@53mtbrider LOL Yeah!!! Buy an Outty..they've been built in Mexico since 2006!! Kudo's to Polaris for holdin off this long...90% of what you buy is made in another Country. do your homework, Oh and keep shoppin Walmart!!
I tried it -- I liked it alot - I want to buy one - but the single lever breaking forces me to not buy one -- the lack of 2 levers is NOT a feature ,it is a flaw -- fix it polaris
my polaris sportsman rear end bends like no other we had to fix and weld 3 times and just broke so we have to get a whole new rear end and lots of other things have broke!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone should be aware that Polaris is cutting hundreds of jobs in Osceola,Wisc. and taking alot of the production to Mexico. shame on them. All A.T.V.'s will have low rider kits and Snowmobile seat padding will be made from Marijuana leaves.
Polaris 850 XP I love mine until this kast weekend, My Belt Broke and had to be pulled out by a Honda.....
One of the selling points was Polaris stated that there belts would easilly get 5000 miles out of them. I use to consider my XP a Perfet 10......Now I am thinking a 7.5
A belt is not covered under the warranty either, It is considered a consumable Item.
My question is......Might there be a better Quality Belt out there that will last better....Gates Perhaps?
exactly if you guys dont like polaris why are you looking them up on you tube definitly sounds like jealousy. go watch you own videos i love polaris and i dont go watch arctic cat or ski doo videos or yamaha. so yeah you guys go ahead and love your jap crap ill stick with my polaris
just saying just because u own a honda suzuki or whatever don't think its the best atv in the world plus if you hate polaris why r u watchin this vid!!!!
stop posting rude comments on videos because ur just jealous u don't own a polaris!!+ polaris is made in usa so its american muscle
Polaris is super heavy really big they break down all the time and if you wreck with one of those you will get squashed.i even rode the Polaris xp 850 and it is horrible who ever owns a Polaris is a pathetic loser.switch to Yamaha.they almost never have problems
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Rode this quad today. What a piece of crap! Shakes like a baby rattle, TOO HEAVY, plastic parts feel junky, and I'm sorry, but it's just plain damn ugly. My friend was bragging how much better it was that my Grizzly 700 EPS, (and over $2,000 more!!!) and I still had to pull him out of the mud. The only thing not stock on my Grizz are 26" ITP Mudlites. Too slow down hills, you need to hit the gas to go downhill. You want engine braking to control your decent, not make you crawl!!! QUAD FAIL!!!
Just bought my secong 850 XP EPS, the only modifications are 27 sparticus radials and & 28 swamp lite tires. We ride with a group of about 60 people and would say the entire range of ATV's are represented. The only unit's even close to the 850 all have lifts and 29 or 30 inch tires. Even then I can usually outperform them in the mud. None of them are close when it comes to performance.
lol...yeah i just got an XP and it has 12 in. of ground clearance....everything i go through, no one else has a chance!!!! plus, u cant go wrong with the Lock 'n Ride!!! The Outty is OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The CAN AM Outlander is far better than this bulky XP tank.-- For example, the XP weighs more than 100lbs more than the nimble Outlander. It has to use a 850cc engine@ 70 hp while the Outlander uses a 800cc engine and produces 71hp. In board brakes on the Outlander is far better than than having them at each wheel, less upsprung weight, & more mass centralization. I could go on for hrs on this kind of stuff.
Yeah, the Outty is better until the 1st time you clip a stump or tree and the frame bends like a soda can (and in the process does major drive train damage).... Been down that road... After I payed my $500 deductible and the insurance co. payed the other $4k, I sold that Outty POS. It was an '09 with less than 200 miles on her.
I'll keep on ride'n my new "XP Tank" and will never go back to Outty!
dude, ive had 2 can-am's. and they both suck dick. and they both got sold. they wrent reliable, and i thought they rode like shit even though some people beg to differ.
I have an 07 sportsman 800 and I haven't had a moments trouble with it. Of course I do take care of it and don't ride it like it's stolen. Most people who think a certain 4 wheeler is junk is because they had one or know someone who had one and probably ragged the shit out of it.
The front tires are skinny ya, but the back tires on polaris fourwheelers are insanely wide. I have a '04 Sportsman 400 and the tires(still stock) on the back are like 15 inches wide atleast.
im look for a atv to beat up and still run like somewhat new i want to mud,mud hills,hill,trail and just ride im lookin at this or bigboss 6X6 or honda foreman witch one?
Being a Honda rider, I suggest the Foreman. We have three, a '95 400, an '02 450, and an '06 500, and we've never had a problem with any of them by just doing routine maintenance. Oh, and a message to anyone who may reply to my comment about how Honda sucks. Any Honda will outlast the POS that you'll say you ride. :D
yea dude, hondas are shitty for off roading, soo if i had one i'd probaly smash it with a sledge hammer from getting pissed at it, only thing hondas got is durability and people are saying there new hondas aint that durable.... sounds pretty gay, get a can am
The Polaris Ranger really is like the Hummer of ATV's, I took that think places I wouldn't have take a Honda, or any ATV, I did try to take the Brute Force, but I accidently took it on a very difficult trail, not realizing which trail it was until It was basically too late, I mean difficult technical terrain, steeps, ruts, straddles, side hills, things that usually show an atv it's limits, Ranger performed like a hummer, it stayed planted, climbed, was stable, and comfortable.

