OUTSTANDING real world comparison, boys! I say the BEST on the internet, my friends! VERY WELL DONE!
Thanks BROKNEX you're too kind!!! We still have a few things to compare on em, this one was primarily about rider experience. I'm just glad Flyin Brian drank the kool-aide and bought a wheeler! SXSs are cool and everything, but there's nothing like riding an ATV!!!
Love the bloopers at the end. You guys rock. I enjoy all your videos. Always straight up and tell it like it is. Nice work guys!
Thanks Patrick! We really appreciate that!
That was a really well done comparison guys!!! One thing I noticed it looks like you guys are gonna have a blast doing some riding!! Yeehaw!!
Thanks KC! You're right about that! Good times are a comin!
real world machine comparisons from local riders.... gotta like it..!!
Thanks Doc! Good to meet you today!
These are the two machines I've been trying to decide between as well. Thanks for the great review guys!
Thanks for checking us out!.. We've reviewed each a little more in depth more recently too.. Both have some advantages and disadvantages depending on your intended use... fyi, I just had to replace front diff seals, ball joints, and all the bushings on the Sportsman after 1200 or so miles.. Not a huge deal, but something I'd have wanted to know before deciding..
Good video, good reviews. I think comparisons are better when the riders are familiar and honest with each of the machines and not just payed to talk them up, great job guys.
Agreed! Thanks brother!

@@flyingbriando5521 LOL
Great job you deliver exactly what people want to see, a no bs review, can't wait for the next video.
Thanks Mark! We're having fun with both em!
Best comparison on UA-cam, got a new subscriber, thanks for the good content , keep on wheelin 👌👌
Thanks for checking us out! I was fortunate enough to ride in the ATVonDemand shootout too, that video should be dropping in a few weeks
Man I like this, you guys aren't afraid to tell it like it is! Appreciate it guys!
Thanks brother! That 850 SP will treat you right for sure!
Amazing video. I ride a lot of rocky trails here in Colorado. So I still feel that the Sportsman & it’s comfort would be best for me. The fuel economy as well. There is so many long trails out here. I don’t want to be taking multiple gas cans with me when I go ride. Thank you for making a real world no bulls*** video. The ATV UA-cam community is in debt to you. I look forward to watching more.
Thanks for the kind words! Sportsman is definitely more comfortable, no doubt about that.. We're just happy when anyone watches our vids!
Petroleum Dynamite
I believe we’d make vids even if nobody watched, we have WAY to much fun out there!
Flying Brian DO, I have a lot of fun riding. It looks like even more fun to make riding videos.
Purchased my 2021 sportsman xp1000 trail two days ago, your video has me pumped for my first trail ride tomorrow!
Have fun brother!!!!
How is the XP 1000 treating you and how do you ride? Your advice may save me $$$ in headache ;)
Great informative video guys! Love it!
Thanks!
Damn good video best comparison I’ve seen between the two in real world situations and honesty you can’t beat that. I love both machines and I believe you be happy with either one.
Thanks dude, we’ll keep everybody updated on any differences we see between the two. They definitely have their own personalities
We ain't trying to be media, we're just well fed fellas who like wheelers. LMAO!!! Thanks for the continued support my friend!!!
Always oh yea got some good news but I will let you guys know about that in hopefully a couple of weeks. Oh yea what is a good brand of helmet
I've watched this review before and just did again. You guys are great. I used to have a Sportsman 850SP and I was blown away how good it was on gas compared to my buddies with Outlanders. My 850 used about the same gas as my friend's 650 Outlander. An other guy with an Outlander 1000R XTP used a lot of gas. It was a total pig, especially with a load of camping gear on the back. My 850 barely used any more gas when I had a load of gear on it. I have a Commander 1000 (Not the R model) and it uses less gas than my friend's Outlander 1000R. That engine seems to be extra thirsty for some reason.
Thanks again my friend, it really does drink it up!!!
What an awesome comparison. Manufacturers should be giving you one of everything to compare like this. Very meaningful things to compare, the stuff people actually care about. I agreed with all your comments, and knew it was gonna be awesome when you actually mentioned the 2” receiver. That wobbly 1” garbage when you actually use it is a joke, but they do it for liability.
Thank you very much! It means a lot when people appreciate our vids!!!
This was a superb review guys!
Thanks for checking it out!
I purchased a 2021 Sportsman 570 trail. My second 570. I just like a Polaris. I’d say you can’t go wrong with either of these models! Thanks guys, great comps!
Lookin at the same machine, any issues with the new 570?
@@bruddamelon9803 No problems, the price is better than an 850.
Awe this is devastating results on the drag race.. we've got to find a way to keep Will from seeing the drag race part! We will never hear the end of it!! Haha
Awesome video guys!
LMAO!!! I actually let off a bit just so Will would feel good about himself.. Y'all don't really believe the CanAm won do you??? LMAO!!! Thanks brother!!!
@@DirtObseXXion hahaha!! ahhh that makes me feel better lol
@@LCPowersports Make sure to tell Will... He needs to know I threw three races just to save his ego... I'm kind of a hero really... Lol!
Hey guys nothing happened in this video that surprised me especially that drag race. : )
Oh boy.. here we go
Great comparison. I look forward to all your videos. These two quads are so close that the only reason I went with the Polaris is the Dealer. The Polaris dealer has awesome customer service and the the Can Am dealer was rude. A good dealer can make a huge difference.
