TEST RIDE: 2017 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000

[@bmfbonny1696]

I can not understand why people always discuss which is the better machine, a Polaris or a Can Am. Everyone has their own requirements and experiences. I love my new Sportsman XP 1000 my buddy his Can Am. So what's the Problem? Have a nice day, great video.

[@RWWRENTAL]

sportsman in rock crawling....can am in mudding. Ive done both and have both. AWD is a HUGEEE advantage vs a visco lok when rock crawling but for some reason can am handles better in the mud when I lived in Florida. I now live in Colorado and seen accidents bc CanAms visco lok

[@tinman7159]

There sick machines!!!! They ride better then any other atv. 4 wheel capability is outstanding.. BE SAFE ON THAT 1000 THOUSAND MONSTER YOU HAVE, HOLY CRAP LOL

[@tylerrusty1122]

Honestly, whatever machine you like to ride, Polaris are softer, more gentle, but still super fun machines. And Can Ams are more hardcore, rough, brutal machines, which some people like. But whatever fits your fancy.

[@ComfyDadShoes]

I’m openly jealous of all the terrain and trails these guys get to ride. The drifting looks so damn fun

[@crazyflyboy30]

I have a 2018 Sportsman XP 1000 I Love it in every way. Had it over a year no problem.

[@getwrecked488]

The best keeps getting better.....

[@dankruger2890]

My wife has a 850 touring and she let me ride it and I simple can't believe the power these machines have compared to my 05 mv700. Just insane amount of power at hand. Polaris was smart to putting a mode for work and standard riding for those of us who just don't need that kind of power but like to have it once in awhile. I just got to say WOW

[@DirtObseXXion]

We have the '18 model on Dirt ObseXXion!... It's a beast, still breaking it in but got ride videos and a warning about washing it!!!

[@markbuck9299]

I bought the same quad in 2017 !! Love the colour of the Matte cooper and it has been a great quad

[@Xtronicon]

Welcome to the comment section where people are talking crap about the best ATV ever.....

[@driftersgonewild710]

The arched A-arms are really cool. All youll need is mud tires and its mud ready!! Cant wait till Highlifter comes out with there version of this. The tail lights look sick too

[@marcuslane5481]

We have one of those and the power it has is insane!

[@crazyflyboy30]

Not sure were you got your info on the exhaust but I have had mine off and tested it and it's not stainless steel. But it's no doubt the stock exhaust is Tuned because it has a better flow than a RJWC exhaust .

[@bradleygoodrich5569]

That thing flys... Shit ton of power. I think id be happy with the sportsman 850

[@Bwalt1]

I remember back when the sportsman 700 was the most powerful atv with 45hp. Haha good times

[@JohnnyRebKy]

makes ya feel old doesn't it lol. I can remember when Polaris made the original 400 2 stroke Sportsman and i used to drool over one. Then at the same time the Honda 300EX was the most popular and fastest 4 stroke sport quad. About the time i had the money to buy a 300, Honda drops the 400EX on the scene and it was the hottest thing on 4 wheels lol. I bought a new 400ex in 2001 and rode it for 10 years. So much has changed in such short time. I think quads are so big and powerful now they self destruct if you push them a little. Its not like the old days when you could bang on a Honda Fourtrax for years and never break anything. I got a hunch thats why Kawasaki wont go bigger than the 750 brute Force, Yamaha stays with big single cylinders, and Honda....well thats a different story. I think the Japanese decided they woud rather keep the reliability instead of competing for Horsepower

[@joshmars1047]

JohnnyRebKy I had a 400 xplorer 2 stroke it was an amazing machine

[@crazyflyboy30]

WesternOutlaw I remember my first 110 3 wheeler was the biggest.

[@hutch2811]

I have an 850 and a 500. Absolutely love them

[@biged420]

You guys should really do a review on the Polaris BIG BOSS,,,,would love to see a review since I might be purchasing one....

[@99zman]

and yet still the 1 foot tall shifter!!!! COOL, FML

[@thesman259]

I would love to see a long term cost comparison for repairs for this bike vs the outlander 1000dps

[@JakeTG]

Stevo Wade Definitely would rather get this reliable machine than an outlander, did anyone ever tell you how ugly they are too?

