The engine braking on the old model suits me perfectly. The rear storage isn't the slightest bit waterproof like the seals would lead you to think but hey, I prefer a leaky box than no box at all
I completely agree. I love my bike, I have the trail premium. But the kick in the teeth from the simple losses of storage, as well as the lack of attention to detail. I'd rather have bought a 2018
Aesthetically looks more pleasing even though the front storage is flimsy. I don't like that they have removed the rear under storage area. I've always found that storage useful.
When I bought my 2021 last month, it was right when I was able to afford it. I had been researching for months, visiting dealers, and getting financially set. Nobody had any. One dealer said $500 non-refundable to order, with no guarantee of a machine, date, or further details! 🤯 Kinda that year, yknow? Stopped in one day and saw her shining in the sunlight. 🤩 I knew. The idea of waiting 6 weeks would have been unbearable 😫 When the lender questioned value to cost, explaining current availability was simple. 😎 This base 570 efi is bad as Badoo!
Nice looking machine, but deleting the rear storage makes no sense. But what doesn't polaris listen to? Where are the 2"receivers already? Everything fits a 2", nothing fits the baby receiver. For instance, i have farm implements that I use only on my other ATV, which makes replacing it with a Polaris impossible. Shame on you polaris, everyone has said it, just do it.
Really good video. You guys do a great job in vehicle overviews. Don’t need to watch anything else on RUclips to understand the differences. Good work.
i just ordered my 21 570 trail. upgrading from a 03 sportsman 700 twin. im excited. thanks to you guys for the awesome review. I do think you should do reviews on the other 570 models, since there are quite a few. thx
Not a lot of stock in BC right now, so I found 45km used and jumped on it. It had heated grips installed, so my wife stole it immediately, as well the accessory plug works very nicely with her heated jacket. I am now on her 2014 550. Very happy, still in break-in, but this thing will serve us for many years.
Man, the trail 570 is nice with the a-arms up front, but in my neck of the woods no dealer had one, and besides the trail model is big Buck's, I got a 2022 450 with power steering rides great for me !
No mention of that “water/mud inlet tube” located above the rear tire (opposite the exhaust); horrible mistake along with deleting the rear storage box. Other than that; great machine!!
I have the 21 570 Trail and its really been less of an issue with the CVT exhaust and more with the intake. There is a shroud that stops water getting on the belt had it in water up to the hubs and no slipping at all. But most of the junk comes in through the CVT intake
I enjoy the reviews you guys post up. Thank you for the great work. So many others have awful camera work or audio. Now I just can't wait to see a review for the 50" RZR Trail Ultimate. As much as I love my speed demon RS1; I need a 50" machine and I like the sound of the Ride Command. Too bad the Ultimate has to have the speakers, but it's the only way to get the better shocks and GPS.
Do you guys have any issues or thoughts about the 2021 CVT exhaust location above the left rear tire? I've seen so many videos with people complaining about the location and exhaust tube being open, but no one who actually had issues with it.
Great breakdown. I was in the market for a new ATV and ordered a 570 Trail, partially because of this video (and some other research). Thanks for the info.
I like my 19. Bigger storage. Rear storage. Don’t have that funky belt exhaust. If I ever find the battery to be an issue I’ll just buy a relocation kit. I use mine for hunting and average trail riding.
good luck finding a new one off the shelf. I have a 2018 570 Hunter edition I bought gently used and I have no complaints with it other than the battery position. Thing is a work horse and does everything I ask it to do. I can't imagine a world where I would ever want to sell it to buy a new model even though I could probably get what I paid for it because everything is so expensive right now. Maybe eventually I'll upgrade to a Ranger but unless they completely redesign the Sportsman I don't see the value being there to sell/buy.
And how come nobody goes over the belt exhaust it basically just a tube that comes out right above the back left tire so if your going to want to go through any water your going to have to extend your belt exhaust
In an earlier review, you were very critical of the flimsy front compartment lid. This is a deal killer for me as I use my ATV for hunting and need to be able to strap heavy loads securely to the front platform. I like all the improvements you demonstrate here, but again, I can not purchase a 2021 with this flimsy front compartment. Do you think there is any chance this will be fixed in next year’s model? If so, I will wait. If not, I will purchase the CanAm..
