[@sherriclark3041]

I absolutely love my new Polaris Sports model. At the age of almost 74 my need for speed and performance is as keen as ever. This bike is a red beast and performs incredibly well. It’s a smooth ride even in the roughest terrain. We live 6 blocks away from the mouth of our Manti, Utah Canyon so it’s just minutes away from a picnic and some trout fishing. We can throw on our tent and spend the night under stars. Wild life is abundant so what amazing views as we travel. My ATV is street legal and I use it to run around town all the time. Our town is pretty rural so no one minds an ATV on the road. We have the best of both worlds in great surrounding mountains and quick trips to the neighbors or the store. My new Polaris was affordable and the performance can’t be beat. This is our forth ATV each a different brand. I guess you might say this isn’t our first rodeo.

[@sherriclark3041]

I got the Polaris 570 EPS but forgot to mention it.

[@BrentRanger]

I have a couple 2003, 350 Honda Fourtrax FMs that my son and I drive.... When I first bought them, thought I was missing out because, well, they are only 350s. I drug a moose out of the bush with mine and have had many great adventures. Only thing I have done is keep em clean, change the oil and filters and the breaks when necessary...absolutely love them!

[@jims9447]

The Polaris 570 should be on the list. I've owned a Can Am and I would take the Polaris 570 any day. You can't beat the suspension that Polaris has.

[@hurricane8634]

[@treypichon7892]

For me, it would be hard to pick between the Kodiak and the Rancher. I own a 2016 Grizzly but certainly gave the Rancher and Kodiak some hard looks when I was shopping. They are both amazing ATV's with some decent features for a very reasonable and affordable price.

[@austindavis4816]

Mine isn’t new but new to me sort of, it’s a 2005 Polaris sportsman 700 twin EFI AWD. Kept in great condition one owner. All service records kept. Got it for 4000. Love the machine plenty of power for any property needs and trail riding/mudding

[@vbtom]

I definitely think the CFMOTO C-Force 500HO was left off the list and can't be beat with all it's features at an amazing price, EPS, winch, LED lights, hand guards and a top notch performer in the mud or on the track. I'm an owner of two of these, and I'm not affiliated with CFMOTO. Great ATV and a Great price, if you're looking you won't be disappointed. I was in a dealership yesterday and the 500HO is retailing for$6500. if you want a more basic unit the 500S is $6000 and they have the C-force 400, no bells or whistles, for $4400 I think it was. Again that;s retail

[@rickmanley767]

I haven’t put a dime into my Grizzly in six years, except tires and oil changes.

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

That's me.

[@GamingWithFusion]

Always had issues with my families Grizzly Limiteds. Overheating, starting issues, battery always dying, and even more. Then we've got a Honda and we haven't done anything to it basically. One oil change and one battery in 15 years of riding and that was just two years ago. I have no clue why they did so bad with the limited but it made my view of Grizzlys worsen. If it actually ran it would be so fun! But the Honda always tows the Grizzly back to camp.

Buck Simmons what year motel is it

[@alsinakiria]

@@prestonmcdowell1351 not sure what his is, but I've got a 91 Yamaha moto-4 250 that only now needs $100 in repairs. It's 30 years old. Also got a 2006 Polaris Sportsman that works great, but did need a new bearing last year. The trails in my area can get a bit rough since loggers just dump the branches and small trees in the trail so that's to be expected on a 15 year old bike in those conditions.

[@MidnightMechanic]

Kingquad, all generations. 4wd with locking diff standard, and on the first generation was mechanically engaged, no electronic doodads to break. Quads these days are going for CVT transmissions, which is fine for the new Kingquads, but if you're looking for something to shift manually, the first generations work amazing. A great quad for trailblazing, couldn't have made our backyard tracks without one!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Yamaha Kodiak is the clear winner here because of the 700 engine and superior ride and build quality. The Honda Rancher is a close second, why, because it's a Honda of course. The Can Am is right in the hunt, with the impressive features for the money. This comparison really shows that you can't go wrong with any of them.

[@jamesrinaldo7168]

The best spot on comment on here.! With ya 100%!

