Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw 500 Post by: cain73 on August 28, 2005, 12:41:37 AM 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.

Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw 500 Post by: cain73 on August 28, 2005, 07:42:03 PM 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.
