The Polaris Scrambler XP 850 ATV is not only fast, but it is also very stable on rocky trails with the help of Electronic Power Steering. The EPS not only helps cut down on steering effort, but it also helps reduce kick back. We found ourselves grateful many times that the 2013 Polaris Scrambler XP 850 had EPS while riding over the rocky trails at high speed.

While at Bull Run Guest Ranch we found several natural terrain jumps that we were able to catch some air on. Although the 2013 Polaris Scrambler XP 850 Sport Utility ATV weighs more than a normal sport ATV, it was fairly easy to launch the Scrambler and through it around in the midair.

The 2013 Polaris Scrambler XP 850 Limited Edition comes with a large digital instrument panel, hand guards, FOX shocks, and gloss black plastic |
To help slow the ATV down, Polaris chose to use braided steel brake lines with single lever brakes in addition to engine braking on both the standard and limited edition models. The engine braking did a great job of slowing the machine down while going down hill and we relied less on the standard braking system thus reducing brake wear.
