i would, however, if possible, like to ask for advice on which big bore atv to buywith agressive trail riding and mud in mind, looking at the king quad 750, scrambler/sportsman 850 or canned ham 850 models
Great question, it all depends on what is important to you! Here are my thoughts; King Quad's advantage is the independent front brakes and the true 4wd locking front diff.. That said, it's a big single so it isn't nearly as powerful as the other two power plants. You might have to do a clutch kit if you put aggressive tires on it. Sportsman and scrambler are probably the best aggressive trail riding rigs but they come up a bit short when you throw mud in the mix. The CVT exhaust comes out the back end and will definitely take water in through the deep stuff especially of you're going to water wheelie and that kind of thing (makes them harder to snorkel too)... They are the easiest by far to maintain.... The CanAm Rotax motor is a BEAST, even the 850, its got all the power/fun factor you could want. If I went this route, I'd go for the 19 model vice an18 left over because I'm pretty sure CanAm improved the rear diff and the new sway bar definitely makes it more planted in 2019. Some guys are having issues with the new XMRs breaking rear axles pretty easily and I think has to do with the axle angle caused by the aggressive tire set up.. If I was planning on aggressive trail riding and mud I'd stay away from the mud specific models and upgrade the stock tires to 27s, maybe 28s top.. You shouldn't need to clutch an 850 with that size tire which would keep the cost down, and taller tires or a lift are going to make the machine less planted on the trails. CanAm would probably be my pick if I were you (I say that as a Sportsman owner) because they're both great but the CanAm is going to be better in mud.. Outlander vs Renegade is entirely up to you, Renegade looks cooler, Outlander is more functional. LC Powersports UA-cam channel just go the 18 Outlander 850 XT and put 29.5 Outlaws on it.. You might be interested in checking their vids out. We have a couple on the Outlander 1000r DPS and a comparison between that and the Sportsman XP1000 too..
Sebastien Kerr I just test drove the canam 850 and it has great low end torque, excellent throttle response and good suspension. The new king Quad is quite nice as well. I would not take the scrambler as it isn’t as versatile. Of the Sportsman 850, Canam 850 and King Quad, I think you have 3 excellent choices. The Suzuki will be most likely the be the most reliable. Canam the most accessories by far and the Sportsman a modern look and nice ride. Honestly, take the one the drives your emotions the most...they are all awesome.
Great review with lots of background reliability information. Knowing the ATV's 'issues' or 'problems' like you discussed I find very valuable. I'm much more likely to buy an ATV even if it has problems as long as I know what to expect. I hope DirtTrax see's this, you've sold me more on that Polaris in this video then they have ever. Also like how you mentioned the size of the components in relation to the 900s an other ATV's. Really good solid review.
Thank you so much, that's great to hear! I'm the same way, if I know what to expect, I'm not as worried about the issues.. I knew about the clutch issue going in.. So when it went I told the dealership what it was, they gave a bit of a story so I called Polaris, told them this was a known issue, I wasn't mad, but being out multiple weeks wasn't acceptable when you pay north of 10g's for a machine. They called the dealer, approved the warranty work, and I got it back in a few days.. I was SUPER impressed with the customer service folks from Polaris!
Again you’re analysis is spot on, and funny! You ride so much more aggressive compared to me it impresses the heck out of me how well your machine has held up...great maintenance. Great machine, narrator and channel go Dirt Obsexxion!!!
Thanks Marauder!!! Thanks for your help with this one!
Thanks for the update after a year. Great job on hitting all the points on people's minds.
Truly appreciate you watching!
I hit like before I watch, because I know what to expect.
Awesome review bud , thorough as hell.. And yes stepping up to a sxs is a given for the money !!!
SXblahblahblahblah.. Wheelers are where it's at! HAHAHA! Thanks D! I'd make an exception for the Hellcat!
I can't take a SxS in 50% of the trails I ride in. ATV's all day.
@@jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686 Hey Jon Jon! Heck Yeah buddy!
Love the reviews man. Thanks for putting this together
"you could get the 850...but they make a 1000". EPIC! Love it.
🤘
these reviews are the best there is, riding dynamics, reliability, comparisons with other machines, you deserve more views
Thanks man, truly appreciate that comment!
Love you vids, I bought the 2019 sportsman xp 1000 premium in steel blue after seeing it in one of your vids. I’m still in the break in period but this thing is a BEAST!!!! Keep up the good work.
That's awesome brother, thank you!! I hope you enjoy it!!! Good call on picking up the '19 too.. The deals aren't quite as good this year..
Great review! Polaris did get a bad rep back in the day, especially around here. But they have made huge improvements and has come a long way!
Thanks Lando!! It's up to guys like us to put pressure on the manufacturers to make changes and build what we want!
watched alot of your videos to compare can am and polaris. went in thinking i was going to buy a 570 sportsman, came out buying a 2019 sportsman 1000 premium. no regrets. bought it for farm use but i cant stop mashing that throttle. Crazy machine and that premium seat is the best seat i have ever sat on.
That's awesome dude!!! It's a great machine for sure! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for checking out our videos, super glad we could help!
Well done, as always. Surprised I didn’t catch this review before. If you did another update I think we’d all be ok with that 😁
Great review very well laid out and hit all the important items. Awesome job.
Thanks!
Nice, unbiased review. Sportsman definitely has the smoothest ride in the bike/atv market.
Thanks! It's got a lot of upside, that's for sure! I'd get another one...
Do it, you won't regret it! Go for the 2019 Premium Edition.. That's a rock solid machine and the extras are worth the price over base.. The 850SP is a good cost effective option but having drive modes is awesome and only comes on the 1000..
Looks great! Thanks for giving us an update.
Thanks brother! Appreciate the support!
Best review hands down! Good job!
Thanks B!
LMAO! That was REALLY well done! Comedy and a very thorough review all in one! How can you not love this video!
Those are some NICE t-shirts! "I'm not fat, I'm big boned" - HAHAHAHA! - you tell'em Cartman!
Awesome video bud! Loved it!
Thanks Q!!!! The T-shirt is actually padded in the mid section, it's a uhhhhhhhh safety thing.. HAHHAHHA!!!
Good stuff brother. Glad the Sportaman is still working out well for you.
Like you mentioned, for every bad story there are many good stories. I think that's pretty common among most brands. There are always issues, but also a lot of great machines with little to no issues.
