Missed ya Mikey!!! Good to see you. Great video.

[@pajamatime5750]

Good video! Nice to see the SxS blog guys throw in an opinion! The price was released recently and they’re very pricy! Polaris wants $15,000 US and $17,500 CAN for either one!!!

[@thehunter9149]

Pajama Time part of that price is it comes loaded already. They should’ve added a base model. For the S. There will be regular sportsman xp 1000 for you to chose from. It cost $12,000, and once you add the off-road package that gives you better tires and a winch, it bumps the price up to $13,400. So the S would most likely be around 13 or 14 thousand, but you get that extra stuff already on it.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Pretty scary considering almost all Polaris atv’s were under $10k 5 years ago.

[@ericcass7579]

@@ChuckBeefOG Polaris will get put in check when people don't buy that scrambler for $15k.

[@cameronwilson4782]

Eric Cass well everyone bought it

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Its good they are getting wider. The reason they break so much is the engines got so much bigger and stronger but the components have not. Eventually you have to increase the size of a ATV to make the components large enough to handle the power. The problem has been for a long time that the engine is powerful enough to break its drivetrain just using the throttle. Wider design equals beefier drive system.

Love the sxsblog guys! Good stuff!

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Awesome cameo by some of my favorite guys from sxsblog. I just wish these machines would stop coming with CVT's.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Agreed. I need to drive one of these but the brake config on theses are also very weird… would love the rear brake to NOT be located in such a terrible spot at the right foot. To get to it, you have to lose contact with the foot peg…on a 90hp machine…wtf? It’s accessible on the work machines but not these.

[@umadbrew]

Got me interested until I saw the price tag. 15k?? Can get a '19 Rzr for just about that price.

[@JackG79]

Xam get s Honda talon and turbo upgrade for the cost with warranty

[@cameronwilson4782]

That’s not the point, sxs are boring had a Polaris rzr turbo with 170 hp, quads are way more fun to me and 15k is worth this machine

[@umadbrew]

@@cameronwilson4782 I'm glad you added the "to me" part. To each their own. I used to trash SxS's too until I rode in my dads 2018 Can Am XRC maxx. Went and bought my own 2019 Can Am XRS RC last year and its the best offroad experience I can get. I still love my Jeep XJ and CJ. Quads and bikes are still fun. Nothing beats the SxS experience though. I also live in NV though. Dunes. Fast desert. Rock climbing and Mountain trails. Pretty much spoiled for terrain.

[@cameronwilson4782]

AyeR0N of course sxs have a crowd that likes them the best everyone entitled to their own opinion

[@eduardoortiz2131]

You should do a review on the can am renegade 1000

[@loganholmberg2295]

How do they fit in the back of a truck though? If it don't fit in the back of a truck box I don't see them selling allot of these.

[@Sylvan_dB]

55 should fit thru the tailgate on a fullsize truck, but you'll have to climb the wheel wells.

[@BigSam63]

It will fit in the back of any modern full size truck, just wont fit between the wheel wells

[@TeamWaxOffroad]

3:54 I know its prolly just the angle but the radiator fins look mashed haha

[@sterr1]

My shoulders hurt just looking at these.

[@casanova6283]

Scrambler is stunning!!!!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

This is just the beginning of a imminent evolution of ATV size. These 1000s stay tore up all the time because the drive system isn’t robust enough to handle the power. Engines kept getting bigger but drive lines stayed relatively the same. To increase the size and durability of drive systems the ATV has no choice but to grow larger. Watch and see...this increase in size is going to happen all across the board with any 1000cc quad. It’s a good move if they are going to produce reliable big bore ATVs. Until then guys will continue snapping axles and tearing up diffs until they get bigger and house bigger components.

Will this resurrect the quad market? I would have never considered one until now...

[@thehunter9149]

Matthew Garn what do you mean resurrect it?

[@mattg8116]

@@thehunter9149 it's no secret that the booming side by side market has taken a chunk our of the quad market in terms of utility, off-roading, and overall sales growth

[@thehunter9149]

Matthew Garn I always support the quad market. I didn’t know the quad market is down. Everyone I know goes for quads. Maybe a couple have a ranger or something. My uncle said he loves his ranger but he’s thinking of switching back to a four wheeler. I don’t think the quad market is down that much that it needs resurrected. It’s not dead. I doubt we will see the end of quads for a very long time

[@Holden-McGroin]

@@thehunter9149 Ummm, there is one manufacturer that is currently producing and selling a sport quad; Yamaha. I'd say that's pretty dead. The utility quads will always have their place, but I think most people, including myself, have decided that if I can only have one machine it's going to be a SxS. While it's a different experience, the SxS can do everything that a quad can do, but easier, faster, in more comfort, and better. My buddies on their 850 Sportsmans and Scramblers can't even come close to keeping up with my RZR XP1K, and they're very good riders.

[@thehunter9149]

Holden McGroin maybe sports quads, but he was talking about quads in general. Or at least that’s how I understood it. I’m not doubting the SxS are way better. My uncle has a ranger. Anyways I should’ve said he wants a four wheeler because of the convenience to get into tight places. He doesn’t ride trails or anything on the weekend, his is just used for work and hunting. He loves it, but like I said he needs something that can fit onto some smaller paths on the properties he uses it on.

[@73genius]

Look cool for guys out west. Won’t work in a lot of other places. What’s the weight on these beasts. I’d like to see how it hangs with my Rene 850xxc 48” with exhaust and ecu flash in tight north east trails. And what the f is a quad bike?

completely F'ing stupid. what are they trying to do, make them as large as a sxs?? I have a tilt trailer that fits two quads beside each other. NOT with these it won't. I have a honda and a sportsman. won't be looking at one of these new polaris.

[@tylerdm1842]

You act like the don't make regular sized ATVs anymore...just buy the 2020 47.5" wide sportsman (which they still make) if you your interested in Polaris

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@tylerdm1842 doesn't change the point. Why are they trying to make them as big as sxs? Their market is that they are smaller, more nimble, easier to haul, narrower for trails, etc. Why start making them more cumbersome?

Quit calling it a bike. A bike has two wheels. This is an atv, quad, wheeler, not a bike.
