The difference between the two machines is very obvious once you take a look at the rear of the machine with its "IRS" Independent Rear Suspension, which is a first in mainstream production sport machines.
The IRS system provides plenty of ground clearance in comparison to a straight axle, which normally limits ground clearance to only a few inches. I have ridden IRS on Utility machines and it made a huge difference when trail riding and the ability to keep power to the ground, and if the new Polaris concepts works as well as Smiley has explained, the new Outlaw could eventually become king of the woods, and if anybody can make this new Polaris shine, it will be Matt Smiley.
For those interested in checking out the new Polaris Outlaw for themselves, the Polaris rig will be at the next two rounds, and at St. Clairsville, OH, the Outlaw will be available to test ride on a closed course.
