So they pit a 549cc vs 421cc that's a 128cc difference. Polaris should be ashamed of themselves. I thought the little Grizzly did quite well considering how much smaller it is. Hey Polaris try your luck against the Grizzly 550 and see how well you do!
step 1:got to the yamaha website step2:go to the grizzly 550 step3:go on competive comparison and watch the grizzly 550 vs the sportsman 550 step 4:watch the grizzzly dominate the sportsman
I've never really ridden a Grizzly, but had plenty of sportsman experience over the past decade and it's pretty clear this video is sponsored by Polaris. Not a fair comparison at all.
Why wouldn't they put a Sportsman 400 against a Grizzly 450? They didn't show the part where the XP's control arm tabs break off the frame or the part where the ADC "plastic" bearings break and don't work or the part where you "quick" change the cvt belt, buried in the chassis. Truth in advertising?
ok pause the video at 6:27 and look on the side of the sportsman you can see sportsman 850 EFI so either the 550 thing was a typo or their trying to make you think that the sportsman in this video is a 550
The guy talking about Can Am's?! You kidding? Haven't seen one yet without a broken frame. The dealer sells you a reinforcing plate to cover the cracks. Where does all the oil in the air filter housing come from? Blow by? Yep.
polaris is so much better than yamaha. polaris has a one of a kind transmition that beats any other tranny. Plus polaris' struts help the rear end suspension. and the polaris has a bigger seat for better confort and more passengers. And, you can have a lot of cargo from the Lock-and-Ride system only available by polaris. also, when you loose traction, it automaticlly locks in all 4 wheels. yamaha, you have to put it in 4x4 (which only powers 3 wheels) then lock the differential.
this is a polaris ad video if you want to see the grizzly win watch a Yamaha ad video every company does this and they always win because its their video I have a sportsman 500 oh and for the people saying the only way they win is because they always use a bigger CC then the competition watch the sportsman 500 vs Honda foreman fair fight Polaris still wins
Ive had a Polaris they're not what you want in an ATV i would suggest a Yamaha or a Honda, any day of the week. Polaris are to fragile you will like it when you first get it then BAM you have got a lot of problems with it.
i bought a sportsman 400 ho, BIG MISTAKE, gear clash ,water in the drive system. went back to the dealer with the problems and he was a complete ass hole.the quad has 24 hours on it and133 miles. a 2013 $7000 waste of money.
this is so stupid they act like it is so much better you are comparing a 550 and a 450 of course it has more pulling power its a 550 not a 450 if your so confident polaris test a Grizzly 550 FI Auto vs. this gay polaris and see who wins.
WOW.... every polaris vid they show a 850 sportsman vs 700 grizz or a 550 vs 450.... the only way they win is putting there bigger class utillity agianst yamahas smaller utillitys and yamahas smaller ones are just as good if not better.... pathetic
@cadceddddd Yeah dude don't you love it when people do this ignorant shit? Like ohh our 550 Sportsman is better than the Grizzly 450. I'm pretty sure Grizzly makes 550's too and i'm pretty sure the reason this isn't a fair fight is because the Grizzly is the better quad. I've never ridden a Sportsman but I love my Grizzly's. I tear through just about anything in 2wd even though mine is a 4x4 and it is only a little 350.
HAHA You have to compare a polaris 550 with a Yamaha with one hundred horse power less? Nice try polaris. Yamaha beats polaris hands down when it come to reliability and deep water tests. Not to mention polaris soaks you through the nose in price. Keep trying polaris your all covered in mud.
polaris sucks.... and always has yamaha is the best brand iv ever seen... and this is so stupid putting a 450 vs a 550 no fucking dip the 550 is going to win and thats the only way they can win is buy doing that

step 1:got to the yamaha website
step2:go to the grizzly 550
step3:go on competive comparison and watch the grizzly 550 vs the sportsman 550
step 4:watch the grizzzly dominate the sportsman
Who wants an ATV that the fourwheel drive system kicks inn as soon as the rearwheel spin?
I've never really ridden a Grizzly, but had plenty of sportsman experience over the past decade and it's pretty clear this video is sponsored by Polaris. Not a fair comparison at all.
they chose that because that was the only 500 class atv yamaha had at the time
What a ridiculous test.... Polaris has no chance against a Grizzly 550.... What BS

Notice how the sportsman is new but the Yamaha is Ike from 2007
they hating on the 450 lol im sorry but the only thing the sportsman can beat the 450 is the speed..
the rear wheels only spin if the switch is in AWD if its in 2wd it will just spin the rear wheel
The guy talking about Can Am's?! You kidding? Haven't seen one yet without a broken frame. The dealer sells you a reinforcing plate to cover the cracks. Where does all the oil in the air filter housing come from? Blow by? Yep.
@gaah
Seriously? Yamaha does have a 550 Grizzly. The Sportsman is nice, but the shootout is ridiculous. Not comparing apples to apples.
The 550 Should Of Gone Against The Sportsman 550 Plarois Was scared Ha Ha

he said the sportsman beat a foreman and it was a fair fight.... that was a fair fight against a honda not a yamaha.... it doesnt mean any thing
now u get a 550 with efi and eps and the polaris would be crying to be let back in its cave
Using a Yamaha 550 would have added at least some credibility this obvious advertising video. As it stands....apples to oranges.
this is a polaris ad video if you want to see the grizzly win watch a Yamaha ad video every company does this and they always win because its their video I have a sportsman 500 oh and for the people saying the only way they win is because they always use a bigger CC then the competition watch the sportsman 500 vs Honda foreman fair fight Polaris still wins
not a fair fight the spotmans a bigger quad bigger engine of course its going to pull more but put a grizzly 550 in there and see who wins
You have some truth. But Yamaha talks just as much shit as Polaris does, everyone is just trying to promote their own products to make money.
you said a polaris beat a honda.... that was against a honda not a yamaha still doesnt prove that polaris is better than yamaha
of course u have to stop to go to 4wd the button and throttle is on the same side
an u put a 550 vs 450
get the yamahas 550 then see who kicks ass
the sportsman 570 does - hahahaha
You dont have to have 4x4 on demand always on. U can flip it offf
If polaris can`t win the right way, why even try cheating?
if you watch a polaris 550 vs yamaha 550 by deenimplant it says when you engage the diff lock on the griz the EPS cuts out well thats bullshit
First get a 550 second Polaris has a horable automatic transmission the belts break and they slip
Ive had a Polaris they're not what you want in an ATV i would suggest a Yamaha or a Honda, any day of the week. Polaris are to fragile you will like it when you first get it then BAM you have got a lot of problems with it.
Put the grizzly 660 or 700 to it lmao
Unfair comparison. Obviously you are bias. Yamaha is better. A 450 vs 550 isn't fair
can you please shoot the grizzly for real and test insurance?
i bought a sportsman 400 ho, BIG MISTAKE, gear clash ,water in the drive system. went back to the dealer with the problems and he was a complete ass hole.the quad has 24 hours on it and133 miles. a 2013 $7000 waste of money.
woooow check 6:28 they tested the 850 not the 550 fucking polaris
ive seen a grizzly 660 with 55000km so
everybody can see that this is polaris's advideo. like if yamaha is million times better
thats against a honda.... not a yamaha
this is so stupid they act like it is so much better you are comparing a 550 and a 450 of course it has more pulling power its a 550 not a 450 if your so confident polaris test a Grizzly 550 FI Auto vs. this gay polaris and see who wins.
