Back in 1999 I bought a brand new 500 sportsman , It was four wheeler of the year in the magazines, my son and I set out to buy a four wheeler , we looked at all the brands and settled on the Polaris 500 because it was the only brand that was designed with Rear Independent Suspension and true four wheel drive not limited slip also something called EBS , which stands for ,Engine Braking System , Great for going down hills , not much use of the brakes needed the engine did most of it , Kids are grown and moved away now , But I still have it , Now its just a plow machine , Winter is the only time I use it , The engine is a very easy starting powerhouse , Never had a problem , but this new 1000 is quite the awesome looking machine , Great job again Polaris !
i have the same machine and bought it new and still have it and nothing significant has rolled out of the factories since then except bigger engines but as you said this quad looks awesome and i might be tempted
Wow
Someone did a test that wasn’t in the desert. About freakin time. Almost never see a s/s or quad tested in tight woods or east coast conditions.
I live in Minnesota. I am never ever in a desert.
Although the price tag would be insane I’d like to see them take this and let the Highlifter guys outfit it for a Sportsman XP 1000 S HL edition!! That would be a machine!!
I’m sure that will be coming!
14.5” of ground clearance is amazing
Just cant get over how sick the new ones look!
Gorgeous piece of equipment.
You guys are THE go-to for reviews and the straight story. Great review, and explanation. Supports what I kinda thought, but started to question with some of the shock-value titled opinions.
I hope Can Ams answer is an $8k sport quad that competes with the Raptor 700... Like a DS but less sucky.. If the Ryker taught them anything, it's that value still has a huge market..
Anything Can Am is better. 👌🏻
I would like to see more reviews on this before I would considering buying one. The machine looks outstanding and fun to drive!!!
Beautiful machine...after doing the rebuild on the 2017 Sportsman...it was a tough choice on going with the 2020 Sportsman or Scrambler. Ended up going with the Scrambler and patiently awaiting the rebuild to be finished to see just how it performs in the mud. First testing will take place in Canada to boot! Best all around terrain for a solid testing. I honestly feel Polaris has truly put themselves in a totally different league with this 2020 lineup...like literally. Who is going to touch this?
When we got our sports and scramblers in 15 we put the offset wheels on them witch set them out to 55” creating the best trail machine handling at the time ground clearance has been an issue with around 9” it might finally be time to do some upgrading in the garage.
The price is absolutely insane to me!! Easily get a left over xp1k for the same price. I think it’s cool but it’s definitely way over priced should be about 12,999 tops.
Price tag is gi-normous without question. 850 is almost half the price ($8900 US). Definitely a specialized product.
My local dealer has one of each. A scrambler and a sportsman. Both have an out the door price of $13,400
So I bought a 2020 Outlander XMR 1000 and removed the mud tires and added trail tires instead. Kept the 30” factory size though. I’m using it exactly as described in this video, just a massive trail buster. It has over 13” of ground clearance, 48” wide stance and the 2up extended chassis. It has surprised me around every turn. The extra length and width is so stable and surprisingly comfortable. I can drive over objects I used to have to avoid or fight. Having this setup, I can totally see where someone might want a setup like this. Also, this customer will be like me in the sense that they want SXS capability but don’t want to lose the thrill of riding an atv!
I was curious how the ride of a xmr on the trail is. Are the xmr shocks stiff; or can you adjust them softer for the trails?
@@jessecameron7268 The suspension travel
Is limited to maintain the ride height. I aired down the 30” tires and it helps soften the ride. There is very limited adjustment on suspension because it’s a “mud bike”. I may look at aftermarket shocks eventually.
this looks awesome, i hope it becomes a more popular thing
Looks so badass. It’ll definitely be a good four wheeler here in Ohio.
Love it, keep up the great reviews/content! Hope to meet ya all some time!
Just ordered the sportsman touring xp 1000 so me and the lady can go for rides
It's badass for sure! I saw both the scrambler and sportsman at my local dealer last week. Under $13,500 out the door. So they're not terrible on price.
But I have to point out yet again... Most of the trails I thoroughly enjoy are BARELY 50". I've even had a hard time getting a 48" wheeler through some parts so while I think these are a great idea. They NEED to continue making a standard 1k version of each.
Got one...and it's awesome in every way
I ordered one last week on and I am super excited!
4:10 Yea you hit the tree😂🤦♂️
Trevor Glenny saw that to
And it was right whrn he was talking about it too.
You hit the tree not as nibble
That was just a love tap
AWESOME KEEP UP THE GREAT REVIEWS!!!!
Never wanted a quad till now. 😜😜😜😜
These things are freaking sweet
My take is this.... 20 years ago ATVs werr physically smaller, and there were no sxs vehicles. Hence trails were narrow. When ATVs got wider, trails did too. When sxs vehicles took off, many trails got wider again. If the 55 inch platform moves to smaller engines and cheaper platforms to the point it becomes a real thing, the trials will quickly adapt.