You know absolutely jack shit about whats allowed and whats not. 2 strokes are allowed in whatever a monufacturer wants to put one in. As long as it's EPA certified.
Todays direct fuel injected 2 strokes produce less C02 than a 4 stroke producing the same power, not to mention weigh a lot less and produce more power. Ever heard of E-TEC? If not i'd suggest having a look, It's the future of 2 strokes. Anything with the Polaris name on it is a pure POS, time has proved that tenfold.
How stupid is it ? to put the front winch down low in the front , that will really work well when you get stuck in the mud over the tires ,,, mount it just above the rad and do it right
Putting the winch low makes it easier to get out of a ditch, mud, ect. Even though you probably don't need the winch, its good to have one just in case you have to pull a Yamaha or Kawasaki out of the mud. ;) Also if you get the rack extenders you can link the hook to it.
Talking about the new lock and ride system on the XP and making over 100 new lock and ride accessories will the older sportsmans lock and rides work on this one ?
What is the anticipated Polaris death rate for demographic groups 12-18 male? LOL How many body bags does the storage box handle? Do the body bags have the Polaris logo? hahaha i crack myself up
new this new that, and it still looks like a god damn Polaris from 15 years ago. I see they also like to copy names from BRP, the XP is from the skidoo line up. Whats next? A Sportsman REV? Fuck.
AHAHAH let me guess. You own one, of course it's the best at everything. Grow up a bit man, just cause you don't like something a person says doesn't make it gay. LMAO.
If thats the route you wanna go though........thats the gayest bike i've ever seen.
it just is funny that you think they crossed some moral line by using the name xp, standing for extreme performance, something they have been useing for about five years now starting with the ranger. plus, this shit happens all the time. you dont see my crying that canam starting putting H.O. on all there engines, something they borrowed from polaris, or that they now have a R at the end of the outlander and renegade. BOO HOO!
Extreme performance? From a four wheeler? Give me a break, those thinks are slow as balls.
As for CanAm putting H.O. on their bikes....BRP has produced a 600HO 2 stroke snowmobile engine since 2003. Thats where the name comes from. And the R at the end is from the 800R 2 stroke.
That's what they need to put in a bike to make things interesting, 4 strokes suck. Bolt the 155HP 800R 2 stroke in there and hang on.
My point is that you claiming H.O. was in use by BRP before Polaris is bogus. I am also not claiming Polaris invented it, just arguing your claims. 60s Pontiac Firebird 455 H.O. anyone?
Extreme performance? From a four wheeler? Give me a break, those thinks are slow as balls.

