X2 REVIEW
« Thread Started on May 30, 2006, 8:58am »

Ok, I bought a Polaris Sportsman X2. We have put almost 3hrs on it and 24miles, our first big ride we put 22miles on it and used less than a gallon of gas.

It is a single 500cc HO EFI, 4x4 w/awd/2x4/and turf mode. It has a 6gal fuel tank/ a dump bed and a passenger seat. It has a different style of IRS than used on single passenger Sportsmans. It came with stock 489 tires, which I replaced with PXTs. The turf mode sends power to the inside wheel when turning, allowing for tighter radius turns. It feels squirrlly at high speeds when in the turf mode and Runs much better in 2x4 when going any faster than 35mph. The powerband is much smoother than my 600 and handles like it has power steering (due to the turf mode).

I was afraid of the "power loss feel" going from a twin 600 to a single 500cc, but That was laid to rest quickly. When I hit the throttle, it goes with out hesitation. It is no 800 but you said it, no one needs more than this. Especially for what we are going to be doing, trail riding. Like I said even with two people I could not tell a difference in handling or ride. The Turf mode another key to this machine.

The passenger seat is somewhat stiff, but the back seat driver has yet to complain. The X2 Performed well over the few ruts and rocky trails that we went on. I forgot, At times that I had another person on the quad with me, at other times it was hard as Teresa would remind me with a jab in the ribs or with a shriek of fear. It handled as if i was alone on the machine.

We did not have much loaded up on the machine for this ride, 1 gal of fuel, two 6pack coolers and miscallanoas tools. Oh and another gal of fuel that Doc thru on, there is alittle bit of room left in the bed after the passenger seat is up but not much. I pulled a u'ee on the road w/turf mode w/two people on board and slowly, not breaking loose the rear end to slide around, that would have been a three point turn or a jump up on the shoulder with ANY other quad. Some of these roads were just big enough for a single pickup and trailer to go down.

We are happy with the machine and can not wait to ride it more.
