I have to admit, it felt good to see my Grizzly at the top of this list. I was about to get the Sportsman 1000 but it came down the dealer experience. I’m totally happy with my ATV choice. 👍 Theses are all great machines, as are so many more. Well done, man. Fun to watch.
Our ranch pole barn had a concrete berm across the doorway to keep water out. One of the first lessons i ever learned about ATVs was zipping into the barn and crushing my toes between that berm and the steel footpeg on our Yamaha moto4. I remember that lesson every time i see a machine without the full footwells.

Great video brothers and I’d say y’all nailed it and I have to agree that 650 is underrated and I know for a fact it’s a bad ass machine. Damn good video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Michael Patrick I'm used to go mine looks. But it looks better now that I put 27x10 zillas on all four corners. It was a tough decision for me because the grizz did look better on the showroom floor but the v twin won out.

VERY underrated. Yamaha makes GREAT machines, but doesn’t seem to get much love in the ATV community. People will soon come to realize one day. Mark my words!
King quad 750 has great build quality and long term reliability ...its fast and smooth for every need you have. But to each his own..I've owed a few bikes on this list...all were pretty good.
@@brianspader1162 Thanks man! I didn't think you were butthurt, I like hearing from dudes who like their machines and why they like them.. I try to use that feedback in my vids whenever possible..
I've got the XTR now, it's freaking awesome. Rode the 850 , immensely powerful but completely unusable power in the woods. The Grizz has loads of torque too and its build quality really is second to none. Having Duel brakes is a pretty big advantage too since most single action breaks are rear biased and can get you some serious trouble if you aren't careful

Great list! My Raptor 700R and Kodiak 700 EPS have both been incredible. You will run out of suspension performance & rider ability on a Grizzly long before power for fast trail riding. Agree that the Can Am 650 is criminally underrated. It is the hidden gem in their lineup. The Rubicons look badass, 518cc be damned, they still look great. The higher trim Rubicon pricing is a bit suspect though, for what you’re getting...
I got a 2016 SE Grizz ... thing is built like a tank. Like you said not the fastest quad out there but with a few mods you can squeak a little more performance out of it. Perfect for trail riding... BTW nice vid bud.
I had a 16 Grizz too, that was me in the mud hole with it.. I loved that thing and I definitely think the Grizzly is awesome! Thanks for checking out the vid!
I’ve owned several EPS Brutes and an Outlander 850. Love them for what they are. Also owned arctic cat (don’t want to discuss that) and had terrible experiences with Polaris. Polaris may have gotten better since the last ones I’ve owned but couldn’t go back after multiple issues across several quads. I now have a 2019 Grizzly 700 SE with clutch mods, tuner and exhaust and is phenomenal. As far a trail machine it’s incredible. It’s the Swiss Army knife of atvs! At the end of the day, you need a Gruzzly for general trail riding and ANY twin cylinder from Can-Am/Polaris/Kawasaki for just all out grins. Confucius say - Man need Grizzly for trails, Man need twin cylinder for thrills. Buy both, it’s the secret to true happiness.
Yep I hear you loud and clear! Currently have a 2004 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 (wish I didn’t) a 2018 Sportsman 570sp (its great looking but weakly built imo) that Im about to sell and just picked up a brand BF750 that is a monster! Debated between this and the Grizzly 700, but went with this. Yamaha offers more trim pieces with the XTR model, but those are impossible to find.
Artic Cat and Polaris machines are considered junk here in my area, don't make the mistake of buying either of these brands because of some guys bragging video!! You might be sorry if you do!
I was 6'1, 300+ lbs on a Honda Recon going up the backway to CrownKing, AZ back in highschool. I never once needed more power. Gear selection, for me, is absolutely essential when trail-riding and rock-crawling. Eitherwise you only get a fraction of the power in each gear.
Love the video. I’m just asking if you could also do a another video with ATV’s in the same class. Like 500’s / 700’s / 800’s and 1000’s that would be great 👍 😎
Definitely solid choices. I definitely think the Polaris, Sportsman 570 Should get a fair shake. The 570 has become a very reliable engine and the actual ride is pretty legendary. They're 2021 model Is a pretty incredible machine.
That’s the way I should have done it haha, I shouldn’t have ordered them. What a coincidence, uploading two “ranked” ATV vids in one day haha! You made a good list, I don’t have any disagreements with it!
Dirt ObseXXion shoot, I need to start taking my time with them. I had the idea for a couple days and got everything wrote up in about a day and had it filmed in an hour. I like the way you did yours better though, I’ll write that down!
Great video buddy! Lotta good information as usual! You do a nice job at this stuff! Now was it chubby bearded with a narrow mid section?? Hmm?.. Something had a narrow mid section.. All hack gotta watch the video again.. hahahahaha!!
This bearded chubby fellow, agree's with this list. But thinks D.O might be missing out on one of the best trail cruising machines. I personally have a soft spot in my heart for the KQ 500, I personally have found KQ's in general to be very smooth riding/engaging running machines. It may not make the hair stand up on your neck, but it will treat you right on a long day's trail ride. Just my 2 cents. Love the video's as always.
my yfz450r is quit the trail monster! 51in rear wheel width makes this bike so damn stable while ripping through turns. plenty of power at any rpm makes this quad very fun.
