It's pretty stupid how heated people get about who's the fastest and who has the least problems and who has the most power...what machine looks better..bla bla...can't we just say we all dig ATV's...it sounds like some if the guys on here would be fighting if a guy on different ATV than you showed up to ride....I ride with guys riding all kinds of machines...lots of can-ams, kawi's, polaris, artic cats....sport machines... Big crazy 4x4's...renegades....old...new...who gives a shit...have fun..
I own a polaris touring 550 since more than a year now... great machine, have lots of fun with it, in the snow, sand and mountain trails. Easy to maintain. I don't regret choosing it one bit. I chose that over can am because of the price and the fact that the base model had more to offer than the can am IMO.
That's a tough question. You really can't lose with either. We'd really like to compare the Scrambler 850 and Renegade 800R head-to-head to get a better idea. However, the Renegade has long been the king of this class and will get the benefit of the doubt until a shootout can be arranged.
I love reading these reviews..I actually build ATV's. I've worked at both Polaris and Arctic cat..WHen your on the in you will realize that Polaris is the NUMBER 1 quality rated ATV's on earth and the number 1 selling. brand loyaltys keep sales up and competition interesting but hate or not there is no denying that this is a badass machine.
I would have preferred Polaris just fuel injected the old 400cc 4X4. That is what made the 1st Scrambler so great, it was truely a Sport Utility hybrid. This is just another Utility quad.
Just got this little beauty and it is AMAZING!!! I agree with the fender coverage, it needs some improvement but don't mind getting a little dirty on it. Only thing I don't really like is the rear rack, if you throw a second person on the back the rack jabs them in the butt. If the two points were either further back or more rounded I think it would be amazing. But for now I have already pulled off the rack and enjoy riding her so much!!
I have a 2011 Sportsman 550 XP and I love it.Everything is pretty much the same except the engine. It has about 450 miles on it without any problems. If i could go back I might purchase the 850 just to say I have one but the 550 has the torque. I keep up with my buddy's Can-Am 800 in the woods but obviously a drag race is a different story. No problems pulling my 60" trail mower around (our property is mostly steep hills). Haven't been stuck even with stock Maxxis tires. Great plowing too!
I have owned a lot of quads and worked on them throughout my whole life. my recommendation is going for a 2012 or 2013 sportsman 500 they have a lot of great deals for them right now. they have a updated 500cc computer more powerful then the older sportsmans. if you want the biggest 800 or 850 would be a great quad really have but highly reliable and great for trail/mud /snow/dirt I rated it one of the top quads.
That's an impressive use of the word garbage - 15% of total words used. However, can't say I agree. While I never rode the Scrambler 500 until it was near the end of its cycle, the Sportsman 800 has long been a favorite.
We'll try and start with the 800. How are you liking the 1000? We've spent a little time with it, but not too much. We did have the Outlander 1000 for quite a while and it's got awesome power, but the shocks may not be stiff enough to handle it.
Looking at buying a used 2013 Scamblet XP, seller says “does have a check engine light on for throttle safety but still running and driving like it should.” Sounds like BS to me, like buyer beware. What are your thoughts on the check engine light?
I agree with you about the scramblers being garbage but the ride really is one of the best i have ever experienced. The issue i have with polaris is quality. A great ride is appreciated on a long trail ride unfortunately the machine may not get you there.
where do you get that number????? the limited Scrambler is listed @ 13,999$CDN I bought a Renegade XXC 1000 (same options as the limited) for 13,400$CDN. So I got a extra 5hp for 600$ less than they ask for the Polaris actually.
I have an inquiry. My budget isn't really allowing me to lean towards a can am. So I've been in the market of the Polaris sportsman 850 do. I'm new to the atv world and I want something that will get me through the rides my buddies go on. How does the polaris fair as far as durability compared to can am and the other machines? Experienced and educated opinions are greatly appreciated.
nice quad same as the 850 sportsman just without racks . i dont like where the drive clutch and primary clutch is located changeing a belt would be abit of a pain.
Actually me and a buddy ran head to head... me on my Outy X xc and him on his 2012 850xp. He pulled everyhole shot and actually pulled away slightly up to 50 mph. Coulda been the wet pavement w/ my ITP holeshots vs his stock tires or gearing... who cares really, all I can say is it was a blast and his polaris is made in the U.S.A.
how did they fail please explain??? just because the renegade is a 1000cc doesnt mean that the scrambler cant keep up. the 2013 can am outlander 1000 vs the polaris 850 xp, 7 out of 10 people choose the polaris. it has way better ergonomics and suspension. hands down the polaris is the way to go for comfort.
