  • Perfect for interior Alaska
    By Doug (I am an Owner) on Aug 08, 2020

    I purchased mine used about a year ago, it had been beat up pretty hard. Surprisingly I haven't put as much in to it as I thought I would have to. I really like the the smaller frame with a 455 displacement. Very reliable machine that has never had maintenance except an occasional oil change before ...

Being on a smaller chassis makes it really maneuverable and nimble which is always great when your in the trail. By no means is the underpowered either. ...

You have to a contortionist to replace the battery-----forget about ...

  • The old ladies bike
    By mark (I am an Owner) on Oct 19, 2012

    Meaning i bought this for the old lady.small frame, manuverable would be better if it was fuel injected. Under powered real short wheelbase little sketchy on the steep DH's. Climbs good, no 4 low though. Must keep front of rad clean of debris including spore seeds from bushs overheated once.

    By john (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2012

    great machine i have used it like a car for the past two years and now at a year and 6 months of ownership it now has 2400 miles in it. The only issue is it does overheat i would suggest going with the polaris extended warranty because service gets expensive. the quality of polaris products are far ...