Just got a 2012 850 outlander road it a couple of times but having trouble with the fan not turning on and it getting hot. any ideas I got another fan plugged it in and the same thing the fan will not turn on??
Thank you I appreciate you getting back to me I already checked the relay so I will check the temperature gauge as it goes into limp mode with high temps...
Grizzly 700👍🏻👍🏻 I was surprised to not see the kingquad 750, it’s comparable to the grizzly 700. And interestingly enough, the two grizzly 700 in our moose hunt group, didn’t want to pull the moose out,..no worries, kingquad took care of it🍻🤷🏼♂️🤙🏻
The kingquad is a good machine for sure, but this video was about trail riding specifically.. The Grizzly handles quite a bit better and is less clunky than the KQ.. All personal preference though, both great machines.. 👍
I’ve rode both the king seemed way smoother in every way the engine don’t vibrate near as much way easier to switch gears ,The Yamaha does do better at high speeds though, but this new King is hard to beat Suzuki has stepped there game up big time
I like the bearded chubby guy scale. Great recipe for anyone that want's to get into a ATV is # 1 on the list. The Griz is the go to machine for sure. Fast and fun would be renegade for power and speed imo. Cheers boys🍻🍻
Thanks pisty!!! The renegade could have easily been on the list, itll probably be my next machine, but it's hard not to recommend an Outlander over the Renny for what you get for the money..
great vid. Luv the bigboy (like myself lol) rompin on the outlander 650. I guess I don't have to hop right on to a 1000. Maybe the 800 max will be the sweet spot.
You can not go very fast in the woods or on a trail anyways, these are not dirt bikes, and my 1984 3 wheeler Big Red will beat any big 4 wheeler in tight woods, as the 4 wheeler has to back up, Think more about handling, midrange power, and 4wd traction, and you will not wend out 1000 on a trail or in tight woods. The Honda Rubicon and Grizzly 700 also has a locker on 4wd the 1000 Polaris does not, only AWD which might be good on some parts of the trail, but not in rough conditions such as steep mountains and lose sand hill climbs. The Honda is beltless and might be the most reliable many like the Grizzly.
Was Yamaha Rider all my life, couldn't beat them. Last year bought a CF Moto 800 and I couldn't believe how good of a machine it was for the Price. I clipped a tree doing 74 with it early in this spring. And then after insurance was done I got another one and still to this day I've never had a better ATV than my CF Moto 800 XC. Just bought my wife
Wife a uforce 1000. She loves it. I have 30-in cryptids on both machines. And a clutch kit in both. Shocking how responsive both of them are I can stand up my $800 anywheres great great machines. A friend of mine has a Can-Am 800. Can't imagine spending that much for basically the same machine and mine doesn't break down. die hard CF Moto fan now.
We own a Polaris Honda and just sold a 350 Yamaha it was old so we are buying a 450 Yamaha and we have a kids raptor 700. Also this has to be one of the most underrated channel ever
These are all great but for me Polaris are more comfortable over long have a Honda now and can’t argue with the reliability but a lot of our rides are 100 miles sometimes more and the Polaris is so comfortable
You got that right, I have a Sportsman 1000 and I've done 300 miles in 3 days.. Not many other machines id want to do that on! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Good video. I do have a question on Honda's transmission options. Which would you choose? It sounded like you were not that impressed with their dct option, does that also include that es shifting buttons? Honda has a ridiculous assortment of trim options for their bikes for some reason.
I just can't get used to push button shifting and I don't feel like their auto mode shifts exactly when you'd want it too.. I'd go foot shift personally.. I really like that they have a manual footshift..
I guess it depends on the kind of riding you do, as for myself I ride all good Trails with my 2022 Rubicon Deluxe. I'm not interested in flying through the air or ripping a trail to pieces. I just wanna pass through and enjoy the view, I'm good with traveling a bit slower and taking care of my machine. I just love poking along enjoying the trails, my gun in the ratchets and a pocket full of bullets! Hard to beat that in my opinion. 😆
Well, you pretty much have 3 options most places.. Outlander, Sportsman, or cfmoto.. To keep it short, my choice would be the Outlander.. I have a Sportsman 1000 and I just can't see the Sportsman making a great touring model and you don't see many.. Much more common in the Outlander and I think the suspension will handle the second rider better.. Im not sold on cfmoto quality Yet personally.. But they are much less expensive
I'm looking to getting new atv i had a 250 trail boss in 90's looking to try another brand like Honda for reliability,any suggestions. Love to trail ride
I've ridden both but not back to back.. I prefer the Grizz myself because it feels more agile, I like the EPS, and the Ergos are just more familiar to me.. That doesn't mean it's the right for everyone.. If you like the KingQuad better, that's awesome! I do think the KQ has a bit more power and I love the footwells on it.. KQ is super solid..
