The polaris is definately better in the mud than all others and any other place. 50cc more than the eiger, all around hydraulic discs, steal braeded brake lines, true 4x4, most ground clearance.

 

the sportsman is way over weight

 

the only people I've ever heard say that Polaris machines AREN'T pieces of crap are people that own a Polaris. Most other experienced riders and motorcycle/atv techs I've talked to say that buying a Polaris isn't a good idea. I really wish there were some truly empirical data so we could compare ATV quality. I'd guess that Yamaha/Suzuki/Honda would be in a tight race for 1st, with Arctic Cat and Polaris in a tight race for last. They should have stuck with making snowmachines. IN MY MOST HUMBLE OPINION. Don't get all bent out of shape, I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard any of this.
