It's as fast as the NON-H.O. Polaris 500. Top speed is roughly 50-55 MPH for the Ruby.

I concur with hiofcer. The top speed on my Ruby is 50-55 on hardpack dirt. This is of course, with the stock wheels and tires. If you changed that up, the actual speed would change.

I easily hit 55mph and about 57 down hill.

the Ruby and The sportsman 500 may be around the same speeds, both about 55. But any other 500, the Ruby ain't got a chance! The new H.O., Magnum, and Scrambler are all 500's and the Rubicon doesn't have a prayer against any of those.

u must have never ridden a magnum. Those things will get up and go. Maybe you should try one of those Magnum's one day. You might just like it.