I'll beg to differ there.. I have a 1000 'Gade and my buddy has an 850 Scrambler. Despite who's driving, the front suspension always tires out first in the Polaris.... They both sound stupid in stock form, but I'm going to say the renegade sounds much better with a silencer. Buddy's been a Polaris guy his whole life but 500 miles on this Scrambler has turned him into a BRP man. They each have their quirks, but as far as a true sport machine, BRP all the way
I love it! I got Polaris fans all angry! Polaris is the one that show in their ads the Scrambler blowing by a Renegade. lol So they brought it upon themselves when they shit like that. I'll say it again, BRING IT ON!
cool idea different from the original scrambler. all this is a sportsman without racks and different plastic.i would buy one I don't mind the looks and not a fan on where the belt location is.
Honda may not be the best but I've had good luck with them I've got one and we've got 2 others our rancher 350 is 4wd with slicks and it goes everywhere
Lol. So buddy of mine got this bike two nights ago. Beautiful bike. Insanely fast. It feels like it is going to rip your face off. Buttttt the first night out on a hard ride he bent his left rear rim the head lights went out and it started over heating
Well RenelanderTV Tim Farr took holeshot at Unadilla on a Scrambler against a whole line of Cracked Ams.... Hope you enjoy your AMAZING frame cracking, horrible belt whine and being beat by a cheaper, less powerful machine.
A guy I work with had to put 3 grand worth of parts on his 1000 outlander in the last 3 years ( belts, tie rods ext) so I don't get why the brp guys are always chirping lol
What 850? Where is your proof? Oh and I forgot to mention the Rene has fewer features and the are having problems with the water pumps leaking. Belt whine is caused from extra friction(which means less of that extra power making it to the ground.....) Polaris was the first in CVT and they still have the best clutches in the industry.
I've had two renegades and found them impractical. The first was a 2009 500 and the second was a 2012 800. The latter machine was nothing but a headache but the former was a solid performer. I can't stand the new frame it adds way too much weight. I have never had good luck with polaris, they should focus on quality not how many crappy new machines they can dole out. I know i may be waiting awhile but i would like to see yamaha make a serious big bore 4x4.
all I would do is install red hid head lights and put some armor on the bottom of it and i would put a k&n air filter on it with the filter grease and maby some kinda aftermarket full exaust system probably HMF
I'm pretty sure the Scrambler as well as the Renegade will have plenty of power for almost anyone regardless of one being a bike length or so slower than the other. How can you call it a fail just because the Renegade 1000 is a little faster? After all the Renegade is a 1000 compared to an 850. BTW I'm not taking up for Polaris. I actually don't even like them. Just noticed your ignorant comment and figured I'd chime in.
Normally when people have objections to machines they have a reason. Polaris had problems with their engine breathers and ball joints, which they adressed. Every machine ever made has strong points and weak links, but putting down 13k for a Can Am which is gonna crack a frame if you ride it hard seems a bit foolish for me.
or Honda is not a bad way to go they are great quads do I recommend the Rincon 680 the rancher 420 is another great one out of the Honda selection. for Suzuki the vinson 450 fuel injected or 500 .
Not worth the little bit of savings. And if I remeber right the original Scramblers were 2 wheel drive. Also put a Sportsman in 4 wheel low and you can rip trees right out of the ground.
I Tend to Favor Can-Am or B.R.P. in general but in all honesty the Polaris is the better buy. There cheaper an offer alot more then Can-am Does, There more reliable and just feel more solid. Polaris is Dominating ATV and SideXsides for a reason. They've been completely destroying Honda over the last few years. There Damn good machines, Sleds on the other hand it's all SKI-DOO for me.
BRING THAT THING ON! It wants to be competition to the Can-Am Renegade, well come and line it up against my Renegade XXC 1000! Nice job at failing Polaris!
Thing is its a win for polaris or a whatever for polaris. IF it beats the renegade 100 it makes it look pathetic, if not then hey its a 1000cc what did you expect anyway, right?
why do I have to prove anything toy you? noone has ever pulled an 850? and thanks for letting me know of can-am issues. maybe lookup polaris problems so you have an idea of what this one is going to be like in the near future
it just doesn't look that appealing compared to a Renegade, it still looks like a utility atv to me. Stock my 07 renegade 800 sounds much better as well. Just hard to compete with the best quad made so far. (personal opinion ofcourse)
exactly... but i actually like the look.. it fits right in with my switch back assault... i guess as they say " an asshole for every seat", type of thing, no?
There all good and bad, this looks like a fun atv but il stick with my little Honda it's been good to me and hey it works and it doesn't have 1000cc and it goes damn near anywhere and it's only a 350 rancher.
Are you kidding? Im sure these will come with their own problems. Oh no, I can hear my belt but atleast my bike still moves under its own power unlike the 850xp that is hooked behind me

TJ Huerd You worked for Polaris? What did you think of the product quality?
