Uh-oh...I am in the market for a new machine, to replace my totaled renegade 500...I have had two 500 Scramblers and loved em...looks very interesting!

 

Looks good in the video, Fox suspension and race tuned exhaust very nice. Even has racks, 10.25" suspension travel . No weight posted yet.
Looks very performance oriented and if they dropped the weight down it should fly with the 850 HO.

 

My first impressions was wtf it's ugly. But moving in the video it does look better.
Don't think it will win any beauty contest for sure.

 

Front brush guard helped a lot. Needs some chrome wheels that are optional also.

 

 

Polaris Scrambler® 850 H.O. - YouTube

Lol it passed the renegade must had been a 800 bc don't think it will hang with the 1000

 

Thats one wild looking machine!!

 

Looks like one of the little transformers the girl locks up in box lol

 

Bring it! I can't wait to spank one!

 

I knew you'de say that, LMAO.
I think it's great the manufacturers keep shooting higher every couple of years. Makes it interesting. We don't even have a Polaris dealer here so it will be awhile before we see one on the trail.

 

i cant wait to tow one

 

Oh no what will I Do.. I mean I wont have the fastest anymore


Oh thats right, Im yet to see a 850 that will hang with a Outty.

 

Renegade killer my arse!!!!! Looks big and heavy, but nice to finally see someone competing with the renegade.

 

But it only weighs 735 pounds compared to the 687 of the gade 1000.

Atleast popo is still king of the Heavyweight division

 

I got the feeling their is going to be an abundant amount of Can Ams on the used ATV market very shortly over this one. All of us that have owned both Can Ams and Polaris know why. Enough said.

 

I don't believe Can Ams claimed weights are that accurate. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Renegade dry weight was well over 700 lbs. I think weight difference is a wash. Renegade still has the extra 5 hp but it all depends how the power is put to the ground through the transmission and clutch.
I have the 850 non HO @72 hp and there is not that much difference in speed with my 1000, I don't care what you guys say. I've raced them both and own both. The non HO Polaris actually has slight edge in top end but still about a quad length back in 300'.

Here are some differences between the sportsman 850XP and scrambler 850Ho. 38 lbs lighter, 1" less ground clearance, seat height 2" lower.

Renegade 1000 wet weight with 2 bars on fuel tank. 801 lbs.

 

not saying that is not true at all........but im sure can-am is not the only manufacturer to stretch the weight a little

 

Polaris coming after the 'gade.....

:umno:

Looks like a XP that went between a pair of trees about 2' too narrow at speed.....then they fixed the suspension & called it close enough. Only 60lbs lighter than a sportsman too......




Seems like popo might at least keep up with the gades' dust now, and said dust should hide some of the fugly........:thumbsmilie:

 

Haven't met a PoPo I couldn't chew up and spit out yet! BRING IT ON POPO, as long as my frame holds together! lol

 

looks like a polaris hawkeye, sportsman mutation, should have gave it its own identity, it is fulgy thats for sure

 

Saw these pics on HL.




Looks decent with big meats on it.

 

I like it more and more. It has that wicked or evil look.

 

Yes it does. But the red bumper and trim ruins the look. Needs flat black powder coat. I am going to go look at one this evening at my dealer, as I just got the insurance check for my totaled Renegade 500. $6110.92 I am still blown away how easily my Renegades frame bent. Anyway, I think with the PS, my wife would love it. And its a lot more affordable than an 800Xxc. I had two 500 scramblers in the past. they were well built machines.

 

Ugly

 

I'm liking the look more already. Different for sure and those Gen2 Laws look SWEET on it!

 

I merged a couple of threads together.

 

Its the Darth Vader of quads.

 

why didnt the call a 850 sportsman R it sure as hell isnt a scrambler,they led they way for years on big machines now can am is starting to hurt there sales,i would guess 1000r or 1000rr from from can am will be coming its just crazy to think how fast we can go on something that heavy
