I am going to buy a new 4 wheeler probably by this weekend and was leaning towards an H1 650. I was just curious what people thought about these 2 ATV's and which you feel is a better ATV. Anything will help, thanks.

 

go with the h1 polaris suck if you got the polaris you would probably end up sittin on the trail with a broken belt

 

Good post. I like you"re gramer, you mustus be reely smert. LOL!

 

both machines are good. the biggest thing is that a person has to try each machine out and go with what you like best. As far as breaking a belt on a polaris , i don't think that happens very much. i had a sportsman for 8 yrs and never broke it, i'm sure they have to be replaced at some point, but thats not a weak point on a polaris. just go with what u like best after riding and looking at them

Last time I checked AC H1 was belt drive also!!!!

Just remeber a belt is cheap and the CVT clutches are easy to modify for better performance and bigger tires!!!! Can't change much on a beltless auto!

Polaris, AC and Can Am all use cvt belt transmissions on there snowmobiles. By the way Polaris also makes great snowmobiles, atvs and Victory moytorcycles.

I can't think of one thing the AC can do better than the Polaris!

 

Here we go again the myth of broken belts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]. Do they break yes but usualy on the machines that people don't know when to use low gear. I'v had mine four years the belt still looks brand new and has never been changed. Ride each machine and you will know wich one you want!

Rick not sure if you ment better between these two machines or AC in general, I dont think it matters but the AC does win in one catagory w/ the Thundercat and it is the new king of HP!

 

Both are decent machines. I chose the Poo over the AC due to the ride and shift pattern as I work mine alot and did not like the serpintine shift pattern. Both have good ground clearance, good power. Both are heavier which some don't like but I prefer the weight as it smooth the ride and gives better traction.

** AMEN to the belt issue it has really overdone.

 

AC. More ground clearance, a 2" reciever, TRUE 4x4 differential locker, speedrack system. I don't have anything against Polaris, I just think AC has a better package.

AC. More ground clearance, and steeper cv angle
12" vs Polaris 11"

a 2" reciever,
1 1/4" Polaris more than adequate for 1500 lb towing capacity

TRUE 4x4 differential locker,
Polaris true AWD with 4wd via 1 switch, no lever to flip

speedrack system.
Polaris lock n ride!

Polaris uses steel skids not plastic.
high mounted winch to help keep out of mud
Polaris PXT tires best on stock atv
lots of storage
soft ride
better handling
etc.....

Nothing against AC but Polaris is better overall.

 

Ok. They have more problems than 3 atv brands put together. That AWD is crap. And polaris puts a 1 1/4 inch reciever on the machine because it cant handle anything that needs a 2" reciever. Also, I don't recall steel skids being better than ACs skids, which come Standard on ALL AC quads, as they bend when hit, and dont bend back. Who the hell keeps the stock tires on a quad for more than a year? Lots of storage on the cheap plastic racks that shatter on impact. Cool.
