I have a 400ex right now and I kind of want a 4x4 and a sport fourwheeler. The only quad that has both these is the Polaris Scrambler. I am looking at the 500s because I dont want a 2 stroke. I have a few questioins first; Is it fast ( comparable to 400ex), reliable, 4wheel drive any good. thanks alot

The scrambler 500 is pretty fast, and yes, the 4wd is selectable. I have a 300 lb buddy who has a piped 500 scrambler that is just a little bit slower than my 400ex. They're pretty powerful, but the suspension sucks, and as with any polaris, be ready to shred some belts.

i was gonna say the same thing about the belts. Where i ride trails you often see a random polaris with a burnt up belt. I see alot of belts laying along the trails as well...

How fast is the 500 four stroke compared to other sport quads.

My father had a 2001 Scrambler 500. He put an Aaen pipe and an Aaen clutch kit. In a drag race we were dead even through 3rd gear on my stock 400 ex. After 3rd gear I would start to pull away from him. The bike was nice, but he traded it in for a 2004 Polaris Predator. For his kind of riding, he loves the Predator. But, if you want a four wheel drive sport ATV, I don't think there any better.
