ATV Television Test - 2008 Polaris Ranger RZR

[maurolue]

i still have my rzr yes its a 2008 but i still love it

[ATVTVCOM]

@maurolue It just may be the best year for quality - I wish we would have kept ours ;-(

[1728jeff7928]

is the rzr better then normal ranger in mud and water

[ATVTVCOM]

@1728jeff7928 A lot depends on that -

[1728jeff7928]

@ATVTVCOM ...............is ranger good for trails and stuff........better then rzr

[ATVTVCOM]

@1728jeff7928 I really like the size of the Ranger 500 out on the trails, but better than a RZR? No. That's what RZR's are made for.....

[gwk4657]

I liked your video very much.

[teryx98]

SHOULD I BUY THE NEW RZR OR A OLDER MODLEL?

[ATVTVCOM]

@teryx98 If you can find a clean and low mileage older model that's what I'd go for.

[Mrdeandean100]

are these 2wd drive or you have the option of all wheel?

[ATVTVCOM]

@Mrdeandean100 You can choose between 2wd and 4wd.

[Derek130b]

I like the idea of the rzr but I also like the rhino so how would u compare the two and is the terxy better or worse than the rhino and the rzr

[ATVTVCOM]

@Derek130b Check out our comparison video. You can more easily find in on our website. Basically the RZR is the most fun and the only 50". Teryx is good on the wider trails and can do some work as well.

[chuck53b]

Dammn i want rzr but i don't have the money..

[ATVTVCOM]

@chuck53b Maybe by the time you have the money, they'll be way better! Or Suzuki will have one.

[rocky2win]

what changes have they made for 2009 ?

[highwaystar148]

i ve NEVER SEEN A POLARIS IN MY LIFE

[ATVTVCOM]

@highwaystar148 Wow! Did you just wake up from a 15 year nap?

[highwaystar148]

@ATVTVCOM well ive only seen 1 polaris fourwheler everything else no where i live the cops have already shut down almost all teh mud areas so yea no where to ride but i ride on my 120 acres of land

[2point0L]

@highwaystar148 you gotta take your atv out of that town then bud. trails are more fun, just exploring :D

[joe23da]

@highwaystar148 u must be blind

[oppisiteofafredfan]

how much is this?

[ATVTVCOM]

@oppisiteofafredfan Although the retail price is at the end of the video, you should check your local dealer - with the economy like it is they just might be making some very good deals!

[goofballs911]

Are these good for jumping, I know the rzr s is but I want the narrow rzr and its cheaper, but are these good for jumping.

[goofballs911]

Does polaris have bad engine quality? Do they break down lots? Also does the regular rzr handle well.

Thanks

[ClarksonsinUSA]

Well i have purchased 5 Polaris atrvs,and had good service from all but the 2008 800 touring...

But I messed up when I bought a 2008 800cc touring,I dont think they know how to build a good quality 800 v twin....

[Paulson14]

760cc is the displacement dummy lol

[evertegon]

it´s 760cc, they say 800cc. hmm

[y3llowd3ll]

Will it fit in a full size 8 foot bed pickup truck?

[ATVTVCOM]

You'll need to leave the tailgate down.

[smotilla]

esta buenisisisisimo!!!!!!!!!!!

[jacobnjacob15]

thats what im worried about cuz im scared if i get the s i cant ride it on the trails

[Bacardibombillo]

@jacobnjacob15 U can always make the trials wider as U go... trails weren't born there... they were made as they ride... Dont worry sure you'll love it... I do.

[ATVTVCOM]

@Bacardibombillo Whoa there! Some trails are set and limited to 50" wide vehicle. Breaking through the barriers and/or widening the trails is a sure way to get those incredible 2-tracks closed down for us all!

[glock19x300]

I could do without the commercials at the beginning... the vid didnt even start until almost 2 minutes!

[jacobnjacob15]

idk what to get a rzr or rzr s i like trail rideing but i want the power of the rzr s and im scared if i get the rzr s i cant ride on kinda tight trail

[ATVTVCOM]

The power difference is not the issue. The RZR and the RZR S are nearly identical in power. The differences are one is 50" wide and one is 60" wide. The RZR fits on the 50" trails. The RZR S handles much better because it has longer suspension arms - but does not fit on the 50" trails.

[Kochenderfer21]

Could you make that thing street legal??

[ATVTVCOM]

It would depend on the state. Check the requirements at your local DMV

[streetking306]

how many cc's is it?

[ConRWD]

800

[0988509885]

Around 750 if im right maybe a little more

[ATVTVCOM]

760cc.

[popdancebeats]

63 mph

[myCase442]

what is best for hard core trail riding, the rzr, rhino700 kawi terx or a sportsman 850xp?thanks

[ATVTVCOM]

RZR S unless you need 50" only - then the RZR. They're not perfect but certainly fun.

[dontask2015]

850 definantly

[NickLTR]

I think if you are a aggressive trail rider a Rzr or Rhino aren't the way to go they are cool but i think the 850xp is the best for you.

