Colby from C&D Racing put the Sportsman through its paces
The 850 is a powerhouse and fast as all get out!
The package from Polaris on this model is spot on. It has most add on's in place for the 4x4 crowd and is trail ready!
As muddy as it was, the Sportsman 850 had enough grunt and traction to claw its way into the air and landed light! The suspension really worked well.
The machine was purpose built to give the most power and speed in its class.
The braking and engine braking systems are unreal.
The Polaris folks that were with us thought they needed to move these logs when Colby puled up to them on the Outlaw IRS model....before they knew what was going on, Colby was already over them:devil:
The IRS really shines on the trail. While it may never develop a huge race following, it is at home where the terrain gets nasty!
The Sportsman is deffinatley not your old Polaris model, the narrow seat and other refinements put this model back in the running for top spot in the 4x4 market. Unless another big model is unvieled, I believe your looking at the 4x4 of the year for 2009
The camo Ranger is now not alone in this color scheme as the Razr model can be had in it as well. The camo really works well for hunters and outdoorsman and I can attest to how well it holds up.
Better front end protection should help stave off some damage as you run through the woods and trails
