Very nice!

I also have a 2022 sportsman 850 but it was bought for snow plowing I haven’t had a chance to open it up yet but I’m impressed

Thank you! 🤘

@@dirttraxtv I go back and watch all the old videos of the ATV'S and love them and I also have a 2018 Sportsman XP 1000 you made me buy and that was a hard sell to my Wife because of the 2017 Kodak EPS you made me buy the year before. Sorry I'm upset about you saying that the Grizzy started with the 660 but it started in 1998 with the Grizzy 600 and I have a 1999 Grizzy 600 that I got new and still running better than new because it was just to learn from the factory and my son in law is riding it now and my other son in law rides the Kodak and I ride the Sportsman XP 1000 so it works out great.

If you don’t mind me asking what did you pay for it?

I paid about 15.000 US dollars for it.

You're gonna love that KQ and it'll last forever 👍

whats the "more maintenance" and lack of quality on the polaris??

@@izom 4327 unnecessary grease zerks ,( some models don’t have any , or only a few I know ) and in general they just require more constant maintenance , fluid changes , quicker wearing items such as bushings and bearings . Quality ? After owning not one but two Polaris atvs it would take far longer than I have to text right now …busting front pinion plates constantly and destroying diffs , bushings that wear out in 1k miles or even less , dry seals and bearings from factory , flimsy switches , just poor fit and finish quality amongst many things . I loved the performance but they can do better , and should do better . But $$$ rules.

I love the way Polaris looks but all you ever hear is the negative from people and there is enough of the negative to make people step back and look at other brands. With that, I really want a Polaris but will likely purchase a KQ or even a nice used sport quad for a project bike, I did tons of research on Polaris before making that decision. I found that the best thing to do is go through the ATV before riding it, over grease everything and tighten all the bolts, buy new bushing and replace them as needed or right away before riding, and finally, there is a company that makes a grease kit that allows you to grease the bearings on the Polaris without having to completely tear down the ATV, and having watched some videos of people use that kit on their new Polaris with some or most taking 10+ squirts in each bearing, Polaris is sorely lacking the grease they should have from the factory. For the money paid, Polaris should have way better quality control. I've seen a few 570's about 2017-2020 come up for sale around here recently and they have about 5k miles on them. Too many miles for my taste on a used Polaris, but it shows they can last.

@@27Zangle Very good assessment ! Yea I agree it’s inexcusable about the dry wheel bearings issue . After owning one Polaris in the late 90s to 2000 I gave them a second chance on a 2019 1000 and the writing was quickly on the wall that QC was still a major long run issue . The KingQuad obviously does not ride as smooth and isn’t as fast , but it’s built far superior and silky smooth.

Thanks so much! 👊💥🎉

Fair enough. I actually kept your specific request in mind on my walk-around of the Outlander Max 650. Didn't have enough time in the review to cover this info but the walk-around is loaded with info so stay tuned for that. Know that your comment was taken seriously and I have discussed it with both Luke and AJ.

As weve said many times before, we cant comment on long term durability or reliability. We have these machines for a year and while they get alot of miles in that year, we cant simulate multiple years of useage. On top of that, we will NEVER report on other peoples information. What you hear in our videos is our honest, first hand accounts of what WE experience. Your suggestions about things like venting locations and other specifications like that are interesting though. Ill keep those in mind.

The S models are not competitors for the XP models. The S models are totally unique in the industry. Due to their huge increase in width, they can not be considered an actual step UP from an XP. Weve tested them and they are awesome. But a person shopping for a Sportsman XP isnt the same customer thats buying an S.

Same here 2019 blue love it

Is it still running? 🤔

@@jimh.412 My 2019 1000 runs great

@@jimh.412 Running like a too still!

Would love to review that ATV now.

I have the 2019 1000 XP It's insane.

Fair enough! We can't make your purchase decisions for you. We just give you our opinions and it is up to you to do your homework and make an educated choice before opening your wallet 👍

Seems same with their snowmobiles too.

