallow UTV pocket, and they raise the drink's center of gravity right where a whoop is about to test it.

Model-specific replacement console holders, plus the DIY canon — spray foam, frozen bottles, a colster in the stock pocket

The deeper 3D-printed replacements fit one model in one spot and still sit over the hot tunnel. Each DIY fix patches one symptom at a time: foam handles heat but not bounce, a frozen bottle handles temperature but still rattles loose, a colster handles warm beer but not the missing place to set it down.

From console to tailgate

Every place you'd set a drink down has its own way of losing it.

The reason a drink doesn't make it through a ride isn't carelessness — every surface on a UTV is moving, ribbed, tilted, domed, or hot, usually more than one at a time.

The console pocket

Molded shallow around a 12 oz can, and on most sport models it sits directly above the driveline and coolant lines — a drink that went in cold doesn't stay that way for long.

The dash shelf

Flat-looking, but the angle isn't fixed — it tips with every climb, descent, and side-hill, and the permanent dust film wipes out whatever grip a bare cup might have had.

The cargo bed

Corrugated plastic built to keep a cooler from sliding, not to hold a drink upright — the ribs give a round bottom nothing to rest flat on, and it takes the hardest hits on the machine.

The cooler lid

Domed and slick with its own condensation by midday, and it's doing double duty as the lunch table on whatever grade the machine happens to be parked on.

The tailgate at staging

Corrugated steel, set at an angle the moment the ramp drops, with gear sliding across it the whole time machines are loading and unloading.

The camp chair arm

Mesh cup pockets sag under anything taller than a can, and the trailer fender beside the chair is a curved sheet of metal — a drink set there is balanced, not held.

Why drinks tip over in a side-by-side — and what actually keeps one steady through the whoops — the full story →

How it works

Built for a rig that never sits still.

The weight rides low and wide.

A ribbed bed, a domed cooler lid, a tilted dash — none of it is flat, and a narrow base tips the moment it's set down. The wide, low base spreads its footprint across whatever's underneath instead of balancing on one high point.

The fins grip.

Flexible fins hold the drink by its bottom inch from every side, so washboard and whoops can't walk it loose the way they walk a can out of a shallow pocket.

It settles.

A hard hit rocks the base, the machine re-tilts on the grade, someone leans across for the cooler — its wide base of support holds it instead of letting it go, and the drink settles.

Nothing clamps to the cage. No tube-size chart, no bracket, nothing to retighten after a rough day. It sits on top of the console, the bed, the cooler lid, or the tailgate — wherever the machine has room that trip — and picks up in a second when you break camp.

From the reviews

What buyers say.

Real reviews of the Steadi — these ones mention side life.

★★★★★

I really love these! I can leave my drinks on the couch cushion next to me and not worry about them spilling. I like to sit in the corner seat of my sectional, so there’s no table on either side of me. These are the perfect solution without having to get up every time I want to take a sip.

Literally love these. Living with chronic illness sucks and often means dinner in bed, and limiting my beverage to my side table when I have the whole mattress to picnic? I was wishing something like this existed and the algorithm delivered. Simple, lightweight, flexible! Immediately rec’d to all my friends, regardless

The design for this is amazing. Simple and highly effective. No longer worrying about knocking over my drink from the side table or setting down my drink on a picnic blanket.

OMG!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BUY THESE!!!!!! i tested it out today on an old tv tray (wood and very slippery) and put a soda in it and played like “oops i bumped my tray” (and really hard) and NADA, NOPE, NOT AN INCH OF MOVEMENT from the STEADI. everything else went flying!!! cuz dummy me didn’t remove those other items first

As advertised and works great. If you don’t have a side table at the right spot for your couch or bed, this will solve your problem.

Why more than one

Two identical Stanleys. One question.

Everybody at staging runs the same 40 oz Stanley or 30 oz Rambler, because everybody bought the one everybody else already had. Set two on the same tailgate and there's no telling whose is whose until somebody takes a drink from the wrong one.

Build your set

Give everyone their own.

Pick a pack, then give each one a color — so nobody has to ask which drink is theirs.

Before you buy

Asked at the trailhead, answered here.

Does it actually work on a moving machine, not just parked?

That's the only place it was built for. The wide, low base spreads its grip across whatever it's sitting on instead of balancing on one point, and the fins hold the drink by its bottom inch so washboard can't walk it loose the way it walks a can out of a shallow pocket. It resists tipping through a whoop and settles back down for the next one.

Does it clamp to the cage or bolt to the dash?

No. Nothing clamps, mounts, or bolts to anything. It sits on top of the console, the dash, the cargo bed, or the tailgate at staging, and moves wherever you need it in a second — no tube-diameter chart, no bracket, no retightening after a rough day.

Will my 40 oz tumbler actually fit? The console won't take it.

Measure the bottom, not the rim. A base 2 to 3 inches across settles in, and the 40 oz Stanley-style tumbler is one of them — the exact cup the factory holder was never sized for.

The console holder cooks my drinks. Does this help?

It isn't limited to the console, so it isn't limited to the heat over the tunnel either. Set it on the dash, the seat, or anywhere else in the cab that's out of the driveline heat, and the drink stops riding directly above it.

What about dust? I run third in the group most of the day.

It doesn't seal a drink shut, so a lidded bottle, a screw-lid travel bottle, or a can with a topper lid still does the work against dust. What this does is keep that container from sliding, tipping, or launching once it's up there.

Does it work in the cargo bed with the cooler?

Yes — on hard, ribbed, or textured surfaces it holds at least as well as anywhere else in the cab. Set it in the bed, in a wheel well, or on the cooler lid and the wide base and fin grip do the same job they do up front.

Does it stow away when I'm not using it?

It's one flat piece of flexible material, so it folds down small enough to ride in a door bag or a glovebox between stops.

I already run a clamp-on holder. Why switch?

Clamps are sized to one tube diameter and mounted at chest height, and vibration is their known failure — the classic ending is the whole holder spinning loose after a hard hit. This doesn't mount to anything, so there's nothing to loosen and nowhere it's locked to just one seat.

How do I clean it after a muddy day?

Hose it off or wipe it down, or put it in the dishwasher. It's one piece of flexible material with nothing to take apart and nowhere for grit to hide.

Who makes it, and where do I buy one?
