Is This The MOST CAPABLE Vehicle We've Run on Our Off-Road Course? Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S LE

[@jonmac3569]

You are not stuck until you can't move backwards or forwards, the terrain was just suggesting you take another line.

[@whodini2212]

[@bigseff23]

I almost can't take them serious anymore. They are the worst off roaders

[@dontubert2175]

How about trying an experienced Rider

[@valiant7357]

Not a very good rider

[@nicholashinton4251]

Its no surprise you spin when you deliberately bottom it out, and if you actually used the throttle the way its meant to be used you would never even notice the obstacles to begin with. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC

[@nathanperry4190]

When a machine is way more capable then the ride it shows

[@shanedevon147]

I enjoyed the part where they were talking about how it was a hard course, that was when i realized these guys were pretty new to anything offroad. There comes a point when you learn its a lot easier to give her a little throttle than it is to dig yourself out.

[@prepordietryin9119]

One thing I've learned when I watch people approach mud holes as they creep right up to it and almost sink themselves down into it. I figured maybe you were just doing it for the sake of the video but just regular riding I've always just went up to it and hammered it right through otherwise you get stuck. Almost every time.

[@craigweir2114]

Yeh have the 2020 version have nevere been stuck in such a small mud hole you need to be moving not stopping

[@andyarchitect]

I'd love to see you get an old retro workhorse Kawasaki bayou 400 4x4 ATV from the early to mid 90's, and run it around the course for comparison. I think it would do almost as well in the muddy bits. Would be super useful to keep on the ranch to. I imagine you could pick one up pretty cheap these days. Not a high speed quad, but great towing ability with the super low gear :)

[@Stuka87]

This thing is amazing. I like that it has a rear sway bar for added stability with the IRS. And I agree, the 2 cylinder sounds so much better than a thumper.

[@stingypaperwaffles]

Looks like it would be fun to ride, but these new 4 wheelers are so freakin big. I think I'll stick to my 220 bayou. It's great for my trail riding, it's small and nimble enough to get through pretty dense woods. And if I get hung up, it's light enough to just pick up and move. Plus I didn't spend more on it than any of the cars I've ever bought!

[@michaelschwab9563]

Haha Preach 🙌🏻.

[@neooverby3750]

I have one of these and love it. It’s far more capable then what I can do myself. Dunes mud nasty trails does it all and very stable

[@treyborgman263]

As an owner of one of these. The machine will do way more the rider was just not used to 4x4 atv riding not saying he’s a bad rider just new to this niche of atv.

[@prepordietryin9119]

Yeah definitely anybody that's rode ATVs a good bit knows they can do a lot more. I've actually seen a lot of videos online of people do this. They'll creep right into the mud hole and then get stuck in wonder why. We got a hammer through it and stay on the gas.

[@DUNEATV]

I wish Polaris would let me test this machine out at the Glamis sand Dunes!

[@ostacruiser]

I rode a scrambler S there, pretty dang fun lol

[@DUNEATV]

@@ostacruiser No shit! Lol I would image it would be!

[@arizonadirt3622]

That would be awesome!

[@jdfleetguy28]

Looks like the scrambler is now pretty much a stripped-down Sportsman. Sptripped down meaning smaller fenders and little or minimal cargo racking. If I were going to ride a lot of mud like that, I would rather have the sportsman 1000 just to have more fender protection from all the flying mud and debris.

[@louisjohnsonjr.4934]

You could have gotten out of any of that if you used the throttle. It wasn't really stuck at all. I live in Louisiana and we have really thick mud and I have the 1000S sportsman and I have yet to ever get stuck. Can't be shy with the throttle at all and I promise itll get the job done easily.

[@scottyellis3442]

Great video, carried me back to when I was a kid but back then it wasn't quads it was 3 wheelers, I had a 1985 Honda 350X & always had a blast on it. I was one of the few that didn't break a leg on having fun. They were some dangerous machines but fun also. 350X no helmet & running 75 mph through the woods.

[@zeke7142003]

That short wheelbase hurts when trying to climb out of the creek.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Indeed. I hope the person whom claimed the Suzuki Samurai could do that course easily watched this video. As in, not every portion is short wheel base friendly.

[@jessecameron7268]

That wasn't a wheel base issue that got it stuck. It was a rider who was trying to get stuck. Anyone who wanted to go thou that would have gone thou there with some momentum and been fine!

It’s not for that

[@chadmiller8019]

If he wouldnt have crawler through those holes he would have pulled right out for sure.

[@prepordietryin9119]

@@chadmiller8019 that's exactly what I just left to comment saying. I thought maybe he was just doing it to try to get it stuck at first. But I've watched a lot of videos online of people on four wheelers and no put right up to the mud hole in almost creep right to the center of it and then let off the gas and then crank back on it and dig yourself right in. You got a hammer through that mud hole.

[@Charles-gh1bw]

it's bad enough that you can't ride that 4-wheeler, but you're reviewing it anyway. Then make it worse buy not knowing how to operate a simple winch. its called free spool.

