Can anyone list the 250cc 2 stroke 4x4 atvs that Polaris have made in the last 15 years?

 

There was the Cyclone, that was back in 1980s, the only other ones I can think of are the Trail Blazer (sporty) and Trail Boss (utility). I don't know if the Big Boss 6 wheeler was originally a 250cc 2 stroke, they made a lot of them with different engines.

 

I know their was a Xplorer too, do you know if the Trail Boss or the Xplorer was lighter? and which one is newer?

Thank you for your post, keep posting please

 

If you can latch on to a 2000 model Explorer 250 they were in my opinion the best 250 setup with chain rear drive and cvs on the front. Sold all we could get from Polaris. OPT

 

What is the advantage of having a rear chain drive and front cvs?

 

Simpler,but got you there just as well as any Polaris. A bit rougher on the ride compared to the independent rear suspension on the Sportsmans,etc because of the straight axle,but the old farmers and ranchers we sold em to loved em and didn't do much hill climbing ! Just a good work horse or all around utility atv at the time. OPT

 

Would it be a good atv for riding down trails for fun including rough trails with lots of rocks?

 

If you have plenty of rear end padding But you might be better of with a Trail blazer,Scrambler,etc.mainly because they have more clearance,not much,but a little. BEST to talk to the guys that ride em,not a guy that repaired em! OPT

 

Is the Trail Blazer, Trail Boss, and Xplorer the only 3 atvs that Polaris has made in the last 15 years that is a 250cc, 2 stroke and 4x4 atv?

 

Trail Boss 250 (1985-2002) Explorer 250 (2000-2002) Trail Blazer (1992-2006) Big Boss 4x4 and 4x6 (1989 to 1993) These are the years and models offered with the 250 engine. Trail Boss,Explorer,and Big Boss were offered in 4 wheel drive(6 wheel also on the Big Boss),the Trail Blazer was always 2 wheel drive.Hope this is enough info for you! OPT