[@joshuasky2265]

When Canam made the push to more affordable Atv's to reach every corner of the market it was a step in the right direction for more sales. People don't want to spend much for entry level machines or work bikes so having an affordable base level model that can preform is a big deal. The outlander L and the defender went head to head against the Polaris 500 and the ranger which virtually owned the market for years. The oulander L is one of the best entry level bikes with added features of the more expensive machines such as the G2 chassis and the V-Twin motors. Canam is known for the build quality and attention to detail on their machines and the outlander L series is no exception

[@ab341atwar3]

I'm going to have to go with #4, the Honda Rancher. Its is my personal Favorite.

[@supplykayo3049]

Maniac Motocross finally, we don't have a dick that keeps saying "honda is the best".

[@shotgunz1248]

Also the king quad 500 and 750 should be in this list IMO one of the best Atv

[@bigd4055]

Yes

[@bigd4055]

Or the 400

[@kellyhay79]

I've always been a fan of Polaris but I do think the drivetrain and CVT of Yamaha is bullet proof. To me, the best value would be the least 'repairs', not including 'general maintenance'. There is a huge difference between 'general maintenance' and 'repairs'. Keep up the good work Dirt Trax Crew!!

[@swindy4x4]

I've owned Polaris, Yamaha, Suzuki, but hands down, nothing better than my Honda foreman I currently own. All around great machine at a great price.

I love seeing comments like this from someone who has owned the other brands and has a frame of reference. Thanks for your comment!

[@jamesrinaldo7168]

Agree to honda ratings. Disagree that its not yamaha on top. Lol

[@rrrrkoop2776]

i own 2 2014 polaris sportsman xp's, one an 850 one a 550, also a honda 2016 rubicon 500 and a 2017 can am 570 . Honda is reliable but i have replaced one axel. Can am is reliable and a fast 2 up machine , still like new because it is my wife's and i'm not allowed to ride it. lol . Polaris's spend most of the time in the shop or on the lift but they make the other machines seem so boring. nothing rides or handles or climbs like a polaris, period. But you do need the honda or can am to get you back home. lol. buying a new machine soon. either a can am 650 or grizzly 700. not sure.

[@db2631]

I bought a 2018 rancher 4×4. Couldn't be happier with my pick.

[@CumminsDriver]

The good thing is that all of them are plenty powerful and capable for about any task. They each have their strong and weak points, but over all i doubt you could go wrong with any of them. Compared to 10 years ago when everyone was buying hondas/suzukis/kawasakis, etc... with 14-16hp and minimal features, we have come a long way in HP and features, not that those old machines werent rock solid reliable.

[@alc2894]

Arctic Cat 500EFI should be on this list. Good engine and clearance with good standard features...my 2 cents! Good list.

[@striidy]

I do like the price and looks of the can-am. The Polaris is also a great value indeed.

[@ensleywyatt3957]

I can't speak for the Polaris...but I have that exact same year make and model to the t can am outlander and it is an absolute UNIT. It's a great beast of a machine. Can't stop it get it stuck had it up to the handlebars in thick mud(didn't know it was that deep when I ran into the mud hole,I honestly don't like putting it through that,but when I do it can handle it no problem.) I'd go with this over any other model on this list. I have after market hmf exhaust and itp wheels with kenda executioner tires. Other wise it's stock.

[@flackcat5928]

Great review. You should be doing this type of review every new model year for those of us that need to keep our budgets realistic.

[@siilko2586]

I personally have a 2017 Yamaha Grizzly 700. I have gone mudding/ on rocks/ on the road and put it though hell and back and it has never broke and everything feels tight. Love this thing although it was not a budget ATV its cost me $11k almost $12k but for that price i got what i was paying for. Complete under cage armor/ big tires with a 2-3in knuckle's on the tires/ high/low gearing and tons more. Never will I regret this buy.

[@hcvc88]

Good work! Now I wish that you make the same for UTV's, please. Best regardes

[@joshpierzina7648]

outlander l is a lot of bang for the buck, I also think that the Arctic Cat 500 core model would be a good contender for this. I think the MSRP is 6199 and it come with digital gage 4x4 diff lock and IRS.

[@jimlyons1874]

After looking at a lot of atv's over the last few months I just bought an Outlander l 570. It was a toss up between that and a Polaris Sportsman 570.I really like the smooth V twin over the single 570.Both had really great rebates so the price was right.I still like the Polaris and would love to have one.I do own an old Sportsman 400 that I bought in 2003 and wanted something better.I have had this Outlander for just a few weeks now and the more I run it the better it sounds👍

[@BigSexyVanMan]

I bought a new non-current 2011 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4x4 last fall for $4k, Still factory warrantied and everything. Would have sold for $6500 in '11... Can't beat the value on that!!

