you guys all seen the 06 polaris on the atvconnection page... 06 outlaw bascially a predator w/ IRS... wanna see how it comes out and actually works

 

yes... yes... yes

 

Its not a Pred its an all new chassis with just the same motor.

 

The motor has been bumped up to 50 HP.

· Proven 499cc liquid-cooled, 50 horsepower, single cylinder engine with improved torque

 

Hey there jimmypsp700....


Where did you hear that the engine is any different than a preddys?

 

50 horsepower out of the box 4 stroke trail quad! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

man that'd be fun

 

Polaris has always promoted the Predator with 50hp so the engine is the same. But some of the other feature's will make this Outlaw better. The air box design is much better and alows the lid to be removed. No gap in the plastic. No longer a 4 link steering but back to a 2 link yet suppose to be better then the 4 link. Reverse is on the handel bars instead of under fuel tank. Dummy lights, choke. and key switch are no longer on the handel bar clamb, so no need to find a clamp to hold lights when changing bars. Plus this Pic sure looks awesome. Outlaw

 

thats a sweet picture!

i love the fenders how they're one straight shot point off the end in the front![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

i cant wait to see how this does in the woods

 

I posted this on the other sites and got alot of questions about it. I got to go to Nashville with my brother-in-law/Polaris dealer who sponsors me. Since I didn't have to go to all the dealer meetings, I spent all my time at the proving grounds and rode the new Outlaw for three days. I would go back to the Hotel at the display area and drill the engineers of it with questions. I got a real feel for what it is all about. It handled alot better than the Troy Lee or the regular pred, which is what I race. Off caber jumps where like half throttle on the Pred and after I got used to the Outlaw, I was hitting them wide open in 3rd. If I had tried that on the Pred, it would have tossed me off. The ground clearance is unreal. It really soaked up the bumps in the rear alot better than the Pred. It seems to be strongly built. They said that they had over a thousand miles on the same one in testing with no failure in the new style rear end. I am getting a new quad this year and I am leaning towards the Outlaw. I still have plenty of time to decide though.

 

BigChuck I read that they move the rev switch up to handlebars. Do you know if they did it on the predator too? I would like to do it on mine 05 with no heavy mod.