You are in the middle of the woods and have 1 gallon of gas left. Now which one is your pick? When I ride with my buddies on the trails we are typically 30mph or less so speed isn't a big factor. However they are looking pretty nervous after a few hours running the 700cc + bikes while my rancher 420 and foreman 500 still have plenty in the tank. They treated me good enough to justify the rubicon 520 I just bought.
what’s your opinion on the polaris 570 efi x2 with the dump bed? i have one and i personally love that it does everything i want it’s sporty enough for where i ride and obviously a great utility vehicle with the dump bed and good for towing. the second fold up seat is a must have if u ever ride with anyone else on the back or your quad. plus because of the purposely built second seat it has a longer wheel base then any other quads on the market which makes it a monster for hip climbs and going down hills (with polaris’s active decent mode) wouldn’t recommend for mudding or racing of course but over all is a great quad for trails and just having fun with the boys
Awesome brother! I don't ride 2 ups very often but if you need one and like it, that's all that matters!!! It sometimes sucks to limit yourself on these list videos because you can't cover everything but anyone who has a wheeler with features they like made the right choice! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Great video. Thanks. What’s your choice between the Sportsman 850 and outlander 650 without power steering? I’d probably go Grizzly but it’s $2500 to $3000 more than these two. Thanks!
If you're looking at non power steering models the Sportsman will steer a little easier than the Outlander. I like the ergonomics of the Sportsman better than the Outlanders but I would say the Outlanders hold up better after 1000 miles. We have 2 Sportsman 1000s and both needed bushings, bearings, and had clutch issues at about 1000 miles. Our Outlander 1000r base model has held up better but the shocks are completely shot after about the same amount of time.. Id probably go Sportsman between those two but the decision gets harder if you're comparing 850 to 850 👍
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks. I'm on slower trails most of the time. Maybe the Grizzly is worth the extra for long term reliability. I thought Polaris resolved their clutch issues?
I love the Grizzly, It's been proven to be reliable.. But if you aren't pushing them hard, they'll all last pretty well. Im not sure if Polaris fixed the clutch some guys haven't had an issue..
@@DirtObseXXion king quad is still way better than the Honda in every way. Even as far as reliability goes if Honda is more reliable it’s by a very small margin just like Yamaha. And definitely more reliable than the Polaris and Can-am. I do have a question I used to own an outlander 570 and it put out so much heat on my left leg even at higher speeds I found myself always riding with my left leg hanging off trying to cool it off. Is that anything that you guy’s experienced?
@@appaloosaman9616 Yes absolutely.. Outlanders run WAY too hot.. It's because they're too lean.. We put a dobek style fuel optimizer on ours and add some fuel across the rpms.. Solves the problem completely
@@DirtObseXXion thanks for the reply and the info. I’m in the market for a new quad and have been having a really hard time deciding on what to go with this time. They all have things I like and things I dislike, but if I can fix the heat issue with the can-am that might tilt the scale back in their favor a bit. Thanks again I always enjoy your video’s.
@@appaloosaman9616 Yeah most modern machines are going to have heat issues. The best thing about the Outlanders is that they punch up in power. A 570 Outlander has 700 class power and the 650 Outty will out perform 700s in terms of power. The Outlander 650 is one of the best bangs for the buck in my opinion (depending on what you're prioritizing)..
My Polaris 570 Sportsman SP has plenty of power on the trails and for pretty much anything I need. I don’t even know why you would spend 12 to 14 grand on a 1000. This should have made your list. Very very popular quad.
Just outa curiosity, would you ever do a review on the Tracker 700ESP? It’s the same thing as the Arctic Cat, or Textron brand but I am curious about them. I have ridden one and liked it, seemed like it was a good machine with a lot of ground clearance and tire movement. Also, really good tow rating. Just curious if you have or will do a review on them? Thanks, and great video!
Thanks! I did a comparison on the Alterra vs cfmoto a few videos back.. ive ridden the AC version and I wasn't super impressed.. Everyone is different though, it's a decent price and if it has the things you're looking for, it should be solid..
@@DirtObseXXion I actually am going with the CFMoto. For the money it seems a better value. Hopefully getting mine this Tuesday. The more research I did on the AC, Textron Trackers, the more I shied away. Also, my mom bought one and even though there are A LOT of dealers, service is slow and parts are hard to come by.
@@kurtosborn6291 It's an entire ATV made of the cheapest Chinese parts they can put together.. That's why the cost is low.. In the past they've had very frequent maintenance intervals which means more friction and even though the frames look beefy, I've seen some very suspect damage to them (the SXSs not the ATVs).. I think they're improving, but if im spending my money It's going to be on one of the reputable long established OEMs
That's definitely a good mud unit but they aren't great trail machines... Personally, I think the canam xmr's are better for mudding because of better intake placement, less rear suspension drag, and more aggressive clutching.. The highlighters are good too tho.. Either machine would be fun..
if you go with the Grizzly 700 and your not a fan of Big mud, You take the SE/XTR on 14in rims/27inch Zillas or the regular EPS with 12in rims and 26inch Tires ? I really like the look of the SE/XTR but not sure of the Square tires and the need for 14in rims ... Do the Eps is more peppy and more plush ??
If I didn't want the zillas I'd go with the regular EPS. I believe the clutching might be a little different on the SE to compensate for the heavier tires
The only reason I left it off is because I did a Japanese 700 class comparison before this and called the Grizzly better than the KingQuad.. The King Quad is great, and I'd definitely consider it, I'm actually considering one personally because my buddy is wanting a Grizzly and I want to do an honest no BS head to head... I like the Grizzly more because of handling and power steering.. It would come down to price and availability for me because they're both really good and I think you'd be happy with either.