If they would just cut an 1/16 inch of metal to fit the bottom side of the lid it might fix it, in my opinion it should be a recalled, that's literally just junk and they know it!
Polaris has always had a very comfortable ride it was big difference going from an sportsman 850 to a 2021 outlander Xmr 1000 rides great but not near as good as the Polaris 👍🏼👍🏼 great video Luke
@@kawi5827 I know my 1000 is pretty smooth in normal mode but in sport it tends to have more of a snap well because of sport mode and mine will spin the tires on dry concrete it has a lot of power and feels like it just goes and goes my Polaris was very smooth and picked up more towards the mid range Canam is right off the bat
@@dcsales2007 😂 I guess I’ve done got so use to it I mean like I said the Polaris rides a hell of a lot better but this one isnt bad and I do a lot of trail riding around my property will definitely have to get another set of tires for the trails and keep the cryptids for the mud or who knows.

Great comparison video, I myself have a 2019 and love it. I really do like the design upgrades they did to the 2021 but idk why they did away with the rear storage.
I love my 2019 model as well but I also love the 2021 improvements; especially the battery relocation and the removable front grill. They should have kept the rear storage compartment though!
@@nicholasmapes Is that why, wow would have never guessed. Does it actually work or no. Bk that is a big issue with the sportsman's they get water very easily in the belt box area.
@@codyproefrock954 i don't own a 2021, but looking at the new design of vent, it looks like water and mud could get in very easily... the old design had the vent under the seat along side the engine air intake, which imo was much better...
Maybe Polaris should concentrate on correcting fuel pump issues, heat from engine exhaust burning legs, battery location. Making them affordable to work on and repair. The user should be able to purchase the same diagnostic equipment as the dealers and repair shops. After owning a 2016 sportsman, I'll never buy a brand new fourwheeler. Too expensive to repair and warranties are pretty much non existant for a $8-15k or more vehicle. Polaris isn't the only one screwing the customers. Buyers beware of repair costs.
fair, except you could just get an extremely reliable ATV and totally forget the entire maintenance cost issue. I just bought a 2022 Honda Rubicon because I know about Hondas reliability. I don't know a single person with a Polaris over 7-8 years old but I have a 1986 Honda that runs perfectly fine and I know 10-15 people with 15+ year old Hondas without any issues. As someone who isn't performance orientated and more focused on a nice ATV that will last me well over 15 years I bought a Honda. Its not everyone's cup of tea because some people think the only thing that matters are 90hp Can-am. but I think if anyone is looking for a reliable ATV, id rather spend 10k on a new Honda that may not ride as well as a Polaris than spend 7 on a Polaris that will cost me 3 grand in maintenance in 5 years to the point where something critical happens to the trans or motor and I need to buy a new ATV completely.
@@nathan22outdoors8 my dad had a 1990 something Polaris that runs like a scolded dog. He isn't very nice to it either, actual pretty much neglects it in every way. Fires up and rides whenever. I agree Hondas are nice machines. I still have my 1985 dirt bike I got new when I was eleven. My son rode it for several yes, until he out grew it. But their prices are outrageous too. My point with the above post is the new vehicles any of the have too many electronics that aren't manufacture to last. I think they do just the opposite, make them cheap so you will have to replace the parts or the machine. I'll way, kids and wife have no interest in atvs/utvs anymore. None of my friends go, kinda boring going by yourself. Sold all of it and just ride my old Harley. Also, I stopped watching this channel because these guys just suck up to can am, Honda and Polaris etc. They only respond to the people who tell them how much they "love" their videos. It'd be nice if the did some honest reviews and actually tell the manufacturers how bad their machines really are.
@@Lewdog65 nah this channel definitely sucks off polaris the most, every single comparison they have done they made the polaris the winner for "value" because none of them see the reliability of having a bike for longer than 2 years. Also honda has kept their bikes pretty much bullet proof for years, all the buttons on the bars are pretty close to the same as they were in 86, they are also the only company that still has a pullstart along with electric start on their bikes. And you can obviously still get them foot shift, not sure how many other manufacturers offer that either.
What I have read from forums, 2021 has so much problems. Same fault codes pop up all the time. And it's funny how everybody talks about muddin with polaris. It can't handle a little bit water because it leaks from variator case and then you have water/snow/liquid in your clutch.