I agree 100% We have the opposite problem here, Can Am dealer was great.. Had to drive WAY outta the way to buy the Sportsman.. Thankfully the only question I had on the Sportsman was " what can you do as far as price" -The guy knew nothing about ATVs, yet still asked if he could help me when I was looking at one 🤷♂️
Great job on putting this comparison video together. Really enjoyed how you guys give an honest & straight forward review. I've had both these machines so I can totally agree with your comparison. I've always said you won't beat the XP on ride and you won't beat Can am on power. The only part I was surprised that you mentioned was on fuel economy. I always got more miles on a tank with the Can am then the Polaris. But I guess that would all depend on riding style and setup of the machine. I used low gear much more on the Polaris than I do with the Can am.
I do most of my own wrenching on these machines, so I can go on and on with their issues. But as of late. Can am has been putting out some pretty shitty quality. In saying that, once you can get past fixing Can am's issues with lot's of $$ with aftermarket products. The fun factor of the Can am is very addictive. That's something I can't say about the Polaris. I've tried doing several aftermarket upgrades with the Polaris with minimal improvement. For example in your video I'm assuming both machines are in their stock form. Polaris already has one of the best clutches in the industry while Can am has the worst. Upgrade the clutch on Can am and instantly you get a huge performance boost.
In my personal opinion. Polaris builds a better machine and Can am has a better motor. Both machines are fast and both have more than enough power to pull you out of any mud hole. With that said, be prepared for the carnage that follows having more power. Once again, great job on putting this video together. I think it should be very helpful for someone looking into buying a new machine.
Thanks Frankie!!! Love hearing from fellow youtubers! I think the size and power is more than enough now... Wish they would focus more on durability now.. I think the 19 Sportsman is the most refined ATV Polaris has put out... They worked through several consecutive years of issues to get there tho..
Damn good job! Love the regular guy who actually rides perspective. Really good review
Thanks! Had we known this video would have done so well we would have put more time into it... I was a test rider for ATVonDemand's recent shootout between the two as well.. That one took significantly more time 👍
@@DirtObseXXion Time was good the review was solid no bias or B/S like alot of channels. Straight to the facts and your honest opinion. I sub to ATV, keep it up you'll grow fast
@@04tsxpower Thanks! It's awesome to hear the positive feedback!
Great vid, you guys seem to have a blast riding
Thanks man! Good times for sure! It's our favorite thing!
Thanks for a real world honest comparison. Please keep us informed to dependability of each bike. I've owned both brands and ride a Yamaha now because of certain issues so I'd be curious how these two do after a few miles. Thanks again and I'll be watching more from you guys in the future I hope.
Thanks for checking us out! We will definitely be doing updates and ride videos on both..
@rjnixon1061, what are the issues that made you switch!? Appreciate it!
i really like yalls videos so yea im gonna subscribe
Thanks brother! Much appreciated!
And awesome Job boys on the comparison looked like it was allot fun to make this video
Definitely a good day.. We left some stuff out though.. Might have to do a part 2..
Is Brian wearing his pajamas with a hoodie over a hoodie? LOL. Great video guys.
Great review guys. Good real world stuff
Thanks!
Nice review guys! I've always found the Sportsman to be confidence inspiring with handling and by far the most comfortable machine out there. The AWD system works well in most situations except in icy conditions due to rear wheel only engine braking. It can be scary. I find the Visco Lok works well in trail riding but in technical conditions it often takes many revolutions of one wheel before it kicks in. Everything has their pros and cons I guess. Keep up the good work fellas.
Very well said! The Sportsman has scared me a few times on steep descents in slick muddy conditions.. ADC is better than just AWD with engine breaking though.. The Visco is definitely good for trail riding.. We had to try to get it out of sorts..
@@DirtObseXXion The ADC is good when you're going slow enough for it to engage. I think you have to be driving less than 15 mph, which you would do on a steep decent, but not on a straight flat section. I had one slide sideways and throw me off one time when on a snowy trail. All I did was let off the throttle to slow down a bit but the heavy engine braking locked the rear wheels on me unexpectedly. It's something for people that live in snow belts to be aware of. It's not a problem with the models that don't have engine braking. Too bad Polaris couldn't design the engine braking that would allow for it to be disengaged for winter riding.
I thought in hill decent it was all four wheel braking and when in normal mode it is only rear wheel braking? I believe I seen that on a video on UA-cam.
@@joerutkowsky3261 With ADC Polaris uses an electronic actuator and clutches that slow the front wheels, the clutch slows the rear wheels all the time. When ADC is off you only have rear wheel engine braking. When ADC is on you have four wheel braking but only below 15 mph, and you have to have your thumb off the throttle. If you are going faster than 15 mph or use the throttle at all it doesn't work. Check your manual, it should be in there. Here's a video explaining it. The video is a bit old, but it still works the same. ua-cam.com/video/D3yfPVT5nSI/v-deo.html.
Excellence review really good video. I just bought 21 outlander 1000 xmr. But at 1 time I was looking at that Polaris 1000. I'm a big guy so I wanted a big bike
Thanks boys honest evaluation with no bias.
Thanks for checking us out!
Very interesting about the unpredictable throttle response in Standard mode. My buddy's wife almost killed herself this summer in a situation like you described & now it makes sense. I'll mention this to them and that they should just keep it in sport mode perhaps.
Excellent review! Seemed very honest. Thanx for sharin'!