you said that, they cant put it in there, they cant sell it like that. child.
they CAN put a snowmobile motor in an atv, they did it with a scrambler, search it on youtube, so, you ride snowmobiles, but why do you have to come on atv vids flaming? its childish, and btw since when is 28 old?
I know they CAN put a 2 stroke in a bike, Yamaha did it for years and they worked awesome. And yes, I do drive sleds, but also have a 4 wheeler. I've got a 08 renegade 800......big fuckin whoop. I'm not flaming ATV vids, just ones about shity bikes.
outlander. can am's got the outlander's engine so finly tuned its amazing the only down side to the outlander is that the body on them is not very strong
This new Atv looks pretty awsome and they did alot of nice new changes but they now want you to buy your own front storage system on top of there ridiculous $11 000 price and the new polaris outlaw 2009 looks like abosolute shit i couldn't belive how ugly they made it , yeah its ligther but making it ugly doesn't help sell it im sorry the 2008 and 2007 are way nicer , meaner and aggresive
70hp? damn. that's a lot. good idea, narrowing the tank between the legs. sounds like a well thought out quad. i see artcic cat has a mud specific quad with snorkels and such. seems like the manufacturers are really turning there ear to what customers are using these things for.
but really, when will the displacement and tire war end? bigger engines with bigger, wider tires come out every year, then they deepen the mud hole, and everyone needs to get bigger tires the next year, and on and on.
Your giving it to much credit, a lawn mower sounds like it has more balls then the polaris, they sound like a vacuum or a leaf blower but this 850 is the best thing polaris could do, and its a huge step up, I think they did a good job on this one, but they still got plastic racks
i personnaly never liked polaris. i always thought they were built heavy in the wrong areas. glad to see they have dual a arms tho. but honestly do you need 850 cc? just get a freakin ford ranger. same thing
nice... but I live outside USA, I paid for 2 of´em and wondered if they have been already delivered to the costumers.... because here don´t, but if you ever can afford one, you can jump with it...if you want.
ive seen people jump 800 polaris's but thats not what people use them for. even if this thing is heavy it will still smoke any honda or yamaha ute speed wise. it has more horsepower than a thundercat and a renegade. renegades have like 64 at the crank [which means nothing] that makes like 45 at the wheels.
For "smlmydslsmke" I know I hate that they put all the extra weight in the frame!
But what I really don't like is when they add all those extra supports! I mean who wants a frame that is a bit over kill, and what I really like is when people skimp in this area and put in a bunch of horse power thinking that customer wouldn't notice!
lol kinda like the renegades. i think those twist frames and stuff. i mean its just a single square tube frame. and for all the reason that i have a problem with their weight is because i have seen a polaris 800(not as heavy) get stuck in 10" of snow. he also had mudlites on. i drove through his tracks with a completely stock rancher 350. my guess is because i am light thats all i can think of
I just sold my 700 Sportsman which was in excellent condition and never had any problems with it and bought a Grizzly 700 EPS. The older Polaris ATV's had quality problems, but mine did not, I just prefer the Grizzly. Looks like the newest one Polaris will be a pretty good machine though I would never buy the first year of any major upgrade; Tundra...
I am not a big Polaris fan, But polaris did a good job on this and there new 550, I think polaris is headed in the right direction except for the power steering but other then that i think this is a huge step up
Im not digging the loc n ride. Seems like something else to deal with. Plus he said there making accessories for just it. Other then that, looks fucking nice.
What I meant was, the only stuff that will work on it is lock N ride. So you have to buy Polaris brand stuff to fit on it. You couldn't really go aftermarket with baskets or anything like that.
Not true make apattern of the lock and ride holes using paper then trnasfer them to the bottom of what ever box you want there then drill holes and use boat drain plugs to secure the boxes from the inside.
It's going to beat everything in power except for the thundercat and mabey the can an 800. Grizzly is lighter though. This machine weighs 784 pounds. The girzzly also has a better locker and is WAY more reliable polaris break down to easy. Breaking I don't know about that. The grizzly is still king though for off road performance.
yeah people say that polaris are bad quality but what i hate about the jap atv's is that they are made so cheaply, with plastic skid plates and weak frames. sportsmans have stronger frames with full steel skid plates and stronger suspension components. why the hell do you think they weight 150 pounds more? never had a problem with my sportsman. the grizzly 700 is a toy compared to it
Of course it isn't. More weight doesn't mean something is better made. Those "jap" atv's are extrememly well made but like all vehicles, some are spec'd better than others. Personally, I like the Sportsman because you get a lot for your money. Quality-wise, they're well made but I've noticed that Polaris is a mixed bag itself. I've seen them with Fuji engines and Korean transmissions and those have been extremely reliable and I haven't noticed any quality issues.
This will add some competition. Steering will be great mabey even better than the Grizzly. Suspension will be on par with the grizzly to. Ground clearance is higher than the Grizz as well but not by much and the grizzly has more usable ground clearance.
this is the first major update to the sportsman in over a decade. i follow this stuff closely and this looks like it could become top of its class. the new motor sounds great and it looks like it will be lighter with the new frame. it looks weird now but they all do.
buddies i was never a polaris fan cuz of their square looking front end and also suspension set up but WOW did they change both that love the look and suspension and ground clearnace sounds great i hope one of my buddies buys this so i can try it out. (i got a yami grizz 700 love it and wont change it for anything!!!)