Ok! Thank you! I just watched that one now. Quick Thoughts on the smaller displacement kodiak/grizzly/king quad for adults? I enjoy your guyses videos!
@@Violinmatt2 The smaller displacement quads are plenty for most trail riding. I'd stick with Suzuki or Yamaha personally.. Top speed is typically in the mid to upper 30mph but they'll do fine as long as your not wanting to run larger/heavier tires. I don't recommend the Sportsman 450 due to the poor build quality of the new ones. The older 500s were great, the new ones are cheap..
Most 4x4s are going to be decent on rocky terrain but honestly if the trails are truly bad then the Sportsman or Scrambler S models have a huge advatage especially for keeping up with SXSs. Polaris's quality is always suspect and they're super expensive. Another (possibly) good alternative is that new Alterra Black Hills edition which is the only "purpose built" machine for crawling with 28" tires and gear reduction.. It really depends on how bad the terrain is though, because like I said, any 4x4 can crawl pretty well.
That’s all good for youthful riding that might keep you from becoming an old guy like me one day should your ride end abruptly. This old guy prefers the utility of his Honda Rancher 4x4 with power steering and it ms utility and towing capabilities make it practical for us old guys who have better things to do then sling dirt lol, ride safe kiddos!!
I’ve had the Yamaha Grizzly 660 for 18 years now. Never burned a belt. 2500 miles mud water rock sand and anything else. It goes great. But what got me here was “sure it may not reach 80 mph but that doesn’t matter on the trails” I don’t know how the 700 doesn’t reach 80 because my 660 maxes out at 65 😂 no hate tho big fan. I hate that I don’t see a lot of Grizzlys on the trail anymore.
@@DirtObseXXion they are very fast especially for trail riding. It sucks that everyone is either on a can am or a Polaris. Not enough people are on Yamahas anymore.
55 yr old on this end that rides all day on my 19 can am outlander max with the 1000r, it can cruise all day long with a pace that my buds hate. they always are telling me to slow down. pppfffftttt keep up! truthfully the thing stays planted and gobs of power with every squirt you give the motor.
like the Brute but they desperately need an update.. Better brakes, diff lock engagement, suspension, powersteering, and higher quality packages would go a long way for Kawi without updating the engine or chasis... Just my opinion tho..
I could see why only a few were medium atvs and most were extra large. The smaller engine can't handle the obesity 🤣. Lol, jokes aside, great video
😐

@@DirtObseXXion your welcome
I’ve owned several EPS Brutes and an Outlander 850. Love them for what they are. Also owned arctic cat (don’t want to discuss that) and had terrible experiences with Polaris. Polaris may have gotten better since the last ones I’ve owned but couldn’t go back after multiple issues across several quads. I now have a 2019 Grizzly 700 SE with clutch mods, tuner and exhaust and is phenomenal. As far a trail machine it’s incredible. It’s the Swiss Army knife of atvs! At the end of the day, you need a Gruzzly for general trail riding and ANY twin cylinder from Can-Am/Polaris/Kawasaki for just all out grins. Confucius say - Man need Grizzly for trails, Man need twin cylinder for thrills. Buy both, it’s the secret to true happiness.
Perfect comment! Agree with all.. Although for me the key to true happiness is the Raptor 700
Yep I hear you loud and clear! Currently have a 2004 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 (wish I didn’t) a 2018 Sportsman 570sp (its great looking but weakly built imo) that Im about to sell and just picked up a brand BF750 that is a monster! Debated between this and the Grizzly 700, but went with this. Yamaha offers more trim pieces with the XTR model, but those are impossible to find.
Artic Cat and Polaris machines are considered junk here in my area, don't make the mistake of buying either of these brands because of some guys bragging video!! You might be sorry if you do!
I was 6'1, 300+ lbs on a Honda Recon going up the backway to CrownKing, AZ back in highschool. I never once needed more power. Gear selection, for me, is absolutely essential when trail-riding and rock-crawling. Eitherwise you only get a fraction of the power in each gear.
Right on
Yessir
Here with an Ozark and I love riding the green machine. Only 2x4 but handles everything thrown at here
Love the video. I’m just asking if you could also do a another video with ATV’s in the same class. Like 500’s / 700’s / 800’s and 1000’s that would be great 👍 😎
That's a good idea. I'll try to do it.
Definitely solid choices. I definitely think the Polaris, Sportsman 570 Should get a fair shake. The 570 has become a very reliable engine and the actual ride is pretty legendary. They're 2021 model Is a pretty incredible machine.
True! I did this vid before the 21 came out, but yeah I like the new styling
Best closeout ever! Who are these chubby bearded guys, who are so wise in the ways of science?! They put together great lists.
I... Am an Enchanter..
Good vid. Interesting picks.
Thanks, even got a Honda in there!
The TRUE list of best trail riding ATVs in 2020 is literally anything that puts a smile on your face!
Can't argue with that!
That’s the way I should have done it haha, I shouldn’t have ordered them. What a coincidence, uploading two “ranked” ATV vids in one day haha! You made a good list, I don’t have any disagreements with it!
