rundrave Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 New models are on their webpage. Outlaw with KTM 525 motor. Polaris claims that in testing it out ran EVERYTHING including the 450's and Raptor 700. And best of all LESS WEIGHT. Same weight as Raptor 700! Polaris finally did it right. The Predator keeps the 500 motor. The Outlaw will still have the 500 the first half of the year, then get the 525 KTM . Even with the 525, it still maintains reverse and electric start. Other than that, nothing too exciting. The X2 gets an 800 model and has an updated seat latch and cushier seat. Now you can get 2 different Sportsman 500/700/800: a standard model Sportsman with no EBS, and steel wheels; or a deluxe model with aluminum wheels , EBS (4 wheel), rear rack extender, and a winch standard. So now you have a lower priced alternative if you don't want all the bells and whistles. The 800 didn't get any more power or double a-arms, etc. as rumored. Carb 500/700 dropped. The Scrambler is now black/gray and looks really sharp, but not redesigned. (I am really bummed!) I wanted efi, and 700cc!!! No Trail Blazer replacement.

SomethingFishy* Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The limited edition 800 EFI in Stealth Black looks pretty sweet, but if it's actually painted than it won't be worth the extra $$$. I have an 06 LE painted and it looks like garbage within a few miles as the paint scratches easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just skeptical because I have seen a few talk claims from "polaris testing" over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
