Its Gonna be ok. Lets stick to the subject. If there is a more envious, go get'm brand, its going to be polaris. it wont be long until They strike back, because they love being on top. And yes, the video was rigged. With the lights being on and off. Its so obvious.

I do agree Polaris will strike back and that is fantastic for our sport. But, Bombardier is not going to risk a very good reputation by 'fixing' a video like this. Was it tilted toward BRP? Absolutely! Was it fixed? Absolutely not.

Sorry, I have to disagree, it was fixed to some degree and edited.

All it said as a disclaimer was that testing was observed by an independent party, I have the DVD and it says in small lettering at the bottom.

So if you or me were to watch it in person (as a bystander) it would appear to be on the up and up but under closer step motion on the DVD you can see the driver throw the sp800 handlebars to on side to run up the mud pit wall and slow it down to give the Bomb the time advantage and who knows what else was done in the other edited (light on /off) clips.

I don't doubt it would win in a drag race or obstacle course but I don't believe the mud and sled pull results. Its clear their main competitor is the sportsman 800 and they are mainly going after this tough machine!

*Both respectively great machines in there own rights and intended (yet different) use.

BTW, tilted just like the Artic Cat log test vid and other manufactures as well i'm sure.

Also I think that the main strain would be on the clutching and drivetrain under large loads. And in this case if on dirt or gravel the wheels would just spin, most have the power to do at least that!

I have personally towed my 4500 lb. truck slightly uphill grade and reached 18 MPH in low.

In fact I have a video of "said act" and unless he pays me I'm going to post it for you guys. Just kidding.