Thanks Lando!! I thought that was funny.. I've been working on this one off and on for a few weeks but had those sxs releases to work on..
Lando got hate mail from a certain big bearded dude...Warrior over the Raptor...I’m gonna have a hard time sleeping with that on my mind
Flying Brian DO blame the guy riding the Outlander, I should’ve known better.
Dirt ObseXXion shoot, I need to start taking my time with them. I had the idea for a couple days and got everything wrote up in about a day and had it filmed in an hour. I like the way you did yours better though, I’ll write that down!
@@TeamWaxOffroad You just gotta find a style that works for you.. I thought your video was awesome because it was genuine.
Very informative, and we have a grizzly! Awesome footage and loving the dialogue! Girls from Oz. 😊😊😊😊😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇨
My 04 Rancher 350 4x4 is a solid running bike with 3800 miles and no issues
Of course dude! It's a Honda!
Great video buddy! Lotta good information as usual!
You do a nice job at this stuff! Now was it chubby bearded with a narrow mid section?? Hmm?..
Something had a narrow mid section.. All hack gotta watch the video again.. hahahahaha!!
It was not me... my mid section is not narrow! Lol! Thanks KC!
Dirt ObseXXion Sportsman 1000, narrow mid section.. LOL
This bearded chubby fellow, agree's with this list. But thinks D.O might be missing out on one of the best trail cruising machines. I personally have a soft spot in my heart for the KQ 500, I personally have found KQ's in general to be very smooth riding/engaging running machines. It may not make the hair stand up on your neck, but it will treat you right on a long day's trail ride. Just my 2 cents. Love the video's as always.
No argument there! Thanks Duke!
Raptor can ziptie a box to it. My 400 ex is good for trails. Brute as well mine was 7k back then
I'm still on a 325 magnum 2x4 haha. Looking to upgrade in the spring/summer thanks for the list.
Awesome! Good luck!
Great video boys 😎😎😎
Someday ill add a 4x4 to my garage 🤔
That 2021 Renegade is looking sweet! 👍
my yfz450r is quit the trail monster! 51in rear wheel width makes this bike so damn stable while ripping through turns. plenty of power at any rpm makes this quad very fun.
Heck yeah brother, we love our sport quads!
Id like to know more about how you maintain your atv. Oil etc.
I’m still loving my 18 850sp
I'm excited to get my Sportsman back!
Just got a 2012 850 outlander road it a couple of times but having trouble with the fan not turning on and it getting hot. any ideas I got another fan plugged it in and the same thing the fan will not turn on??
@@jasonsab4934 It's gotta be either a relay or a your temperature guage not working..
Thank you I appreciate you getting back to me I already checked the relay so I will check the temperature gauge as it goes into limp mode with high temps...
*Belt slip* lol
Grizzly 700👍🏻👍🏻 I was surprised to not see the kingquad 750, it’s comparable to the grizzly 700. And interestingly enough, the two grizzly 700 in our moose hunt group, didn’t want to pull the moose out,..no worries, kingquad took care of it🍻🤷🏼♂️🤙🏻
The kingquad is a good machine for sure, but this video was about trail riding specifically.. The Grizzly handles quite a bit better and is less clunky than the KQ.. All personal preference though, both great machines.. 👍
I’ve rode both the king seemed way smoother in every way the engine don’t vibrate near as much way easier to switch gears ,The Yamaha does do better at high speeds though, but this new King is hard to beat Suzuki has stepped there game up big time
Where’s The king quad
Because the king quad is shit
In a dump
It's not one of their favorites so it didn't make their favorite list.
It’s is just as good as the grizzly
Sitting in the dealership cause no one wants one
I like the bearded chubby guy scale. Great recipe for anyone that want's to get into a ATV is # 1 on the list. The Griz is the go to machine for sure. Fast and fun would be renegade for power and speed imo. Cheers boys🍻🍻
Thanks pisty!!! The renegade could have easily been on the list, itll probably be my next machine, but it's hard not to recommend an Outlander over the Renny for what you get for the money..
@@DirtObseXXion absolutely. Price point the list was 100%
Outlander 650 is a sleeper, good pick! 🙂
Definitely! Thanks Marauder!
Yeah I like it cause people see 650 they are like meh then we race and they are mind fucked ;p I raced a cfmoto sxs 1000 and we were equal....
great vid. Luv the bigboy (like myself lol) rompin on the outlander 650. I guess I don't have to hop right on to a 1000. Maybe the 800 max will be the sweet spot.
Thanks! The 650/850s are a good value sweetspot in the market in my opinion
You can not go very fast in the woods or on a trail anyways, these are not dirt bikes, and my 1984 3 wheeler Big Red will beat any big 4 wheeler in tight woods, as the 4 wheeler has to back up, Think more about handling, midrange power, and 4wd traction, and you will not wend out 1000 on a trail or in tight woods. The Honda Rubicon and Grizzly 700 also has a locker on 4wd the 1000 Polaris does not, only AWD which might be good on some parts of the trail, but not in rough conditions such as steep mountains and lose sand hill climbs. The Honda is beltless and might be the most reliable many like the Grizzly.