[@dickeyduggins3146]

I would have figured the cf moto c force 500 would have made it. low msrp ,but value rich! 2 up,winch,4x4/ w dif lock,and LED lights. Cf moto is a Chinese brand yes,but they are a strong brand,and you can't beat the upgrades.

[@H0MEDADDY]

My heart is with the Kodiak but the Can Am L and it's 5 year factory warranty at no extra cost is unbeatable.

[@jamesrinaldo7168]

Yizzle to the kodizzle, and grizzle!

[@rerod650]

The industry has come a long ways. When I first got into ATVs, a 300 was a mid size and hit most consumers value level. Now midsize is 500-700 cc and more impressive than ever. From the list given I would pick ether the outlander L or Kodiak. Another one i would look at is the Kingquad 500, fits the price range.

[@MrSamo001]

Good to see kymco getting better. I have owned a 500 before good quad for the price.

[@joakimsveenflatten4749]

[@davegreene1198]

My '04 Arctic Cat 400 manual has been plowing snow and hauling wood, draging brush and taking joy rides for over 15 years. Starter went out 2 years ago, but pull start works every time. Oil change if oil gets black. Hasn't failed to impress. Not bad 4 a 4500.00 $ atv. 5 ft plow has been all I need in Lakeville MN. Bonus is, my reckless son couldn't run thru the gears fast enough to kill himself.! Go Manual unless you're trail riding.

[@scottsprung5793]

My favorite in the list would be the Honda those things are incredible and even though it was the most expensive one on the list it's still a great ATV.

[@dakotacornelius8382]

I believe the Can Am outlander L is the best deal and if I bought I new one that's probably be the one I got.

[@ChiefTomahawkHandle]

Just purchased a 2020 Honda Rancher 420. Love it!

[@dirttraxtv]

Great little ATV. It'll last forever.

[@justinmartin9000]

My wife and I got the Kawasaki Bruteforce 300s. Two for $10,000 out the the door. Yes they are 300 vs all the ones that were spoken about in this video with the smallest I think was the 450? But, I feel Kawasaki Bruteforce deserves a mention for it's price and quality.

[@dargonaxenhammer4057]

I agree with your pick of Outlander L for buying new. It was on my list as a finalist, but I ended up buying a used Polaris instead. It is not easy finding a machine used that has not been abused at a decent price and I almost gave up and bought new, but lucked out at the end of my patience.

[@epicman23478]

I love the Polaris ATVs, but the Can-Am Outlander L has been getting my attention lately and it seem to have pretty great features compared to Polaris plus the extra horsepower is nice for getting work done with no compromise.

[@Davido50]

Can Am & Yamaha #1

[@absolutelynothing9636]

Well it does cost more so it would have more features

[@loganjensen2919]

You guys should check out the suzuki kingquad 400 asi! My family had a 13 year old suzuki quad and we have never had one issue with it! On this list my favorite is probably the Yamaha Kodiak, tons of power!

[@libertybarker7401]

Logan Jensen ****** why would we want a company that is OUT OF BUSSINESS?

[@TheCamaro5]

I bought a Brute Force 750 camo for 7500 back in 08 which has been a excellent and supre reliable machine that I still have but I looked online and the same atv with camo w/o eps is 9500. the only thing that has change is that now they run a o2 sensor with new computer control. CRAZY. I think out of the list above for horsepower per dollar the 48 hp Canam would be my best bet. And if you compare that to what I have they are nearly identical in price so not bad. Glad we got to see some atv's this time and not a bunch of rzr.

[@1dlively]

Great video, very informative. I would choose the Rancher, but that Polaris is most definitely on my "next to buy" radar.

[@bigtanderson3197]

I'd probly go with the Honda because it looks the best to me and you won't have as much maintenance. I'd get the base model with the foot shift, just because that's the cheapest and it makes me feel more in control

[@LegitWaffles212]

I like the 2016 Yamaha Kodiak 700. It has a good price tag for what you're getting. It has a starting price of $6,999 and is well built in my opinion.

[@jamesrinaldo7168]

Then you don't want honda, or can am! Way over priced! Yamaha is the way to go. Possibly artic cat too.