Thanks Chris! I appreciate you checking the video out brother!
Good video brother, glad you like the Sportsman, Those tires look Awesome.
Thanks man! So far so good! I'm digging the Dirt Commanders, perfect for me..
Thanks for the honest review.
A SxS is just a whole different animal.
Thanks brother! I have updates coming soon.. Some stuff I mentioned didn't last the 2nd 1000 miles
Finally thorough reviews from a normal person that uses something like regular people do. Most reviews are about how they put on 72” tires and a 300 horse tune, parked it in quicksand and floored it for two hours in high range. Polaris is pretty darn good in general and doesn’t deserve the constant slamming.
Thanks! I agree, Polaris is pretty darn good, I try to be totally honest about this machine, and they did work through a couple years of issues, but if I had to do it all over again.. I'd get the exact same machine!
I'm debating between can-am and a polaris right now. I Lol'd at the end when you said "You can save some dough if you get the 850, but they make a 1000, and that's always going to be on your mind" haha
We just did an a little update on this in one of our last vids.. I've had to put some work in on the Sportsman.. Diff seals, all the bushings, ball joints, tighten the steering stem, and various other little things here and there (it has about 800 more miles than the Outty).. The only issue with the Outlander has been the brakes.. They burn through pads every couple hundred miles.. Just FYI.. We're both still happy with both machines.. I think the Outlander build quality is a little better tho.. Sportsman still has upside too...
When 40% of the market buys Polaris machines, it's easy to find someone with bad stories around the brand. They all have their quirks and issues. I think the polaris looks good. If I had to buy a new machine right now, I honestly don't know what I'd get. These days I'd probably just pick off of what i think looks interesting, and just build it. I do really like the way the Scrambler looks. Good work with this review. I found the soft shock setting to be surprising.
Thanks Rodney!! I love the look of the Scrambler.. The shock thing may have something to do with me being pushing 3bills on the scale LOL!!
@@DirtObseXXion Hahaha, I could see how that may or may not play a factor I suppose. :-)
Wow, now that’s a very detailed and unbiased review...and we now know the camera person is a lady!
yes, she's mean but she puts up with a lot!!! HAHAHA!
Agreed great review. Not surprised about the lady on the camera. He did say it was a panty dropper.
Yes Sir! I go 273lbs. Bigger is better, just bought the 2023 Sportsman XP 1000S! So far just some snow moving, all good!
What are you dipping/chewing there Dirt? Haha, great review man. Ironic I'm making a video right now on my 6 months review of the 850. Good stuff as always. I didn't realize you came from a Grizzly 700 like me as well.
Stokers buddy! Stokers!
I have a 2018 sportsman xp 1000 2up. I agree with you opinion on the steering, It needs to feel firmer at higher speed. This is my first ATV so it was a little intimidating until I got a feel for it. This thing is crazy fast.
Its definitely fast! Pretty killer for a first quad! Thanks for the comment!
Would be cool if you guys did a side by side comparison with the sportsman and the can am. Instead of speed and power. How bout just daily obstacles like loading gear or wood or maybe hunting or navigating something off-road like a narrow pass or a large rockbed River. Maybe a log crossing. Or a stuck and recovery video. Not everyone has a winch or a buddy with them. Show how versatile these machines are and show their drawbacks. I’ll never buy a small atv again but I miss the days when I could pick my atv up over a log or out of a rut with ease.
ATVonDemand is doing one right now that's going to be awesome... We're going to do a follow up after that.. I'll keep that stuff in mind when we do it, thanks!
Great spot you guys have. Like mine exactly.. Would be a blast to go down to ride out with you guys, would be worth the trip from the great white North Canada. Love my Xp's 1000's
We're not all that different my northern brother! KY is beautiful, but we'd love to come north too!
Awesome honest revew. If I were to buy another polaris, either 850 or 1000 would get my mo ey.
Right on
Another sweet vid, someone touched on it, when you sell that many, you are going to have issues. Same with the Canned Hams. Count me in for a shirt dude. Popo Power!!
Thanks Scott!!! All true! Got you down for a shirt for sure!
No need for Canned Ham jokes, that’s all some of us can afford
@@flyingbriando5521 Such hard times when you gotta get the 11,700 dollar wheeler instead of the 11,900 dollar one.. Decisions were made... Two hundred dollars worth of icecream purchased.. 😄
I had a 2013 Grizzly that was a great machine but I always wanted more power. I do like the power steering better than the EPS on the Polaris. I did buy a Polaris though. I found a 2016 XP 1000 new on the showroom in 2018. I couldn't pass up on the price. It didn't have the curved A-arms but the power is intoxicating.
I haven't had any trouble with mine and have just done regular maintenance. I ride pretty hard and have been in some pretty tough conditions that I would have locked the Grizzly up in but the Polaris, in all wheel drive, ate it up without missing a beat. Power cures a lot of problems!
The seat is great but you sit on the Polaris and sit in the Grizzly, if you're a little smaller! My biggest complaint would be the power steering. This ATV will get going and leave the Grizzly in the dust. With that, I always felt more confident on the Yamaha.
Would I change? Not right now. The Polaris is a really good ride with lots of power on tap. If Yamaha put the 850 in the Grizzly I'd think about it but for now I'm pretty happy.
I agree 100% with everything you said! I really feel like sit "On" the Outlander though.. The Sportsman felt more similar to the Grizz to me which was part of the reason why I went with it... EPS is too much on the Sportsman tho, and believe it or not, it's even stronger on the 2019 model in terms of assist..
Nice review, I loved my 2013 850XP LE until it stopped running with 2800ish miles on it, I do not like Polaris's hubs IMO they are a little weak, I could never torque the lugs down to manufacture spec on aluminum wheels without having a stud spin in the hub, so I always had spare studs to swap out and one time had to swap the hub as the stud wouldn't hold anymore.
I 10000% agree with the servicing, I could change the fluids in my Sportsman in like 30min, the Outlander it's a days project and when I do it I make sure I go all out and do a deep clean to make it worth my time taking it apart.
Started on a KQ 750 (big single) and when I handed her down after getting the Sportsman it felt really underpowered, but still think it (and the Grizzly) have one of the best clutch/CVT setups out there and if Polaris and Can Am could find a way to incorporate the wet clutch into their machines.....damn watch out!
