I have been seriously interested in buying a Outlander 800. Most articles I have read rave about it. However, the latest edition of Dirt Wheels thinks its great it's if you want to go fast, and it is fun to ride. However they say it's not very stable and the front comes up when climbing. Overall they liked the Polaris 800 better. What do those who of you who own one think?

 

Don't take their word for it, Polaris most likely paid them off or something.

 

I would suggest you ride both if at all possible. I have ridden both and firmly believe the Outlander to be the better machine, but everyone prefers different traits in their machine.

 

Honestly... I dont trust much of what DW says anymore... Flip through their mag and see how many polaris and yammy adds you see...now do the same and count the bomb adds... I am not saying that is all they care about, but that is a huge part of their money, and im sure it has enough oomph to be a tie breaker (even though I personally would never even consider any of polaris' quads besides the predator, which is the only halfway decent quad they make IMO)

 

Don't forget they didnt even have the right Dry Weight numbers for the Outty, its a 100lbs less

And DW Loved the Outty last mouth......now they don't.

Look what they did with the old Rapter and the Predator, one month the Rapter would win and the next month the Predator would win!!
