Except for handling.....

IMO the Scrambler handles like crap....Its wide, heavy and that front suspension is garbage.

The Wolverine might not handle great either but I think its definitely better than the Scrambler. A-Arms will always beat McPherson struts for ATVs.....

Speed is another story as the Wolverine is pretty slow......

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

A 500 Scrambler will out do the Wolvy in EVERY way.Including handling you just need to tweek the suspension a little for your style of riding.You wont be able to go through really deep mud but a foot or so deep is no problem.I have rode my Scrambler for 6 yrs and only been hung up three time where I had to be pulled out.

I know you asked between the Scrambler and Wolvy, but the Renegade 500 is sooo much better the other 2 are not even in the same league.

Agree with RickCJ7. No comparison. Better ride, more power, more clearance. The only thing the other two might be better at is powersliding because of their straight axles.

The CanAm is as easy to use as the other two other than having Low gear which, I believe, the others don't. I haven't seen to many complaints about Renegades on the forums. I love the Polaris 500. It is a great engine that is very reliable.

My Honda 450 Foreman ,350 Big bear and 250 Moto 4 all had double A-Arms and rode and handle like crap compared to my single A-Arm McPherson struted 500.