[@edwardclement102]

Buddy, it has AWD, as a twin 1000 it is a monster on a trail, would you give the Honda 520 with true 4WD and diff lock a try on the show. It is not as fast, but the lock should go over the log. The Polaris is AWD with 1000 power, the Honda is true 4WD with a locker, 4WD with a locker, and AWD with a big HP. It would be cool to see in the technical rough slow stuff.

[@Steph-lv5fg]

With ATV's speed is key since you have a short wheelbase all your wheels land in the sticky spots at the same time.

[@apsfst69]

Great machine, but should come with led headlights and a winch!

[@St.PierreProductions]

For that price tag,,, it should include a winch! lol

[@cameronf1460]

Definitely didn't get stuck. It woulda ripped right out of there if he just hammered on it for a sec

[@alanj7306]

Just bought a Polaris 2004 Magnum 330 this summer for $1,100. 18 years old, 2wd, nothing fancy at all, but I would tear that course up as well as your $18k unit.... I’d just be a little slower haha (and probably a winch from Tommy’s Demise also). I had to replace the original tires, but that was only $300 since I ordered them online and a good friend had the tool for us to do it together. It’s going to need some basic maintenance still ($250-300), but you can’t beat it for the money. I’d love to come up next summer and give it a go. You guys should really arrange an awesome off-road event for next summer!! That would be awesome!!

[@marklommer1384]

Yeah your 2004 Magnum 330 is not going to tear that course up like a scrambler 1000 lmao 🤣

[@bentleyadamdueck8673]

5:30 this is not stuck you can still back out. stick is not bein able to back out or go forward

[@nlken7175]

I love you guys but it show's your inexperience with atv's. It will shift easy if you inch forward then pin the brake, then shift.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

I'm continuously baffled as to why Polaris makes the CVT exaust so piss poorly designed on all machines bar the HL. As an owner, I had to relocate it. Seriously, a baby stroller takes on less water and dirt on trails than a Polaris CVT exaust. Other than that, love both Polaris's I've owned, an 850 touring and an 850 HL

[@Jvest18]

You really need to ride a can am renegade xmr 1000. Best sounding quad period.

[@ericmackison9517]

Not the best backwoods ATV. A Grizzly 700 or Brute Force 750 is a much better option for your course. It's too stiff and heavy for slow and technical trails. Still a really cool machine

Good to see you dressed more for the part. lol Bet you were far more comfortable in that get up than the last time you went through that course. 😉 And frankly, that is what you should be riding through that course instead of the TW200. The TW200 is a single line track bike, not ideal for that slop.

[@keithmorrison9372]

Hi there is a atv brand that's been getting alot of attention. It's CFMOTO. They have quads and sxs. I'd l.ove to see .you review some of them. They are budget friendly yet the quality seems very good.

[@Dreamscythe1]

i have a 2022 850 i turned into a mud machine, snorkels, rad relocate, 30s, clutches. lots of other stuff. its... ok. there is great things like power and riding position with the engine turned sideways it feels like a motorcycle with the narrow seat. but there is bad things to, the clutch cover is on the back of the engine in a horrific spot to get to. you need to remove part of the frame to remove the belt cover, its absolutely stupid. the drain is also very hard to get to if you had water in your cover. you mention the good foot boards, there cheap junk. dont drain mud out the holes are way way to small, i had to take a dremel and make all the holes bigger so mud drained it was so bad i would actually have piles of mud on the boards and you couldn't stay on the bike standing up you'd slide off. the foot pegs, well there is none basically. there cheap plastic and dont grip your boots what so ever, i had to install rox after market steel ones. you cant put risers on it, they put the gauges on the bars, it really sucks as for riding while standing the bars are to low. the fit and finish is not great, the plastic is all cheap and kind of flimsy, its really unimpressive for the price. I almost forgot the shifter, its in a neat spot but like all Polaris's it just sort of bangs and flops around, it feels really bad, they really need to go to a gated system that shifts smooth like every one else is using these days there is more small nit picks i have to but for the most part its not a bad machine, it just took a lot of money and work to make it into not a bad machine. from the factory unless your cruising fire roads all day its not great. The renegade is a superior designed machine

I'd love to have the machine you are reviewing for a different type of riding, but that machine does NOT have the "proper weight distribution" to be much of a muddy crawl climber. I am sure it could climb that with ease using a lot of speed, but speed climbs aren't always a true representation of what a machine can do.

Scrambler has 3 inch raisers on the handlebars, Scrambler XPS has more suspension travel in the front vs the Sportsman XPS. The Sportsman has 3 drive modes vs the 2 on the Scrambler. Wheels are 14'' on the Sportsman XPS vs. 12'' on the Scrambler XPS, the Sportsman XPS also has wider tires in the back 11'' vs 9'' and has a 2'' receiver hitch vs no hitch on the Scrambler XPS. Lighting is different, Sportsman XPS has double the dry storage in the back (8l vs 4l) and has 15l of front storage vs none on the Scrambler XPS. Rack capacity is 200 lbs front, 300 lbs back on the Sportsman XPS vs 25 lbs and 50lbs on the Scrambler XPS. Maximum payload on the Scrambler XPS is 290 lbs vs 715lbs on the Sportsman XPS. Different tires Duro Power Grip V2 vs Duro Power Grips II (yes there's a difference, and it's not just the wheel size). I'm sure I'm probably missing a few more differences...