plastic... plastic... and even more plastic...and honda allready put a rolled IRS on their 700xx and the longitudinaly mounted engine was introduce by honda in 1998, if my memory is good, the radiator is not protected enough, and the 14'' aluminium wheels mean that if you want to changes the tire, it will cost you more money...

How stupid is it ? to put the front winch down low in the front , that will really work well when you get stuck in the mud over the tires ,,, mount it just above the rad and do it right
0001ooo1 3 years ago
Putting the winch low makes it easier to get out of a ditch, mud, ect. Even though you probably don't need the winch, its good to have one just in case you have to pull a Yamaha or Kawasaki out of the mud. ;) Also if you get the rack extenders you can link the hook to it.

mxzx800r 3 years ago
it just is funny that you think they crossed some moral line by using the name xp, standing for extreme performance, something they have been useing for about five years now starting with the ranger. plus, this shit happens all the time. you dont see my crying that canam starting putting H.O. on all there engines, something they borrowed from polaris, or that they now have a R at the end of the outlander and renegade. BOO HOO!
DeepVoiceMan 3 years ago
Extreme performance? From a four wheeler? Give me a break, those thinks are slow as balls.
As for CanAm putting H.O. on their bikes....BRP has produced a 600HO 2 stroke snowmobile engine since 2003. Thats where the name comes from. And the R at the end is from the 800R 2 stroke.
That's what they need to put in a bike to make things interesting, 4 strokes suck. Bolt the 155HP 800R 2 stroke in there and hang on.

Polaris had the H.O. on the Scrambler in '99, you douche.

mxzx800r 3 years ago
My point is that you claiming H.O. was in use by BRP before Polaris is bogus. I am also not claiming Polaris invented it, just arguing your claims. 60s Pontiac Firebird 455 H.O. anyone?
suzukiman650 3 years ago
H.O was used by BRP before Polaris, if it wasn't I wouldn't of said it was. They used it on the 98 mxz 670HO. Argue that claim douche
mxzx800r 3 years ago
Well you didn't say that originally, you said 'since 2003'. You need to be a little more clear when you are arguing something.