Yes, The Yamaha Grizzly is an amazing machine.
I miss mine... sometimes
Dirt ObseXXion kinda like an old flame, the memories are fond, but a run in on real life...meh
Grizzly enough to have fun, not enough power to break things.
Was Yamaha Rider all my life, couldn't beat them. Last year bought a CF Moto 800 and I couldn't believe how good of a machine it was for the Price. I clipped a tree doing 74 with it early in this spring. And then after insurance was done I got another one and still to this day I've never had a better ATV than my CF Moto 800 XC. Just bought my wife
Wife a uforce 1000. She loves it. I have 30-in cryptids on both machines. And a clutch kit in both. Shocking how responsive both of them are I can stand up my $800 anywheres great great machines. A friend of mine has a Can-Am 800. Can't imagine spending that much for basically the same machine and mine doesn't break down. die hard CF Moto fan now.
Thanks for the input!!! We test ride fir ATVonDemand and we're hoping to get our hands on a cfmoto atv at some point.. Been hearing good things..
gtfo sissy
i love the grizzlys gear shifter
It's an awesome machine!
Owner of an outlander max xt 650 2020 and very happy with it 😜
Awesome machine!

Being a big KY boy like y’all I love this channel
Lol! Thanks brother!
Awesome vid!!
Thanks!
well I gotta say the bearded chubby guy comments made me laugh and hit that sub button lol
Lol! Thanks!!
Love it ! Does older chubby gut with a goatee love his older Raptor (2011) ? Hell yeah & I finally made a good Top List for a change lol
Haha! You know it Mad Mike!
First time viewer. Enjoyed the review. Would be interested in a budget minded review of side by sides. I just want to go on a Put Put Trail Ride.
Thanks! I could probably put that on the list!
I like my predator 500 it’s actually pretty damn good in trails
I have a 2019 Kodiak 700 special edition and love it... Does everything the grizzly can do just in a smaller package and less money
Awesome!
We own a Polaris Honda and just sold a 350 Yamaha it was old so we are buying a 450 Yamaha and we have a kids raptor 700. Also this has to be one of the most underrated channel ever
Very cool! Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the channel!
@@DirtObseXXion np it's just you are good at this
King quad 750 is a monster ....
These are all great but for me Polaris are more comfortable over long have a Honda now and can’t argue with the reliability but a lot of our rides are 100 miles sometimes more and the Polaris is so comfortable
You got that right, I have a Sportsman 1000 and I've done 300 miles in 3 days.. Not many other machines id want to do that on! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Good video. I do have a question on Honda's transmission options. Which would you choose? It sounded like you were not that impressed with their dct option, does that also include that es shifting buttons? Honda has a ridiculous assortment of trim options for their bikes for some reason.
I just can't get used to push button shifting and I don't feel like their auto mode shifts exactly when you'd want it too.. I'd go foot shift personally.. I really like that they have a manual footshift..
I guess it depends on the kind of riding you do, as for myself I ride all good Trails with my 2022 Rubicon Deluxe. I'm not interested in flying through the air or ripping a trail to pieces. I just wanna pass through and enjoy the view, I'm good with traveling a bit slower and taking care of my machine. I just love poking along enjoying the trails, my gun in the ratchets and a pocket full of bullets! Hard to beat that in my opinion. 😆
Great video guys! But, I need help deciding on a 2up.....can you guys help?
Well, you pretty much have 3 options most places.. Outlander, Sportsman, or cfmoto.. To keep it short, my choice would be the Outlander.. I have a Sportsman 1000 and I just can't see the Sportsman making a great touring model and you don't see many.. Much more common in the Outlander and I think the suspension will handle the second rider better.. Im not sold on cfmoto quality
Yet personally.. But they are much less expensive
I have cfmoto 500-a, but kind of want the grizzly now :D
I'm looking to getting new atv i had a 250 trail boss in 90's looking to try another brand like Honda for reliability,any suggestions. Love to trail ride
I'm a fan of the Yamaha's for trail riding!
I have the sportsman 850, everyone I ride with has grizzly’s. They poke fun at my lazy boy on wheels. But I will take the comfort all day long.
Oh yeah! The Sportsman is definitely the most comfy atv ever!
Has anyone rode the current Grizz and King Quad models back to back? I find the KQ 750 very hard to beat.
I've ridden both but not back to back.. I prefer the Grizz myself because it feels more agile, I like the EPS, and the Ergos are just more familiar to me.. That doesn't mean it's the right for everyone.. If you like the KingQuad better, that's awesome! I do think the KQ has a bit more power and I love the footwells on it.. KQ is super solid..
2 Yamaha,s on the same list makes one Helluva Statement...Grizzly For the WIN💪💪💪.
I'm mad because I've owned and sold the first 2 ATV's on this list and now I'm pining for something new!
You've got good taste! I'm sure you'll make the right decision!
You are in the middle of the woods and have 1 gallon of gas left. Now which one is your pick? When I ride with my buddies on the trails we are typically 30mph or less so speed isn't a big factor. However they are looking pretty nervous after a few hours running the 700cc + bikes while my rancher 420 and foreman 500 still have plenty in the tank. They treated me good enough to justify the rubicon 520 I just bought.