Great comment! I agree, Yamaha has the best cvt.. I'm hoping I get more than 2800 miles tho, I'd still have a few years of payments after that!!
Thank you for this honest information unlike other reviews I have seen and experienced myself. Thank you this will definitely help me when picking out my next atv
By the way (just curious) how tall are you?
Thanks! 6'1
Did check to see if the skid plate was cutting in to the engine case. Mine was so I cut out the thin plate then put in 1/4 steel plate in place.
Damn good, honest review! Honda power, oh I mean polaris power! Yee yee. Now if yamaha would step up their game they would have one hell of a machine. I love the power steering and on demand front locking diffirential system of yamaha.
Thanks Mark! I'd be on that Yammy too, but they gotta lot of catching up to do..
Dirt ObseXXion yes they do!
hahaha, really enjoyed this. Cheers man
EHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Thanks buddy! I appreciate you checking the channel out!!!
No problem man, It's getting very hard for me to keep up and support all the channels I like. But I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your vids man. Subbed
@@ehTV1000 Much appreciated brother, been following you and NOS for a long time.. And of course my man Richard!
Haha, right on. Thx brother
Love your videos made up my mind to get my 2019 XP had to wait 6 months to get it in the radar blue. Just picked her up this last Saturday. Here’s a dumb ? For you though how do i get myself a cool T shirt like that ?
Awesome! You're going to love it! We're working on the shirts, trying to get the Dri-Fit material that we have and keep the cost down...
Great video, good information.
Thanks! I'm working on one about the XP1000 S right now.. Its uploading..
So do you think with the upgrades in the Sportsman XP 1000 S, that they've almost completely eliminated every faulty part about the sportsman since they upgraded the drive-train, transmission, and gave it SXS differentials and axles?
I'm testing a Scrambler S right now for ATVonDemand and that video will be on their channel on Monday.. The S models are pretty awesome especially in the right environment.. I think the pro steer and front diff should hold up very well.. Suspension bushings are sealed now too and that's an improvement.. I haven't had enough time to know how durable everything is for the long haul but the Scrambler has been flawless so far... The S models can be ridden harder over rough terrain than any other atv ever made.. It's possible that the capabilities cause more wear on certain components but again, too soon to tell for sure..
Great Practical and real world review of the sportsman. Sounds like a great machine if you ride solo.
The price to jump up to a SXS is directly proportional to your opportunity of scaring the shit out of family and friends. Lets face it aint nobody gonna jump on the back of a quad with us. (if they know any better)
Too true my friend! I told my wife if she decided she wanted to start going riding with me I'd trade the wheeler in on a SXS... Then there was like 3 seconds of panic on my part before she finally said "nah, too dirty". PHHHHHEEEEEEWWWWWWW! HAHAHAHA!
Dirt ObseXXion HA. Longest 3 seconds of your life.
This was awesome
Thanks!
Well done. See ya'll in a few weeks
Count down is on! We got the whole crew coming!!!
Would you go back to the grizzly? I’m up in the air with grizz, just like you said at the end. Knowing there’s a 1000 out there, makes it hard to decide.
Yeah I definitely would... The Grizzly I had was a '16 with that 708 Subaru motor and it I didn't like the motor. Avoid the 16-18s and you'll have the Yamaha 686 motor which would be much better.. I like to ride kinda hard and fast most of he time which is why the XP1000 was more appealing to me, but there is no question that I have had to wrench on the Sportsman more than any other wheeler I've ever had (I'm riding it harder too though). The Grizzly will happily and comfortably go mid 50s on a trail all day long and chug through and over most obstacles.. I was more comfortable climbing gnarly hills on the Grizz too because it had independent front and rear brakes and was lighter. The grizz feels more nimble and agile.. Also I'm 6'1 and 285 so more motor was a little more important.. It really all depends on how you want to ride and how comfortable you are with some amount of nickle and diming.. The Grizzly is probably the best overall trail riding 4x4 every made in my opinion.. Love the XP1000 too..
Hey I'm about to either pull a trigger on used (300 miles) 2018 xp 1000 or 2020 850 trailer edition. I. Leaning towards the xp1000 because it's bigger and cheaper but I want to know how you rate it after 2 years of using it. Thank you
I like the xp1000 and 300 miles isn't very much. It is nice to have some factory warranty though and the 850 is more than enough motor.. Here's everything that has gone wrong with mine..
One way bearing in the clutch seized up at 18hrs, had to be replaced.
Bushings and ball joints only lasted about 1100 miles. Front diff seals lasted about the same. I wasn't mad about any of that though, except the clutch, we had done 100s of miles running as fast as we could over very rocky terrain and I think i mostly shook the thing to death... It's a good wheeler, maintenance is very easy and it's super comfortable.. The power, weight, and capabilities of these machines just mean that some of the stressed components have a relatively short life expectancy compared to smaller machines.. I'd get it again though 100%..
I was going for the scrambler to but ended up with the sportsman n im a bigger guy around 240 . As for a side by side i wanted something to go deep with and ride wheelies n rip on . A side by side ill get in proly 2yrs or so .love the vids
SXSs are cool, but I'm all about the 4wheeler.. Picking lines and thinking ahead a little bit is what gets my mind off everything else.. Plus it's fun to sling your weight around and feel it have an effect on the machine.. The only SXS I've spent any amount of time driving was Flyin Brian's Turbo Dynamix and that was a pretty killer experience, we traded off at HM for awhile last year.. I rode all day with Too Fast Matt in the XX once and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
Good to know you wrecked it a little already. Mine got trashed this weekend. Makes me feel a little better. Mines bad enough it has to have a frame swap. 😢 ugh...
Oh damn, sorry to hear that brother!! Yeah I flipped mine down a nasty hill back in July.. Mostly cosmetic..
@@DirtObseXXion I had a pair of oxford hot hands wrap around grip warmers and somehow even with the velcro strip pointed to the back so it wouldn't catch it hung up and threw me off. Wheelied for about 40yd and hit a mobile home. So fyi never use those, only use heated grips. It hadn't happened before this either. Kinda scary.
Definitely scary! Glad you're alright!
What tires do you run? Have a 2019 Sportsman 850 and want something just a little more aggresive.
I like GBC Dirt Commanders... Little more aggressive and 8pr so they're super tough..