[@shaunharris4417]

the polaris sportsman 450 ho is the best buy, it's got everything you need and a nice power plant, I have the 2014 polaris 400 ho, great atv, in high gear it has a lot of horse power and low it's got tons of torque. I also have a honda trx250ex, nothing is built like a honda, you have to put up more cash for it but they last forever, mines 13 years old and I love it, I have never replaced anything but the carb and bearings.

[@andybassham2369]

This that this that. The best value ATV is buying like a 2007-2014 used ATV off some guy that lives in the suburbs, bought one because he thought he needed it, put 250 miles on it, then needed it out of his garage years later. As long as its not Chinese, its probably pretty solid. Thats your best value. Last 2 used quads I bought (granted a few years apart) - 2008 King Quad 450 - $3500 675 miles on it. 2007 Grizzly 350 IRS 4z4 - $3000 with 249 miles. A few years on both from the time I bought them, but the features I wanted in each, low mileage, perfect condition, and a ton less than anything comparable that I could have bought new. Just have to be patient and look. And sometimes drive 100 miles or so. Bought a 2020 King Quad 750 this summer, had to drive 180 miles to get it, but paid $2K under MSRP new. Yeah, I like the Grizzly 700 better, but not that much better.

[@manolognzz2651]

really like the Honda, love the yamaha tho. I do have to agree with your choice of atv's. I would go for the can-am also.

[@crosstiesbeagles]

Kodiak is a great bike. It has taken everything I have thrown at it and actually with an added set of itp wheels, 27 inch zillas and a warn wince I still came in under 7000. I love it and the best part is with a simple clutch kit u basically have a mini grizzly.

[@stuntman660]

I think you nailed it. Outlander L would be my choice.

[@bradgibson5250]

I think that the kodiak would be the best, just for the reliability of the Yamaha brand. It would be my pick of all 5. It also has the biggest engine so there is a plus there, though it may lack a little horsepower.

[@user-kz5th5bn3m]

Honestly one of the best quads was the banshee. The thing is a monster and you can get a decent used one for 2k or under.

[@danielbeavers8701]

These are hunting and off road 4 wheelers. The banshee is a raceing 4 wheeler. But i love them things. They are some monsters. You just have to keep them maintained. If someone wants to own one you better know how to change piston rings lol!

This is a very good list! I just purchased a new ATV and my two choices were between the Honda and the Can-Am Outlander XT 570. I opted to pay a little bit more money for the Honda even though I sacrifice some horsepower because I think the build quality was that much better than it is on the Can-Am. Maybe I'll get a Can-Am some other time.

Coleman at200- just under $3k (before taxes). Comes equipped with rwd, 169 cc engine capable of 9 hp, 7.5 tq, and a top speed of ~35 mph. It doesn't compare to more expensive models (obviously), but still is a fun little quad. :)

I have a 32 year old honda 350 and this thing has nevee broke down or gave me trouble.. And a 7k$ 850 Kawasaki breaks down ever ride..

[@wvangus82]

Can we submit an older one? My pick for best value ATV is the 1995 Honda Fourtrax 300. It's legendary build quality and no-quit attitude, coupled with it's low price of 7-900 dollars makes the fourtrax 300 a winner in value ATV's!

[@beezy7412]

my dad had 2 fourtrax's! a red 2wd and a blue 4wd.. they were great growing up... never broke down.. only flat tires an dead battery's lol usually from me leaving the key on after i got done riding haha

[@jacksonk5308]

I’ve never seen a ‘95 fourtrax that runs and drives go for under $1500 around here. You must be getting a hell of a deal if you can get one for 7-900 dollars...

[@Devlins10]

The rear break is fine in my opinion. The lever setting for the rear break can be easily tightened with the fly bolt bolt behind on the left side of the bike right above the final drive shaft. It makes a big difference. More Atvs need to have a two lever front and back brake system. Polaris should have done this long ago.

Can am is definately where it's at! The ride is definately a lot more fun and better than most others haha.

I'll drive that thing until the engine explodes and maybe after that too if I can still find one somewhere.

[@destinhook3826]

King phantomounus and it’s chinese. it won’t even last as long as a polaris.

I went with the Honda Rancher. I felt like it was better investment over the long haul. I would have to say it was very hard not to buy the Can Am when we were at the dealer. The Outlander is a sexy beast!!

