Flat out wich one is better ??

 

For rock crawling and shear utility prowess, go with the Polaris. It will give you a comfortable ride, get good fuel mileage, and get you over and through just about anything. For drag racing 500s, go with the Can-Am. It is said to have the most powerful 500 out there. Also, is said to have a comfortable ride. Not as good in the rocks though from what I have read.

 

just wondering. i heard somwone tell me this past summer that you couldnt put bigger tires on these bikes w/out causing front end problems w/ the 4x4. was wondering if any one really new the truth.

 

oops, ment to ask if the bombies not the polaris(already know you can on ours).

 

In one of my magazines, mechanics were interviewed regarding common problems on the ATVs they worked on. The Can-Ams were said to have problems with the "Visco-Lock" system when larger tires were put on, as not enough revolutions would be produced a low speeds to keep the front wheels engaged and spinning.

Just wait until Polaris puts a KTM V-Twin in the Sportsman! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

yea sheepdog that is what i heard. i guess it must be true.

 

You are on the Polaris forum......Did you ask this question on the Can-am BRP one also....I bet I know what they will tell you there...........Buy Polaris....Just kidding......

 

exept KTM dosnt make V-twins...

 

I have 2 friends with 800 Bombs and 2 with 400 bombs 2 with stock tires and 2 with 27" tires and all of them have had problems with the Visco lock, If you get a fron tire in the air it seems to spin forever and sometimes slam into 4x4 and it doesn't sound good

 

I can't believe you guys are actually discussing this. It's common knowledge that Polaris' have big reliability problems, and that the Can-Am Outlanders are the best bikes out there. And, with the new EFI models, you just can't go wrong. Read the reviews!