Great review. Subscribed. Im going to look at the new sportsman 1000 tuesday. Im still tore between it and the canam but i know the guy that sells the polaris soo🤷♂️
They're both great machines.. If you haven't seen it yet, check out ATVonDemand's shootout between the two.. I started working for them last summer and we tried to cover the two machines as thoroughly as possible in that vid.. Basically, the Outlander is more aggressive, but the Sportsman is more comfortable. I think it's best to sit on both and see which feels right.. Thanks for checking us out!!!
@@DirtObseXXion thanks for the response. Yeah im going to be doing alot of creek crossing trail riding hill climbing. I live in northern west Virginia and even doing some ridge running with my gf on at times🙄😅
@@fres2death469 Oh very cool! Have you considered the Max XT-P the extended chassis might be nice...
Do you have the part numbers needed to upgrade a 2018 clutch to a 2019 clutch?
I don't, but I will say we've had issues with clutches from both years. I'm not positive the clutch changed.. If anything they just changed the balance
I'm new-ish to the channel. but I do know I need one of those dirt xx shirts so I can rep you guys on my home trails
Dude, I sincerely appreciate that! Would you like one with or without the beer belly? 🤣🤣🤣 We'll get it soon and post when they are available... Itll be really hard to not just give em all away because I'm totally thrilled that people want to rep the channel! Where's the home trails?

Great job on the 1000 mile review Chad glad to see that it’s doing what it’s supposed to do and that’s keeping you happy 😃. I’ve been riding the hell out of the 850 and your absolutely right at high speeds it’s twitchy for sure but I’m learning it. Now the wife want me to get a 1000 but I don’t understand why that don’t offer the 1000 touring model with the same set up like yours with the 90 hp and fuel map switch instead it’s the same as it’s been for a while now who knows maybe 2020 will bring an improvement on the touring also but anyway great video bro tell ole flying Brian we said hey
Thanks brother!! You're right about the touring model, I don't know why they dont update it.. I'd have probably gone that route too if they had.. I'll tell him!

Dirt ObseXXion ha ha you guys are a trip definitely one of my favorites I need to get me some dirt obsession gear so I can represent here in Georgia
Awesome man! I know we got some stickers coming but I'm gonna be working on shirts too.. We'd be honored to have you repping in GA my friend!!!
You can save some doe by going with the 850. But they make a 1000, and that’s always gonna be on your mind. Best quote ever!😂😂
Great video man. I was wondering myself if there is a difference between the suspension in the 850 vs the 1000? Thats great to hear that its to soft in the 1000. I was looking for the smoothest riding atv out there. Currently have a 2017 sportsman 570. Everyone says the 570 ride is plush but i disagree. Its pretty rough. Im looking for that cadillac ride!
The Sportsman is the Cadillac for sure.. That and the Grizzly.. When I said too soft, I meant too soft for me for aggressive trail riding.. Stiffening up the pre-load takes care of it, there is a huge difference between full soft and full firm.. 850 suspension is the same as the 1000.
@@DirtObseXXion Awesome thanks for the reply dirt! That helps alot. Didnt really want to spend the extra coin on the 1000 because i dont need that much motor. Thanks man!
@@AscendedZombie Truthfully, no one really NEEDS the 1000, the 850 is a smarter buy for a solid trail riding rig
@@DirtObseXXion the 1000 pulls the 850 on top end...had both I like having the extra power of the 1000... but the 850 is no slouch
@@michaelodonnell5536 Can't argue with that.. I like the 1000 too. I always recommend the 850 to guys wanting to save some coin.. I think the 850 is the best buy for 95% of people which means pretty anyone on the fence.. The people who want to ride balls out all the time know who they are 🤘
Awesome review. Just got a 2019. I love everything about it but the power steering. Seems to be way too sensitive. Will I get used to it? Will different tires help? What's your advice?
I agree the EPS on the 19s is very sensitive, more so than it was in 18.. I personally think the Duro tires suck so swapping them with a heavier slightly more aggressive tire might be worth a shot.. Try running in AWD too just to see how it feels.. I think the EPS in Awd is pretty spot on, but I like breaking the back end loose so I don't typically ride that way... I hope you get used to it, I definitely did... If not, the Outlander DPS has 3 settings and the max assist about 1/2 what get from the Sportsman EPS..
@@DirtObseXXion thanks for the response. I'm new to atvs and this is my first one. What tire would you recommend.?
@@jdmfh47 It depends on how you like to ride.. If you're mostly trail riding, then the GBC Dirt Commanders are pretty hard to beat, especially for the money... That's what I run and I love em... They're 8ply rated and hook up really well in just about any condition.
@@DirtObseXXion just want to agree with the recommendations on tires...dirt commanders work in alot of areas..the popo powersteering gives the most assist of all the brands...I love it .got used to it quick .had a 15 brute eps...could hardly tell it had powersteering..had a few can am's with powersteering..worked good..but always wanted alittle more assist in the slow rough stuff..
@@michaelodonnell5536 Yep! Love the DCs! You're right about the power steering too.. Yamaha's is the best, but Polaris's is very good
great video
about the 1000cc gonna be on your mind u bet i got a 2017 650 outy and now i want to change this years for either a outy 1000 or sportmans 1000 but still cant decide im literaly watching all ur video about them and still cant decide
Well.. Thanks for checking us out! ATVonDemand is putting out a shootout tonight at 8pm that will help you a lot too!
I saw in one of the comments you said you blew your front diff, could you explain how that happened? I run the Cecco frame braces on my 19 850 and I am contemplating upgrading the pinion cover before my hatfield trip this april. Have you had any other failures since your clutch problem?
The diff didn't actually blow, it was just the seals.. I still have the stock pinion cover, no issue there.. I ran the absolute dog shit out of it and the seals gave out.. The pinion issue was mainly on the 17s.. I've got 2000 miles on now, probably 800 of them at HM and no issue at the pinion or carrier bearing or anything.. I'd check the bushings and ball joints though.. Those did give out shortly after the HM trip we did after this video..
That's all the suspension bushings too, a-arms, shock, and knuckles.. They were pretty much all bad..
Dirt ObseXXion I hear ya, the trails up in the NE by us are fairly rocky so I know my joints and bushings are gonna take a beating. Pretty pumped for HM, are the majority of the trails a good time for us quad guys? The other three guys I’m going with run SXS .... just something about riding a quad makes me a happy guy though lol.
