I own a polaris 700 and find the ebs to be inferior to other machines on the market,why dose it affect the rear wheels only.Anyone else think polaris ebs is dangerous.

 

Dangerous No. Inferior well thats a matter of opinion where we ride it's so steep going down if it appiled too the front also the quad would flip over forwards. Of course you could give it some throttle to pervent this from occuring. Just like how with the proper use of throttle and the regular brakes you can keep the back end of the polaris from comeing around during EBS. Once you get used to it maybe you'll find it's not so bad. If enough people bitch polaris will change then eveyone will complain about no longer haveing rear only EBS. Just like how people bitched about haveing to service them and now we complain because you can't grease it if you want to they took all the zerks off. I like to be able to grease somthing after being in the water oh well guess it'll just have to wear out.

Markie, I remember you complained of this a while back. I'll be honest, the Polaris EBS doesn't compare with the KEBS system on my Prairie. Yeah, the Polaris will skid sideways when descending a steep hill. But I think having their EBS system is better than nothing, and I simply adjust my riding style to compensate. As to why the Polaris system only affects the rear wheels, you got me. But if it's any consolation, my Sportsman will go to impossible places with less fuss than my Priaire (higher ground clearance, instant AWD, IRS).