In that scenario I'm going ranchee 420 all day! It's a great machine any time
Love my Rubicon 520 Deluxe!
I took my Grizzly 700 out yesterday and I wish I had the 450. These trails shown here look like roads and my avg speed was 5 kph
what’s your opinion on the polaris 570 efi x2 with the dump bed? i have one and i personally love that it does everything i want it’s sporty enough for where i ride and obviously a great utility vehicle with the dump bed and good for towing. the second fold up seat is a must have if u ever ride with anyone else on the back or your quad. plus because of the purposely built second seat it has a longer wheel base then any other quads on the market which makes it a monster for hip climbs and going down hills (with polaris’s active decent mode) wouldn’t recommend for mudding or racing of course but over all is a great quad for trails and just having fun with the boys
Awesome brother! I don't ride 2 ups very often but if you need one and like it, that's all that matters!!! It sometimes sucks to limit yourself on these list videos because you can't cover everything but anyone who has a wheeler with features they like made the right choice! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Dirt ObseXXion Thanks man love the vids keep them up 👍
@@FukemMotorsports Thanks dude! We're working on a series for @ATVonDemand right now, just posted the first vid tonight..
Dirt ObseXXion i’ll be sure to check it out!!👌
Well looks like I have 2 ATVs in number 1 spot and 1 ATV in the number 2 spot. I must say that the Sportsman XP 1000 is buy far my favorite.
I'm ready to get mine back...
Great video. Thanks. What’s your choice between the Sportsman 850 and outlander 650 without power steering? I’d probably go Grizzly but it’s $2500 to $3000 more than these two. Thanks!
If you're looking at non power steering models the Sportsman will steer a little easier than the Outlander. I like the ergonomics of the Sportsman better than the Outlanders but I would say the Outlanders hold up better after 1000 miles. We have 2 Sportsman 1000s and both needed bushings, bearings, and had clutch issues at about 1000 miles. Our Outlander 1000r base model has held up better but the shocks are completely shot after about the same amount of time.. Id probably go Sportsman between those two but the decision gets harder if you're comparing 850 to 850 👍
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks. I'm on slower trails most of the time. Maybe the Grizzly is worth the extra for long term reliability. I thought Polaris resolved their clutch issues?
I love the Grizzly, It's been proven to be reliable.. But if you aren't pushing them hard, they'll all last pretty well. Im not sure if Polaris fixed the clutch some guys haven't had an issue..
Yamaha and honda are the only option to me. They last
@@hurricane8634 same here. I think I’ll add can-am though I’d love to have one of em
Suzuki King quad 750 gets no love i cannot understand why its very underrated in my opinion.
I agree, but when it comes down to picking something from the Japan in the 700 class I still like the Grizzly better
@@DirtObseXXion king quad is still way better than the Honda in every way. Even as far as reliability goes if Honda is more reliable it’s by a very small margin just like Yamaha. And definitely more reliable than the Polaris and Can-am. I do have a question I used to own an outlander 570 and it put out so much heat on my left leg even at higher speeds I found myself always riding with my left leg hanging off trying to cool it off. Is that anything that you guy’s experienced?
@@appaloosaman9616 Yes absolutely.. Outlanders run WAY too hot.. It's because they're too lean.. We put a dobek style fuel optimizer on ours and add some fuel across the rpms.. Solves the problem completely
@@DirtObseXXion thanks for the reply and the info. I’m in the market for a new quad and have been having a really hard time deciding on what to go with this time. They all have things I like and things I dislike, but if I can fix the heat issue with the can-am that might tilt the scale back in their favor a bit. Thanks again I always enjoy your video’s.
@@appaloosaman9616 Yeah most modern machines are going to have heat issues. The best thing about the Outlanders is that they punch up in power. A 570 Outlander has 700 class power and the 650 Outty will out perform 700s in terms of power. The Outlander 650 is one of the best bangs for the buck in my opinion (depending on what you're prioritizing)..
My Polaris 570 Sportsman SP has plenty of power on the trails and for pretty much anything I need. I don’t even know why you would spend 12 to 14 grand on a 1000. This should have made your list. Very very popular quad.
You're right, the 570 is extremely popular.. That could've made the list for sure, but ima big fat guy so I like the bigger Sportsmans...
Great content man. I’m in the market for an ATV, ditching the Polaris General. Family lost interest but I haven’t.
That's half good news! If you got the right crew to ride with ATVs are far more fun in my opinion!
Just outa curiosity, would you ever do a review on the Tracker 700ESP? It’s the same thing as the Arctic Cat, or Textron brand but I am curious about them. I have ridden one and liked it, seemed like it was a good machine with a lot of ground clearance and tire movement. Also, really good tow rating. Just curious if you have or will do a review on them? Thanks, and great video!
Thanks! I did a comparison on the Alterra vs cfmoto a few videos back.. ive ridden the AC version and I wasn't super impressed.. Everyone is different though, it's a decent price and if it has the things you're looking for, it should be solid..
@@DirtObseXXion I actually am going with the CFMoto. For the money it seems a better value. Hopefully getting mine this Tuesday. The more research I did on the AC, Textron Trackers, the more I shied away. Also, my mom bought one and even though there are A LOT of dealers, service is slow and parts are hard to come by.