@@4doorxj I'm with ya 100% on that!! HM is awesome! We go as much as possible.. The trails are great for quads, they're well groomed and super fast. You can find or avoid as much mud and technical stuff as you want to though.. Which trails are you going to? Buffalo Mtn/Devil Anse/ Rockhouse which are all connected are my favorites.. There's 1000s of miles of Outlaw trails too..
Dirt ObseXXion we haven’t put together what trails we were gonna run just yet, been watching clips on UA-cam and seeing some great footage though. From what it looks like, outlaw trails are where some of the more technical stuff is at. I’ll take a look at the trails you mentioned for sure
Still deciding whether i want xp or highlifter. If polaris had the updated front end on the highlifters i'd probably have got one by now. Mostly easter NC swamp mud around here
I lived in New Bern NC for 10yrs! If I were you I'd go highlifter and make sure to swap out the pinion plate... Both cecco and rvs make them for the highlifter.. The 2019 model might have been updated, I'm not sure...
@@DirtObseXXion what a coincedence, i live not far from New Bern & my wife works at the hospital! Too bad we couldnt get some ride time in
@@phillipsjames2244 Yeah that would have been cool... Good luck on the decision! Let me know what you end up doing..
For your first service, did you just have the oil and filter changed, or also have the valves adjusted?
Oil and diff fluids, no valve adjustment.. The dealership did the first one while they were replacing the clutch.. Just grenaded the front diff on the last ride..
@@DirtObseXXion new subscribers here, great to here a honest no b.s review. I rip it up snowmobiling but looking to buy my 1st quad. Primarily for hunting. I hunt in hilly terrain so stability is important. I'm torn between the Grizzly and the Sportman 850. I want to ride some trails during summer and might put a plow on in winter since i live in Minnesota. I'm 5'10 190 lb so not a big dude. Is the 1 lunger grizz going to be enough?
@@jessecameron7268 I definitely think the Grizzly would be enough, but avoid the 16-18 models.. I had a 16 and the 708 had issues... The 686 is rock solid. I think the Sportsman is the better bang for the buck, in the states at least.. The racks are better and drive components, stronger and it is much more powerful.. I did just blow my front diff, but I was riding harder than the Grizzly would have been capable of.. The Grizzly is probably going to be more reliable long term if you don't beat on it.. But any given machine could potentially have issues...
Forgot to ask what does yours get to a tank of fuel
Thinking about a rotopax can ?
Obviously it depends on how you ride, but I'd say 80 to a 100 miles per tank if you ride kinda hard.. when we did Hatfield McCoy last year I think I had about a quarter tank when I filled up at around 75 miles
I know what you mean when you say they make one with a larger motor. I bought a 2012 Commander brand new and it has a 800 even though it's got the power to turn my 32" Black Mambas on 10" wide wheels fairly easy, I always wondered what the 1000 would be like so a friend of mine offered me his 2011 1000 Commander XT for $4000 Well I talked him down from $5500
Nice! Yeah, if you like the power, it would be hard to know there is more out there...
Looking at getting a 2018 sportsman 850sp with 120 MI on it asking price is 8,750 maybe get them down a bit but my question is should I pull the trigger or wait until I can get a 2019 that’s not brand new. I know they changed the clutch on the 19s 🤷🏻♀️🤑
The problem with not getting new is not getting the warranty.. If you're in the US you can find 18 left over for that price or cheaper and still have the warranty... I know on the 1000s the clutch was replaced but I'm not positive about the 850s.. I just blew the front diff on mine and that's covered too.. If you're looking for a recommendation I'd say see what a dealer can do on a new one then if you plan on abusing it, get an extended warranty... These are great, fun, and beefy machines, but they can break... If that 18 is a good deal used (only way I see that is if you're in Canada) then go for it... Just make sure it shifts ok while running..
Dirt ObseXXion thank you for the advise, I live in Michigan and love riding the trails up north. So far most of the dealers I spoke with are out of the 18s but I will keep checking. 👍🏻
@@lindsayandryanmolina389 Its worth asking about the 19.. Polaris does the dealer days where they do as much as 2k off msrp.. Thanks for checking us out! Let me know how it goes!
My 2018 Sportsman 850 has had no problems.
Awesome! She's a beauty too!
nether has my 2006 Yamaha
Nice Review...
Thanks Doc!!!
I put the rvs clutch on my 2018 n it made my engagement around 1850 and that's with me putting both washers on the primary . B4 when I put no washers on it was like 1600
Wow 1600 that's pretty good. I felt like the 19 engaging at 1800 was much smoother than the 18..
I agree 100%. I have the same machine and put the same clutch kit. I only put in 1 washer though and engagement is about 1800. It is SOOOO smooth now. Huge difference. Stock was very jerky.
@@dustinslanec6747 yes much smoother
@@dustinslanec6747 Man I'm gonna have to get that clutch kit too..
Just talk to Ryan at RVS Performance and he will set you up. Each kit is custom based on tire size, how you ride etc... I have his stage 1 tune also. The combo makes this machine even more of a beast!! The tune gives you 6+ WHEEL horsepower.
Also your videos are great!!
Nail on the head. Reliability is relative to riding habits, modifications, and maintenance.
Thanks!!! I appreciate the comment!
I own the 2016 570 SP in the 2019 High Lifter Edition 1000 when trailering 1500 lbs down a mountain there is no EPS that will touch the Polaris barnone top notch. !!! 5 months a year three trips a day every weekend it is one log hauling machine
Good point, it's different in particular situations.. I'm coming solely from the perspective of how we like to ride. If I had never owned the Grizzly, I'd have no criticism of the Polaris EPS, and like I said, with AWD engaged it's perfect, so it really isn't anything I'd ant them to change..
That’s awesome. Question, if you had to do it over again would you buy it again?
Yeah I would, but mainly because of how I ride.. I like the power, comfort, AWD, and drive modes... We just got back from Hatfield McCoy and I blew the front diff out there.. Its covered under warranty.. I do recommend the extended warranty, it has paid for itself already.. The Outlander 1000r lost its front brakes too.. The 19 XP1000 premium didn't have any issues.. we'll do an update video on it because we're trying to be extremely transparent on the experience of ownership with our machines... Owning one is definitely different than doing a one day ride review...
