Thanks for that video man, that was great info. I've ordered just like it, can't wait to ride!
You will love it!
Great video! Thanks for doing this video, much appreciated!
Nice job on this video. I have the same unit on order. I had a 2018 570, so I am really looking forward to getting it.
You will love it! I’m heading back to the trails this week 👍
Have the same ATV. I did a similar CVT exhaust mod like you did, but with ABS plumbing.....routed to the same spot. I also sorted out the front storage cover issue so it seals much better. You can find videos about that on my channel if you are interested. Overall we love ours and my wife rides it most of the time....I got the 850 for myself. Thanks for sharing the video
Excellent! I just subscribed to your channel, I’m looking forward to watching your videos later this evening. Glad you guys enjoy your rides! 👍
I went for my first extended ride today on my 570 Trail. Here are my thoughts.
Loved the Power steering on the trails but not so much at higher speeds.
Loved the Power, seat and the down hill mode.
Foot brake is not responsive.
I have 25 miles on it and can't wait to put more on.
It's an eye catcher.
Thanks again
I tried the active descent mode this weekend and was impressed. I keep forgetting to try the foot brake 🙄 Thanks for the solid feedback, and keep enjoying your ride 👍
@@JimboP-Outside I'm enjoying my 570. Is there any way to post a picture of it. I was wan to show my mirror and phone holder.. it turned out pretty cool
@@Kip4500 excellent! Glad you’re enjoying your ride 👍 I would like to see your phone holder, but I’m honestly not sure how to post a picture here
@@JimboP-Outside I will try and post a video and send you a link
Jimbo, here is a link. ua-cam.com/video/DQLURT4TLmY/v-deo.html
The battery section is not in the "dry" section of the front container. If you look at the seal, it runs around the front of it and it is totally fine to get wet.
Yes, plain to see. But plenty of water/mud gets into the non-battery section too. I have to pull the rubber grommets in there after every ride to let the water out. And I don’t “submarine” my vehicles. Plus it’s very easy to see the gap in the seal when you close the lid. Terrible design. Must have skipped quality control and gone right to sales.
Great idea putting the light bar where you did. Think I'll be putting one where you did when I pick mine up. 👍
High mounting the lightbar is smart, especially for plowing snow.
Thanks for showing me this.
The water hitting the battery is actually a very alarming point.
I have had my 2021 570 eps since March and i love it I did go for the upgraded led light kit from Polaris and the lights are so bright I don’t even think I need a light bar , I did also do a snorkel mod for the exhaust on the cvt , still waiting for parts to do the intake next
Excellent! Glad you enjoy your ride 👍 When you complete your intake mod, can you let me/us know? I haven’t started yet…..been riding instead 😃
@@JimboP-Outside will doo
This machine looks really up-market. It's a beaut.
Thanks for your honest opinion.
I do find the steering too light . Even my friends and family (all longtime quad people) feel the same.
The suspension probably one of the best in class.
Had it for 3 years and had no problems at all.
Hope you will enjoy many trouble free rides...😊
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍
I was wanting the mirrors and hand guards together. Dealer said you could not install both together.
I've got the same model and year.
We have to fix the mud and water draining on the battery.
Bang on for the CVT setup. Polaris needs better intake locations and waaaay better exaust locations. My 850 had the same issue and I made a video on fixing it too.
You think your baffled by the Bluetooth, I paid $16 CAD for my touring, website said Bluetooth, no Bluetooth??? Sorry, it was a site misprint. Why, $16k give me the stinking Bluetooth lol
Unfortunately though, Polaris reserves the good 99% water tight front storage for the 850 and 1000. And yeah, zero excuse for the cfmoto floppy quality of the pivot point. Though I do like that my touring can swap the storage out for a regular rack if I was doing property work.
Great review. I'm looking to get one if I can find one. Do you know if the 850 and 1000 have similar intake and belt box problems with location placement? Thanks.
I believe the 850 and 1000 are different. In fact, i believe there are other 2021 570 versions that still use the former exhaust.
@@JimboP-Outside Thank you, interesting. Time for some research!
Do they still have the ancient on demand drive system
I have owned several POLARIS sportsmans and the base model is all you need no power steering the only thing that I would add on is a winch in case you get stuck a winch is nice
one thing i wish was the switch cutouts were larger and there was more aftermarket support
Cvt exhaust revamped for 2022, the front storage is now hinged with metal pin and lock downs are compression latches.
