popoman I think you are reading a little too much into the EBS thing personally...yes there might be some nitpicking going on..so what,if people weren't critical of the small stuff the manufacturers wouldn't have a reason make anything better.
And as far as your statements about direct drive front ends....I know of at least one that doesn't exhibit any of those negative characteristics...it's front diff is OPEN until one front tire looses traction and then it locks instantly,....it has basically identical characteristics to the Polaris from the riders standpoint,except it has 4 wheel engine braking and a different method of getting the job done.

You can get all the systems in a bind....even the Polaris....just the nature of the beast IMO...especially with the locked rear diffs they all run(except for the Polaris turf mode machines).
Turning radius on my XP was noticably wider in AWD. Maybe we will get that center diff or viscous coupling in the future lol.

I have never heard that before. I know the KEBC is electronically controlled,but I didn't know it had 4 wheel engine braking in 2wd. Interesting,I'll have to do some research and see how they pulled that off. Maybe it engages 4wd everytime it meets the KEBC requirements,speed throttle position ect?

Not much, if any at all, especially when you have power steering
