Polaris Outlaw 500

[Yamaha72]

The new Polaris Outlaw 500 is preety sweet. IRS (independent rear suspension) first on a sprot quad. Same engine as predator, only difference is the 5th gear is set a little lower. It has reverse and is a full race quad!!!! thats preety cool....

I could see that as sort of  a hybrid machine for those that like trails. comfortable and fast, but not true sport or utility quad. good for comfort in rooted trails, but not a true performer. Old man's sport quad maybe.

cain73 trade in that sled DS and buy one. Old man's sport quad thats you.  Better if it was a 2 stroke

In think it will do well racing XC. We will find out because Polaris sponsored rider Matt Smiley will be racing it in the GNCC.

i like the idea! IM JUST CURIOUS HOW IT SLIDES IN THE CORNERS?

The cornering is why I'm guessing it will be better at trails. The independent suspension should soak up the roots and bumps well, but I wonder how it will react racing. I would be afraid it wouldn't break lose predictably and would want to hold the ground causing it to be tippy. However the 500 Pred engine should power it through the trails nicely.

The first ride report I read was you can slide it, but it is a little harder. Over all I have only heard good reviews.