Excellent!! Guess I bought too soon.
Super clean bike man!! 🔥🔥🔥
I have the 2021 570 premium with Warn winch i special ordered for it, you gave a great review buddy, and I'm with you, I don't abuse the machine, they're not cheap to buy or fix, and you can have blast without abusing them
Thanks bud! Agree completely 👍 Enjoy your ride!
Well done evaluation. Fair and thought provoking.
Thank you 🙏
If you don't mind me asking how much was it out the door? I never bought a new atv before and just don't want to get ripped off.
The dealer took $500 off of the $8,999 MSRP. Then I paid partial sales tax since I traded in a wave runner. So about $8,700 out the door except the accessories which I bought online afterwards.
I have a 2020 CF Moto 600T. It came with a bunch of stuff, cost a lot less and I like it way better than my son`s 2019 Polaris Sportsman 570...the 570 is a beast of a machine but I`m spoiled by my rig. My son has water in the beltbox problems occasionally but I don`t have to deal with that. We`ve had to fix a few things on his like a failed brake line in the rear. We ride very similar and we ride the same trails together so, I`d have to say I got a better deal for my needs...
Thanks for the video
nah bro
@@pickleeggs3340 you're entitled to your opinion
I would guess that you are brand loyal
I had both, and bejng honest the cfmoto was kinda junk, spent way more time in the shop the my polaris did, I'm trying a kodiak next
@@LiamG903 yup you should...

Can you explain how you got both mirrors and hand guards on. Please.
They actually went right on per the directions. I'm not sure why Polaris says on their website that you can only have the hand guards or the mirrors because it's not true, you can have both without modification and per their own instructions. The mirrors just wrap around the handle bars like on a regular bicycle. The right hand guard attaches to the bottom of the throttle housing, while the left hand guard attaches to the clamp that holds the brake handle on the handlebars. In both instances Polaris supplies the hardware necessary to screw into on each item on each side.
As a 2006 Sportsman 700 owner, mine is a beast and still runs great. A team mate of mine just got a '21 570 and I was incredibly disappointed. That front rack flipped up is junk, it now seems to be held on by a couple of plastic pins. It has a huge void where the rear storage was left out, he paid around 11K! On the first day running it after delivery the clutch shredded the belt and now its back at the dealer.
Sorry to hear about your teammate’s machine. I agree with you about the front rack, seems to only be decent when closed. And I still don’t understand why they removed the rear storage just to leave a gaping hole…..unless of course, to save themselves a few bucks. I’ll keep this one for a while, so far it’s been reliable. But when I’m ready for something else I’ll be looking at the other manufacturers.
Was he doing the break in procedure correctly? I know if you really push it hard when the machine is brand new the belt can burn
My 23 570 EPS has high med. and low for the EPS electronic power steering. Comes from factort on high. Only had a few days but i prefer medium but high isnt bad. Hold down mode button scroll to adjust.
I don't want the trail but I was going for the eps model. Thanks
I have a question cann you ride like 100 miles full sped straight ? Cann you do theat with atvs ? Im loking to buy one polaris or can am cast deside yet
I suppose you can, but I’ve not tried myself. I ride trails in the forest which don’t really allow for full speed straight aways.
I hope to have mine in a few weeks.. Thanks for the video.
I just bought one today with 0 money down so I’ll be over paying about 5,000 but in the long run but the fun I’m about to have in Colorado will make up for it
Got it
@@Kip4500 awesome! I love mine and even tipped the first day lol I’ve been to Rampart Range and Slaughter House Gulch here so far and couldnt be happier with it
Now we are checking all the places to go in Alabama
so in your opinion!! would you buy the bass 570 or is it worth the extra money to get the trail?
For me it was worth the extra money. My reasoning is with the Trail you get the nicer wheels, nobby tires, and front and rear brush guards. Plus I like black 😄
The intake that water and junk travels in🧐that's unbelievable. Let me know if you find a way.
Can u show us how bright the new leds are? On the ak off-road page it shows some dim and some bright so I’m just confused.
Unfortunately, I threw out the stock halogen bulbs so I can’t do a before/after. But I can take a pic at night of the new LED bulbs from AK.
@@JimboP-Outside that will work just fine, I just want to see which one is brighter, I have the same four wheeler with halogens at the moment, if you could just do like a little review video of the lights. Like do the bulbs first then the light bar to show how bright they are.