Quaddingsous!!!!! I'm super happy to see you check out one of our vids dude! Sucks about your buddies wife... When I rode the Outty it wasn't that pronounced, but Brian noticed it on very steep hill and said it was very jerky.. Someone suggested it may be that way for towing, like the power intentionally comes on slowly at first... Thanks for checking us out!!!
The two companies making adult ATVs all the other ones are toys😜
Haha! Yep, we're sticking with one or the other!
Just what I love watching, real people doing things we can all relate with. Love both bikes but if the gas mileage doesn't drastically improve that would make my decision easy. Nice job fellas
Thanks man! Hope you're still enjoying your Sporty! The gas mileage is definitely disappointing so far.. We hear it gets better so we'll see... The power on the Outty is VERY impressive..
MI RE Adventures
Update on the Outty mpgs...roughly 300 miles now and I can probably squeezed 65-70 miles out of a tank. I can live with that the way we ride.
Loved the honesty!
Thanks, we've learned more about these machines over the last year.. We're going to a comparison based on what we've had to fix and the issues we've had soon..
Sounds like performance mode is the one to pick. Great video guys have a fun weekend. 👍😀
I would agree for the Outty because you actually know what you’re getting with every little push.
Thanks man! I caught that drone vid this morning!
The kind of honest review that I like, thanks for putting it together.
Traded off a 17 xxc Renegade 1000 Last Summer and one of my biggest complaint other than I had multiple problems with it in less than 600 miles, was the ride quality. That Renegade no matter what adjustments I did it never really smoothed out. I felt like it rode horrible and was way too stiff not very enjoyable to ride when things get rough. If I was going to go with another big boar ATV again it would most likely be the Polaris this time. Plus in my opinion the Polaris has the better all wheel drive system. I absolutely hate the visco-lok system It let me down and it's let my buddies down. Terrible front Locking System.
Thanks for the comment, nice to hear from people who have experience... good to know, you might like the Sportsman.. Its super smooth but I had to stiffen it up a bit in order to not bottom out under hard acceleration at an incline.. I did have a clutch issue at 18hrs.. It seized up and had to be replaced.. I think Polaris fixed it on the 19s..
Fuel mileage is an important factor. I don't mind hauling extra fuel for the day but it's nice not having to worry about running out of fuel on the trails.
4:15 Can confirm about the throttle! Theres not low end on standard mode! But you get used to it after some time. I just run it in sport all the time.
Ty... I’m a long time Polaris Sportsman owner ( my first one a 1998 500 is still running and being used by my father on his farm ). I’ve been interested in an Outlander but didn’t know enough about it and this video helped. Probably staying with the Polaris for the ride alone. I hope you do some more comparison videos of these two machines. And again Ty!
Thanks for the comment! We will definitely be doing more comparisons on these! I'm very happy with the Sportsman too.. The Outlander is great in different ways so it's nice be able to put them side by side!
Nice work guys! Polaris has always been like riding a couch but I’ve never owned, or even ridden one since they reconfigured the engine/tranny layout to make it narrower like a sport quad. My old 800 Sportsman ran great but produced a lot of heat. I like the thought of a big bore utility bike with ergonomics more like a sport quad. Sounds like it comes down to dealer support in your area and what kind of deal you can get. And as usual, Blue Holler looks like a great place to ride!
Good point about dealer support! The guys at Extreme Sports in Leitchfield where Brian got the Outty are definitely good dudes.. I got a good deal on the Sportsman, but I had to drive a couple hours to get it.. The local Polaris dealers here don't carry the 1000s.
Well guys yall went off and made me buy a new can am! I was riding a 2017 kodiak 700 and traded in to a 2020 outlander max xt 1000r. Only have an hour on it so cant hit it hard but wow what a change from the kodiak.
Thank you for posting so many informative videos. I would have went polaris but they dont seem to care for the Touring models. They still have the old body style even in 2020.
Awesome, congratulations on the new ride! If I were going two-up there's no question, I would go with the Outlander every time!
Question to you Michael, how are you enjoying it? Thinking of your set but 850 OR the single with the 1000 and rigging a nice seat pad to the rear bars for the gf. Only tossing up because of engine size and if the diff is worth it. Cost for a 2up 1000v850 is 2k more or 1up 1000v2up 850 is 1k more. Thanks for any feedback
@@ICEMANINVADER its AWESOME! I've since added an HMF exhaust and tuner. I would still recommend the 1 up. The four wheeler is longer on the 1 up model than standard, which helps greatly with keeping the front wheels down. I ride with friends who are consistently popping wheelies and can't go as fast as I can because of it. I feel like i have more control on turns as well.
The 1 up also has a built in spot for your passengers feet. The seat is very comfy and the handles are great for the passenger. I also bought a storage box that can go where the seat is if I don't have a passenger.
All in all id really recommend just going with the 1000 one up.
@@tharagz08 you mean the 2 up is longer and has the seat and foot wells for the passenger right? It would be used more with us both than solo and since I wouldn't be hammering the throttle like my sportbike, going really fast isn't a priority over the 2up. I was just considering the option of a 1000v850 for the added weight of two people.
@@ICEMANINVADER sorry yes I meant 2 up.
I can't provide guidance on 850 vs 1000. I will say I bought the 1000, and yet still added exhaust and tuner for more power, so obviously I would still be recommending the more powerful motor lol.
A worn out a couch perfect way to describe a atv seat good review guys
Lol! Thanks!
