The weights ScramblerXLE listed above are wrong though. The Outlaw line up is impressive, all with reverse

450mxr - 365 lbs
525s - 375 lbs

These come stock with Fox suspension, hydraulic clutch, reverse and Maxxis tires stock.

crap I went and baught the trailblazer 250 and now they got the 330 and probably updated.

Your 250 will spank the 330, plus it's probably around 60 pounds lighter than the 330.

Will someone at the show ask Polaris when they're coming out w/ a Renegade beater? There probably won't be a good answer, but tell them people are hoping for one. Scrambler 500 w/ bold new colors and graphics, that's all we've seen for the last 7 years. I'm so disappointed. There's always 09'.

I dont know

2006 2 stroke 244cc 461 pounds

2008 4 stroke 329cc 488 pounds

its still almost 100cc's difference and a little more than 20 pounds difference dry weight

you should go to how stuff works and check out 2 vs 4 stroke motors so you can see
why a 244cc 2 stroke is faster then a 329cc 4 stroke.
i think we figured it up on here one time and a 250 2 stroke was equal to a 430
4 stroke on average when you figured in fuel efficency

Is anyone else disappointed in the new lineup? They made minor changes to their existing line. OOOHH look out, new colors on the Scrammy, 6 more horse on the 800. I was hoping for something new and exciting. Maybe shave some weight, or a new machine or a v twin. It is just a rehashed, tuned up 07 line. It seems other companys are coming out with new ideas (i.e. a 1000 or power steering) and we are getting the same old. Maybe it's just me. Let me know.

There are some legal issues to sort through for a 1000cc atv--- the "law" says that an ATV is less than 800cc... so I don't mind if they wait on another company to work through the legal process on that. Weight... weight is what makes the polaris suspension work so well. ever ridden a bomber? the rear trailing arms are tied together by a 1" diameter solid steel anti-roll bar... so it pretty much makes the rear a swing axle. I dunno a/b power steering... good question. Scrammy is outlived...

I like the little improvements they have made over the past few years, but i'd agree that its time for something fresh... these little improvements are what make the polaris so tough & reliable now.