I’m sure people would want to see a review
UA-cam is just finishing "processing" my video, I made a demo of the LED lights. Should be public tomorrow....
Since this is a trail version, with a newbie perspective, shouldn't this machine be equipped with A-arm guards and skid plates ?
A-arm guards for certain, that’s on my list.
I just bought this exact bike. I love everything about it except…it feels slow to me! I’ve had it up to 62mph but it took a long time to get there. Maybe I’m just used to sport quads gitty up.
I guess it depends on what you’re looking for and how you ride. This certainly isn’t a “quick” quad, I agree with you there. For me I bought it to ride trails and when I do I’m usually in low at relatively slow speeds. But that’s just how I ride.
Do not forget your tiger tool bearing greaser . The best
To adjust the chrome plated fenooker valve?
@@JimboP-Outside for wheel bearings
You have 6 months to give it back??
Did the rear bumper come with it? I just ordered the 2022 model and they told me it doesn't come with the rear bumper.
Yep, rear and front bumper came standard on the 2021’s. Although mine came with the old style halogen lights, I think the 2022’s come with LED’s. Perhaps the trade off was the rear bumper for the LED’s.
@@JimboP-Outside ya the 2022's has the LEDs. Fingers crossed it comes with the rear bumper. Unfortunately I will not see the machine until late February to early March.
So does everyone who has these really have problems with the cluch exhaust and intake?
or is it just preventative modding
Tough to say with certainty……I’ve read about a lot of folks having an issue, but the question is what percentage of owners experience this? 10%? 50%? No way of really knowing. For me it was preventative.
As glossy as the paint is, do you feel like it scratches and shows scratches easily?
Yes, it scratched literally the first time I washed it. Part of that is my fault, I was using a sponge that was old and not in great shape. Still, I have surface scratches all over it. Everywhere.
Where did you order all the parts? 👍👍
The mirrors and hand guards I got from the Polaris store on Amazon. They were in stock there at the time. The led bulbs/light bar combo I got from AK Off-road: ak-offroad.com
So... If you will notice .. the battery is not part of the DRY storage. Everything else the rubber seal goes around is actually sealed. Just my observation
Yes, you’re right. One of my points was that relocating the battery, although much more convenient, doesn’t keep it out of the weather. And if you’ll notice, everything inside the rubber stripping is wet as well. That’s the section that Polaris calls “dry storage.” It isn’t dry, not at all. Every single ride I’ve gone on, just trails, one puddle and in the water goes. This is not “dry storage” and should not be referred to as such. Polaris has even installed drainage plugs inside this so-called “dry storage” area in order to let the water out.
Thinking of getting this.
It has it’s cons, but definitely worth it. It’s a cool/fun machine. 👍
What tires came on your machine? They are a very good looking tire!
It came stock with Duro Power Grip
@@JimboP-Outside perfect thank you! I'm a huge fan of bighorns tires and these seem to have a similar tread pattern but a little more aggressive!
Noticed you had mirrors on it at the beginning of the video. Are those the Polaris ones? Thanks
Yep, they are. On the Polaris website if you build your ride with these mirrors they say you can’t have the hand guards too. No idea why, as you can see I have both and both are from Polaris. Both installed exactly per the instructions. No issues at all.
I put mirrors on mine also. I went with a cheap bicycle mirror but it looks cool and worked well.
Do you know if they fixed those issues on the 22 model?
Hey Troy. I don’t know for certain. What I’ve seen in terms of differences between the 2022 Trail and the 2021 Trail is that for 2022 Polaris removed the rear bumper and added the LED lighting. I personally haven’t heard about other major changes. All in all, this is a great machine. I enjoy it. Just gotta stay on top of some things.
@@JimboP-Outside
Thanks its definitely a sharp looking machine!
Bean counters at Pollaris got rid of: aluminum oil reservoir replacing it with cheap plastic, brush guards from drive axles removed, grease nipples removed, glove box removed, who knows what else we don’t know about. Keep it, Polaris. I chose Suzuki.
Hallo from balkan europe 🖐 I m sorry because of my poor english 😎 nice machine..I like it..do you maybe,just maybe now what is the mielage(fuel consumtion)..Litr/100km. on the asphalt,nice open road 2wd relax ride at 40mph??
Hello Ivan, nice to hear from you! I'm sorry I don't know the mileage. When I go to the trails I ride for about 1 hour and 30 minutes and usually use about half of the tank of gas, or around 10 liters.
