You mean scrambler. HL ain’t no comparison to a renegade.

I said the same thing, it would be like a off brand can am renegade, cuz the sportsman is just like the outlander in my opinion

Well polaris are beast but they have 99 problems trust me get 1

Tristen Kinnamon have you had any issues? I just got a 2016 850 high lifter for half the cost a 2017 can am Xmr 850. I see all these comments and now I'm doubting my decision.

Anonymous Andy the can-am has more problems than the popo. people just don't like to admit they're can-am has gone through too many diffs and belts

they put the rhino 2 axles from superatv on them

I'd stick with a regular sportsman. Save yourself some cash if you aren't planning on mudding with it.

Yes.

I put big tires on my 570... not a good idea. it cant handle it. it blew a front diff, 2 engine mounts, countless axles, countless belts. only thing good about my 570 is that it was cheap to buy and it has decent power and is a smooth ride but if you are going to try build it into a mud machine then dont!

Pat is there a big bottom end power difference between the 2 in your opinion?

@@badas95Z not at all honesty. The 1000cc will just have more top end speed. Good marketing by Polaris though haha

@@inspectorharrycallahan8658 thanks for the honest answer

Rick Nelson we do lol

B Breckner jack squat really...they came from the sleds

Helps to rock the atv better

Ur a dumbass

Not me

Get an xmr bro

Honestly, if I had to say, save your money and just buy the tires and maybe some other things, we own a 2009 500 and that's just fine with normal mud tires. And it can go pretty deep

I definitely recommend it my buddy has one and it crawls through anything. I’ve ridden one and now I’m getting one this Sunday. Great machine

yes

Extreme Off roading get some pvc and glue ya lazy ass

You only need to add like 4 inches of pipe lol

Kyle Dejong canam's clutching is absolutely horrible. put a qsc adjustable kit in a polaris and your way better off. I still think the canam is a better bike all around just shit clutches.

last time i looked the xmr was heavier than the highlifter

Kyle Dejong, is correct the renegade xmr 1000 is the best mud bike all around

proven how?

we are not defensive,,, we are just tired of being condemned for spending our money on what we want,,, every brand has had and will have issues,,, but i don't recall one can am bursting into flames,,, i've had my can am since brand new in may of '15,,, not one single issue,,, a lot of shit is caused by rider treatment,,,,,

they still make mudpros.....

Aaron Frankum buy a mud pro and you'll get left behind in the skeg with your hampster wheel for an engine. CAN AM XMR OR GET THE FUCK OUT

Bailey Duguay you may want to check Arctic cats website that only stopped making the 1000 for a and can am had the same problem you have locked differential in reverse

yeah while your burn belts trying to keep up

Haven't burnt a belt yet...

i have the 850HL, my buddy has the xmr 1000r..and we lined up, and we were side by side tell i hit the limiter(85km)..and we went mudding and theres no differents..both awesome bikes.

Na8Aug does the 4x4 kick in automatically or is there's a switch so you can select

Preston Clark that's how you break stuff stupid

Preston Clark its got a yellow switch on the throttle . Gives you 2wd ... 4wd... 4wd down hill descent. By quickest engagment he means the front differential locks up faster . Electric diff lock senses wheel slip and engages.

Rodger Garrett I agree it's tires are only 29s when the renegade 1000r comes with 32

Phillips ps4plays they use can am dumbass

Malcolm Edgar They do yes but he's also said numerous times that the Sportsmans are great quads.

Do The M.E.D.S and they got the video and then it died

@@bboyztv5122 huh

The med bar is the thing in the middle of the bars you can grab while trying to rock the bike side to side and the covered snorkels work very well

Troy Teddy mine too

Yee i got a 2016 kq 750 axi. Its a beast . Light mods done

Troy Teddy awesome ive just got an old kingquad 500. really great reliable bike and im only 16 so cant ask for much

Troy Teddy They are reliable but they lack power...

Troy Teddy I've got a 2016 king quad 500 snorkels, msa rims, gorilla silver back mt2 28" with 2" high lifter lift kit and its a beast

because it is 10000 times more fun than a focus

Can a focus go in 4 feet of mud and water

excellent comment

I'm wondering wtf would pay that much for a focus

If you own a can am you got alot more shit to worry about than a wiring harness

like what

woofman believe me canam is terrible in reliability, my buddy pulled out a 400 raptor with his canam 800 and his belt burned!that and he had to do a transmission rebuild,. I've had the Polaris sportsman 850 for a while and hardly have maintenance,, just the one time my fuel filter was bad. All I'm saying is canam is overrated, LOL

Noel Rubalcava my mom will only buy Polaris,, you are intitled to believe as you wish,. I am not easily offended. I prefer can am

woofman suite your self

The White Wolfe It has a rack on the back.

