Poli great ride
By Kevin Skavhaug (I am an Owner) on Sep 26, 2013Purchased my 11 xp550 touring two years ago now and here's what I know now.
1) Great ergos -- looks good, feels good, and fits great.
2) The ride is top notch. The power steering is one of the top 2 things great thing ever done to a quad in my opinion.
3) I love the extended ... length. Ride solo 99% of the time and the extra wheel base makes it a dream to ride up, down or anywhere in between.
4) Reliability has been outstanding..Not one issue in two years.
5) Power: not bad... its not the 850 but I dont need the extra... I plow big snow all winter, pull sprayers all summer, and ride merrily along alone at 45 mph happy as can be.
6) I did replace the tires with Growlers... wow!
Couldnt be more satisfied with any machine as this one.

Nice Ride
By Kirk (I am an Enthusiast) on Jan 10, 2013I don't own one, but I've put a lot of miles on my dad's. It's a very comfortable riding quad with nice cushy suspension. EPS is great. Even with 2 people on it it steers effortlessly. Passenger seat is even comfortable. Good power, good throttle response. 4x4 works very well.
As with most ... Polaris quads, it takes a lot of engine revs to get it moving, and there are some clunks that come from the transmission/driveline which is odd.
I really don't like the ADC or decent control. Very finicky and sometimes scary when the tires nearly lock up going down hills. Polaris needs a "redo" with that.
Overall it's a very good machine though. You have to take the negatives with the positives with any quad...