Have you ridden double on yours? I had a 2012 touring model but the used ones are hard to come by. I came across a 2017 xp single seater like yours with a box on the back for riding double. Yours looks much more agile than the touring. What's your thoughts on the 2 models?
we just switched from a sportsman 850 to the outlander 1000. We had the Polaris for 9 years as an excellent duty vehicle (we work at the beach) so i'm very curious for the can-am's performances. Great video and comparison guys!!
How did the Outlander treat you?!
Thoroughly enjoyed the honest, no smack talk review. I would like to comment on a couple things you mentioned though. I have an Outlander 1000 and of course an AWD fourwheeler will perform well. But Visco-Lok has never let me down, much like you found in the majority of the video. I am quite surprised though, that you found the Polaris to have the smoothest ride! My Outlander is as smooth as a dream, and all of my friends Polaris's nearly beat me to death. The suspension on theirs is almost as hard as a straight axle Honda. Anybody else experience the same?
I can't imagine a ton of scenarios where the visco lok would let you down.. Like we mentioned, we had to try to trip it up...We both thought the Sportsman had the better ride but ultimately that comes down to personal preference (most of our points do)... Both awesome machines!
Have and future plans to test the canam Defender 6x6 or Outlander 6x6? Also, I hope you get your hands on the 2023 Arctic Cat Alterra models soon.
Polaris sportsman quads were referred to as "fast couches " years ago.Your comment of wanting to take a nap hit home.good comparison review, only thing missing is the beer,count me in i subbed
Awesome! Thanks man! Believe me, we are some beer drinking boys.. That's how we sculpted such impressive physiques!!!!
Guess this answers my own question from the other day. Lol. Definitely didn’t catch this when I was gone on vacation. Honestly very surprised that the outlander took the sportsman on a dirt drag.
Just need an eye patch to go with that bandana. Rock the Pirate theme 🤟🏼😎
Great video and great comparison. Something you won’t get from either company with their videos on the products 🙌🏻
NCB!!! I missed your reply back to me, just went and checked... Yes, while you were out screwing around and breaking stuff at Mudd Nationals we were working... On videos 😎👍
Dirt ObseXXion most perfect response 😂. Hopefully the breaking stuff takes a break for a bit...though I am very doubtful. You do have me wondering now if the next build should be an outlander or the latest sportsman model.
Yet again, a great video! I have been on the market for a new Atv for a while. Do lots of trial riding and I’m an x GNCC racer on dirt bikes. Had kids and wanted to start trial
Riding and camping with my boys. I still have a hard choice between can am and Polaris. I currently have two Honda foreman’s and looking to upgrade. Also one question where can I get a shirt?
Thanks again brother! I strongly recommend sitting on both because that'll show you the most significant difference between the two.. Also I ended up having more issues with the Sportsman after about 1200 miles or so, the Outlander was pretty solid.. We don't have any shirts, ill have to work on that!
Awesome video!
Thanks Wyatt!
Great job guys I have the can am and yes it drinks up the fuel.
Thanks man!!!
Great video guys, would have been nice to see during the drag race if you would have switched rides. Just as a rider comparison off the start.
We did a follow up with the 19 Sportsman 1k and swapping riders... All three of us agreed that the Outty has a bit more power...The 19 Sportsman is clutched better than the 18 though, so 19 vs 19 is closer... Me and Brian are starting some builds on these two though, so we'll see how they end up..
I have an 18 850 sportsman, my brother has a 16 Outlander 1000. Both are good machines and have more than enough power for the high speed trail riding and hill climbing that we typically like to do but I'll stick with the sportsman for its comfort and awd system. The fuel economy is also a HUGE factor, my brother has to haul around an extra gas can every where we go, seems like he uses 2x the fuel that I do.
I'm with you, I like em both but my scale tipped more towards the Sportsman
Mark goes through the fuel too. I barely use any when he is always refueling
The Machines like to eat as much as we do I guess! That's how you know you got the right one.. Man and machine!
Very good comparison, my opinion is near yours. In my opinion the sportsman is a better choice at low speed and normal riding while the outlander loves to go fast and has a lot of power.
Thanks for checking out the vid!!! We're throwing pipes on the outty tonight, Flying Brian wants to be able to hear it! HAHA!
My 2015 Sportsman 570 rides and turns like a dream compared to my buddies 2019 Outlander 1000. The seat and suspension just feels better but also I am used to it. I would take a Polaris Sportsman over Can-Am all day long, but would pick Can-Am Maverick X3 over Polaris Rzr.
I like the Sportsman too, that Outlander is a Powerhouse tho! The X3 looks awesome but Flyin Brian has the Dynamix RZR and that thing is a high flying smooth landing machine... The X3s tend to nose dive.. I know most people aren't going to put them in the air a whole lot but where we ride at, Blue Holler, there's an awesome SXS track...
good videos love it
Thanks!
Everyone buying a big bore machine absolutely needs to watch and study this video. Excellent excellent and accurate real trail comparison! Nothing and I mean nothing surprised me accept the drag race, I thought the Outlander would win the start and Polaris would catch it at the end. Rotax engine is a powerhouse. I’m going to spend the rest of the day figuring out how flyin Brian cheated on the drag race, oh yah Brian I’m on it🙃. Chad I need your guidance I have to figure out away to send you my cell number if you don’t mind maybe we can talk next week.
LOL!!!! Thanks Marauder! Brian definitely cheated somehow... I honestly thought the Sportsman would catch up too, but that Rotax motor is a man eater... Shoot me an email dirtobsexxion@gmail.com and I'll send you my cell number!