Of course they can't put a 160HP engine in a 4wheeler. I just said it would be cool if they put an engine in one that actually had some balls.

they CAN put a snowmobile motor in an atv, they did it with a scrambler, search it on youtube, so, you ride snowmobiles, but why do you have to come on atv vids flaming? its childish, and btw since when is 28 old?
jfacFAN1 3 years ago
I know they CAN put a 2 stroke in a bike, Yamaha did it for years and they worked awesome. And yes, I do drive sleds, but also have a 4 wheeler. I've got a 08 renegade 800......big fuckin whoop. I'm not flaming ATV vids, just ones about shity bikes.
And since when is 22 a child?
mxzx800r 3 years ago
they cant now, 2 strokes are outlawed in atvs.
and this is not a shitty atv, this 850 would blow the tires off of a stock renegade.
andi assumed you were a child by how immature your comments were.

codedog04 3 years ago
70hp? damn. that's a lot. good idea, narrowing the tank between the legs. sounds like a well thought out quad. i see artcic cat has a mud specific quad with snorkels and such. seems like the manufacturers are really turning there ear to what customers are using these things for.
but really, when will the displacement and tire war end? bigger engines with bigger, wider tires come out every year, then they deepen the mud hole, and everyone needs to get bigger tires the next year, and on and on.

Your giving it to much credit, a lawn mower sounds like it has more balls then the polaris, they sound like a vacuum or a leaf blower but this 850 is the best thing polaris could do, and its a huge step up, I think they did a good job on this one, but they still got plastic racks

jpcastroco 3 years ago
ive seen people jump 800 polaris's but thats not what people use them for. even if this thing is heavy it will still smoke any honda or yamaha ute speed wise. it has more horsepower than a thundercat and a renegade. renegades have like 64 at the crank [which means nothing] that makes like 45 at the wheels.
jfacFAN1 3 years ago
For "smlmydslsmke" I know I hate that they put all the extra weight in the frame!
But what I really don't like is when they add all those extra supports! I mean who wants a frame that is a bit over kill, and what I really like is when people skimp in this area and put in a bunch of horse power thinking that customer wouldn't notice!
MrSlasher80 3 years ago
lol kinda like the renegades. i think those twist frames and stuff. i mean its just a single square tube frame. and for all the reason that i have a problem with their weight is because i have seen a polaris 800(not as heavy) get stuck in 10" of snow. he also had mudlites on. i drove through his tracks with a completely stock rancher 350. my guess is because i am light thats all i can think of

It's going to beat everything in power except for the thundercat and mabey the can an 800. Grizzly is lighter though. This machine weighs 784 pounds. The girzzly also has a better locker and is WAY more reliable polaris break down to easy. Breaking I don't know about that. The grizzly is still king though for off road performance.

maplecustom99 3 years ago 3
yeah people say that polaris are bad quality but what i hate about the jap atv's is that they are made so cheaply, with plastic skid plates and weak frames. sportsmans have stronger frames with full steel skid plates and stronger suspension components. why the hell do you think they weight 150 pounds more? never had a problem with my sportsman. the grizzly 700 is a toy compared to it
DeepVoiceMan 3 years ago
Of course it isn't. More weight doesn't mean something is better made. Those "jap" atv's are extrememly well made but like all vehicles, some are spec'd better than others. Personally, I like the Sportsman because you get a lot for your money. Quality-wise, they're well made but I've noticed that Polaris is a mixed bag itself. I've seen them with Fuji engines and Korean transmissions and those have been extremely reliable and I haven't noticed any quality issues.

a grizzly will never have the off road capabilitys of a sportsman all tehy have is top speed maybe and there lighter
gbkcmowing 3 years ago
This will add some competition. Steering will be great mabey even better than the Grizzly. Suspension will be on par with the grizzly to. Ground clearance is higher than the Grizz as well but not by much and the grizzly has more usable ground clearance.

competition? the 850 will blow the grizzly away

this is the first major update to the sportsman in over a decade. i follow this stuff closely and this looks like it could become top of its class. the new motor sounds great and it looks like it will be lighter with the new frame. it looks weird now but they all do.

buddies i was never a polaris fan cuz of their square looking front end and also suspension set up but WOW did they change both that love the look and suspension and ground clearnace sounds great i hope one of my buddies buys this so i can try it out.