@@kurtosborn6291 I hope the Cfmoto works out fir you... Im personally not sold on em yet..
@@DirtObseXXion out of curiosity, what keeps you from liking them?
@@kurtosborn6291 It's an entire ATV made of the cheapest Chinese parts they can put together.. That's why the cost is low.. In the past they've had very frequent maintenance intervals which means more friction and even though the frames look beefy, I've seen some very suspect damage to them (the SXSs not the ATVs).. I think they're improving, but if im spending my money It's going to be on one of the reputable long established OEMs
I’m look for a sport utility quad do you have any suggestions?But will also go in mud
The Yamaha Grizzly is my personal favorite.. The SE version comes with moderate mud tires
I’m looking at getting a 19 Polaris highlighter 850 sportsman or a outlander xmr 650 what do you think I wanna mud a little
That's definitely a good mud unit but they aren't great trail machines... Personally, I think the canam xmr's are better for mudding because of better intake placement, less rear suspension drag, and more aggressive clutching.. The highlighters are good too tho.. Either machine would be fun..
Thanks
Even if xmr is 650 would it feel close to the highlifters 850 power wise
if you go with the Grizzly 700 and your not a fan of Big mud, You take the SE/XTR on 14in rims/27inch Zillas or the regular EPS with 12in rims and 26inch Tires ? I really like the look of the SE/XTR but not sure of the Square tires and the need for 14in rims ... Do the Eps is more peppy and more plush ??
If I didn't want the zillas I'd go with the regular EPS. I believe the clutching might be a little different on the SE to compensate for the heavier tires
@@DirtObseXXion Do the Eps is more peppy (lighter tires) and more plush (smaller rims) ??
It would likely feel more peppy with lighter tires and clutching that wasn't biased to the low end yes.. It is a very plush ride
What pushes the king quads out of this list? Thanks (looking for a 2 atvs to do both work and some light play, your videos have been helpful)
The only reason I left it off is because I did a Japanese 700 class comparison before this and called the Grizzly better than the KingQuad.. The King Quad is great, and I'd definitely consider it, I'm actually considering one personally because my buddy is wanting a Grizzly and I want to do an honest no BS head to head... I like the Grizzly more because of handling and power steering.. It would come down to price and availability for me because they're both really good and I think you'd be happy with either.
Ok! Thank you! I just watched that one now.
Quick Thoughts on the smaller displacement kodiak/grizzly/king quad for adults?
I enjoy your guyses videos!
@@Violinmatt2 The smaller displacement quads are plenty for most trail riding. I'd stick with Suzuki or Yamaha personally.. Top speed is typically in the mid to upper 30mph but they'll do fine as long as your not wanting to run larger/heavier tires. I don't recommend the Sportsman 450 due to the poor build quality of the new ones. The older 500s were great, the new ones are cheap..
Thank you again
Trying to figure out a good atv for trail/rocky terrain to keep up with a side by side, but I’m 5,4. What would be the best option?
Most 4x4s are going to be decent on rocky terrain but honestly if the trails are truly bad then the Sportsman or Scrambler S models have a huge advatage especially for keeping up with SXSs. Polaris's quality is always suspect and they're super expensive. Another (possibly) good alternative is that new Alterra Black Hills edition which is the only "purpose built" machine for crawling with 28" tires and gear reduction.. It really depends on how bad the terrain is though, because like I said, any 4x4 can crawl pretty well.
Where was the raptor portion filmed at? Looks like an awesome set of trails!
Devil Anse Trails, part of Hatfield McCoy in Delbarton WV.
Do you think the Honda recon 450 would be good on simple trails?
I think the recon is a 250, but yeah it would do fine.. Probably better than you think..
That’s all good for youthful riding that might keep you from becoming an old guy like me one day should your ride end abruptly. This old guy prefers the utility of his Honda Rancher 4x4 with power steering and it ms utility and towing capabilities make it practical for us old guys who have better things to do then sling dirt lol, ride safe kiddos!!
I’ve had the Yamaha Grizzly 660 for 18 years now. Never burned a belt. 2500 miles mud water rock sand and anything else. It goes great. But what got me here was “sure it may not reach 80 mph but that doesn’t matter on the trails” I don’t know how the 700 doesn’t reach 80 because my 660 maxes out at 65 😂 no hate tho big fan. I hate that I don’t see a lot of Grizzlys on the trail anymore.
The 700 will hit about 65 but it struggles to get there... Still very fast for trail riding
@@DirtObseXXion they are very fast especially for trail riding. It sucks that everyone is either on a can am or a Polaris. Not enough people are on Yamahas anymore.
55 yr old on this end that rides all day on my 19 can am outlander max with the 1000r, it can cruise all day long with a pace that my buds hate. they always are telling me to slow down. pppfffftttt keep up! truthfully the thing stays planted and gobs of power with every squirt you give the motor.
No argument there, we love the Outlander
What about the Kawasaki Bruteforce? Great quad with a 750cc V-Twin! I feel like it should of been on this list.
like the Brute but they desperately need an update.. Better brakes, diff lock engagement, suspension, powersteering, and higher quality packages would go a long way for Kawi without updating the engine or chasis... Just my opinion tho..
