End of July can't come soon enough. They'll probably just come out with some stupid mud quad.

 

I just watched the "Mud Machine" part two video from the Polaris Facebook and they had a built 850 that was lifted 4 inches, so it's still trail ridable yet is 2 inches wider and 4 inches wider. Maybe we will see a limited production of these!!!


Hey a guy can dream right :-)

 

Where do you ride, Kuvie? Just curious. If I had the bucks for a dedicated mud machine I know a lot of trails where it would come in handy up here in New England. X2 does well with one size larger than stock Mudlite XTRs but I've come close to getting bogged down a couple times.

 

Honestly, don't have a quad right now. Used to have a scrammy 400. I do have a Victory Jackpot though. I've been holdin' out forever thinkin that Polaris has to come out w/something that compares to the Renie. I'll probably end up with an XP 850.

 

Rene doesn't really have much on an XP 850. They're both crazy fast. XP has better front to back balance and isn't as likely to lighten the front end in corners as much as a Rene. Just my own observations. I'd really like them to put power steering on the X2 850. We're constantly battling rocks up here and it'd be nice.

 

Yeah, I've ridden a Kingquad 750 back to back with a sportsman 450 and the 450 rode alot better, not as peppy, but that's the difference between a 450 and 750. Like I said, I'll probably end up with an XP 850.

 

The XP rides even smoother than the sportsman value chassis! It hard to believe but it's true!

 

you cant compare stone age foreman suspension to newer quads

 

you need to do lots of research son, because i do believe the suspension is different also

 

I have already heard of people who put Renegade plastic on there Outlanders. There the same frame ,motor,tranny, drive train , gas tank,suspension other than front travel(8" vs 8.5") even the seats are the same. The Outty has larger 26" tires and a 1/2 inch less front suspension travel and different headlights, that is it for there differences.

If you took the time to look up all the part numbers between the two, they probably share 98% of every nut and bolt.

Heres a link if you want to see for yourself. 2010 Can-Am Renegade™ 800R EFI ATVs

So I guess Polaris could do the same with a XP , just throw some sporty Outlaw looking style Plastic on the XP and you have a Polaris version of a Renegade.