Chad can you call my cell when you have time if you don't have to pay long distance charge 716-553-5006
Marauder Mitchelli
I kept pulling because of less wind resistance. You can’t really tell in the vid but I position myself sideways once moving. Haha
Flying Brian DO is Chad mad s me he hasn’t called?
The sportsman by far the meanest looking machine out there
I like it too! It's still my first choice but its awesome to be able to rip on both... Now that XXC version of the Outty is a pretty badass looking machine too..If money were no consideration, it would be hard to look past that rig..
Great review guys! I’m coming from a Brute force 750 so the wider seating won’t bother me and the stiffer suspension is a plus because I like to ride aggressive 👍🏾. Gas mileage is my only concern lol. Performance mode is the only mode I need🤷🏾♂️. 👍🏾review👍🏾
HAHA! Yep, if you're coming from a Brute I definitely think the Outty would be your preference. Sportsman is more Grizzly-esque.. The gas mileage SUCKS so far on the Outty tho... Hoping it gets better..
347 2strong
I’m digging my suspension but I am a lil jealous of the XP seat. As for gas, it’s gotta get better!!!!
Flying Brian DO i was wondering if you didn’t use high octane would the gas mileage be better or not? 91hp only good for drag racing anyway lol
347 2strong
Surely to goodness it’s gonna get better. It looks like I’m going to gain about 10 miles on the 2nd tank. Cheaper gas and more miles...I’ll definitely try that
Lol at this subscriber rate your gonna pass Chris here in no time! Great video! Next should be a head to head with the scrambler!
LOL! I don't know about that, Chris is making some killer vids.. We're just happy when anyone watches our! Thanks B!!
B Breckner
I’d love to check out a Scrambler but I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve seen one on the trails
One of my biggest criteria, and biggest concern on the Outlander is the rear Diff. There have been problems in the past. Hopefully they have made some improvements. Dependability when I am out in the wild and have a LONG walk back is what it is all about. Could not care about drag racing.
Yeah we've heard about phasing issues exploding the diff too.. Seems to be most common with extreme mudding, but depending on how you plan to use the machine, it can definitely be a concern... We only drag race because it's fun and people enjoy it in the comparison. Thanks for checking out the video! We'll do an update if we encounter any issues..
Excellent review. Thanks! Is one of the two brands more reliable?
Thanks! Yes, over the long term the CanAm had better reliability but heat was an issue so put a programmer on it and richened it up a bit and it was good
@@DirtObseXXion Thank you for your answer and your advice. Keep up the good work.
Great video
Thanks Usbeck! Love your channel!
What was your top speed in the race? I own a 2017 sportsman 1000 xp le and its a freaking beast. I can push through deep snow like it's nothing with the vipers that come on the machine
We got into the 60s mph racing.. The Sportsman is limited at 82mph... Haven't found the top of the Outty yet... Both very powerful machines...
Sweet rides, great job on the vid!! Really hoping the 850 max I ordered will have a comfortable ride. 🤔
I think the max has some fox shocks which will probably help.. The Outty isn't uncomfortable, the Sportsman is just SUPER comfortable.. Avoid ever sitting on a 850 or 1000 Sporty and you'll never have butt envy.. LOL!
Sandhills
Chad is absolutely correct. The Outty is comfortable until u sit on the Sportsman. My TurbyD rides rough so the Outty feels plush.
Flying Brian DO
Have you guys ever tried a 2019+ Yamaha Grizzly ? Most comfortable I’ve ever felt.
Other four wheelers I’ve driven are Honda’s rubicon’s and Polaris sportsman’s.
I've heard some horror stories of fuel mileage with can am. All engine sizes. My 650 is good. About 25 mpg. My buds with 1000s only would eat one extra bar. So pretty good.
It's definitely getting better, but it definitely uses more gas than the Sportsman still.. We broke em both last weekend at Hatfield McCoy tho..
Outlander standard mode is great for pulling a loaded trailer. Easy starting out on the belt and clutches, then once your rolling it gives you the power to really get going.
That makes sense.. We were coming from the perspective of slick muddy hill climbs.. We met some very challenging spots that day because of trail conditions.. Mostly stuff that was too gnarly to try to do twice, so we couldn't really film.. But in those conditions, Brian felt like the throttle was inconsistent.. I didn't notice it as much but I wasn't on it for the nastiest hills.. I think its something he'll get use to...
I agree with ya, not great for regular riding. My Outty didn't have it and I'm now in a SxS but I road my buddies Outty with the selectable riding functions, I didn't really care for Standard mode either but he said for work/towing it is great. I say keep her in sport and let her eat!!
@@matts9352 Will do!! Hahaha! Thanks for commenting.. I have mentioned the point you brought up about towing a few times already.. We honestly never really thought of that because they are trail riding rigs first and foremost for us..
I think Honda , Yamaha, Suzuki you can t go wrong. I have had the most experience with Suzuki but none of them rank negative at all. Last Polaris I had was 1997 , it was pretty terrible. . I am thinking of another unit. My king quad 700 has 17 000 km on it and zero issues.
Stay away from the 2016 Grizzly 700, other than that I agree.. Those are reliable rigs... These biggins are more fun in my personal opinion.. The Sportsman is the most refined feeling wheeler I've ever ridden... But if you like the KingQuads, the new ones seem nice...