Any updated on how this quad did plowing your driveway?
How did it do plowing and do you think it’s worth it to get the angle blade option?
Got the 1000 S a couple of weeks ago and love that thing! I'm going to do a review on it once I have it broken in.
Wheres that review 🤔
After many years of riding ATV's I can totally understand the advantage the changes in this ATV are all excellent for an improved handling experience. I have since switched to SXS's having now owned three and I do enjoy the improved comfort. Now for my big question, what about the 50 inch trails? Some Federal forest lands have more 50 inch trails than anything else.In fact, Wisconsin National forests are all 50 inch. We own a 50 trail SXS so we can ride those trails. The gates at these trail heads are no more than 53 inches. So there is a new ATV that looks exciting, but it will be relegated to 60 inch plus trails. I am just not sure how that is going to work.
Did y'all ever end up doing an update on this? I can't find many videos of these. I guess they never took off like I expected them to.
I'm surprised you didn't say it needs more power..lol!!!...
Not sure I want to sit on top of an atv that weight that much for trail riding, working and definetly not paying that sxs price. But...for racing desert or rock crawling in utah I would go for it in a blink!
What about adding a track kit to the XP S? With the added suspension travel and width, Could we put a larger UTV kit underneath it and get some added flotation etc? And will you post a video?
Can’t wait to see if this kind of atv is going to take off. Also can’t wait for BRP answer!
Would love to see a 55-inch wide Renny to compete with this. Would also like to see a performance Sportsman 6x6 to compete with the Outlander 6x6.
@@dirttraxtv now see... The 6x6 market would do mighty well at 55 inches. Plus NO 6x6 should EVER be smaller than an 850cc...
@@dirttraxtv i would LOVE to see a sportsman 6x6. the big boss is so dated. i bought a 2020 1000 6x6 in october, because of what you had to say about it 5 years ago
5 additional inches isnt bad, the fact that it's the first ATV to crack the one thousand pound barrier is, but if it gets the 110hp RZR base engine it may just justify the cost, now that they've gone this far, put the engine to match and let it be a niche product, would be sweet with that engine and 30's all around indeed.
TheOMEGANOX my 2019 is 13.5 I think curved a arms came out in 2017 not that much more height if you ask me
Too wide for trails where I ride but would love it if it would fit
I ride Suzuki and Yamaha but I gotta give it to can am and Polaris at least these companies are pushing the envelope, I'll stick with my reliable atvs for now but these guys have fun factor nailed
Polaris is almost in par with yamaha reliablity
@@matthewgibbons6362 Nope, buddy's 2020 Sportsman 570, in the shop already.
Sounds amazing I just wish Polaris would make a speed sensitive power steering control. I have power steering on my 570 and in the woods its amazing going down a hard pack trail not so much, the slightest twitch on the handle bars could send you into a ditch real quick.
john balogna I never have that problem with the 1000 love Polaris power steering learn to drive
I thought Suzuki was the first to make a 4x4... ? In the 80s they had 4x4 with 2wd and dif lock. Operates with levers in front of the seat.
Awwwwww you buy a ATV like I did because you want to fit on 50 inch trails. Montana has many 50 inch trails and I know for a fact that the trail is very tight with trees. I was rubbing on some trails so 55 inches will NOT work.
Ram 4570 then buy the 50 inch model!! They didn’t get rid of the 50 inch model...
so happy to live in quebec...several thousand kilometers all year round with 64 inch trails
My 48” Max is a blast . But 55” with stock 14” of ground clearance hell yeah . I know some places where I could play with this . This may become a buck list item too .
Still liking it? Im in the market for two new ones and i was originally thinking a can am 650 dps and a can am 850 xt but now im thinking either one of those and a 1000s for the other. Depending of coarse on what my dealer still has in stock after thanksgiving
love it- hope there comes a 2 seater!
Has HL started making kits for it yet?? 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Would be a good platform for a two up? Bought the Outlander Max because Polaris never put the new upgrades to the touring model🤷♂️
GREAT review....NICE machine. Price tag? Read somewhere: $15K..!?
Yes.im in upstate NY..... 14 k...on sale...lol
Can it fit a paramotor though?...
Very good review, we have newer atvs and use them in the winter and we are planing for tracks. Hmm maybe this might be a trade in opinion before we get tracks. Only thing some trails have barricades to allow only 50 inches and this may limit our adventure options. I wonder if they make the 55 width in a 2-up? I’ll have to look. Being a women, I find myself taking passengers who are new to ATVing, I like the 2-ups.
