So, I'm looking to try and see what the fastest 4 stroke ATV's from the factory are. Top speed would be the primary definition, but acceleration would still be important.

I know the Yamaha Raptor 700 and the YZF 450 would probably rank high.

Does anyone know what the top 10 fastest from the factory ATV's are?

 

A 800 or 1000 Outlander 4x4 Utility, can beat any sport ATV in a acceleration and top speed made.
HP is just a amazing thing and the Outlander and Renagade have the most of it. The XP850/Scarmbler 850 is nexts after that.

The Raptor 700 has the same 45hp single cylinder motor as the 700 Grizzly far from 70hp to 80hp twin cylinder Outlander/Renagade 800 and 1000 and XP850/Scrambler 4x4s.

In sport ATVs my vote is the 525 Outlaw or KTM for the same reason it just has more hp then the rest.

 

The difference with the Raptor is that it has a manual clutch and good gearing. Good top speeds too.

I don't think Polaris or KTM are building their 525 quads anymore. I think they both stopped producing them but there are some on the used market. They were right up there with the Raptor 700.

As said, the Renegade and Outlander 800 and 1000 machines are ridiculously fast. Right up there are the Polaris Scrambler 850 and the Sportsman 850. Both are very quick.

 

So I am guessing the list would go something like this;?

1. Can Am Outlander 1000
2. Can Am Outlander 800
3. Polaris 850 XP Scrambler or Sportsman
4. Yamaha YZF 450
5. Yamaha Raptor 700

 

Ktm still has the 525 on their website.

I stand corrected.

 

So, where does the KTM 525 XC fall on the list? I tried looking up drag races of it on YouTube but found nothing definitive other than it looked fast.

 

The KTM 450 will give any 450 a run for the money, there 525 is in a league of its own.

 

When I asked where it fits into the list, this is the list I was referring to;

1. Can Am Outlander 1000
2. Can Am Outlander 800
3. Polaris 850 XP Scrambler or Sportsman
4. Yamaha YZF 450
5. Yamaha Raptor 700


So you are saying it is faster than the Yamaha YZF 450?

 

Between the the 700/450 and 850.