Ey are still junk, about 3 out of 10 turn out to be decent bikes

I have never had problems with polaris you are just a honda guy honda 4 wheelers are junk

Just get a grizzly 700. Significantly lighter than the big offerings from Can Am or Polaris. With unmatched reliability. And it's gonna do all the same stuff anyways.

Absolutely! You guys got the Scrambler tho!!

It was a couple years ago that reviewed the "S". I think Luke's speaking passionately about this unit based on just getting off the seat. Can't get a more honest opinion than that 👍

Thats still true but it has to be taken in context. The S model is physically bigger so it doesnt fit on tight ATV trails the way the XP does. It also makes it a little less convenient when it comes to utility useage. If your looking for ultimate performance and suspension, the S is the way to go. But if your looking for an ATV to do traditional ATV stuff... with other guys who have normal sized ATVs, the XP might be a better choice.

@@pavmentsurfer13 I do everything with my ATVs….hunting recreational riding, working, cutting trails in the bush etc. considering all of that I figured the S was still the way to go. More towing capacity too right? Like you said in the review if a guy is used to a side by side which I am because I owned an RMAX, then the wider S wouldn’t be an issue. I rode with quads with the RMAX and literally went everywhere they did! 🙂👍

@@pavmentsurfer13 you would also be interested to know that I just picked my 23 Indy VR1. Looks amazing! 😍👌👍

Does that make the Polaris less impressive? Honestly, does it matter ONE BIT who had a feature first? IMO, Not at all. The overall user experience of any vehicle is not dependant on weather or not it had certain features before, or after its competition. The competition would simply have had an edge in a direct comparison in the years they had the features the others dont.

@@pavmentsurfer13 that’s a very good point, but with all the extra years canam has with those specific features it could’ve helped them work out any kinks and made it so theres more parts available. but you’re right they have equaled the playing field with that feature in a direct comparison this year

Thank you!! We def want to get more CFMOTO vehicles on hand. Your vids always get us pumped up to see what those machines can do on our home turf!!

ive tested the overland. Its a great ATV, CFmotos best for sure. However, in canada, the Cforce 1000 Overland is only $1000 cheaper than the Sportsman 1000 XP Ultimate Trail Edition. Im not saying a person SHOULD buy the Sportsman, but the difference isnt $5500 here.

My buddy just got one today a 2023 and it was 24k cdn all said n done 😭fn crazy lol

If we can get all these units on the ground at the same time we will make it happen!!

polaris's drive by wire is absolutely superior to can ams system. Its basically invisible meaning it FEELS like your riding with a cable throttle. I really dont like the abrupt and jumpy throttle response and clutching can ams big bore ATVs have had over the years. Polaris's performance mode provides far more immediate throttle response... to the point id say it feels a bit jumpy. Which again, I dont like. But, if thats yoru thing, it seems like youd probably like the performance mode on the sportsman.

I would say Polaris is much more stable comparing the highlifter and xmr because that's what I've had

IMO, it offers a more plush, controlled ride in the bumps, especially at speed. Ive always found the Can Am rear end to be a bit harsh and they tend to kick up on square edged hits. The Polaris sinks down into its rear travel more and doesnt get unsettled.

@Luke Lester yea this shows alot when doing wheelies my can am bounces like a mf

My advice is do your own home work and buy with your head and not your heart.

I hear that seen it at hunt camp few people with polaris sportsmans can't handle the rough terrain we have here but my 2002 kodiak is still going strong its hilarious 😂

Nnot cheap! $15,500 US and $18,500 CDN.

There has never been a grizzly made that has a better power to weight ratio. They're not very quick. Just seems like you never rode a powerful atv before, still very controllable and a lot of fun. Obviously when buying a big bore atv your number one concern isn't reliability. But for what they are, they are quite reliable.

Ive owned a 2015 outlander 1000

@@jakemccann2790 Ive owned all the Japanese ones current Grizzly never owned canam or polaris but have road them and ride with a lot of them and hands down they have more repairs and issues then the japanese ones polaris being the worst , my opinion is same as yours best rideable weight to power machine also quality cost is the Grizzly

Polaris would be my last choice on anything they build! Can’t stand them they don’t have any quality. This guy on this show is so Polaris bias, doesn’t matter if it’s a sled, tv, or a atv.