@@just_one_opinion and what good did that make? It will not repait the problem :D if you are driving over small ditch, get water in your clutch and got stuck in the water. Then you can't drain it :D I guess Polaris has dropped their quality over quantity because of high demand and that's why 1/100 may be working ATV ':P
Great video. I would like to see a follow up on what would the typical extra cost would be if someone would decide to do the upgrade? What can you get for the old? Fsbo or trade? Average price of this new one? What’s the effect on the pocketbook? Unless of course this content is just based on new features vs old and the particular person already determined that the price difference is ok.
I notice you didn't mention the crappy way they have changed the front rack. Cover over the battery. It's flimsy and feels like it will come off. Also bends in when you lay something heavy across it. . They should have left that alone or made it more solid. Just got rid of my new 570 and now have a new Yamaha grizzly. It has sturdy racks and covers on both the front and back. Sorry Polaris. Maybe in a couple of years I will come back.
Good to hear this. Was debating on the Grizzly 700XTR and the Polaris 570 Ultimate Trail...the Grizz wins hands down across the board. Polaris just can’t seem to pull it altogether - there is always a thing or two, or ten - that are just wrong or poorly engineered. Grizzly is solid AF.
The lack of rear storage is almost a deal breaker for me. I rely on it for my travel tools. The tires aren't enough for make me upgrade because I can always put custom and larger tires on my 2020.
Luke - nice comparison - reading the threads below is all about a lid or storage plus a few others - yes when riding everyone worries about the storage when going down the trail - these people have more time to worry this over a quality ATV from Polaris. Mine is now 12 years old with under 65 hours and will last another 12 years. Cheers and stay safe
Bought the 570 Premium because they had one and the price was right. Loved it. Rode it twice. Giving it to the wife and just ordered this one. Cant wait. Yes, I'm broke now. But I'm gonna have some fun with the family.
Thinking about switching from a 2018 Artic Cat Alterra 700 to this Polaris Sportsman 570. Will I notice a big difference in power from the 700? Is the 570 made for a 250 lb man? Seems like it should be more for middle schoolers than men...
i wanna know are these quads any good i see bad reviews i see good ones i wanna hear a polaris owner thats had his or her sportsman for atleast a year or two i wanna buy something reliable when im out there in the bush or just going for cruise every now and then are the axles good? hows the belt on these things are they scared of water? do they like mud or dislike mud and how much do you pay for damages yearly?
Both are great. Yamaha makes great machines. You might just have to flip a coin. I've had both. Polaris ride can't be beat. But yamahas are indestructible
Only problem is not many dealers have allot to choose from. They are highly limited to on floor models. And it seems to be getting worse on floor models. They aren’t getting units in in large numbers at all.
Well I fine the 570 is good for the average rider and someone getting into the sport , can’t really complain, but overall all for the new model really not to many would notice The difference in why waste more money, if you’re more serious rider you you wouldn’t have a 570 right!!!
Have 2020 Sportsman 570 Premium LE not in a hurry to trade it works just fine, the tires though are 100% garbage looks like Polaris got a Big Lots deal on them, also the battery up top (2021) gets wet & full of mud so location is subjective, I like the front storage 2021 will not work for me also front rack/plastic cover is flimsy 2021's I have seen on the trail have warped, also really like the rear storage why they removed it is anybody's guess. 2022 should have all the issues addressed, 2021 is a solid pass for us.
Well, You have sue got me to thinking about buying the 2021 Polaris 570. It would mainly be used around the house, To pull little wagon haul wood in. Little riding around the place. Should I spring for the power steering or better suspension??
Now Polaris needs to improve quality, fit and finish. They still are no where near Honda in quality, fit and finish. However, after owning my 2012 Sportsman 400HO, I do like all the updates to the new 570. Don't care about less storage, thats what trail boxes are for. Can you show us a close up of the front diff? Do you need to slide the winch out to service front diff?
To be honest with u guys, I would not spend the money for a new one, I have a 2014 570 model and every newer atv that polaris had, they always took a guard off or cheapened in some way. I'll stick to my 2014 till I see quality, the proper guards, plus the large storage areas back.