[@crazyflyboy30]

My Sportsman XP is 4 years old and only thing is tie rods and that's most likely because I'm running 4 - 27x11x14 XTR.

[@gunnerbradford4370]

Please do the Polaris big boss 6x6 we would love that

[@macarows4014]

Incredible driving!

[@matts9352]

arched a-arms are great, now put skid plates on them... you won't make it 10 minutes through Pennsylvania woods with out something protecting your CVs

[@blakew1026]

Every time u say it sounds great u never really put in any audio or its muffled need to improve that. Other than that great vid

[@Deerector]

But why didn't they redo the Tourings like this? Doesn't make sense

[@tokslut]

you don't say anything about the Fox shocks the 2016 had vs these ones with no shock adjustments. why is that?

[@Officialjimibaur]

Can u make one about the canam renagade xmr 1000?

[@izom]

great ride!

[@joelsauceda8178]

will they make a sportman touring on this new body not sure if to wait for it

[@kcatv9556]

Nice review my buddy is thinking about getting one of those!

[@ZachManZ71]

Should I sell my 15' RZR 900EPS & buy this?

[@kirbyvanduzer6565]

I bet the price tag isn't nice even though the machine looks cool the maintenance bill must cost a mint

[@sandykollmann4970]

I have the 2015 1000 sportsman bought in the fall of 2014 I have a little over 4000 miles I have replaced the belt not because it blew but because I wanted to, but not one other repair nothing but oil changes and air filter and gonna need a set of tires soon, oh joyride moto they need 131 hp to bet the 88 hp mine has

[@tokslut]

Time for a review of the upgraded 2019 1000 ;)

[@thehunter9149]

tokslut they look good, but I’m still a fan of the 2017-2018 better

[@tokslut]

@@thehunter9149 Isn't it the same design on those?

[@thehunter9149]

tokslut sorta. A few minor details in plastic. Tires are different. The 2019 tires a really cool, but I would prefer the lighter tread. Color is another difference. Still wish they had copper and red, I don’t like the base model blue on the 2019, and apparently few people do. Which is why you see people getting the premium which has metallic blue which is pretty good

[@tokslut]

@@thehunter9149 I was more interested in the CVT uppgrades that have been made :) Black is the color for me!

[@thehunter9149]

tokslut that’s nice to. I would love black as as well.

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

I've got a 2015. I wonder if the 17 model gets a better front diff. my pinion bearing plate blew apart. if it's the same then anyone's first upgrade should be a hd Atv Gear pinion plate. if you break the pinion plate you have no choice but to trailer it out of the Bush or the front drive shaft that is always turning destroys everything close to it. 1700 in parts to fix mine. warranty did not fix it.

[@ronniesollitt902]

Ernie Desjardins i got mine done on warranty 2015 with 700 miles had front diff new props and uj's darent use it now in case it goes again

[@zack6892]

The 17 supposedly had improved but still cast pinion cover. 18s have been fixed with heavier duty steel pinion covers.

[@tinman7159]

Love polaris , have them .. but common how much more power do you need to splat like a bug on a massive tree if you loose it.. wtf.. my 850 HO is brutal enough power wise ..

[@tinman7159]

I miss represented I have a 800 HO NOT 850.. WITH EXPLOSIVE ACCELERATION.. 1000 CC YOU GUYS WILL END UP ON THE MOON IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL LOL..POLARIS #1 PS LOT OF GREAT MACHINES OUT THERE TO!!!

[@JAKE3914]

Are these rubber band (belt) driven...or shaft?Nice video BTW.

[@soundnessofmind7196]

Can am needs to come out with a new frame that's wider and has higher quality shocks on the outlander. Right now sportsman rides much better

[@tokslut]

Dirt trax television: how big off a difference in the shocks from the Oulanders Fox shocks?

[@tokslut]

Was it that hard to answer?

[@jonathandispirito4005]

I know what I want for my birthday ..lol

[@justinbiggs1005]

I want one for my birthday this june. However I'd likely hit a tree and get myself killed the day after. Lol.

[@atvr3994]

Polaris is the best

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

what are these new tires called. they look like they work real good

[@lauderdalechad]

Ernie Desjardins maxxis viper

[@br5495]

Polaris please put a gated shifter on your atv's for the LOVE OF GOD!!!