The Polaris is the best in performance. But the hondas are by far best overall
It was a rainy day last night 😂
Great video! Honest unbiased comparison, haters in 3, 2, 1..... lol. I have an Outty 1000r and a Sportsman 850 and everything you said is pretty much bang on. Sportsman is a bit smoother, but feels gutless next to the Outty, likely due to clutching. I like the sportsman eps better as is smoother and has more assist than the Outty on high. More fun factor imo riding the Outty, 1000r is a strong engine, love em both though.
Awesome to hear from someone familiar with both! We agree, love em both!
Also cool of you to knock that troller!!! LMAO! Some people.... SMH..
Dirt ObseXXion lol, does he realize how much money you make off of him? Lol keep up the good work!
Dave Tootka
It’s crazy how smooth the XP is but doesn’t bottom out as you would suspect. Outty is stiffer but rides like a dream compared to the TurbyD
@@davetootka7946 Well... Not much, but dang.. I had more issues with that Grizzly than I have had with the Sportsman... Can't believe guys get mad about that.. it's just what happened.. Lol! Kicker is, the Grizzly is one of my favorite ATVs of all time...
Great video guys! Wonder why Can-Am doesn't offer Smart-Lok on their ATV's
Thanks man! Because ATVs are an afterthought at this point I guess.. I'm not to worried about the Visco Lok, It climbs confidently and that's really our main concern..
HMX Trails agreed, when Can Am gets rid of visco lok the atv market is going to flip. I found Can Am corporate is stubborn...
@@DirtObseXXion I'd respectfully disagree based on your own video footage @2:10 where the visco lock clearly demonstrates it's not on "standby" to perform and take a cup of coffee to get up and turning.
Haven't rode the Polaris 1000 yet, but I've had an Outlander 1000 while my wife had a Sportsman 850. Your comparisons are spot on. Polaris comfort in ride, confidence, AWD, and power steering are exactly right. So plush and smooth compared to the CanAm. However, the Outlander (as well as Renegade 1000 - which I owned after), have a completely bonkers low-end torque. Have to be careful at first, but you get used to it. I prefer the throttle on the CanAm's, as it's easier to get the back end out on tight twisties. Felt like the Polaris took a bit longer, and have to rev up more to accomplish the same thing. But man, that ride quality on the Polaris.....so smooth. Gets a bit too loose feeling to me personally though. Love them both, for different reasons.
Great points! We had better luck reliability wise with the Outlander long term too..
Is there a way to get the Polaris' power to hit earlier? Clutching, ECU, etc? Food for thought... I just want more of that XP 1000 @ the lower end where we need it much of the time.
Great review gents. Still not sure which one I would pick out if I were to show up at the dealership today.
I will say though, the fuel is definitely an issue for me. That might be what pushes me to the Sportsman.
Thanks Chris!!! I think you're fine with the Scrambler! I don't know what I'm going for next time either tho... Changing it up is fun..
@@DirtObseXXion agreed! Changing it up is where it's at. I'm thinking you should go for an EZ GO golf cart next..after all they're made by Textron 😉
@@NavigateOffroad I'd get the tracker version because I'm a rebel 😉
@@DirtObseXXion 😆
Sportsman just look better traversing and cornering. I would like to see a time trial course with both left and right turns, that would also be very interesting. Friggin outstanding vid again!!👍
I agree.. Sporty has a bit more going for it in terms of ride.. I couldn't believe how powerful the Outty was tho.. We can definitely make that happen!!! Thanks for checking the vid out my friend!
Were you able to get the can am up to full speed yet? To much snow and ice up in Wisconsin right now for myself to find out
No not yet... We were in the 60s drag racing but haven't found the top yet..
I hit 73 this weekend and pussed out, will update later if I top that
@@rattman003 I've heard you hit the rev limiter near 77mph.. Not sure tho
I had ordered a 2019 can am Outlander max xt 1000r and after 3 weeks of waiting I called the dealership and they told me it was gonna be like 2 more months to get it. They offered me the limited for the same price as the xt, didn't have to think twice about it. Got the the limited and to this day love everything about it and so far no problems.
Heck Yeah, that's a good deal for sure! Glad you're liking it! I'm the guy with the Sportsman buts out of commission right now.. Brian is going to let me ride the Outty this weekend.. I'm looking forward to some serious seat time on it!
All my previous outlanders were hard on fuel until about 10 hours then after 20 hours they are almost as good as they will be. You'll notice more power throughout this process as well, probably put another quad between that sportsman 😁
You're 100% spot on! We were out Saturday, it has about 15hrs on it now, and the gas mileage definitely improved. The Sportsman still seemed a touch better but it was much closer.... I'm going to conveniently forget to tell Flyin Brian about the power increase :)
Finally some Man sized rider's.... I'm a big boy too and it matters when riding all day and going through trails and how machines handle.... When u going to test Honda Talons against belt drives in the Blue Grass??? Thx Guy's
Hopefully soon, got some buddies with one already
@@DirtObseXXion y'all from around horse cave or just go to Ride at Blue holler
Got a 2020 Outtie 650 XT Max. Love the machine! Much better looking than the Polaris.
Right on! Great machine for sure, the 650 is probably the perfect size.
great video
Thanks Coffey!
Awesome video, no fanatical brand shit just regular riders giving honest reviews on there quads. I have a sportsman 850 love the new look and the soft ride but I have a little envy for the rotax power plant. Think i would pick sportsman again if I did it over though I really like the feel of the awd although I would gladly ride a can am seems like it has a lot going for it.
