Its not for sure but I heard that 70 hp atv and rzr is coming. The rzr will be 10 inches wider for the dunes and such.
I dont know how an atv can handle that much hp, but should be interesting.

 

Yea I know what you mean Charlie. I guess
with that many more ponies these things
are going to be looking to be used suffice
for a Tractor, course nothing beats the pull
of a Tractor though.

I would like to see the pull start on the bigger engines in case of battery failures. </end quote></div>

I'd rather see a kick start. Pull starting those big engines is rough when you have a bad shoulder like I do now. Kick starting one would be easier I'd think and have far fewer moving parts and things to break. I know it's a heck of a lot easier to kick start my old Honda than it is to pull start my Polaris.

 

Good eye CaptainQuint. A kick starter sounds better than a pull start. A compression release would be needed in any manual start on big boy engines I would think too.

 

I think will see a new sportsman with a true 850 V-twin engine made by Weber engines. Duel a arms up front and maybe light Wight... and new body styling...hope for power steering also.

 

Fluid Drive...?
I hope they make me want to sell this Scrambler! The 850 sport rumor really has my attention! This baby will be for sale the next day! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Don't know if its true, but I heard they're considering the re-introduction of the india rubber variable lift camshaft in all models.

 

Hopefully no fluid drive, how do you mod it? Polaris will never put a v-twin in an ATV, they would of done it already.

 

Not sure about that Kuvie. With Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, and Can-Am having V-twins, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Polaris got into that game. After all, the current design twin (parallel, pushrod, 2-valve) cannot compete with a V-twin of the same displacement without forced induction. And I don't see that happening.

 

I am not sure about more power, but I would like a quieter engine and power train in a utility ATV. I have been thinking about wherein earplugs under the helmet.
