I have the 1000s. After riding Honda's and Kawasaki's for years I can say it's the fastest, most plush, and stable atv I've ever had. No reliability issues as of yet. My aging spine and hip remind me every time I ride how much I love it!
Those cam preload adjusters on the front shocks were set to full soft in defence of the soft/bottoming suspension comment Steve. Not sure where the rear were set at. Awesome, powerful machine for sure. Also not sure why TH-cam but numbers after my username…..
I’m 55 from Pennsylvania, .. been riding ATVs since I was a kid. I had a sportsman 570 and I traded it in for a 2024 sportsman 1000 hunt edition… what an absolute beast!.. I love this thing. It is a monster. ❤❤😊😊 . Great video. and you are right though, if you’re not paying attention, this thing will bite you, quickly.
@@disintegratingeden idk where your from but im from Louisiana. The sportsman 1000S fits through far more then you think it does. I go everywhere with Hondas to any other brand you can name. We all ride together and we don't stick to just trails that are cut out. We make our own. So trust me when I say itll go anywhere any other quad will go. I'm proof of it.
@@louisjohnsonjr.4934…. I just bought a 2024 sportsman 1000 Hunt edition. The only reason I didn’t buy a sportsman 1000 S is because it won’t fit in the bed of my truck, it’s too wide. So far the sportsman 1000 has been an absolute monster! I love it!! ❤😊
I wouldn't get to worked up over the hitch size. Chances are the hitch from your truck may have the wrong drop for use on the quad. But I get your point.
How many starter and fuel pump did you used in that review. My 2018 850 is now on it's 4th starter and 3 fuel pump. nice machine just don't go to far with it unless you are ready to walk back home. verry fun when the starter let go at -40 in 4 feet of snow with tracks in the midel of the wood.
Great video ❤❤❤I had a chance a week ago to ride on a xp1000 with a ride command on it.I love the response and the front and rear view. It was a 2023 model. The owner was picking it up from the dealership.
Great video TK! I always wonder what the expected reliable life of these things is, in terms of either mileage on the odometer or hours of use. A modern car should get you to about 200k kms/ 120k miles without much in the way of major repairs. What's the equivalent on ATVs? Do count the duty cycle in distance like for cars, or operating hours, like heavy machinery? This, like a lot of "performance" vehicles looks great.. when it's new. You don't see many high mileage performance cars though. Is this ATV in it for the long run, or is it just a rich man's disposable toy? Thanks for the interesting and informative video!
To answer your question, high mileage on these modern ATVs is considered in my opinion, around 15,000kms. I’ve seen many can-am outlanders with 30,000+ kms so long as you keep up with service intervals. I personally grease after every ride, clean/inspect clutches twice a year, change oils in engine, gearbox and diffs every 50 hours. I have about 4700kms, on my second set of tires and zero issues on my can-am outlander and I’m also not easy on it but I don’t abuse it, it’s just a lot of fun and you can get carried away by its speed/power. It is my baby after all and I plan on keeping it forever.
I own two. Great machines. They have been out for a couple of years and unfortunately there’s not a lot of aftermarket stuff to put on them. Surprisingly. The bumpers are garbage and very thin not even securely attached to the frame.
Just got a 1000xp. Love the quad, but shortly after i got it, the screen started flickering bad. It was dried grease in the ignition switch. Then the plastic dipstick was broken off, and the piece is still in there. Was told at the dealership that its common, and just leave it.
We get 850's and 1000's in all the time for maintenance and repairs, they're fun to ride but not buy. So many add the optional 18 or 30 pack to the ride and all that power leaves a mark. For the same money I've got a used GMC 2500 4wd and a pair of used Brute Forces, case closed.
@@ThomasJeffersonIIII only work at a shop 6 days per week but I'm sure your observations are a at much greater level then mine. We only have a minimum of 40 machines at our location and I ride just about everything that comes in the door, and at home I have a dozen 3 and 4 wheelers to ride on my trails but I'm sure your vast experience makes my level of expertise seem a distant runner up.
Loved this review! And your honesty about its it’s too much. I’ve watched a few different resin this machine and they all talked about how awesome it is but you gave the honest warning on if it could be too much. Thanks!
Buddy owned a 1000 popo. He said it was the biggest pos he has ever seen or had! If you want ride buy yamaha or honda. If you want to walk and pay for repairs buy a can am or polaris!
My 2019 seemed to always have something weird come lose, belt problems, front diff bolts backed out. My 850 was a Cadillac like my 94 400. But it also had weird stuff brake on it. Went back to Kawasaki and Yamaha.
@@andrewsbbq interesting, lots of online review sites list Polaris as being somewhat competitive in most respects. Wonder if there are any reliable reliability ranking databases to actually see where the truth lies.
Just picked up a 2023 sportsman xp 1000 with ride command and we LOVE it....

Holy cow I thought that top speed run was in kmh. 80mph is just scary!
That's easily attainable speed for just about any ATV with an 850 or larger engine. My stock Can-Am outlander 850 will go over 128 KPH or 80 mph

1000S will be my second Quad
Suspension would have more travel if the dude riding it lost some weight.
Bout lost it at 12:47
Looked like it took longer to hit 80mph than it does on my stock outlander 850. So the 1000 outlander would chew this pos up
Cool.
it wont myb rute can keep up
Definitely not the best. All-around ATV. Nothing Polaris is going to be the best when it comes to an ATV
Opinions differ.
Best all round ATV, there's no doubt about it, is a Grizzly 700.
I own one and it is by far the best I have ever owned!

Skip the scrambler and just buy the sportsman 1000S. You'll thank me later. Best machine built. And once you own one you'll see exactly what I mean.
...until you want to go on a 50" trail

Maybe bro should clean it before he showed us the whole thing?
👏👏Good vid ....Have a good day everybody ✌️
FYI the plug behind the rubber Polaris cap is a plug for a battery tender not accessories.
I have been a life long Suzuki man but I am giving the xp 1000 ride command serious consideration.
I have the 2023 XP1000 Sportsman with Ride Command. It's a beast and the ride command is great to have.
@@NorthGaLife I actually went with the xp 1000 hunt edition.
Good video, thanks for the information, I have the same one, what advice do you have to put spacers on the wheels? or not?, if yes, what dimensions?
Another great video! Have you reviewed the Sportsman XP-1000 "S" model yet? That will give you that additional travel that you want ;)

81 miles per hour with Canuk Shrek onboard. Impressive.
I own a 2023 Honda rubicon 520 and i love it because i look for something thats built for work and the polaris is just way too fast for my liking
I got this quad ride command edition I don’t like that it only comes in one colour and performance mode is cool I had it up 131 km
I have the Sportsman XP1000S and I get that bigger hitch receiver, more suspension travel as well as wider and longer stance

As they say: never take a Polaris further than you’re willing to walk
Are Polaris unreliable?
@@ALMX5DP /sarcasm?
@@andrewsbbq nope, /curious.
@@ALMX5DP oh yes, not known for longevity like the Japanese quads or even CanAm. Fast as fuq though

Nice video keep up the good work fella
There not a trail machine FSR or logging roads or dunes use you wont get any where quicker than with a 500 or 570 size machine