I beg to differ. I use all 90hp every time I rode it. Especially in the sand dunes with my large paddles. Even at the woods I let it rip on the gravel roads

how juvenile, all the questions.. polaris has factories in other countries too. they all do. who cares. they're all made by people and even if your polaris comes from a american factory, you can bet it has a lot of foreign components. not reading replies

Stock for stock no. Outlander 1000R would put 1-3 lengths on it in 300ft pending traction and equal launches .

It definitely will spin the tires on command pretty much anywhere. But the power delivery is much softer and smoother than the Can Am. Polaris has opted for more mellow clutching, which I VERY MUCH prefer VS Can Am who clutches their big more ATVs very aggressively. Sure, the aggressive clutching feels good when your TRYING to spin the tire or lift the front wheels (Both things the Polaris WILL do on command mind you) but when you just want spend a long day trail riding, the Polaris clutching is far more liveable.

😆

Hahaha... thanks man. I want one of those gas powered tricycle/gocart things guys on youtube are making. They look amazing.

really? i have an 850 scrambler and it rides like crap i find. not bad but not what i would expect, my 800 cforce cf moto honestly rides smoother, both are 2022s

Scrambler S is a wild machine. Want one really bad. 🤙

@@Dreamscythe1 I’ve never driven a cfmoto but it has half the travel of an xp 1000 s, I’ve driven or owned a 21 outlander xt-p with fox shocks, 2018 Outlander XT, the sportsman xp 1000 s, 21 Outlander XMR, 21 HighLifter, honda, Yamaha grizzly they all varied in quality but none of those compare to my scrambler, as far as the 850 scrambler, other than it shares the model name, comparing them is like apples to oranges

@@XMR_King ah i didn't realize you meant the S thats my bad. i can see it riding quite well. my cfmoto does have less travel than my 850 scrambler, i think it may be because on the 850 polaris cheaped out and put there plain jane shocks on it now trying to make people buy the 1000. the cf moto has house brand shocks but they are 3 way adjustable with reservoirs so that is probably why i find it rides quite a bit better

In actual hands on useage, I prefer this one. The Can Am shifter works fine, but its not as smooth or easy to use under load as the Polaris shifter. I agree though, polaris could probably style their shifter a bit better. Ill take function over form any day though.

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that

Yeah, it does have hill descent control. That's something that even my old '10 850 XP model had.

Engine braking on my 2019 Polaris sportsman xp 1000 sucked so bad it was dangerous.

@@joecatalano166 especially on snowy and icy roads …. Kick the ass end right around on ya …. That’s why i asked my question lol

Its not a good situation. And it needs to be addressed by Polaris immediately.

Without knowing how many miles he's ridden or what conditions he was riding in, its hard to validate this claim. I will say, that when run on alot of roads, the polaris tires do seem to wear quite quickly. But this is always the trade of of a tire with a softer rubber compound. Great traction, but less life. I suspect this plays a role in what your friend has experienced.

Would be a great comparo👍

Can am outlander are vary top heavy

Sorry to hear that.

@@dirttraxtv it was the same dealership. My fault. I'm sure they make great rides. Mine was problem after problem. Thank you.

Might not be for you, but they sure do sell a bunch of these.

Yet here you are, and nobody’s forcing you to buy one.

Yeah, this "fully loaded" Sportsman needs to come equipped with premium shocks too like the Outlander XTP and XXC.

@@dirttraxtv nevertheless, great content as usual.

The power steering does get shaky at fast speeds, but that's on the experience of the rider to know before he unleashes the power of the 1000

You can now choose to turn it down. So, problem solved.

No other ATV looks like this only Polaris has those lights

Then dont watch, ya bloke 🤣

*in your opinion

@@thehulk10 no everyone is clear on that

That pretty much sums it up right there. Poor little popo, see you in the shop.

Thank you for you opinion

Outlander is a beast.
