its like anything esle wayout, it'll work great until you loose traction on the slippy snow and then you'll be free sliding for sure down a hill until you hit the gas to bring it out of it.

Be carefull on ice!! It makes turning really difficult!! Ever drive a Seadoo?? You need to stay on the throttle to steer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Scrammy when you let off the throttle with E.B.S. or now ADC .(ON ICE)(LAKE)...does the quad stop quick enough to direct you forward over the handlebars ....Like one post I read last year??.......He was ice fishing and posted a warning about the E.B.S. on the Polaris Forum..........Do you remember reading this post?...........................Caper........

No not at all. On ice you just slide for days [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If it stopped that quick I would be over the bars all the time riding on dirt. Ice and snow wouldn't be a problem.

He also said in the post that when he let off while going at higher speeds across the lake the EBS kicks in and slids the quad out of control??........Maybe this guy wasn't a Polaris rider after all???.......Caper....................

If you just have EBS and not ADC the rear wheels will lock up and you could slide out of control. Think of driving along at 30mph in your truck and dropping it into 1st gear on snow. Your tail will slide everywhere. Try it again in 4wd and all the wheels will slide. Thats what ADC is like

it doesnt matter what you have, once the tires lock up you loose control. just stay on the throttle a little to prevent the engine breaking from going on completely.

So tell me something here..........once the tires lock up you loose control....YES.......
But when going across the lake doing ,lets say 45 miles /hour and let off on the throttle.....................................What happens?...........Will the E.B.S. or ADC kick in enough to cause the unexpected rider to loose control of the quad??........They will not expect the quad to gear down and loose speed that fast which can lead to loss of handling and control................Is this correct....................................Does anybody do 40-50 miles on the ice and let off the throttle all together?..........I know Scrammy does?.......But this question is for the rider not knowing what will happen!........Caper.........