Does that front bumper come stock? the website shows a slightly differently designed bumper and i cant tell if its a glitch or not.
All 1000 quads will go 55 inch I think. They need a size increase to handle more robust drive lines. The reliability problem is the engines are to big and powerful for the drive line. It’s like putting a V8 in a Volkswagen. I suspect Yamaha and Kawasaki will offer a 1000 soon and it will be a 55. I think it’s a great move. Perhaps reliable 1000cc quads will be available due to the size increase and bring Japan into the game. A bigger front and rear diff will make a great improvement and handle the power better
I’m waiting for a Kawasaki Brute Force 1000 with 55 inches 👍🏼😎
JohnnyRebKy I. Disagree there right most trails are 50 inches
Idk about other states but colorado atv trails have post that limit 50 inch width
Will it fit in the bed of a 2020 silverado?
Best ATV
You need all those pockets and bins to carry spares and tools.
Put the tools in your pockets cause they'll be empty after making payments.
I’d be PISSED if I paid THAT much for a machine which proved unreliable. I’ve had friends who own the Can Ams have the same issues. Seems like the Yamaha/Honda camp DONT suffer as much from reliability but it sucks that they are SO conservative when it comes to power. If they put an 850 twin in a Grizzly, they will sell like crazy.
I think the more power less reliability .
@@AdamGoldbach That's ok. They're all so far behind on a trail or a race track. That you have time to nap and fix it before they catch up.
Will this fit in the bed of a pickup? If so, which ones? 55" wide seems pretty wide to get between the wheel wells?
It's too wide for the trail. 50" is the max on most public trails in Michigan.
Same here in Colorado.
Bummer :(
So true
same here in California, oof :(
Joseph Denver you are a. Picky one
Fish are awesome 2009 why is he to picky trials in NY are to narrow can’t really use this
this guy sounds like Seth Rogan
Looks bad azz .
$14,000 for this or $25,000 for a SxS? Go!!!
If they're really trying to make it into a power beast, they should put a dohc engine in it
Feel free to use it all winter long to plow my driveway as well.
I just can’t fit it in the back of a truck like a can with my renegade that’s why I didn’t get it also just not a mean looking as can am
I grew up in the 90's on Hondas and Yamahas. I know Polaris has come a long way, but I just can't get out of my mind that they are total junk.
Dave C. Same lol
If they're so bad why is it the number one selling ATV
Dave C. No they aren’t lol, there’s a reason why we all buy them.
I love my 1000 Honda is great for reliability but that’s it sportsman is way more comfortable and this is my 5th one in 23 years
Good thing you didn’t grow up before fuel injection and the inception of the automatic transmission.....
Impressive machine Luke, but what i really wanna know is if this quad will last more than ten years of usage... And if yes what it costs to maintain it and keep it running. Looks like a money pit to me. At 17 999$ bone stock plus tax 20 964$ Canadian (if paid cash) otherwise add the costs of borrowing. I will not mind paying this kind of money on a product that will last 25 plus years and requires minimal maintenance costs.
Look at all the private selling platforms, Facebook Market Place, Craigslist, Letgo etc. Flooded with used Polaris's, not even 5 years old. People dump them because they become money pits. The dealers are jam packed with service jobs, you have to wait 3 weeks before they can look at your machine. Half the time they don't even cover the warranty work due to negligence on your part, so they claim. If you want to buy this, make sure you get the extended transferable warranty. Easier to sell privately at the last year of your warranty.
Want one soooo bad, but good lord, the prices of things these days is gettin beyond ridiculous
You really gotta weigh out whether you want this or an XP1K with 5 grand worth of aftermarket parts and accessories.
It's not better at trails in the mountains and trees where there are bridges rocks and trees exactly 50" wide.. otherwise I agree. I'll wait till they drop the 110hp RZR engine in this chassis. I'm perfectly happy with the chassis/power combo on my base 1000XP. Also for 15k it should come with the new LED headlights. I paid $9999 for my base 1000xp so the S would need to be discounted significantly for me to accept the compromises it has and really consider it. Also I don't like how they took even more of the front storage space away for the upper shock mounts.
This probably isn't the right ATV for you. You aren't giving anything up having your XP1K and the difference in price could put you in some pretty awesome aftermarket parts and accessories to outfit your ride.
That’s right pacific needs to wide to ride on Northeast trails up in New York State and $15,000 it’s too pricey
Bwuk bwukEEK 👍
Can i try Luke...
Def would rip it up with that thing for sure
Atv the can only ride on utv trails. Hmmmmmm that's boring in sticking to my can am gen 1 800 still my favorite after testing alot of others
it is a great machine, but it is close to 180 pounds heavier than a regular sportsman 1000 xp. i own a 2021 sportsman 1000 xp. but i d'ont doubt its capabilities and i think it is the best looking atv on the market. but close to a thousand pounds is insane. i guess acceleration is not as good as my sportsman 1000 xp.
