Heard from a good source that there it 525 IRS, 525 SRA, and 450SRA. All three should be released on 07/22/07.

If true that should cover the all forms of completion and personal preference. I will stay with the IRS I can ride longer with it.

The 525's aren't heavy at all. I can easily pick up the front or the rear with one arm. 390lbs or 350lbs not a big enough difference in my book to even worry about. Unless you are trying to be superman and fly through the air. Ride it like you stole it and enjoy it.

According to DW mag, the 450MXR will be 378lbs, but looks to have Maxxis Razr MX tires stock, so that will ad some weight compared to other stock quads, and still has reverse. The 525 will be 10lbs heavier at 388lbs.

I would say the 450 as it has MX tires. That was the only pic I saw.

thats awesome, will the 525 IRS be the same as the 07 or will they fix the problums and also will the 08 525 IRS have any added stuff or is it to early to tell yet:confused: ;)

That quad did not appear to have IRS at all. Very interesting they still called it an outlaw

Good move for Polaris now they will have a 450 for MX racing and the two 525's for GNCC and desert. One of the smart moves is that with the same basic frame and engine all the bolt on stuff should fit all three quads. All the after market guy have to add is a rear skid for the SRA Outlaws. Big question is are they going to have a Pro MX race team next year? I am still staying with the IRS I can ride longer.

new models are on the polaris website now.

I am pumped for the sport quads and cant wait to see what they can do.

However I had my hopes up again for a redesigned scrambler and I got bold new graphics again this year woo hoo! :mad:

the 450 mx machine is another half hearted attempt by polaris. they call it a mx machine but dont make it 49" wide??? why buy this model when you could wait for the real thing? the KTM !!

or buy an ltr now !

I rode the 450 and 525s yesterday, they are sweet. In comparisson they are as good or better than anything out there.
The IRS is heavier but those who are concerned about it's ability to get some big air should talk to the guys at H-Bomb. They don't seem to have any problems........ :cool:

no the W-TEC is around 15.000euro's so that would be about 18 to 20K
the new eraser EVO is an awesome machine.
its winning most of the top events in europe now

yup the only race ready quad you can buy is the ATK450 mx. That is until the KTM 450mx comes out. I dunno why people think the lt450r is so race ready its not even close. and it handles like crap on top of that.

Damn that is a pretty stupid comment. I own both a predator and an LTR. Stock for stock for the novice racer (which is most of us) the LTR is a very race ready bike and it actually handles very well. At my local track on my stock a armed ltr I can give some of the pro riders a run for there money.

Hey SVTPete- this is Mike from the Riverfront track.
Wait till you throw a leg over the 450 MX- it rocks.
I need to get to the track soon so I'm in decent shape for Pismo.
I've been on the road for 31/2 weeks.
See you out there soon

what do you think is faster the ltr(hopefully stock?)or the predator(hopefully pure polaris exhaust)?

I found this pic surprising. The Outlaw 450/KFX450

I rode a 525 outlaw and rode and almost bought a polaris predator/ktm 450 about 2 years ago. I hope they are better then the predator.

360lbs VS 380lbs makes that pic about right.

what are they thinking when they did that, it doesent madder if the KFX weighed less than the Outlaw450 it will still kick its *** in performance. Even the other 450's

Evasiveone
07-31-2007, 08:45 AM
LOL,

Oultaw dude you need to brush up on your physics. The heavier machine will be down and the lighter machine will be in the air. In that picture they are showing the Outlaw 450 is lighter than the KFX450.

ALL OF YOU IDIOTS MISSED THE TRUE MEANING OF THAT DISPLAY. POLARIS WAS REALLY TRYING TO SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO SPONSER A POLARIS RIDER IN THE 2008 NATIONAL TEETER TOTTER CHAMPIONSHIPS, LET THE DOMONATION BEGIN!
