This 430 pound IRS predator?
Polaris wants to be different.
I think this is going to be a very quirky handling quad.
Off camber jumps?
Sliding turns?
Hard breaking into a turn?
Not for me, but here it is
clicky

Nope, the windbag didn't call this one. It has been proven that I do not see all that is on the horizon.

Its side profile is unappealling and the frame looks like it was poorly designed. Someone at polaris is going to get fired.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

That guy won't get fired until his 18,000 rpm grenade takes a few legs out.

I think they would of been better off making that an automatic as replacement for the scrambler.

I am sure it rides nice and smooth, espeically with those fox shocks in the back , the frame just turns me off with its egronomics.

i understand why they put the muffler through the middle, but i think thats kind of stupid, i donno, it just seems like there isnt going to be any performance mufflers and headers out for this thing for a long while

I don't know, the guy in the vid doesn't seem to be thrown around much, looks smooth to me. Sport atv with irs, no rear casing out on rough trails, gotta be better on the back for us old guys that gave the sport segmant up. On the track...probably not, but in the trail, probably a smooth ride, with plenty of juice.
