Astonishing power and performance
By Jason Berrey (I am an Owner) on Sep 28, 2012I am amazed at the performance that this machine delivers. I recently traded in my 2010 Sportsman 550 EPS for this machine and first of all, could not believe the value my 550 retained on a trade-in. Secondly, it feels like virtually the same machine in all aspects except power. A buddy's (2007) ... Arctic Cat 650 had just enough to keep up with my 550; Now he eats my dust. After a 120 mile weekend in northern MN, I had difficulty agreeing with the sentiments of my compadres as they explained how sore their shoulders were as a result of the aggressive riding. I honestly could not relate as the handling and suspension are second to none. Note to self: NEVER go without power steering. LOVE IT! Joy riding on the endless MN trails is indescribable on this thing. Plowing snow was actually an enjoyable pass-time on my 550. I can't wait to see what 77HP will do. Do not hesitate in considering this machine. It is a beast. I decided on the 4 year warranty and will be riding it like I stole it! Show me a better value to HP/performance ratio, I dare you.

Great ATV
By Gyula (I am an Owner) on Jul 08, 2012I just purchased this quad a few days ago. I test drove a 700 Yamaha Grizzly and a Kawasaki Brute Force 300. Believe it or not, the little 300 put up quite a challenge. The Sportsman had better suspension and engine braking than the Grizzly. I also liked the color and wheel/tire offerings with ... Polaris. One thing to note. Do not leave the key in the ignition around toddlers/small kids. It is very easy to start and drive off. My 3 year old daughter nearly drove off! Power steering is awesome. This quad is a beast.

Simply Amazing!
By Derek (I am an Owner) on Mar 20, 2012Was amazed by the 850 in the showroom and in test drives. Now with one of my own it is amazing every time I ride it! From performance in bumps, mud, crawling thru thick timber it just flat out is the best. the power is smooth and never ends. The power steering is superb to the Can Am and polaris ... ride quality is top notch.