Sounds fair. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. Regardless of its looks, it's a blast to ride.
I love that there's more competition in this category now. Hopefully we can put a Scrambler/Renegade shootout together with a video.
I would have preferred Polaris just fuel injected the old 400cc 4X4. That is what made the 1st Scrambler so great, it was truely a Sport Utility hybrid. This is just another Utility quad.

Can't wait to take one of these on with my Renegade 1000 XXC
Love the 1000, great power and the xxc handles awesome.
We'll try and start with the 800. How are you liking the 1000? We've spent a little time with it, but not too much. We did have the Outlander 1000 for quite a while and it's got awesome power, but the shocks may not be stiff enough to handle it.
grizzly 700 is a super good reliable quad, and the 750 kinq quad is solid and silky smooth. Both machines will give you long reliable fun.
this is the 1st polaris i like..
i think it looks badass i cant wait to get one
Looking at buying a used 2013 Scamblet XP, seller says “does have a check engine light on for throttle safety but still running and driving like it should.” Sounds like BS to me, like buyer beware. What are your thoughts on the check engine light?
Looks like a want to be renegade body to me but I like where the sport/utility ATV is going
I agree with you about the scramblers being garbage but the ride really is one of the best i have ever experienced. The issue i have with polaris is quality. A great ride is appreciated on a long trail ride unfortunately the machine may not get you there.
i'm thinking about buying one of these for my son but what i was wanting to ask is why does the black scrambler cost more then the white one?
Very nice, what would you have? This or the renegade?
where do you get that number????? the limited Scrambler is listed @ 13,999$CDN I bought a Renegade XXC 1000 (same options as the limited) for 13,400$CDN.
So I got a extra 5hp for 600$ less than they ask for the Polaris actually.
You'll get no argument here on the Renegade 800R. We'd really like to compare them head-to-head. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
Lol at the guy almost flipping at 2:18
I have an inquiry. My budget isn't really allowing me to lean towards a can am. So I've been in the market of the Polaris sportsman 850 do. I'm new to the atv world and I want something that will get me through the rides my buddies go on. How does the polaris fair as far as durability compared to can am and the other machines? Experienced and educated opinions are greatly appreciated.
That would be great to see you put the scramber and the renegade 800 in a shootout.And hey if the scrambler beats the 800 , bring in the 1000.
I bought one and love it.... that being said, They should have called it Sportmans 850 sport or something.
nice quad same as the 850 sportsman just without racks . i dont like where the drive clutch and primary clutch is located changeing a belt would be abit of a pain.
Actually me and a buddy ran head to head... me on my Outy X xc and him on his 2012 850xp. He pulled everyhole shot and actually pulled away slightly up to 50 mph. Coulda been the wet pavement w/ my ITP holeshots vs his stock tires or gearing... who cares really, all I can say is it was a blast and his polaris is made in the U.S.A.
Buy a can am if you got the money if not polaris would be the next choice. I got a can am outty 1000XT 2013 and freaking love it.
What happened to the 2 wheel drives from polaris?
how did they fail please explain??? just because the renegade is a 1000cc doesnt mean that the scrambler cant keep up. the 2013 can am outlander 1000 vs the polaris 850 xp, 7 out of 10 people choose the polaris. it has way better ergonomics and suspension. hands down the polaris is the way to go for comfort.
and just how would you know, do you own one?
Does the base model polaris scrambler 850 incluedes LEDs?
It looks badass
I'll beg to differ there.. I have a 1000 'Gade and my buddy has an 850 Scrambler. Despite who's driving, the front suspension always tires out first in the Polaris.... They both sound stupid in stock form, but I'm going to say the renegade sounds much better with a silencer. Buddy's been a Polaris guy his whole life but 500 miles on this Scrambler has turned him into a BRP man. They each have their quirks, but as far as a true sport machine, BRP all the way
Ok, everyone needs to STFU about who has the faster more powerful ATV. I just bought one and i am going to ride it and enjoy it.
that looks sick
the atv isnt ugly. very pretty
I love it! I got Polaris fans all angry!
Polaris is the one that show in their ads the Scrambler blowing by a Renegade. lol
So they brought it upon themselves when they shit like that.
I'll say it again, BRING IT ON!
cool idea different from the original scrambler. all this is a sportsman without racks and different plastic.i would buy one I don't mind the looks and not a fan on where the belt location is.
Now we can keep up with those can am
ATC 250r, nuff said
Not sure that's a fair fight. The Renegade 800 X xc seems like the target. Either way, more competition can only be good news for consumers.
Honda may not be the best but I've had good luck with them I've got one and we've got 2 others our rancher 350 is 4wd with slicks and it goes everywhere
what demographics are you trying to sell this to. it looks like you are tying to sale to above 60 club with the guys in the clip.
