The magazines won't like it cause it doesn'tsay Ride Red but it looks pretty decent. What about the performance compared to the others?

Nice Pics!

With the controls on the handle bars, the brake lines, and shocks I have no doubt thats a polaris. Maybe they can make a 250 version as well? The 400/500 Scramblers & 250 Trailblazer all use the same frame.

I'm glad that you like the pics...There is no reverse on this machine.. If you look at the left side handlebar pic you will notice that they replace the reverse override button with a start button..

Keep on Riding!!

If there was any doubt about whether or not this was a Polaris quad it is now gone. See all those Polaris parts on it? Coolant tank, handlebar assembly, grips, it all looks Polaris to me.

Nice pics by the way.

Think they might just surprise everyone and put reverse in right before production? It would be nice.

What is it about this quad that is going to send the others back to the drawing board? This is their first attempt at a true high performance quad, the others have been involved in high performance since the late eighties. We can only hope that it does well, and performs better than it looks.
