Does Polaris make a true 4x4

To answer your fist question is no Polaris does not make a "True 4x4" but once the 4x4 on a Popo is engaged (Rear tire must slip 1/4 to 1 full turn) it is as good as any. With that said I prefer a selectable 4x4 like the one found on a Grizz as I choose when its engaged. A machine with limited slip can only predict what it is doing and not what is about to come!

the polaris is a a true locked 4 wheel drive system....it automatically mechanically engages as soon as the rear wheels try to turn faster then the front wheels. it is seemeless without delay. Since the 4 wheel drive is not active if the rear wheels arnt slipping you dont get the down sides of traditional 4wd of heavy steering when engaged. You can leave it in awd and forget about it if you wish. No difference until the rear wheels slip. The best setup for an atv IMO with the sudden changes in trail conditons. Dont have to worry if you locked your front diff before you go into a hole, it already is..

Rick,
I had nothing but trouble with the machine. When AWD went with less than 500 miles on it, I had enough. Especially after taking meticulous care of it.
The ring gear was 4 thousands over causing it to engage/disengage when it should have stayed engaged. Mechanic said it had to be bad from the factory... Polaris said no extended warranty...tough... I said never Polaris again.
I love the EPS... won't have another quad without it. I can leave it in 4WD, and it steers easy, and smooth... not sloppy.
