Honest 1 year review of my 2019 polaris highlifter 850 mud bike. just giving my opinion of the bike and how its been for me. enjoy. thanks for watching Twisted Mudders!! SUBSCRIBE!
I think you should keep it. I have a 2021 850 Sportsman Highlifter and I call it my work horse. I’ve pulled a couple SxS, and many of other 4 wheelers out when their stuck. Like you said all in all it’s a great mud machine for your buck even with the cons. So far on mine I’ve added 2” bracket lift, sound bar, LED headlights and winch. I also ride in the Houston/Texas area. Good vid! New subscriber here 👍🏾
I bought a 2021 850 and POLARIS did address the belt box leaking. But still retained the “foam” barrier in the snorkel duck by the front left front tire. Other than that she’s a turd floater on mud and water!!! I’m extremely impressed!!!!
@@RagingBad It blows smoke and finds out where if any leaks are. Straight from the dealer a high Lifter is good enough to run through a muddy field slighlty better than a regular sportsman. To make it a submarine, its' got to be sealed up real tight.
Yeah, I was going to do that but now not sure. A buddy had one and idk what was going on. He was using it and then all his lights started to flicker and fuel pump got fried.
Hey that atv is pretty damn cool, I’ll tell you what if it ain’t got dirt it’s nothing, I am myself in search of a 2019 I appreciate the video, i’m looking forward to getting mine👌👍

Yeah its definitely a beast. Its pulled out everything I've had to no problem. Need to add some snorkel risers on mine
Yes sir she definitely holds her own. I will be doing the risers next as well!
What park do you ride the most?
Usually Twisted or Xtreme but I want to go to creek side and some of the others real soon though. Add my ig: GodDrivenRider let’s ride out sometime

Good review. Do yourself a favor and get it smoke tested, it may save you a headache down the road.
Appreciate it it. Yeah I plan on getting it smoke tested. Doing my snorkel risers now then after thats done test it
I'm thinking on getting this for my first ATV, what kind of test is that and why you recommend it?

@@OleNasty79 thanks
Get a kfi winch 3500lbs you have to get the plate mount for it to work
Yeah, I was going to do that but now not sure. A buddy had one and idk what was going on. He was using it and then all his lights started to flicker and fuel pump got fried.
Keep it and throw another set of less aggressive tire with rim to do more trail ridding then mud it will change a lot the comfort of the machine
Yeah thats not a bad idea. You have any specific tires in mind?
@@MUD365op any smaller wheel like stock wheel will do the job just find
@@dannyboy1984 i think i will give it a shot. see how she feels and handles. Thanks!
I have a 2017 what tires do you recommend for les aggressive trail riding?
Great review man 👍🏼
Thanks man!
I'm thinking about getting one. But 9 need one to be good in deep snow
Nice! unfortunately no snow down here. Should be WAY easier to clean 😆
@@MUD365op 6 months we have snow here.
Wow! Not sure how to even process that.. lol. I'd have lots and lots of blankets hahaha
Just bought one of these
Whats your thoughts on it?

Its been a good atv. Its built pretty tough.
I hate Polaris but this bike seems pretty cool anything wrong with the snorkels,wheel bearings,axels,maintenance?
Yeah i was the same way. Its a really good bike. So far no real issues. Just heavy and doesn't turn good lol
Great video keep it up
Thanks! I'll try my best lol
Sad thing it only has 7200 rpm and it only goes 50 mph i’m just gonna go with dirt bikes
