First Ride on the Polaris High Lifter XP1000

Polaris loaned me a Sportsman XP1000 High Lifter edition to try out this winter. This is the first quad I've ever ridden with snorkels and a high mount radiator. Needless to say this thing was super fun in the mud and I had a blast trying something totally out of my wheelhouse. Huge shout out to Polaris for the Opportunity!

Pete nice to see you on a mud machine I couldn’t believe my eyes at first. But to answer your question and low or high. You’re supposed to use low when going thru mud and water it offers a noticeable difference when going thru due to lower gearing. I was always told when mudding in high gear you could easily burn up your belt. Good video much love for you.

Glad you had fun. Nice to see you out of your zone a little bit and keeping an open mind with 4x4. You did great man. 9:04 my best advice to you though is if it’s not just water, hit it hard. I know it looks impossible but I promise if you hit that hole hard enough you’ll blast through it. You may be covered in mud along with everyone around you tho so be prepared lol. But above all, have fun. Nothing matters if you aren’t having fun.

You prob won’t believe this but I had a 2007 raptor limited edition and I use to ride mud holes and trails just like that on it Never got stuck once either mud and water everywhere but never got stuck I could always rock it out Was riding on itp holeshots at the time

I’m working on it now. The last few weeks have been pretty busy so I’m a little behind. I like to space out the dune content so they’re not one after another because it gets kinda old watching the same thing. Thanks for checking out the sportsman video 🤘

Glad to see you continue to branch out. People seem to miss that these 4x4 and sxs completely crippled the sport quad segment. Nice to see why some people gravitate that way. These machine are not just work horses or farm machines. May not be as fast around a track or trail but I can ride my 850 all day and I'm not feeling it in the morning like my sport quad.

@PeteHager 6 ай бұрын

It’s definitely a different style of riding but I’m down to try anything with handlebars. I’d love to get on a dirtbike eventually too. I think it’s pretty cool that manufacturers offer purpose made stuff like this. If only the sport quad market was strong enough to offer new machines.. maybe someday! 🤞

It was like 3-4 wash cycles at the public wash just to get the heavy stuff out. The wheel wells are so small with those giant tires. It’s actually a total pain to clean 🤪 I was super glad I went up for that ride, it was fun to drive that thing in the water for sure

It was about 50 degrees that day. The waders definitely helped but it kept me from being more daring since I didn’t want to get wet and be cold all day 😅 the whole mudding thing is definitely more practical during the warmer months 😬

@Tribe910TrySumthin 6 ай бұрын

Always 4x4 low when mudding my man. You will burn your belts very quickly in high. You can make your ride a little more comfortable by dropping your tire pressures down to around 6psi as well. Happy riding.

When you said the front end drops that's a big difference from a Can-Am the front end is weigh heavy on a Polaris from what I understand and that type of four wheeler setup is not even meant for trail riding it's meant for underwater mud bogging serious mud I used to have the Honda 400 TRX I haven't ridden in a while though I got ran over on my WR

What spider lake are you riding at also is it a trail system or private land

The beginning of this was on private land. Unfortunately they had told me to keep the location out of the content so the public doesn't ride in. The 2nd half of this was at Spider lake

Are you using the insta 360?

@PeteHager 4 ай бұрын

I have a 360 Max. I'm still learning how I like to use it. If I do another ride like this I'm going to get a longer pole so the cropping and perspective is more linear. I considered the insta360 but went with GoPro since I'm familiar with their interface. Both cameras look to be pretty competitive with each other 👍

336 mafia and Braydon price and Kyle someone I think they do a lot of riding like this and making videos they all ride the 1000 Can-Ams but they don't tend to like the Polaris but the Can-Ams are always burning belts unless they came up with some new to stop that from happening you got to kind of ride the four-wheeler like a truck that you would be driving through there if you are driving in too high and get stuck you can just put it in for low and usually back out and restart and that's what I mean driving it like a four wheel drive truck but you'll learn how to skim it send in it you'll learn when to crawl it you'll learn to float your front end and extreme left or right camber rides like you were talking about using your handle grip that's just a little bit of my two cents that you were asking about I was trying to answer a little bit