I think that polaris would appeal even more is if they made the highlifter based on the new style and also made a 570 highlifter to compete with can am but I would like to see a segment on the can am renegade 570 xmr
Geez they went backwards in time to the old 2010 2012 XP 550 in battery replacement and use Yamaha front A-arm design. They should have kept the XP-550 CHASSIS was always better but to expensive to make they said and the fuji motor didn't meet EPA standards. Just junk now days, look at all the recalls Polaris has. I'll just keep my 2010 XP 550 and 2012 XP 550 Limited Edition
Actually, isn't about Honda sponsoring us as Jason D describes it. It is simply about availability of units to evaluate here in Canada. This season Honda Canada only had last year's Talon X to circulate to media. Not good enough. If you want to see this comparo, please reach out to Honda directly and tell them you want Dirt Trax to evaluate their ATVs!!
Can you do and updated how to keep up maintenance on your polaris atv I have a 2021 polaris sportsman 570 and I'm new to the atving world so I'm hoping you guys can show some maintenance stuff for it
Pretty straightforward! Get a grease gun and pump enough grease through all zerk fittings so you can see grease starting to peak out from each fitting. Change oil and filter at 25 hrs first then every 150 hrs from then on, and check fluids like coolant regularly for good color and volume. Not much else to do on a relatively simple machine like an ATV. Have fun!
@@clayshannon5319 new ones dont have any. 2021 changed to nonservicable bushings. May have one on the prop shaft but i think only rzr/ranger shafts have them.
Because the engine is longitudinally mounted in the center of the frame which pushes the transmission so far back in the chassis, there is no room for a battery there. This is done for on trail balance.
@@just_one_opinion i was hoping an engineer somewhere would design the next sportsman with removable skid plates. Comments like that about equine wasn't funny or genius. Lol almost funny thow

I’d buy one if it wasn’t for the front rack , my buddy’s 850 rack flew off while we were riding and hit him in the face , gave him a black eye and almost made him wreck , after that I changed my mind about buying a Polaris
@@duanechristerson1533 I’m not sure what your saying, but I wish they would make a steal rack like the Honda that still has ability to quickly attach and un attach their accessories without having to worry about it breaking or feeling cheap
Trail version is heavy pig compared to the 'plain' 570. Yes, it looks cool. I have yet to be out on the trail at any speed and say 'if only I had double a-arm front suspension'.
The location of the battery in the 2019 made me think someone's DUMB nephew got involved with the design. Putting it under the hood was such a no brainer.....I HOPE whoever came up with the ridiculous VULNERABLE, HARD TO GET TO LOCATION...... got FIRED.
The engine braking on the old model suits me perfectly. The rear storage isn't the slightest bit waterproof like the seals would lead you to think but hey, I prefer a leaky box than no box at all
New model 570, doesnt have A-Arm guards, has practically no more covered storage, front rack connectors are cheap rubber, but besides that its cool
I completely agree. I love my bike, I have the trail premium. But the kick in the teeth from the simple losses of storage, as well as the lack of attention to detail.
I'd rather have bought a 2018
Can't wait to dig into this one. Love the Sportsman 570. Great idea for a video.
Thank you!!

I am wondering to know differences between 2021 sportsman eps touring and 2020 sportsman eps touring ?
It's been a while since we saw an arctic cat atv. How to they stack up these days? Has Textron had a positive influence on the line-up?
I don't think so. Not a special line up, not much hp. But heck, my Alterra 700 was by far the most comfortabel machine I've had.

So it sounds like you are recommending the 570 trail. Pretty much same price Cdn as the base Sportsman 850 - so which would you choose?

I don't know a single person with a Polaris over 7-8 years old but I have a 1986 Honda that runs perfectly fine and I know 10-15 people with 15+ year old Hondas without any issues. As someone who isn't performance orientated and more focused on a nice ATV that will last me well over 15 years I bought a Honda. Its not everyone's cup of tea because some people think the only thing that matters are 90hp Can-am. but I think if anyone is looking for a reliable ATV, id rather spend 10k on a new Honda that may not ride as well as a Polaris than spend 7 on a Polaris that will cost me 3 grand in maintenance in 5 years to the point where something critical happens to the trans or motor and I need to buy a new ATV completely.