Lol. So buddy of mine got this bike two nights ago. Beautiful bike. Insanely fast. It feels like it is going to rip your face off. Buttttt the first night out on a hard ride he bent his left rear rim the head lights went out and it started over heating
Inadequate front shocks, in our experience. Work fine of the 800, but the 1000 is too much engine unless you upgrade the front suspenders.
@atvdotcom what is speed of this scrambler?
Well RenelanderTV Tim Farr took holeshot at Unadilla on a Scrambler against a whole line of Cracked Ams.... Hope you enjoy your AMAZING frame cracking, horrible belt whine and being beat by a cheaper, less powerful machine.
SWEET DEAL! a sport utility where the frame wont crack!! :D
Great machine!!
My bro got it awesome I got the Polaris sports man 400 2012 it's XD LOVE IT
are these American made?
A guy I work with had to put 3 grand worth of parts on his 1000 outlander in the last 3 years ( belts, tie rods ext) so I don't get why the brp guys are always chirping lol

polaris has had a scrambler way before the renegade was invented and now polaris is just building a bigger one
sorry the price of the scrambler was in us dollars. but it still $1200 less ($13,599) both prices are off of the official can am and polaris sites
It looks great :)
3:50 That's the sound of failure! lol
all I would do is install red hid head lights and put some armor on the bottom of it and i would put a k&n air filter on it with the filter grease and maby some kinda aftermarket full exaust system probably HMF
still havent fixed that rear break line
I'm pretty sure the Scrambler as well as the Renegade will have plenty of power for almost anyone regardless of one being a bike length or so slower than the other.

different editions and options.
Normally when people have objections to machines they have a reason. Polaris had problems with their engine breathers and ball joints, which they adressed. Every machine ever made has strong points and weak links, but putting down 13k for a Can Am which is gonna crack a frame if you ride it hard seems a bit foolish for me.
or Honda is not a bad way to go they are great quads do I recommend the Rincon 680 the rancher 420 is another great one out of the Honda selection. for Suzuki the vinson 450 fuel injected or 500 .
It's not the prettiest ATV we've ever seen, but we don't ride ATVs because they're pretty.
Yeah your right , in both respects,still be fun to watch them try to keep up to me, lol.
Do you prefer CAN AM or POLARIS ?
grande maquina
0:37 I thought that was a major jump behind him lol
Dude I thought the exact same thing! I was like Holy f... Wait a second that's not a jump 😂
any questions please feel free to message me I can answer any questions or check out some of my videos!
Nice tractor
Only thing this Polaris rips and shreds are belts!
Not worth the little bit of savings. And if I remeber right the original Scramblers were 2 wheel drive. Also put a Sportsman in 4 wheel low and you can rip trees right out of the ground.
So its a sportman 850 with fox shocks... Pretty disappointed.
I Tend to Favor Can-Am or B.R.P. in general but in all honesty the Polaris is the better buy. There cheaper an offer alot more then Can-am Does, There more reliable and just feel more solid.

BRING THAT THING ON!
It wants to be competition to the Can-Am Renegade, well come and line it up against my Renegade XXC 1000!
Nice job at failing Polaris!
outlaw 850... that should be next
can-am enough said
Thing is its a win for polaris or a whatever for polaris. IF it beats the renegade 100 it makes it look pathetic, if not then hey its a 1000cc what did you expect anyway, right?
lol awesome ... ill line up with my outty and see it get owned also ....
why do I have to prove anything toy you? noone has ever pulled an 850? and thanks for letting me know of can-am issues. maybe lookup polaris problems so you have an idea of what this one is going to be like in the near future
2013 Polaris
And video uploaded 2012
it just doesn't look that appealing compared to a Renegade, it still looks like a utility atv to me. Stock my 07 renegade 800 sounds much better as well. Just hard to compete with the best quad made so far. (personal opinion ofcourse)
exactly... but i actually like the look.. it fits right in with my switch back assault... i guess as they say " an asshole for every seat", type of thing, no?
This thing is way to top heavy needs a wider stance.
Polaris created scrambler before the caned ham rene was out
if ya wanna stay clean pretty boy stay inside
There all good and bad, this looks like a fun atv but il stick with my little Honda it's been good to me and hey it works and it doesn't have 1000cc and it goes damn near anywhere and it's only a 350 rancher.
Polaris makes the best snowmobiles. however i have never liked their ATV's.
тачка супер я тестировал
We like
to bad you can use that $5000 that you saved by buying the polaris to make up for that what... 4hp less?
Are you kidding? Im sure these will come with their own problems. Oh no, I can hear my belt but atleast my bike still moves under its own power unlike the 850xp that is hooked behind me
yeh polaris is the best
And I would buy a scrambler in a second...I think they look awesome....that doesn't mean I think your ride is a POS....