Awesome ATV!! Two big cons... are 50" trails and price. Otherwise, super neat!! Enjoy the video and format.
To be fair, most “55 inchers” iv seen are blown out to side by side width or are overgrown and are single track dirt bike trails
I’m curious about the price tag for this beast of an ATV...
Around 15K
Definitely not a value-priced model.
@@dirttraxtv oof
Just a guess but I'm thinking around 15500 dollars to 17000 fully loaded all bells n whistles...
But its a bad mother trail running machine I bet...
You got to be a RUB to afford one!
Polaris sponsers paid for by polaris
Lol at 4:08 he hits the tree.
This unit is to wide to legally use on many off-road atv trails... many are limited to under 50” wide wheel base. Would not be usable.
Top speed?
Pretty darn fast!
@@dirttraxtv well you guys still love it any issues plowing all winter?
Need a trailer won't fit in box of my pick up lol
Right, I really want one but I can’t figure out any logical reasons why I should get it lol. Won’t fit in my bed, and can’t go down 1/2 the trails I ride through, yet I still want one lol. They are just so cool
"""and deep pockets""" that summarizes it. Too expensive for majority of buyers. It's the same price as a SXS!!!
It’s not gonna be 20k is it?
@@longboardguy 15 -16 k from what I've seen online that's a lot of money for an occasional use vehicle.
Awesome toys ain't cheap
john balogna ya that’s pretty steep. I paid 9k and a bit of change Canadian dollars for my 2016 Sportsman 850sp in 2017 year. I don’t think Ilol be getting this anytime soon although it looks great but I think if you get one a year old or two still new and you can probally find some deals on them
All-IN Offroad true. Might next buy will be a sxs though especially for the money
To me, this model is a big step in street legalizing ATV,s. It would give ATV,s the stability needed to drive on paved roads.
Lose the music. We want to hear the machine
Deep pockets on Polaris=good review
It’s down right too big for woods riding...and too expensive
May be ok if ride on utv trails 👎🏻
There is nos argument on your comment. Can you produce any argumento to guide, i am planing to buy one, so yes I have interest.
Neeeeech
Ok Guys. You review all these ATV's every week.. What's the best atv period. I need to to know. I wanna buy one. What's the bottom line?? And dont ask me what I do with my ATV.. I just want to know which one would "you" put your money on? Period!! Just pick a brand and start texting....
Can Am Outlander or Renegade. They are lighter and have a more powerful engine. Polaris has always been known for poor reliability. Don’t get suckered in by all the smoke and mirrors. Take it from someone who has raced both brands for years in the gncc series.
@@crigginpest thanks
It's still a popo
go honda!
Why does this video always give Suzuki credit for being the first four wheeler reality is an American company named Rupp was actually the first company to make four wheelers
Idk frame is too big, too wide and heavy.
Joey Holthusen I had a chance to drive one and it is unreal, no atv even comes close to comparing
I wish Polaris wasn’t pure trash. Their innovation and look is amazing
That’s not much snow at all
2020 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 S • $14,999
Ridiculous price. Keep it. So over it with hobby toys priced out of the ball-park for joe-blue-collar. Just trinkets for geezers and boomers.
Why do you always have to be 2 people when riding polaris??
1 has to carry all the axles
"ALL NEW" ...... same engine, same trans, same diffs, same garbage. the airbox boots will crack just like on every other polaris twin engine. and the motor will grenade with the slightest ingestion of dust. not impressed. stop charging us 20 grand for lipstick on a pig. redesign the drivetrain. give us a real V-twin. give us something that is easy to repair. the only thing half decent about the prostar is that it can turn the wheels. rebuilding them is almost just as expensive as buying an entire engine. i will never buy another polaris again.
That thing is hideous. The biggest reason most people buy and ATV is for where it can go. But hey, if Polaris is going for an ugly, ridiculously priced atv, they got it!
Ryan Ryan overpriced year, but ugly?
suzuki better
Mmmmmm...hhhhhhhmm...sweet Ride for sure it makes me want to kick my regular Sportsman and ask why it’s not this cool!!! Thanks for the info and getting me in trouble with the old lady,cuz gots to trade mine for the new S!!!!!!
In Ohio and Michigan we have alot of 50 inch trails so this doesn't suit me at all.
I am contemplating going to the new Sportsman S from my XP 1000. What shock settings did y’all find overall best on the Walker Evans Suspension? I’ve heard the Scrambler’s settings are different and most people like them better than the Sportsman. I have heard the Sportsman’s stock setting are too soft and can be responsible for some nose dive and rear end push in hard braking and cornering. There’s not much information out there on this that I can find.
