I don't think they will build a spar frame like the Bomb. I think Bomb. proved that that technology will not hold up long term. I think the next jump will come in the suspension so how. No more springs and some how go air ride. Lots of weight savings to be had there.

Thats why they still use it?

 

If someone hasn't told you there are haveing big problems with cracked and broken frams. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

I agree I don't think you will see an atv over 800cc due to many state restrictions in size and weight.

What was probably saw was a prototype unit..... I would say polaris is always testing new designs and it might just be a concept unit to look at other transmission options and ways to make the atv's lighter.

 

maybe the lighter frame with dual a-arm suspension is for the scramm ..................please oh please......................reality sets in ......................disappointed again

 

Because it's so god-aweful ugly. The front end looks like a big nasty giant insect face.

I'm a Polaris guy.....but jeeez.....fire the stylist that came up with the front nose style on the 2005/2006 Sportsman, Sawtooth and Hawkeye.....yuk.

 

I like the new look and think it looks rugged yet modern. I also like the look of the current sportsman too though. THe scrammy needs updated badly though or just dropped. It is a good machine but outdated.

 

you never know, maybe polaris will drop their snowmobile technology into quads again and we'll be having a Polaris 750 H.O. the H.O. would ultimately be a turbo-charged motor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

they already have that...the predator[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

now they just need a pred w/4 wheel drive and keep the weight under 400lb's [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Nobody will make a quad for the public that is over 800cc . Its not concidered a atv after that, it is a OHV, and i believe you would also need a motorcycle licence to operate one. Every year someone says that the brand they like is coming out with some outrageous quad, and it never happens, and probably never will, unless the law changes and alows us to operate them without a special permit or license