Dirt ObseXXion that’s what I wanted to hear. I have the opportunity to pick up a 18’ 1000xp with 41 hours on it no mud or water in nearly pristine condition for 8k. I have no plans for deep mud or water so should be good. I’ll take it in for a service and a once over to be she is good but sounds like I should be good to go.
@@ANTDJ23 Yeah buddy.. Just drive it around and make sure it shifts ok and the power steering and AWD is working properly.. Another guy commenting on my last vid just bought one used and it had Power steering issues.. Great machine for 8k but you might get him down a bit.. They book at around 7 used typically.. But if it's got some extras and it's in really good shape I'd say it's a good buy..
Wow 7k. I have not seen any round my neck of the woods for anywhere near that . Mostly 8500 and up.
That's the trade-in value in the US.. It's a good deal for 8k, especially if it's well taken care of.. I only mention that so you know what its worth to him if he trades it in.. If it's in particularly good condition a dealer might give more.. I paid something like 9900 new... That was April 2018..
Just my thoughts but if I was going to buy a new big bore Polaris Id buy the base model 850. Then Id get an ecu tune from RVS that would put it within 4 to 5hp of the 1000 and with the 850 being like 80lbs lighter than the 1000. Power to weight ratio would be similar but you'd have about 3 grand left in your bank account. Biggest negative would be no power steering.
The weights closer to 30lbs difference but yeah, that's a way to go.. I'm always telling people that the 850SP is the smartest buy!
@@DirtObseXXion Wow I just looked again on the Polaris website and the weight difference between the 850 base and the 1000sp is 100 lbs!
That's base vs premium edition.. The premium edition has the brush guard, winch, and 27s. That accounts for most that weight. The base XP1000 is 801lbs, Base 850 is like 770 something.. Most (if not all) of that is in the wheels...
@@DirtObseXXion That really shows how much weight adds up quick when you add accessories.
Sure does, that's why I don't like to add much.. I do wan't a skid plate and front brush guard, put I don't like to add much weight..
Comfortable is the top reason to go with a polaris, I sometimes ride for over 5 hours in a row, also its the cheapest 1000 on gaz (important for me), I love the electronic throttle in standard mode (Machine doesn't try to wheelie every time i give it gas).
This is the machine I will keep for 5 years+ I will upgrades and stuff, for the clutch I got used to it but i might upgrade it.
Also it was 1000$ move over the 850sp and much cheaper than the outty 1000.
Can't go wrong with this machine :)
Thanks brother! I agree with everything you said! I'll probably keep this one too, got a few things I'd like to do to it...
My filter on my 2018 850 scrambler got covered in oil
How? That must've destroyed it..
Good video...ive been looking at the 2020 850 and 1000 and Yamaha 700. Im not a big guy but i do love power. Been riding the same Yamaha 400 big bear since 2000. 19yrs its hard to walk away from that old girl that keeps saying yes. Shes ugly now but eager beats pretty everyday lol.
I think I responded back to another comment you sent me on another vid... I compared the Grizz, Sportsman, and Outlander for you.. That new XTR edition of the Grizzly is pretty cool.. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three.. I'm very familiar with all of them, they all have pros and cons
Theres a easy remedy for the heat issue on most ATV's....the oil. The ATV-Motorcycle oil they sell has certain additives removed so that they will work with a wet clutch system ( like a 5 speed manual). Motorcycles share the engine oil with the clutch. CVT equipped ATV's DO NOT share the engine oil with a clutch yet Polaris and others continue to sell motorcycle oil for their engines. They remove additives that reduce friction so that clutches wont slip...they need certain amount of friction to work...but again these quads have no clutch sharing oil with the engine. Basically automotive oil is so slick it will cause a motorcycle clutch to slip so they have to make it work less effectively so the clutches won't slip. Since you dont have to worry about a clutch on a CVT you can put a good automotive racing oil in your ATV. It lubricates much better and you will notice a major change in engine eat. I learned this while experimenting with Harleys which also dont share engine oil with a clutch like japan models do. So i tired the Amsoil 5w-50 automotive oil in my Sportsman 570 and the heat issue virtually disappeared. The cooling fan used to kick on constantly and after I changed over to the automotive oil it rarely kicked on at all. I think Polaris still calls for 5w-50 which is hard to find but Amsoil makes a 5w50 AUTO OIL that will work much better than the Polaris or any other Motorycle-ATV specific oil. Try it and it will make a believer out of you. ( Im not trying to sell Amsoil.....Amsoil just happens to make the 5w50 Polaris wants but dont buy the ATV oil). The oil that works so good that it will make a clutch slip is the oil you want lubricating your engine. Get what I mean???? Heat is from friction and throwing away the ATV specific oil will reduce your friction by a lot. Its amazing how many people dont know about the anti friction additives being removed from ATV and motorcycle oils so that wet clutches can work ( yet virtually no ATVs have clutches anymore accept sport quads like the raptor).
PS....this isn't about brand....its about TYPE. Any brand that meets the viscosity requirement will lube your engine better than ATV specific oil. Most people when they buy AMSOIL for there Polaris will buy the ATV oil which also has the same good stuff removed from it. Buy the automotive 5w50 or the racing 5w50 and you will notice a huge difference in heat. I ran Valvoline 20w50 racing oil in my Harley and it made a huge difference too vrs the " V Twin" oil everybody buys. Harleys dont need motorcycle oil but they continue to sell " v twin" motorcycle oil for them that cost more....its a big scam.
EDIT: It was the Amsoil 5w50 Signature Series I put in my 570. It went from cooling fan running all the time to rarely kicking on at all. Made a major difference.
Wow man, that's great info.. I'm a motorcycle cycle rider too and never realized..
Dirt ObseXXion Well I didn’t mean to preach at ya or anything lol. Some have a hard time grasping what I’m telling them. You still need motorcycle specific oil in your bikes if they share the engine oil with the primary like all Japan bikes. The Harley Sportster also requires it. All the big twin Harley’s do not share oil with primary and all CVT quads and SxS do not share. On all of those you can run non motorcycle- atv oil. If you make the switch let me know how it goes although I already know 👍🏼.
