Polaris Outlaw

[Smokin'Gun]

I just bought one of these about 2 weeks ago and I have to say its a polaris sport quad thats actually built good and its fairly fast. Its the one with the independent rear suspension, full fox shocks all around, douglas .190 rims, i just put a k&n and an outerwear on it and im lookin into full skid plates, shock boots and an exhaust. its 11" of groudn clearence and there isnt another quad around that will touch it in 90% of the trails around here. Ive done a little cross country style racing on teh gas line and through some trails with some people, (yfz450, 400ex, and a 250r) and all they did was bash their rear bearings carriers over rocks and the kid on the yfz bent his rotor pretty good. It climbs the hills good and its decent in the mud. I was a little skeptical about it at first because its new but ive been thrashing on it pretty good since break-in and nothing has broken. The yfz450 will get it in a straight line but not by much, the raptor and 400ex arent a match and the 250r (ported, piped, K&n) held its own against it. I dont know I like it, its the only practical sport quad to ride on the trails around here my friend bought a scrambler 500 but its junk, he bought it 2 days before i bought mine and weve went riding together every time ive ridden and hes popped 3 tires, bent a rim swingarm came loose and theres something wrong with the front left spindle and he dosent ride nearly as hard as me.

does this thing actually weight less then the predator? i have a hard time believing that... but that KTM motor sure looks nice.. too bad it's a 4 poke

the outlaw doesnt have a ktm motor, its got the same one thats in the pred. from what iv been reading. i dont think id like that irs on a sport quad, it just seems you wouldnt be able to slide it as easy and it would have too much body roll for my thoughts, and really any is too much id say.

my bad i was thinking about the 525 that's coming out next year.. that has a KTM engine.. and weighs 395 dry.. what does a banshee weigh?

[MX86]

oh and the IRS works really well... you can slid a bunch and there's not effect on rolling... kinda cool idea IMO

[Smokin'Gun]

The IRS does work really good. It has adjustable stabilizer bars in the back. I can slide out around corners just as good as anyone with a straght axle.

the 500c jap built (engines)predators i have ridden were peepy but the weight held them back for mbeing anything fast ,i assume the outlaw would be even slower and much heavier

[MX86]

according to the specs.. the outlaw is lighter than the predator

[Smokin'Gun]

Its not slow by any means. It accelerates very hard and outhandles anything that ive ever seen around here on the trails which is all I care about. I didnt buy it to drag race. Yes it is lighter than the predator by the way.