[ATVTVCOM]

That's a heavy machine for 'aggressive' riding - it would be a great machine to keep you in shape - or get you in shape ;-)

[CHARKELLYAZ1818]

sweet vehicle. Better than rhino in my opinion.

[quincee33]

is it AWD or 4wd? i thought he says it switches into AWD...just wondering if it locks into 4wd?

[ATVTVCOM]

It gives you a choice between 2wd and AWD - Polaris' unique 4wd system that locks into 4wd automatically when it senses slip on the front wheels.

[CUMMINANDSCANIAV8]

is it worth selling my honda trx 350 4x4 2007 for one of these

[ATVTVCOM]

I'd say so !

[gum76891]

YES

[zippypinhead11]

why was your chech engine light on?

[ATVTVCOM]

Filmed with the ignition key on but the engine not running.

[whiteboy11000]

which is the best side by side for work and play. i like the teryx and the rzr but which one.

[ATVTVCOM]

You can check out our Misc. Ramblings video on our site it gives a rundown that basically says, RZR is sportiest/least work, the Teryx is still almost as fast and sporty but with more work ability. Does not fit on ATV-only trails.

[jdecker89]

Why do you guys not like polaris' 4x4 system, i guess i just don't understand why you would want something with 3 1/2 wheel drive and then have to hold a lever to have true 4x4. I'm not trying to be rude, i just don't see any advantages.

[ATVTVCOM]

We like having the ability to control the front drive - from 2wd to an open 4wd on easier trails to a full 4wd in the difficult stuff. The Polaris is either 2wd or 4wd. Plus, the way it's designed, it requires that you push the override button for 4wd in reverse! We don't understand that either.

[ndballer2]

I have a 08 rzr with 14 inch rims and i had bighorns and they could not hook up in sand but i cant just get paddles so what would be a good tire for hard packed trails,sand and the occasional mud

[ATVTVCOM]

That's asking a lot for one tire! We really like the Terra Cross. They seem to work better in the sand than most all conditions tires. See our Product Review of them on the ITP 'widestance' wheels.

[idontknowproductions]

i always you knew you could ride an ATV with no skill or effort. . . untill it flips and kills you. but now they have this, an ATV with a steering wheel and a sofa! this is even MORE lazier! WHOA guys now you dont have to break a sweat with keeping the four wheeler from not flipping!

humans are sure getting lazy

[Knox48x]

I just had my first experience with the Razor today and I gotta say i was very impressed by the handling, throttle response and espically getting over off camber hills that you would think would feel very tippy but the suspension worked great and did it's job. I have used a Rhino before and i think the Razor hands down blows it outta the water!

[ionforlife101]

the bads on the rzr are all small and easyly fixed by putting some money into it if you got it.

[1bamacracker]

I have a rzr and it is the best investment I have ever made.Of course the first thing to go was those ugly wheels and tires.I put 14in. wheels and 26in. bighorn tires,great all around tire.Very fun and it will smoke any other stock UTV made.

[ATVTVCOM]

I often hear comments regarding Polaris' lack of reliability but have not seen any examples myself. Of course we only put hundred's of miles on them not thousands. I believe you made the best point regarding Polaris I've heard - many Polaris buyer's might be first-time buyers and don't do the regular maintenance needed to assure a trouble-free ride.

[lmelhiser]

Im going to get a rzr s in the next 2 months and was wondering what would be a better investment for it aftermarket exhuast or a turbo? And what kind is the best i only buy the best of everything!

[ATVTVCOM]

Both have plus and minus. Exhaust's are cheaper, but most are too loud and add marginal power increase. A turbo add tremendous power, is quiet, but is considerably more expensive and can get in the way of aftermarket shock, and wheels and tires if you are trying to stay 50" wide.

[oVega1987o]

Hi i am very intrested in the RZR and Yamaha Rhino. But i ride honda and most of my friends ride yamaha. i know yamaha is reliable, But the people who we ride with are polaris. I always see polaris being junk. but these are people i do not know how they treat there equipment. whats is your opinon on polaris.

[yellowPARTYHAT]

oh thank you so much for this video it helped me get this polaris rzr so thanks i subscribed also :)

[TylersGlory]

yeh, i would love to have a 5 speed utv. With a actual stick shift Like a car.

[SleddinGURU]

Awesome. I love ATV television. I hope you keep the videos coming.

[ATVTVCOM]

That's what I say too. A UTV would be perfect with the clutchless auto stick shift like the ATVs. I continually wonder why nobody's done it yet.

[kitekunisaki2000]

too bad they dont have it in manual or id get one

[fisherman2134]

ya the rzr can go 15 mph faster that the polaris ranger 700 4X4 has 10" of ground clearance compared to the polaris 700 EFI's 12" but that can be easily fixe just by adding somf 27.5" mud/ or all terrain big nob tires which would give it 12.5" of ground clearance and the stock tires aren't very good anyway.

[cjmytown20]

you shold test the POLARIS RANGER 700 4X4 EFI, its the best.

[badcolt944]

nice ride

[theuntouchedsecret]

nice side by side i want one

[krn5706]

only a 760cc, why didn`t they put that unlocked rear diff in the back

[bubuybubu]

nice
