The two on the pavement are hilarious. Do you think the race with the 650 got over thirty miles per hour and the one with the 800, 3/4 of the way through showed the 850 doing a wopping 40 mph. You have to admit the one on the dirt road showed two of the sweetest sounding quads on the market. It reminded me of listening to Giacomo Agostini coming up the straight away on his MV Agusta during the Dutch TT race in Assen. That would be both of them together

 

Here's a link to an interesting vid comparing the big 3 ( T-Cat, 850 XP, and 800R ). They mention the tires...but watching the vid shows pretty much garbage tires ( the ones on the Outty are not the Carlisle ACT's that come stock with the XT package, they are instead, the junk on the base models. Looks to be the same case for the 850xp and T cat. Not sure of the age/break-in period on the T-Cat or XP...but the Can Am was brand new ( as stated in vid) and it also had a big fairing/windsheild on it ( they should have taken it off as it only slows down the machine ). Take note of the drag tests offroad...the Visco lock on the 800R clearly shows it's traction advantage at any speed, and the races aren't even close. Below is a graph showing drag times and distances ( it's really only a 2 way fight) Scroll down the page on the link provided to click the high speed english version. Gotta say, pretty impartial testing and proves that all 3 are wicked.

hey popoman do you want a video of the tack while racing or what?
if you cant tell i was wide open on the 850 trying to keep the wheels on the ground

 

600grizzly in the videos i hit the brakes on every video at the sign so i wouldnt fly by the houses on the right and i got to 50 55 mph in every race on the 850

 

maybe theres something wrong with me buddys 850 or its just a lemon it has about 400 miles on it and it runs smooth,plugs look good,airfilter is clean
i dont know why its so slow

 

lol nope... i really dont care but that video clearly does not depict a traditional race between a can am 800 and an 850 xp.

why so hard to keep the front wheels down on the xp but the lighter can am could hole shot so hard?

Besides im not into top speed racing on a 4x4 utility wheeler. thats what my 650 horsepower procharged ls1 trans am is for

 

After the wheels were on the ground the canam was pulling hard on the 850 i just want too know what could be wrong with the 850? and i too have a 540rwhp all motor ls1 camaro

 

make sure they didnt put 850 stickers on a 550? lol... dont know but that is definitely not normal. The can am is 100 pounds less when it is stock (without skids that should be added) so that definitely helps it... the can am may very well be faster but it should be within a few wheeler lengths at most if not even.... that can am pulled the xp like a ls1 pulls a mustang gt lol... gotta be something wrong.

nice horsepower on the camaro. Im guessing a 402 stroker as 540 rwhp on a 346ci ls1 isnt too street friendly. nice power n/a in any case, a lot of fun

 

Cars???? worthless......

I saw the vids before and something has to be very wrong.

 

Don't take this as me saying the races are typical...just a comment on the front lifting issue..
Because the XP is about 90 or so lbs lighter in the front that it is in the rear with a winch installed,while the Outty is about balnaced front to rear,maybe slightly front heavy..
With traction launching the XP hard without the front lifting can be a challenge..