[@loveracing1988]

Everything up to 2004.5 had a gated shifter. It depends on your usage, for plowing (the reason they went to the drum shifter) it is awesome because of how fast and easy you can go from low to reverse.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Toooo True! I don't mind the shifter as much as I thought but still, they figured it out on the Scrambler...

[@hectorhernanguevaradavid2254]

Polaris is a automatic industries

[@ChristopherGuevara-cv2wy]

Polaris is an automático brand

[@jackouellette4028]

Damn, this thing is awesome

[@drakeslocum7361]

Is this the same as the scrambler

[@jakub5772]

Most beautiful atv

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Sickest atv on the market by far

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I won't buy another one until they ditch the awd system for one I can control as I please, or add a manual override option. I don't like a machine deciding when it will and won't be in 4wd. AND....apparently Polaris cant keep a front differential going on them. People are breaking front differential within first few hours like its the PLAUGE. Huge problem.

[@jsmith1654]

i agree i had a 450 and i hated the awd

[@jsmith1654]

and starter, plastic rack, electrical problems

[@aaronfrankum8941]

You might as well look at a different company. Look at Arctic Cat if you want a 1000 or Suzuki for a 750. Personally I can't wait to see a King Quad 1000.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Aaron Frankum id have bought a Brute Force 750 if i could have afforded it. Sportsman 570 new was 4600 bucks out the door so i couldn't pass it up. Hate the AWD system though

[@jsmith1654]

wow thats dirt cheap and they do have a smooth ride il give polaris that

[@davee6161]

It looks like an awesome machine, but I don't care for the gap between the headlight pod and the body. It just looks weird.

[@justinmiller2183]

My dad has a sportsman XP 1000 and he lets me drive it and that thing is wicket

[@jacksonrabon4817]

Wow cool much fun

[@bmfbonny1696]

Good video!! Like it.

[@shilosheena]

nice machine but can't afford the repair bills and parts that come with the Polaris stuff

[@mikeross6043]

shilosheena you're right , with big power comes more repairs , up keep and break downs . Put 7000 miles on my grizzly with no hiccups . It's fast enough

[@shilosheena]

Mike Ross I got 9500 on my 09 grizzly. I would buy a new one. but it's still a great machine

[@rockwilkinson8224]

Let's just wait till can am comes out with a 131 horsepower atv

[@megcroft9236]

Joyride Moto by the time that happens polaris will have a 140hp

[@megcroft9236]

Kevin Maxwell I guess the quad is just under $2000, and you won't have to worry about shot bills unless you get a can am, or Honda.

[@megcroft9236]

[@colbyleenewton8975]

JaketTG Honda’s are the most reliable fourwheeler around you don’t know what your talking about dipshit

[@603wolf5]

Colby Lee newton honda is shit there overpriced over rated and underpowerd they cant compete with ANY other brand

[@Roostertailin]

So a guy submerged his Honda TRX300, and it started back up without draining the water. Hondas are definitely pieces of shit. No not really.

[@eemilholck4285]

wow

[@behrlock]

I like the cargo boxes on my 2013 better. There’s almost no room in the front cab now and the rear storage is accessible from the top of the rack not from the rear. So if you have a box or some sort of luggage on the rack, it has to be removed first. I prefer the old style rear box access for recovery gear, even if I flopped it completely upside down I can still get to some recovery gear. Arched A arms are cool but the suck for mounting guards Lastly, glad they upgraded Exhaust, I run Hot Seats mine.

Newer honda's arent the best, but buddy had a old fourtrax 300, the frame was rotting out of it and it still ran strong. i ride yamaha myself, had a 2001 grizzly 660, one of the toughest damn things ive owned so far, now i have a 2016 kodiak 700, love it. and ive rode polaris, a few friends have them, and what i dont like about them is their throttle, i find they arent as nimble as the grizzly and kodiak on trails, and in the mud, yamaha has them beat with the manual diff lock. just my opinion. (and yes ive rode many brands of atvs, kawasaki, can am, polaris, honda, etc, id take a yamaha or can am before anything else)

[@mikeross6043]

Kodiak700SE I ride Yamaha and Suzuki , no problems and I put 7000 on a grizzly , 11000 on a damn Suzuki with just basic maintenance .. They're fast enough