I'd get the Sportsman again too, but if someone offered me any ATV I wanted for free I'd have the Outlander XXC! Thanks for checking out the video! The fanboy BS is wearing us out too...
@@DirtObseXXion yeah the outlander xxc is an awesome looking ride, love the can am plow setup for the outlander also it's the only true hands free mounting blade I've seen! Thanks for the videos definitely subbed !
@@zack6892 Truly appreciate it brother!
Hey just clued into where u guys are at, so wondering if you guys got any good bigfoot/Dogman stories from your area. I know it's a hotspot for sightings and you spend alot of time in the woods
If I go in the woods, I'm the most terrifying entity there 🤣🤣🤣
"Big boys riding big bores" lol, forget Magic Mike BS - sounds like you guys need to go on tour and visit all the manufacturers!
Recently found your channel from more recent videos (researching a Polaris XP1000) and love to see how far you've advanced the channel! Keep up the good work and come down to WV to ride sometime!
edit: Now that I think about it, there isn't a whole lot that has changed about these bikes in the last several years (watching this in 2023). Which is somewhat disappointing and indicates that the mfg's haven't updated their designs much, if at all and only charged more money. As an optimist, I'd hoped for more. 💪
The true man wants two things: Danger and Play! 🤘 Honestly it's a little embarrassing to know people still watch this one.. But yeah brother I love WV!
Love the comparison. Sorry Flyin Brian, you better pack you a gas can. They guzzle!
I think you may be right!
Lol! She's a hungry ole girl!
Flying Brian DO it gets better after it gets broken in good. 👊
Max tow capacity on both machine is around 1500 lb
Better tire that's a huge plus if you don't want mud tire
the EPS yeah but you have to switch mode which is another thing to think during driving
The standard mode is good so you don't fly all the time on 2 wheel, never tried it on a outlander (also way cheaper on gas)
comfort is important and usually a big focus on polaris, if you drive 4-5 hours it is something you might want
Power, the outlander would be better yet you don't use stock tire and she doesn't drink normal gas.
The rotax should have better power, can am usually has a better motor :)
Both excellent machine, pick your poison lol
Yep! The Outty claims 1650lbs tow capacity and the Sporty is 1500.. I kinda thought the DPS was gimmicky but its so easy to use that you would actually use it.. The button is were the reverse overdrive is on most machines.. Personally, I'd leave it in max because that's what I used too... The Outty would be much more comfortable with a plusher seat but the Outty's seat will probably last longer... Thanks for being here brother!
I love both of them. We have 3 quads, 2 of which are Polaris Sportsman 570’s and a Canam Outlander 450. Although the Canam is the least powerful of the 3 and doesn’t have powered steering, it performs just as well as the other two.
We came to prefer the Outlander but yeah, both cool machines
@@DirtObseXXion Yea, I’ve seen a lot of cheap junk like the CF Moto brands, but Polaris and Canam are 2 brands that definitely won’t let you down. At the end of the month, my family and I are going to a place in West Finley Pennsylvania called Four Seasons. You should check it out, it’s a camping/ATV resort and they have trails all over the place.
@@DirtObseXXion Please feel free to elaborate sir! Thanks and kudos for another great video!
@freidrichnietzsche6643 The Sportsman fell apart pretty early on.. Clutch failed, steering failure, fuel pump, front diff, even the Guage cluster.. We had that Outlander as late as this year and it was always a solid machine.. 1 spark plug and new Shock springs were the only thing we had to do
@@DirtObseXXion dayum. Thanks for sharing!
did y'all trade bikes at all? During the tests it would be nice to see y'all switch halfway through the test ride to get each others opinion on both bikes. Great video though! Looked like a lot of fun ripping on those quads!
Oh yeah! We trade off all the time.. We did quite a few times that day, I guess it just didn't make it on film all that much.. Thanks for checking us out!
which is better? im looking to go all in with my next purchase?
Brother, that depends on the day! What kind of conditions will you ride most?
@@DirtObseXXion up here in north east pennsylvania we ride in it all. minus the deep, deep mud. The Conditions change as you go fire roads, rocky powerlines, state gamelands.
@@matthewsenick2613 I think the Sportsman is the better trail machine, the AWD on the fly is something you're going to want for those hills.. The ground clearance is better and it's more comfortable.. Base vs base I think the Sportsman has the slight advantage, the Outty is more powerful and better in mudd.. when you get into the XTP and XXC packages, the Sportsman Premium doesn't measure up well... So if you're looking at one of those in the CanAm, I'd go that direction... If not, the Sportsman is awesome..
We busted em both a Hatfield McCoy last weekend so be sure to check those vids out... coming soon
I Like my sportsman 2020 850 trail package premium orange matte and hope polaris will upgrade the bushing and clutch on them... i hope the ranger nortstar ultimate crew 2021 i just ordered was updated lol... thanks for your video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome stuff fellas. Anybody could have a blast on either of them.
How much older is the sportsman(miles/hour wise)? I think it will be interesting to see the durability of each machine as yall beat the shit out of them making vids as well..
Thanks brotha!!! The Sportsman has about 80hrs and 1000 miles.. But our buddy Brent the Viking has a newer Sportsman.. We plan to show em all a good time!!!
I ride a 2019 Outlander 850 Max XT-P. My mileage was better than the two Sportsman 1000 in our group. I also have front and rear sway bars that make handling much better than my 2006 Outlander 800. Did the outty in the teat have sway bars? I had a Sportsman before that and thought the ride was too soft. Like the feel of the stiffer Outlander.