@@nathan22outdoors8 my dad had a 1990 something Polaris that runs like a scolded dog. He isn't very nice to it either, actual pretty much neglects it in every way. Fires up and rides whenever. I agree Hondas are nice machines. I still have my 1985 dirt bike I got new when I was eleven. My son rode it for several yes, until he out grew it. But their prices are outrageous too. My point with the above post is the new vehicles any of the have too many electronics that aren't manufacture to last. I think they do just the opposite, make them cheap so you will have to replace the parts or the machine. I'll way, kids and wife have no interest in atvs/utvs anymore. None of my friends go, kinda boring going by yourself. Sold all of it and just ride my old Harley.
Also, I stopped watching this channel because these guys just suck up to can am, Honda and Polaris etc. They only respond to the people who tell them how much they "love" their videos. It'd be nice if the did some honest reviews and actually tell the manufacturers how bad their machines really are.
@@Lewdog65 nah this channel definitely sucks off polaris the most, every single comparison they have done they made the polaris the winner for "value" because none of them see the reliability of having a bike for longer than 2 years. Also honda has kept their bikes pretty much bullet proof for years, all the buttons on the bars are pretty close to the same as they were in 86, they are also the only company that still has a pullstart along with electric start on their bikes. And you can obviously still get them foot shift, not sure how many other manufacturers offer that either.
So the new sportsman only have understorage rack? And the back storage is gone?
Are the cv covers optional?
What I have read from forums, 2021 has so much problems. Same fault codes pop up all the time. And it's funny how everybody talks about muddin with polaris. It can't handle a little bit water because it leaks from variator case and then you have water/snow/liquid in your clutch.
@@just_one_opinion and what good did that make? It will not repait the problem :D if you are driving over small ditch, get water in your clutch and got stuck in the water. Then you can't drain it :D I guess Polaris has dropped their quality over quantity because of high demand and that's why 1/100 may be working ATV ':P
Great video. I would like to see a follow up on what would the typical extra cost would be if someone would decide to do the upgrade? What can you get for the old? Fsbo or trade? Average price of this new one? What’s the effect on the pocketbook? Unless of course this content is just based on new features vs old and the particular person already determined that the price difference is ok.
Great suggestions!
Do the new Polaris Sportsmans have high and low ranges?
Thank you 200 new subscribers, and I am grateful for that. Thank you very much, my brothers
What do you think of the trail bs touring? Does the extra seat change anything?
The Suzuki KQ engine breaking is awesome too. As good as Honda IMO
I notice you didn't mention the crappy way they have changed the front rack. Cover over the battery. It's flimsy and feels like it will come off. Also bends in when you lay something heavy across it. . They should have left that alone or made it more solid. Just got rid of my new 570 and now have a new Yamaha grizzly. It has sturdy racks and covers on both the front and back. Sorry Polaris. Maybe in a couple of years I will come back.
Good to hear this.
Was debating on the Grizzly 700XTR and the Polaris 570 Ultimate Trail...the Grizz wins hands down across the board.
Polaris just can’t seem to pull it altogether - there is always a thing or two, or ten - that are just wrong or poorly engineered.
Grizzly is solid AF.
Watch Luke's full walk-around overview for more information about this ATV.
You are sponsered !! Only Tell us the positives! Anything about the new very bad intake clutch position?
Yes. It sucks.
The lack of rear storage is almost a deal breaker for me. I rely on it for my travel tools. The tires aren't enough for make me upgrade because I can always put custom and larger tires on my 2020.
Can’t wait to see your overall model reviews with the new 570 against the competitors. Should be a good one.
Looking at this and the 850 version. I’m 230 lbs and will use for work on the ranch and occasional trail ride, sometimes in sandy soil. 570 or 850?
850
@@danmalloy6908 was very cofortable for me at 340 now I am 230 and is just as comfortable. 2019 570
Luke - nice comparison - reading the threads below is all about a lid or storage plus a few others - yes when riding everyone worries about the storage when going down the trail - these people have more time to worry this over a quality ATV from Polaris. Mine is now 12 years old with under 65 hours and will last another 12 years. Cheers and stay safe
My 2021 doesnt have those tires! becuase I have base suspention?
Bought the 570 Premium because they had one and the price was right. Loved it. Rode it twice. Giving it to the wife and just ordered this one. Cant wait. Yes, I'm broke now. But I'm gonna have some fun with the family.