[@ddailey5378]

I recommend the polaris. I have in and it a beast. it my be a 570 but it does a great job for the work. I'm a farmer and it handle all task the I put it up again. awesome machine.

cfmoto 500 ho eps at 5999. best value and has dif lock.

[@destinhook3826]

Joseph Palermo chinese bike for the price of a Japanese bike. big rip off

[@adamkasper7866]

you guys should do an atv giveaway that would be the coolest thing ever

[@dirttraxtv]

That would definitely be the coolest ever!

After my utility tractor was stuck in themud too often, I decided that another approach was called for. In looking over the used market , and as well the dealers/service locations, Honda has a clear edge, That being there are "not" a lot of them in the scrap pile, and "lots" of paces to get parts and things fixed.

The ATV overlooked was the Honda Rancher 420 ES... with bullet proof life expectancy of nearly 20 years and a price of about 5500.00 leads me to believe that if maintained properly and used properly it will well give you your money's worth dollar for dollar alone with Hondas 1 year warranty which most of all tested quads only have a 6 month warranty I feel if they are willing to trust it I can too..also look for used ATV s and see which brand is for sale and how long it's lasted...I've seen some Hondas as old as 1989 year models....this made me give them a serious look before I made purchase...not saying you would keep it that long, but you wanted too you should be able too, thanks!

[@UMadBro1100]

Cf moto should be in this list they are cheap and have all the bells and whistles

[@pitkinweldingfabrication7573]

I agree cfmoto. Their 400 is $4k the 500 if $5k and has some nice features

[@shirtsdawg1053]

I hear they have trouble with shifter ... came close to buying one but heard of this problem and went with Foreman 500

[@breaubarile262]

I found the Polaris Sportsman 450 a great value for the price

[@unknownwolf4046]

I have a 2013 Polaris sportman 400 HO I had it 7 years only has 1,800 miles AWD i traded my old Honda 250 It was 2WD i was thinking of trading my Polaris for a yamaha or a Can-am

[@Gone_rn]

Just buy a used pickup for the same price

[@bigqueue]

I just bought a Polaris 450 and it is a GREAT value! (of course, it is now 2019....so things change)

[@alfredbotfield3313]

Liking the Can Am L 570 myself. Just wish there were more dealers in the Philadelphia market.

[@espymanriquez4637]

2016 honda trx250ex 👍🏼

[@jamesparmenter6894]

I think yall should of looked at the Polaris 570 EFI Sportsman base model. Great video guys,keep up the good work.

[@Packinheat1175]

You’re absolutely right. The cost has gotten out of control. Considering a 1000XMR is almost 70% of the cost of a Honda Civic is crazy. You can’t even compare R&D costs of cars vs ATV / UTVs yet a UTV will cost you the same as a reasonably used Jeep that you can do a lot more with.

[@diversedad7954]

Talk about budget-I just picked up a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 with 85hrs and 350 miles on it for $2,500! It's got IRS, front locker, digital display with fuel guage, lots of storage, and a 3500# winch. If you look at the used market hard enough, these deals can be found. I drove 3.5hrs one way to pick this one up. The real kicker is I started with a super cheap crappy atv and kept buying cheap ones and trading up so technically I've only got $700 in this one and it looks and drives almost like a new one! I have always loved Honda but for the money I don't know if you can do much better than Polaris if you're looking for a mid range full size.

[@thatsnotmyname4080]

where is all the suzukis i know some of those atvs that were abused and are still running perfect

[@j.d.2977]

You left out the CF Moto Cforce models and the Coleman Trail Tamer 360/500 both companies offered "value" entry-level 4x4 atvs that I looked at and under $7000.00 US

[@gagecook2024]

That's like 7700+, Canadian. They are a Canadian channel so the prices are Canadian.

[@allonm5968]

I agree with your choice. Reliability is also a factor why the Can Am is number 1 and Polaris is number 2.... Love DT please give me the hat :-)

[@slickmongercash7788]

Easy answer, the sportsman etx. Why? because the 450 model is actually a etuned 570cc engine. Swap the computer module for one from a trashed rzr or sportsman 570 and you have the the exact same bike as a factory 570 with 44-45hp. Exact same. The polaris on demand AWD with the 570's power is all most will ever need.
