Stock XP850 with 28" Zilla's vs 800 Outlander with 29.5 Outlaws and snorkeled in Mud run race.

YouTube - 2009 Polaris Sportsman 850 XP vs. 2009 Outlander 800R

 

As much as I like my 850 I dont think that was a fair race. I think the 800 hit a big hole in the pit.

 

They are both great, powerful, fast, machines. In a straight line race the 800 Outy will beat the 850xp from what I've seen. I think in that particular race the Outy guy hit a bad hole and that was all she wrote. I do give the nod to Polaris' front end engagement. I've noticed it takes more spin to get the Can Am Visco Lok to engage and it is gradual. Polaris' system is essentially instantaneous.

 

Also looked like the guy didn't know what to do once he got stuck.

 

He is for sure hung-up in the middle ....rocking the quad like that.........Where he is standing on the right side of the Quad don't look too deep?

I would have put it in reverse for a shot and go to the right after (if reverse worked)............Caper............

 

After looking at it again ,I doubt any ATV was winning off the left lane. drain the water and something nasty is bellow that lane. LOL

 

he was styck on something for sure as me hit it and came to a complete stop and just rocked lol. the bike sounds mean though.