If you get a chance today go look at your jug of Polaris oil. On the back it will say “ wet clutch approved”. Now you know what that means and why using something not designed for a wet clutch will reduce your heat. Wet clutch approved is designed to allow MORE friction. What they remove is called “ friction modifiers”. Friction modifiers are the additives that reduce friction by a lot and if they aren’t removed a manual wet clutch will slip and not work. Since we have no wet clutch on SVT quads, or big Harley’s, we want that slick oil in our engine! ATV-Motorcycle oil is a compromise between allowing enough friction to work the clutch and just enough lube to lubricate the engine. Since we don’t have to worry about that there is no reason to compromise. Of course they keep selling it because they can charge more for special “ atv” oil and most people don’t know any better. Good luck!!

Right man, appreciate the info for sure! Adolphus.. Had to look that up.. not too far from us!
Dirt ObseXXion I’ll tell ya how I learned this. I had a 2002 Harley Wide Glide that had lots of top end chatter and would burn up my leg while sitting still. I tried Mobil 1 and Amsoil motorcycle oil everyone loves and same thing. Even tried some Lucas. When I figured out the engine oil isn’t shared with the primary clutch like on a japan brand I decided to experiment. I bought some Valvoline VR1 full synthetic racing oil for old V8 race engines and poured in there. My top end noise immediately disappeared and I had a hard time getting the thing warmed up. The getting hot and burning my leg totally stopped. It showed me how much better the auto racing oil lubed the engine vrs all the special “ v twin motorcycle oils”. Sure it’s required in a Kawasaki cruiser but not my Harley. So then I poured some in a sport quad I had with a clutch and sure enough it was so slick the clutch wouldn’t work. It slipped and wouldn’t grab. That showed me the major major difference in how well the 2 types of oil lubricate a engine. The one that worked so well a clutch couldn’t get enough friction to engage is the one I wanted lubing my Harley engine resulting in the elimination of top end chatter and eliminating the heat burning my leg. So I tried the 5-50 signature series in my Polaris ( it was designed for the Ford GT V8 engine) and got the same result. Polaris oil had the fan constantly kicking on and engine heat would burn my right leg. When I put the automotive 5w-50 in there the fan almost never came on and no heat on my leg. I actually thought the fan was broken for awhile.
The Atv and motorcycle oils are a “ one size fits all” thing. You can pour it into your sport quad, crotch rocket, Harley, and your Sportsman ATV. I call it “ neutered” oil since it essentially has been neutered of all the good additives to accommodate wet clutches. They charge more for it and it’s just enough to get the job done. But CVT quad and SxS owners can do so much better and if word gets out these companies will lose millions of dollars so they have no reason to tell you this.
Here’s what I put in my 570 Polaris and reduced the heat by a LOT
www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/motor-oil/gasoline/sae-5w-50-signature-series-100-percent-synthetic-motor-oil/
If you skip over to the amsoil ATV oil you will see “ wet clutch approved” and guess what...that’s what they will recommend for your Sportsman LOL 😂 ( and it
Cost more!). Here’s what website says
“Wet-Clutch Compatible
Contains no friction modifiers for smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps improve clutch life.”
No friction modifiers is a BAD THING!
Now you know what that means!!! It allows more
Friction to occur for the clutch to work when your sportsman has no wet clutch! So millions are using this stuff in their ATV and SxS with no wet clutch thinking they are getting the best oil for their engine and wondering why they run so hot. Try the Signature series 5-50 and I promise you will notice a huge difference immediately
Dirt ObseXXion Yep I’m close to a place in Camner they call the “ 5 dollar farm”. It’s kinda small but a fun place. Fairly close to pump jack off road too but I never been. We always went to LBL or Black Mountian in Harlan. I love black mountain!!!
I honestly believe if you ran the stock CST tires up against the Outlander you’d have a different perspective on power. I bet you lost a bit of power upgrading tires.
Oh definitely, the 19 Sportsman 1k ran much closer to the Outty.. But the ITP Terracross's are probably heavier than the CSTs.. I have no qualms about the Outty being a touch more powerful..
@@DirtObseXXion Both Polaris and Can-Am constantly update their models to be the most powerful every 2-3 years or so. Wouldn't shock me one bit to see the 2020 top of the line Sportsman retake the thrown of being the most powerful. Wasn't the 2017 or 2018 Outlander 1000 slower than the Sportsman 1000 of the same years?
@@jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686 Yeah you're right, but it's a HP war not necessarily a speed thing.. You can't touch what the motors are capable of doing as far as top speed on either from the factory.. They're both limited well inside of the potential.. But its been a one upper game for HP for a few years.. Can't wait to see the next iteration of both!
I can say with 100% confidence that out of these 2 machines i can afford neither.

@@joecatalano82 Hey Joe!!!
@@DirtObseXXion hey Chad !!
So all in all would you recommend this bike to someone?
If I had to do it over again and was getting a 1000cc machine, I'd get the Outlander.. On a sportquad kick at the moment.. Only have a Raptor 700 and LTR450.. My next 4x4 will probably be a Grizzly which I had before and really liked..
@@DirtObseXXion reason asking is I've got a buddy looking to get a machine and he's a big guy. I've only ever had Hondas so I'm not sure where to send him
@@DirtObseXXion But we found a 2018 model sportsman 1000 with some goodies for 8000. Just don't know if that'd be a good bike for him or not.
@@2wdDenali Seems like a good deal depending on condition and miles.. After 1k miles mine needed; bushings, bearings, ball joints, diff seals, exhaust gasket, and a lower steering stem.. Some guys have had better luck.. I was riding it fairly aggressive but what I would consider to be well within the intended limits of the machine.. We had an Outlander 1000 that held up better to similar riding
Sooooo Scrambler 1k or Sportsman 1k or Renegade 1k or Outlander 1k? What would you choose?
Well, I chose the Sportsman... Doing it over again for 2019 models, I'd probably choose the Sportsman again.. But, it all depends on what's important to you.. My decision would have a cost/fun/ease of maintenance balance... But the Outlander and Renegade XXC models are the most badass machines out there.. They cost a lot more and you have to tear them down pretty good to perform any maintenance. We did a Sportsman Vs Outlander Comparison a few weeks ago because we have both now, and I did a video on why I chose the Sportsman over the Scrambler if your interested..
