My Can am rear storage is used for emergency gear. Jumper cables, tire plug kit, tools, and more. I don't need these every day so I'm happy with the rear storage.
I have a 2021 Polaris 450 with 1000 miles and a 2018 Polaris 450 with 1600 miles both have been flawless machines, I am not against can am but the local dealer I don’t care for while I like the two different Polaris dealers I deal with, so to me that is the big thing, go talk to your local dealers and find one that you like, also one that has a good service department and for me a parts department, because I like to do my own maintenance. There was one comment about the Polaris shifter and hitting it with your knee, I have never had that happen, I am 6’1 250 lbs and my kids are all tall, and we all trail ride in hilly rough terrain and this has never been a complaint, we don’t mud ride much but don’t see where this would matter? Also when shopping be careful of dealer fees compare dealers prices, don’t worry about monthly payment, find out total price with fees, but remember all dealers don’t charge same fees, and the ones who charge high fees usually have service departments that are trying to screw you over to
The Polaris dealer in Mansfield, PA seems to only be interested in stocking the high margin units. Seldom does he have the base units in stock. There's got to be rea$on$. Because of that, I chose not to buy from him.
I work at a local dealer that sells both units, both have their problems so its really personal preference really when it comes to that atv or sxs you really want. both have plenty of power and get the job done, but the can am is a lot easier to work on if that helps anyone with their decision.
I would have liked to hear them running. The muffler location on the CAN-AM is interesting. I wonder if there's any notable difference in seat temp when riding.
Good video, but your bias toward the Polaris is obvious. Have both, and the CanAm is definitely the better quad, IMHO. The Polaris does have a better ride, but the Outty out pulls, and out does it on the trails.
I’ve owned a few Polaris ATV’s and have been told that Can Am is pretty similar as far as quality. So I guess it just matters which you like more as from what I’m told quality is very similar
@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Can Am will last longer than Polaris. We've had several Polaris (including Rangers) on a farm in NZ and we thrash them properly. Use them all day every day just about. We get rid of every Polaris after the warranty runs out, cause they're not built to last, but the only Can Am we've had has lasted twice as long as the Polaris. Still had to fix a few things on it, but not as much as the Polaris. Of course if you're just gonna use it a bit and not all the time then they'll last way longer, so not as much difference
I’m an A tech certified master of BRP and Polaris and you should correct your statement. Both are great quads, but Polaris is much much easier to work on. BRP is like Audi, much more over engineered.
Hey bro, TYVM for the education. I m new to ATV world. I m planning on buying one shortly. Having hard time deciding amongst CAN AM, POLARIS, HONDA N YAMAHA... DO YOU work at ATV dealership?
bean counters at Polaris took away: brush guards on drive axles, leaving PCV boots exposed, grease nipples, glove boxes, metal oil reservoir replacing it with plastic and who knows what else? maybe they went with cheaper softer metal on critical drive components. I honestly wonder if they didn't choose a cheaper metal to cut costs. That bean-counting mentality strips away at a product's quality. Once bean counters go to work, it really makes me back off a company's product.
Bought two Polaris 570’s and two polaris 450’s two years ago, all 4 have some kind of issues, nothing major just things like the dash cluster flashes on and off like there is a short, another one will periodically just stop running during idle not while under throttle, one keeps fouling the spark plug. Like I said nothing major but all have been into the service department to much for my taste, I’m prob going to give can am or another brand a try never owned anything but Polaris
So you have to compare an upgraded Polaris model to base Outlander to make it fair? And you ignored 2 big items that suck on the polaris. The gear shifter is an asinine design. Hits your knee sticking out like that. Also, the gas tank is high, and fill is under the handle bars. Hard to get too. Hard not to make a mess. Outlander gear shift is out of the way. Gas tank loe under seat and fill on rear fender. Easy to access.

They should be flawless at this stage, hardly any miles on them, you'll see which is better when you 8k on them

Wow Polaris seems better in ever way besides HP

Which are brought in more for service?
@eric89q polaris in the side by sides, can am xmr atvs are most common needing repairs
Good to know, thank you!
@eric89q you're very welcome. Also i have known a trend where polaris has to have engine replacement after like 5 years or so.
@@apocalypse4720 damn I shall stay away from them

u miss the mark pilgrim. U did not mention the 450 is HO. And it really is almost 500 cc on the Polaris.
We made sure to cover the HP numbers. We all know you can have a big engine and no power. LOL

Yeah, if you like riding a Jeep you will love an Outlander. They ride like crap.
canam seems like a better option all the way
It is

In what universe? Other than the 5hp dif the Polaris is on top

Nice review keep up the good work happy holiday to you and your family
I never had much luck with my can am 1k !! Love the quad, but it doesn’t love me
I have a 2021 sportsman 450 ho base model and love it

I have both quads for me the can am is twice the quad the polaris is hands ✋️ down in almost every way
can am is better?

go with the Suzuki. The mechanics and dealers all say the Suzuki is the best quad.

All good points. Lots to compare on each model. We tried to cover as much as possible in under an hour. LOL Thanks for watching!!
i dont think youre understanding. a couple bars dont matter in this comparison.
I never had a problem with the shifter hitting my knee. And if you can’t fill that tank you have problems I never spill gas on mine.
Can-Am Outlander Best
Sorry thats not dry storage up front on the polaris bud we own one and everything get wet up there when it rains PS great video
Buy a CF Moto, you get lots of bang for your buck and you won’t be disappointed.
polaris is the way to go
I have the 450 it’s a pos
@Aiden Fulton that sucks😂😂
Polaris sucks nuts
Can-am is better
The choice is easy….. I’d buy a Honda.
I'll race ya!
@@JackRabbitOffroad tortoise and the hare my friend.
Forgot to mention polaris's are junk and break down all the time 😅😮
Get a Honda. Solved!
Buy Yamaha and call it a day
Don't they make Piano's? Seems like a Sportsman or Outlander would be alot more fun! ;)
@@JackRabbitOffroad there fun until they start to break and trust me they will break and all your Yamaha buddies will be out on the trail …
450 is not a lot of quad😢 I'm assuming cats out at 55 mph
Polaris all day every day.