Forgot about shitty crisco lock too.

i've had my can am over 2 1/2 years here in hot ass florida,,,, not one single issue,,, but i am quite positive it was my money,,, not yours that paid for it

woofman I hear ya I used to sit and watch KZfaq when I owned a Polaris I had 2 both were complete shit lost money and had to sit home while I waited for parts and my buddies riding can am and Honda we’re out playing

Cat Jack those that are unhappy with what they have are the only ones that talk shit to and about us can am owners, but I don't care, they don't pay my way and I don't pay theirs

The White Wolfe it has the full rear rack. Just no front rack due to the fans and rad relocate

The White Wolfe a back rack. Who needs a front rack anyways

Gagnon #78 still better than the rear diffs in the can-ams. Polaris actually builds their bikes in America instead of assembling

hahahaha

Aaron LeBlanc Polaris parts are made in Mexico. The labels are everywhere on every Polaris I have seen. I have been riding for 30 years and I am still waiting for Polaris to build something that I would feel confident riding in remote areas. I actually worked at a Polaris dealership briefly and they had 65 cylinders on the shelf. Can anybody explain that one? You can ride home with a damaged differential. You will never get home with a blown engine.

they built and assembled their parts in america until 2010 when they decided for functionality and overall production output to build a single manufacturer plant in mexico. the cylinder count is based on how many vehicles they had and sold, if you dont know that much, then that number is incoherent in the argument. ive been riding for about ten years and i say polaris has many competent bikes with having some with problems, like every other brand on the planet, honda had the rancher 400, the first year 420, and the pioneer 1000-5 right now, can-am had the outlander gen 1 chassis break which they also used on the gen 1 renegades.

jeremiahlf ive got 13,000mi on my 99 sportsman. Motor is original.

yes

i haven't had any issues with mine

*They're

Jeremy Nowak that's why guys like ostacruiser and such ride can ams lol

Jeremy Nowak I don't think cracking a frame is better, same with the diffs, drive shaft, and belt.

Have you ever owned a highlifter??? I traded in my XMR on one. You want to talk about issues. Blew the engine with 250Km on it first run at the mud Boggs. Then they didn't install the second engine properly and it blew when I picked it up and unloaded it in my driveway. Two front axles one back axle A belt and the final straw was a cracked frame rate at the engine mount. These can am xmrs crack frames quite often. I have two other friends that are cracked or frames on there Xmrs. I do the same riding with my high lifter the only issue I've had is two of the outlaw 2 tires separated at the seam which are now replaced under warranty. So ask me if I miss my XMR umm............NOPE! So enjoy your can am and good luck Bud. But I guess if you just ride around in your backyard you should be fine :)

EverythingSRT Can am will warranty their products and when they see an issue affecting many people, they come out with service bulletins or even a recall to make it right. Polaris will just call it abuse and hit you with the damn bill.

No true u have a ranger and had a bed heating problem they called us about the recall we just dropped it off and they replaced for free

Can am used to be trash. Than they couldn't compete so the did what dodge did and went with gimmicks. It worked because there are a lot of people buying the overpriced turds! Honda is the best. Not the fastest but the best.

Daniel Beavers no just stop

Noah I am confused"NO," to what . Can am has always been very cheap poor quality Diffrence is they used to be cheaper than the rest. Now there still poor quality buy the price isn't cheap. Its a gimmicks. They don't last and you spend half you're day pulling over trying to fix stuff. Yes its fast but its not accurate. If honda wanted to throw reliability out the windows which can am forsure did and Polaris somewhat did. They could do it. But honda has a reputation to up hold build ones to last no matter the machine reliability comes before all the way it should be. It doesn't matter how fast yours is if my honda is doing a steady 60mph then here comes show off on his can am goes flying pass us a 90mph. But what do you know quarter mile up the can am is dead in the mud while the honda chugging alone. I will say they are more fun to drive for the little time you will be able to drive it. Its going to be a headache. Constantly fixing this fixing that well you're ready to go 2 hours later in Polaris is a sitting duck. Me personally iam going for the one that comes from the best and largest engine company in the would. They know what there doing. They don't die there on the cheap side. Just buy a honda and modified it the right way. It will go thru anything any other will and save you wayl less iregret**

Tomax XXX even though there's mud races where both lost and couldn't get through the same lines as the polaris

Tomax XXX I think Polaris does better with utility and side by sides but can am is better with mud and really really sporty stuff no doubt

Logan McCarthy how does can-am do better with mud? they didn't even do anything to the suspension except shocks and bigger tires. Polaris put stiffer shocks, arched a-arms, more aggressive tires than can-am and did a rad relocate with snorkels that have an overall better flow than can-am's. I'd prefer the Polaris as it also has more ground clearance than the renegade by about an inch

Aaron LeBlanc Let me rephrase that. I am a huge Polaris fan. But I just feel like Polaris focuses more on utility (which I like) and can am focuses more on mud and sport. So yes, Polaris does do better with mud, but can am focuses more on mud and sport than Polaris does.

Logan McCarthy okay. that clears a lot up. even when my 400 sportsman follows those 850 renegades through the holes they went through🤣

My friend has this, It's a piece of shit.*

Cason Chandler Please explain, because I'd take it in a heart beat

He's probably a can am fanboy

its a shame that ive towed so many dead can ams home

Ethan it kills me how can am boys think their shit don't stink, the diffs are weak af, they make a lot of noice right out of the box, visco lock is garbage, the belts burn up constantly I just don't get it

Fully disagree with your comment, but thank you for your opinion.

Brad Van go opposite. all the can-ams around here blow diffs at the sight of mud and Polaris is more reliable with a true diff lock, lower gears, about the same horsepower in the 850 and higher horsepower in the scrambler which is the rival to the renegade.

Yeah homie Polaris definitely beats can am

Pull up then my xmr 1k will walk y’all up and down

Sorry that comment junk, I own both an Outlander XMR and highlifter Ranger 1000. Can-Am does have Polaris on the looks. I have smoked my belt on the Can-Am trying to pull somebody out in Reverse. My Ranger has a reverse chain that thing's Bulletproof.

Brand new highlifters are wrecking front diffs before even SEEING the mud. Hell, one guy broke his backing out of the garage.
