Good review. I’ve owned most brands and I like my new 2023 Polaris 850 Ultimate. It’s a mean beast and very smooth. I’m older at 70+ so I’m more into technical riding as I’m tired of breaking bones, but I love the challenges of extreme technical trails. Moab is one of my favorite places. What an amazing ATV Polaris has developed over the years. Please remember to “tread lightly “ gang to keep the trails open and join organizations that can develop more. Happy Trails!

I've got a 2022 Sportsman 570 Trail, that I've had for 1.5 years. It's been an awesome. I currently have about 2000kms or about 1300 miles and havent had a single problem with it. Absolutely love my machine. Great video!
If you DID have problems within that time frame would be concerning, a quad should last a long time ATLEAST a decade so saying it’s went one and a half years with no issues is not impressive.
I’ve had Honda’s,Yamaha, Suzuki, back in 2008 I think … I bought one of the first RZR’s .. biggest pile of shit I ever had. Everything broke… then I traded it for a Honda Foreman 500.. rode that for 15 years… finally retired the old girl and I bought a 2024 sportsman 570 hunt edition. Pleasantly surprised, it runs awesome and is so comfortable! So far so good, but I will say, if it gives me any shit, any shit at all, I’m shipping it and buying another Honda.
sweet machine, I had a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 400 HO, did not have any issues with it, ran and performed good. I jumped on (picking it up in a couple weeks) a Argo XR 500, I got for 7K and 3 year warranty (I live in Canada) will be doing a pick up and review when I pick it up! Good Luck with the Machine! looks killer! subbed!
2023, six months later, belt is hitting top of housing, if I didn't do a thorough inspection i would have been left in the middle of the woods with a busted water hose. The intake on the belt housing was rubbing a hole. Man!! I could keep going.
I had a 2018 570 sportsman I bought new I think it was made cheap and didn’t like battery location and the plastic throttle but I didn’t have any issues with mine but I didn’t drive it abuse either but I will say it was a great riding machine very comfortable on trails
Polaris has been junk for along time.. Iv met many people in northern MN who work at the factories and say the same. Growing up they would breakdown 5-1 compared to other machines on rides. Watched a brand new atv break down on the first ride.
Well you bought the bottom of the line 570 that’s why no lights.. also the suspension on the base model is basic compared to the trail models. Still a great machine but it is what it is base model.
@@stevenmiddagh6265 I don’t even mind the halogens. I don’t ever use them. I was just pointing out that 10 grand for halogens seems like a rip off for people who ride at night.
Polaris does make some dumb design decisions that make you wonder about the overall build quality. An open battery located near the bottom of the quad? Belt case snorkels and wires exposed to the rear tire?
@@primer3458 Because a lot of unsuspecting buyers are stuck buying "Made in America" eventhough its not the best brand! My neibough is an "all brands" repair shop and his yard is FULL of Polaris waiting to get repaired. He siad if it wasn't for Polaris making such a shitty product he would have to close his doors. This is where I see ir first hand! It doesn't matter how many times you reply to my comments Polaris is still JUNK! Period!
That one is made cheap it has 15 year old front shocks you can't even ride them at night because you can't see the 2021s have a lot of problems big time to bad because they were making really good quads I have had three of them but would not buy one again to bad
Everyone knows Polaris shocks are easily the best on the market. I’ve owned every main manufacturer atv and if you don’t like Polaris shocks than you don’t know atvs very well. Also it takes 5 minutes to install new headlights. I don’t know why to you that ruins the quad lmao
I bought a 23 570 Trail Edition. Full LED lights from factory. Love it !!

Yeah like I mentioned in the video the newer 570s have a great design. Thank you!
@primer3458 yea just bought a 23 570 and 450. So far so good.

I have been very happy with my 2017 1 k ! It has been great, and I’m a huge Yamaha guy

they're junk

I recently bought a 2023, and the battery is down low. As you mentioned, silliness! I wish it was up high, like yours!!!
Wow didn’t didn’t realize there newer models had that battery issue as well. Shame on Polaris
I have 2 2023. And batter is under storage top?
They have in the same location as the 2021 and 2022 models. You sure it’s a 2023?
Love that color
Got 2500 miles on abused 2018 Yamaha has original belt and it’s had water mud in it been abused never a issue
Can’t go wrong with Yamaha

Yeah they are hit or miss. I feel like people either love them or hate them. Skol Vikings!
If they were are junk as you claim they wouldn’t be still successfully selling them lol
Two negative points in ATV i dislike:
No turn lights,and accelerating by thumb.
Well you bought the bottom of the line 570 that’s why no lights.. also the suspension on the base model is basic compared to the trail models. Still a great machine but it is what it is base model.
Point is almost 10 grand for a machine shouldn’t come with 30 dollar halogens lights.
@@primer3458then you should have bought a different model. You knew about the lights when you got it.

Well they fixed the battery issue 4 years ago. But still I don’t know what they were thinking in the first place!
We don’t need a youtube video telling us their junk, we all know their junk!
The video explains that they are not junk. Learn how to listen to a video with commenting like an idiot.
He liked the Polaris? Wow he’s a first!
Why is Polaris the 2nd most popular brand bought in America if they suck so bad?@@markb9241

@@primer3458 they only sell this many because Americans are stuck in buying American even though there are better ones in the market!
Mine is junk. 1200 miles? Lmfao. Yeah mine lasted that long at least. Been broke down for over a year.
Back in my day…..you were absolutely gay if you rode ANYTHING AUTOMATIC! Nobody liked Polaris back in the day