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks for your response. I have heard the Outlander and Renegade are both pretty fierce machines. My biggest concern with the Sportsman is looks. It's just not very appealing to the eyes. It's very bland. But with that being said it does win in a lot of other categories. I'm at a crossroad on which one to go with and after I've watched dozens of videos on them all I'm no closer to a decision unfortunately. I was leaning towards the Scrambler but my wife likes to ride on the back sometimes and I see it's weight limit isn't really that high. 290lbs. I weigh 220lbs just by myself. I wish there was a place I could just test ride them all in one place, but unfortunately I'm having to make my decision off of online videos. And I did watch your other video. Thanks for all of the info 👍
The Sportsman isn't as exciting looking, that's for sure.. But if that's the biggest drawback, I'd say that has to be the leading contender.. It's actually pretty sharp in person, just not Scrambler/renegade sharp. If your going to have passengers sometimes but you want a spirited machine when it's just you, you'd like the drive modes on the Sportsman or the Outlander. Of those two, Outlander is a bit more powerful, but the Sportsman feels sportier and is more comfortable.. I can't image you getting any one of the 4 and being disappointed, so you got that going for you!
@@DirtObseXXion Very valid points haha Thanks man for shedding some insight on these through responses and videos. I really do appreciate it 👍

Chad, Check with Lando's mom. She makes all our shirts, caps, decals, etc....
I went to a Can Am/Polaris dealer. He tried pushing the Polaris brand on me. Just being honest, I wouldn’t buy one. The friends I have who own them have so many issues. I owned one in the past & it was a pile of
junk too. No offense to any Polaris owners, it’s the brand I’m not a fan of. Anyway, I asked the dealer why he is pushing Polaris. He said, ‘we make more money on them than on Can Am. Then he showed me how many Polaris models were being fixed at the shop. There were 12 units being worked on. 9 of them were 2 years old or newer. 1 older Can Am getting a oil change. That speaks volumes. Any manufacturer who charges so much money for a toy should be a little more fair to the paying customer. Can Am have issues too? They all do. It’s sad when a paying customer has to weigh which one break down less before making his choice.
I ride a 2012 Outlander 1000 w/ 7,500 miles on it. The biggest problem I’ve had so far...the bright light switch. The copper piece wore out. Not too bad considering what I put it through. Maybe I just got lucky? Could be, but I’d go w/ a Can Am any day. Again, no offense meant to any Polaris owners. A lot of my friends own them. I’m just sharing what I’ve seen & heard.
Btw...I love your honest reviews. Your videos are awesome. Keep up
The great work.
Thanks brother! I get it, I'm no brand loyalist so I definitely agree... Build something good! I have 1100 miles on this machine now.. 2nd clutch, all new ball joints, bushings, diff seals, minor electrical problems, and the steering just started squeaking like a bitch...

I think Polaris is going to produce a 100hp sportsman and they needed to make a 91hp in 2017 to beat can am. But a 9 hp increase isn’t that impressive opposed to a 10hp increase. Which is why I think the current model is 1 hp less than the 2017
I wouldn't get too overly concerned with the HP numbers.. These machines are super detuned and you can get a lot of power to the ground in the aftermarket if you really want it... Thanks for checking out the video!

I to cut a rear tire on my Sportsman XP 1000 . Gjgjfgcjg
Good to hear you've had good luck with the Polaris man as it's American.
Every single Polaris I ride with has been sold after many problems and systems inferior to Arctic Cat, Yamaha and Honda. And the Polaris is almost as dutiest as the Arctic Cat. I am still running my 08' 1000 she's been bulletproof to the point it's actually a joke with everyone around here lol and I actually ride not some city boy cruising down a ride road splashing puddles, crawling thru a small river bed and a couple sandy small rock hill climbs. No we rode hundreds of miles way the hell up in the mountains where support or help is yourself and yourself alone lol so way way over loading/working then pounding the ole girl so hard in severe wheelin, severe racing severe means severe not sht talk online like a woman.
All the can ams and Polaris have been sold as they're not made for the actual severe use we all have up here. Countless issues both serious (blown motors, stripped gears, blown diffs, snapped frames, a the extreme over use of plastic which always shatters an rips apart) the guys sold them all for Arctic Cat, Yamaha Honda and 1 actually for a krx1000 which is an extremely well made machine but has too long of a wheelbase for serious wheelin as the break over angle sucks, just like the wildcat X 1000. The 1 wildcat X in the group aswell has replaced his belt twice in over 6500 miles!!! Mine once in 3600+ miles only after the belt wore down to just underspec after thousands of miles. Hell man I swamped the whore twice by accident as heavy rains flooded the rivers we had to cross to get back home so I had no choice. I shut her down dried it up, fired it right back up and rode all the way home no problem at all! Check the cvt next day the fckr had atleast 3/4 gallon of water haha I cleaned it all up and to this day it's flawless.
I should add to date the only machines faster is scrambler 850 yet I blow the doors off the 1000 model?! Honestly too. The can am 800-1000 renegades. I love how much fun said machines are and if we all didn't absolutely rely on hammer reliability I/they'd be a top pick for bo work only fun. But with 3 having quite a few problems (idk exactly what still but they guys who had them were diehard Polaris/can am guys) right up untill the issues and ruining rides/them getting stranded started haha as there is ZERO cellphone reception around here that's no joke. The Honda Rincon one of them built is very impressive honestly, he runs it as a sport machine basically as she's a joke to an Arctic Cat but setup like he has it's fckn awesome.
We lost our beloved, All American Made Arctic Cat to republican party bread an butter Wall Street, and that's taken the form of Textron swiping up the smallest, tiny manufacturer fighting like a mad man a true American against the massive manufacturers like Polaris, can am and even Yamaha, Honda Suzuki, basically all of them. Hopefully they will find themselves again as we genuinely NEED those massive ATVs and Utvs that are unrivalled and ya can't kill short of 90 mph off a damn cliff.
We will never see mostly steel, true 4 wheel drive with a manually operated fully front locker with a true CVT system not just a copy and paste snowmobile CVT set-up (basically) as Polaris and Can ams no wet clutch non constant tension CVT system absolutely BLOWS very snappy feel however it's artificial and no better way to cook a belt at the worst possible time/place.
Who knows, maybe now we've all lost the true American Arctic Cat, just like Yamaha with their new Rmax 1000 who saw the hole they left once wall street textron city boys stole them. Filling it with the same type of UTV Arctic Cat made for us. It's also already the best made UTV to date. Maybe others will see the massive sales Yamaha gained by pandering to us who need Arctic Cat type capable machines