That's good to know! The 1000 Outlander is definitely a gas guzzler still... Can Am definitely made the right move going wider and adding the sway bars!
Awesome vid
Thanks brother! Did you see ATV on Demand put that vid back up this morning..
@@DirtObseXXion sure did. Even mentioned I was glad they brought it back. Became a subscriber to 2 new channels today lol
Have you done reviews on Argo or side by side. Last I had was the kubota rtv 1200 I think? It was good but a lot of machine and I did find the hydraulic would lock up trying to change ranges. You had to shut it down depressurize it. For like 25k I want better. Argo was cool , but my farms r farm from Argo land. Used it for frost seeding but that just lost popularity.
Our experience is primarily with pure sport SXSs.. Flyin Brian has a Rzr Turbo Dynamix, Too fast Matt has a Wildcat XX, but most of our experience is with the CanAms and Polaris machines... There are a ton of more utility options out there, enough that dealership location, price, and functionality should be primary concerns.. Personally I'd look at something like a Kawasaki Teryx or something like that.. you'd have something work capable that was also fun to drive with a sport/utility option like that.. If you're no using the Argo for very specific terrain it's not a great vehicle for work...
Great video. I didn't know the seat heights were that different. Polaris is in the nosebleed section! 2.5" is HUGE!
Also saw one other thing that is very different between the two bikes......fuel cap location. What is Polaris thinking having it under the handlebars?! That has to be obnoxious as hell, not to mention the higher tank location raises the center of gravity. I guess they couldn't put it where it should be because the cvt is there? And yeah, I agree with you with you with the "on trail" cvt repairs on the Polaris. Been there, seen that. Never again. Just tow it back to the garage.
Thanks man! We would never have guessed that Polaris seat height was higher.. It really feels much more tucked in. The gas cap on the POPO is on the drivers left side below the highest point of the body, the tank is up front but carries its weight pretty well..
Yep, the belt on the Polaris is a bit of a PIA. But most of em are.. You have take a bunch of plastics and the foot-well off on a Grizz.. Fortunately Ive never ever had to do a belt change on a Grizz because Yamaha's CVT is awesome..
utah wanderlust700
We need to actually measure because looking and sitting on both makes it seem opposite.
Dirt ObseXXion I guess Kawie riders are spoiled in that dept. We don't have to remove anything but the clutch cover to get to the belt. 8 bolts and it's off.
But I would like to see Kawie put a spreader bolt on the driven clutch like Can Am uses. That is slick!
@@utahwanderlust700 yeah I'd say that's spoiled!
Both great machines but for high performance and reliability I purchased the Can-Am. Guessing anyone buying a 1000 cc machine is looking for the most performance. Just looking at the GNNC 4x4 starting lines says it all 90% Can-Am’s. After broken in noticed the fuel consumption gets much better on the Can-Am(can ride all day on a tank of gas)
Both top of the line and and push each other so we all win.
Agreed! The CanAm Polaris rivalry is a win for the consumer!
Well said sir. I agree, racing in a level field environment keeps the mfg's on point and knowing where they stand with their products. In a perfect world, those gained insights make their way down to the products that us normal folks can purchase.
Great review! Did yall race in 4wd? I can't race in 2wd on the renagade xmr 1000r because it spins way too much in high range and low range is ridiculous! Way to much power on take off and that is with 29.5 outlaw 2s that weigh 47 lbs each, tire only. But maybe the final drive ratio is different on the xmr,and clutching. But I put it up on the pavement against a yamaha 660r and can eat it's lunch as long as you ride on the handle bars to help keep the front end down. It still comes up , but you won't flip over backwards! Lol👌👊
2WD and we both stink at taking off!
Flying Brian DO yeah in 2wd my wife's arctic cat 700 mudpro, grizzly 700, and brute force 750 can run with my renegade xmr 1000,but all 4 wheelers in 4wd,they don't have a chance don't even come close. 👍👊
It's so friggen hard to keep the front wheels on the ground.. But that was a long strip.. The truth revealed itself every time..
I have ridden both machines and in my opinion the sportman is the best riding machine even with my back injury can ride all day
We both agree here too, Sportsman is a smoother ride..
Hey guys. I am currently looking at a 2019 Sportsman 1000 and a 2019 Outlander 1000 XT-P. I ride steep rocking trails. Which 4x4 system do you think would be better for my riding? AWD or Vico? I have was leaning towards the Can Am but not sure about the Viso system. Thanks
These are both great machines, if you're leaning towards the CanAm I wouldn't be afraid of the visco.. The Polaris AWD is better, but we ride steep rocky stuff too and haven't had any issues with the visco lock.. Brian let me borrow the Outlander last week and I was every bit as confident on that as I am on Sportsman... I'd say it would cause the most issues in off camber mud.. We've learned a bit more about both these machines since we made this vid.. I was really impressed with the ride on the Outlander.. I like the trailing arm style rear suspension and the shocks up front are better for aggressive riding... Drawbacks are that maintenance is a bitch and it definitely gets horrible gas mileage.. I'm working on an Outlander review vid now after we've had some issues and out about 500 miles on it..
Thanks guys. I look forward to that Outlander update vid you mentioned. Maybe a Sportsman update vid at some point, ha. Thanks again for taking time to reply.
@@cp_atving5084 No problem man! I just did a Sportsman update at the end of April if you're interested.. We went over what we broke at Hatfield McCoy recently too.. Thanks for commenting!
