Hey guys i just purchased a 13 850xp Ho non eps 3-4 weeks ago. I have since put around 330miles on it and have a pretty good feel for it. So far i love it but i wish i would of spent the extra $1k to get the eps haha. My arms feel like i was just lifting weights after every ride. Its currently in the shop getting warranty work already haha. I was going down a big hill and the downhill braking system must of got super hot and when i went to give it gas it felt like a downshift and a puff of smoke came out of the back. Apparently the one way clutch bearing for the ebs went. Other than that it has been great. The power is pretty nice if i do say so myself. My buddy bought a 550xp eps and also a 500 ho polaris since they were so cheap at the time $4700 and we ride a lot together. I did get to ride a new can am 1000 and i must say i liked it a lot but the sportsman rode smoother imo.


Heres a picture of it and my beater truck i bought for $2500 just to haul the quad haha. :


First unload of quad and ride:


Heres a picture of us up on a hill:


And here is a picture of me Bigmack


Me and my buddy are always looking for new places to ride within a decent driving distance so if anyone has anything going on within a 4 hour drive from pittsburgh,pa let me know and we might come out! I plan to make a trip to Hatfield Mccoy trails before the summer is out as well.

 

Great pictures

Welcome

 

Welcome to the forum. I agree with you on the ride of the Sportsman. Best in my book. Do like the power of the Can-Ams though.