@@JimboP-Outside Thanks bro!! 🖐😎
I agree that some of the design issues are a problem with Polaris ATV's. Too many zerks to greese, and many other maintenance issues. If I had more mechanical skills I wouldn't mind a Polaris. Tires look great, the power steering is light, and most agree the ride is great. Regardless, no ATV is perfect and all have their own issues.
Very well said 👍
Grease zerks are a good thing.
What are your rims size?
Wheels are 14 inch, tires are Duro 26 inch.
How much put the door? I was quoted 13,500 on 2022
$9,193 which includes freight to dealer and dealer setup fee (but not sales tax). Keep in mind I bought it over a year ago.
Have you considered a Grizzly 700?
I always wanted a Polaris, but next time I’ll be looking at all manufacturers.
I have the exact model i got it into some mud for some hours and it got so stuck, after that it doesnt have enough strength to move the tires. I agree with the problems and i had the 2020 eps version stock and it was the best i had it was stronger and was way better than this one. So regret getting this one.
We have these in my country im buying Polaris Sportsman 570 2023
Getting rid off the rear storage/toolbox was a dumb move, no doubt.
You forgot to mention that polaris chooses to use the cheapest bushings they can find along with cheap wheel bearings that all will need replaced within the first year if you ride regularly.
Suzuki you can’t kill.
For 9G. It should be dry storage!
Totally agree. If Polaris says it’s dry storage, then it better be dry!!
Looks better stock
The storage is dry just your battery is not sealed
Agree, the battery is exposed. But the storage is not dry. While there’s a rubber seal that surrounds the storage, the lid has a gap in the center area closest to the pod. Every time I’ve run my machine through the trails, I come home with water in there.
@@JimboP-Outside good to know thanks for the update. Yes the battery up high i like. that is definitely better than the old 570s by the diff
Sounds like you had more hates then loves. I have a 19 and I love mine
I don’t think so. It’s just that the hates are very specific and easily identified. In fact, for 2022 Polaris fixed most. So it’s not just me.
letting my nephew and my neice Sara have my Polaris 2006 500 and my dad bought me 2015 Honda Rancher irs dct eps shes beast and sexy & fast love thumb shift it hits 60-62
Nice! Enjoy! 👍
The downside to Polaris AWD is that you can't have it anytime unless left on. It won't engage unless your under 3k rpm, and even then it seems to only be around 18kmh or less. So if you need it going 50kmh/30mph, ain't happening.
That being said, otherwise I thinks it's the best or a very close second to a typical 4x4 with locker.
I have a 2012 polaris 500ho, 2014 Polaris Sportsman 850 HO (wifes), and a 2021 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 trail. All of which certainly engage awd above 3000 rpm. We would never make it through a mud hole otherwise lol. And they are deep and I've had my 1000 spinning ties at 50-60mph in deep thick mud with 31in system 3 XM310 and it definitely was spinning all 4. Something must be wrong with your machine if it's not working
@@extreme4kgaming266 Polaris states it won't engage unless under 3100rpm. Which isn't very high and with the engine braking, your basically fairly slow.
Nothing is wrong with my sportsman and it's the same on both the 2020 HL and 2021 touring.
It also won't disengage until the rear tires regain traction.
I don't know what your doing, but mine do exactly as Polaris states. And it has not and will not engage at speed because of this. I love the AWD, but the lack of engagement in a pinch means plan ahead.
All 3 of my machines work the same. It isn't recommended to turn it on with rear wheels spinning freely it says that in the manual but then again you can kiss any transfer case goodbye if you do. But it most definitely will work above 3100 rpm.
my buddy has the same atv and the power steering box gear are super loose, thing has no engine breaking low power on 28s, not impressed at all i feel like its complete junk compare to my suzuki kingquad 750 and honda rancher 420 and suzuki quadrunner 250 4x4
doesnt feel safe on hills, steering way too light doesnt feell good at all above 25mph but your not really gonna be going fast on a atv anyways
Good video, but you’re wayyyyyy to quite on earbuds.
Turn them up! 😉 So is Rogers heading to Washington or staying put?
Your dislikes should make Karen's around the world proud!!
🤣
Rather go with an older version. I don’t trust electronic 4x4 switches. Would rather have a lever to mechanically engage the 4x4. But thanks for your review.
I guarantee u. Will never drive at night. Putting lights on is a drain.
I already have. There’s a park by me that hosts an evening ride an dinner.
An ATV sld never be that clean.