Having fun with your family is far more valuable than money.
Thank God they moved the battery location
Idk if you guys are going to see this but do you notice a big difference in ride quality between the double a arm and the Macpherson strut
Can you tell me how you would compare the 2021 Sportsman 570 to the 2021 Sportsman 850? there is a Ultimate Trail Edition on the 850 series also
Thinking about switching from a 2018 Artic Cat Alterra 700 to this Polaris Sportsman 570. Will I notice a big difference in power from the 700? Is the 570 made for a 250 lb man? Seems like it should be more for middle schoolers than men...
i wanna know are these quads any good i see bad reviews i see good ones i wanna hear a polaris owner thats had his or her sportsman for atleast a year or two i wanna buy something reliable when im out there in the bush or just going for cruise every now and then are the axles good? hows the belt on these things are they scared of water? do they like mud or dislike mud and how much do you pay for damages yearly?
Maintenance and keeping the machine clean do wonders. And don't ride like an idiot...you will enjoy the machine more and have fewer problems.
I'm looking for a new quad but I don't know what to get between a polaris 570 and a kodiak 700
Both are great. Yamaha makes great machines. You might just have to flip a coin. I've had both. Polaris ride can't be beat. But yamahas are indestructible
@@bradtoepfer289 can't lose either way.
How do the Polaris sportsman touring 570 and the cfmoto cforce 800xc compare? Which one rides better?
Only problem is not many dealers have allot to choose from. They are highly limited to on floor models. And it seems to be getting worse on floor models. They aren’t getting units in in large numbers at all.
Have you had any trouble with where the new cvt intake is?
Yes!
only thing that's a plus is the battery placement. I can buy all the others you said and upgrade mine😁
Well I fine the 570 is good for the average rider and someone getting into the sport , can’t really complain, but overall all for the new model really not to many would notice The difference in why waste more money, if you’re more serious rider you you wouldn’t have a 570 right!!!
the 4x4 system on demand has it been improved for 2021 ?
Have 2020 Sportsman 570 Premium LE not in a hurry to trade it works just fine, the tires though are 100% garbage looks like Polaris got a Big Lots deal on them, also the battery up top (2021) gets wet & full of mud so location is subjective, I like the front storage 2021 will not work for me also front rack/plastic cover is flimsy 2021's I have seen on the trail have warped, also really like the rear storage why they removed it is anybody's guess. 2022 should have all the issues addressed, 2021 is a solid pass for us.
did you guys review the X2 570? I am torn as to which machine I should get.
No we didn't actually.
@@dirttraxtv ahh.. ok. I am either going to get the 570 Trail or a 570 touring premium... but I was also looking at the X2.
@@dirttraxtv ordered the 570 touring premium today....
Well, You have sue got me to thinking about buying the 2021 Polaris 570. It would mainly be used around the house, To pull little wagon haul wood in. Little riding around the place. Should I spring for the power steering or better suspension??
Yes. It's amazing!
I love my 2017 Polaris 570 SP but my complaints for it are the engine braking which the fixed. My other compliant is it will randomly shut of.
Does it shut off when you are driving.
You’re right at 5 years old, in my experience that’s when all the annoying little issues rear their ugly heads with Polaris.
Now Polaris needs to improve quality, fit and finish. They still are no where near Honda in quality, fit and finish.
However, after owning my 2012 Sportsman 400HO, I do like all the updates to the new 570. Don't care about less storage, thats what trail boxes are for.
Can you show us a close up of the front diff? Do you need to slide the winch out to service front diff?
Was ticked off when I realized that the winch needed to come out to change the front diff fluid.
@@pennmarks6705 Gotta maximize those service-center dollars for those who have a dealer/mechanic do it, and maximize frustration for the DIY'ers!
To be honest with u guys, I would not spend the money for a new one, I have a 2014 570 model and every newer atv that polaris had, they always took a guard off or cheapened in some way. I'll stick to my 2014 till I see quality, the proper guards, plus the large storage areas back.
Fair enough!
Those rubber bushings are gonna dry out and cause a heck of a knocking sound on every bump.
dont see this as an improvement too...but time will tell....
Marine grease regularly 👌🏽
Im broke so I want to see rewiew of Linhai 500 and please give ur honest opinion.
