Default Suspension in quads

Just trying to get opinions on different suspensions. I was comparing, and found polaris to be the most comfortable, but AC ranked best on rough terrain due to true front and rear independent suspension, in terms of staying in control

I just heard Outlander might rank with Polaris for plushness, or even better. True?

I have an Outlander 400 & 800 and the ride is just as plush as Polaris and a whole lot smoother than
my brothers AC 500.

I agree that AC isnt the softest, but it keeps all four wheels on the ground better than any other quad, and has the best ground clearance

I agree the AC's have the most articulation in the rear suspension due to a lack of a sway bar, the trade off is more body roll in high speed cornering and off camber situations. The suspention articulation in the Sportsmans can be maximized with the use of a sway bar quick-disconnect set-up.

v2 I would take your AC anyday over my old Sportsman, but I can't wait the test ride the Bomb 650 when it comes out.

I know what you mean about high speed cornering, but i turned my adjustable shocks to the tightes setting for flying around trails, and it helped alot, not the best, but definately better