I think that polaris would appeal even more is if they made the highlifter based on the new style and also made a 570 highlifter to compete with can am but I would like to see a segment on the can am renegade 570 xmr
Geez they went backwards in time to the old 2010 2012 XP 550 in battery replacement and use Yamaha front A-arm design. They should have kept the XP-550 CHASSIS was always better but to expensive to make they said and the fuji motor didn't meet EPA standards. Just junk now days, look at all the recalls Polaris has.
I'll just keep my 2010 XP 550 and 2012 XP 550 Limited Edition
I wouldnt go as far as junk,it does everything I want and more. But things always get trifled with buy the man.
That XP platform was badass.
Front storage lid sucks. Removed rear storage. Other than moving the battery they should have left it alone.
You should do one of these between a 2021 honda rubicon and a 2019 rubicon
I second this. I’d love more info on the Honda’s than what their website provides. Specifically the foot shift models
Actually, isn't about Honda sponsoring us as Jason D describes it. It is simply about availability of units to evaluate here in Canada. This season Honda Canada only had last year's Talon X to circulate to media. Not good enough. If you want to see this comparo, please reach out to Honda directly and tell them you want Dirt Trax to evaluate their ATVs!!
Can you do and updated how to keep up maintenance on your polaris atv I have a 2021 polaris sportsman 570 and I'm new to the atving world so I'm hoping you guys can show some maintenance stuff for it
Pretty straightforward! Get a grease gun and pump enough grease through all zerk fittings so you can see grease starting to peak out from each fitting. Change oil and filter at 25 hrs first then every 150 hrs from then on, and check fluids like coolant regularly for good color and volume. Not much else to do on a relatively simple machine like an ATV. Have fun!
@@FarmerDrew I've looked all over the place for the grease fittings and I can't find any at all
@@clayshannon5319 new ones dont have any. 2021 changed to nonservicable bushings. May have one on the prop shaft but i think only rzr/ranger shafts have them.
Why can’t they just put that battery under the seat like all the other brands
Because the engine is longitudinally mounted in the center of the frame which pushes the transmission so far back in the chassis, there is no room for a battery there. This is done for on trail balance.
Because people like to add winches and light bars....battery up front makes accessorizing a lot easier.
I love were it is on my 2021, just bang boom, its there. Im also not super hardcore, but for my light use, this works great!
How much did the price increase from 2019 to 2021?
Not into those plastic rack platforms. Especially the front one.
My complaint is skid plate welded to frame ,which makes fluid changes difficult keeping oils out of the environment
@@just_one_opinion i was hoping an engineer somewhere would design the next sportsman with removable skid plates. Comments like that about equine wasn't funny or genius. Lol almost funny thow
Have a 2021 570 trail on order.
What color is the new one there
Way it looks you can't go wrong with other one
If polaris listens so well tell them it is time to update the 2 up line its been the same since it started oh and tell them to get the 570 up to 50 hp
I dono, as a first time ATV buyer, it does more than what I want. I suppose if others in the bracket are doing more though, than I agree.
Great video! I have a 17 sportsman 570sp. And was wondering how much different the new one is.

is there anything, that is older version polaris better than new generation 2021?
I’d buy one if it wasn’t for the front rack , my buddy’s 850 rack flew off while we were riding and hit him in the face , gave him a black eye and almost made him wreck , after that I changed my mind about buying a Polaris
Dude, 4 bolts and the rack is off!
@@duanechristerson1533 I’m not sure what your saying, but I wish they would make a steal rack like the Honda that still has ability to quickly attach and un attach their accessories without having to worry about it breaking or feeling cheap
I need a lift kit... Anyone know where to get one for the 570 trail?
Trail version is heavy pig compared to the 'plain' 570.
Yes, it looks cool.
I have yet to be out on the trail at any speed and say 'if only I had double a-arm front suspension'.
does they have turn signals?
No. Not stock.
i hate the rubber latches on the front rack, bring back the half turns with metal engagements
Does it sound mean or kinda quieter
The location of the battery in the 2019 made me think someone's DUMB nephew got involved with the design. Putting it under the hood was such a no brainer.....I HOPE whoever came up with the ridiculous VULNERABLE, HARD TO GET TO LOCATION...... got FIRED.
