rebelbanshee2 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 should be good for trail riding, but its wieght and body roll will keep it from any serious riding. I wouldnt buy it, but im sure alot of people will. Im not sure what the rice burner comment is..Polaris is Minnisota based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I like the idea behind it, by the looks of it, it is aimed at trail/woods riding. Good to see them innovating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The IRS thing is kinda cool. I've thought about how to make an ATV IRS, but there's alot to it, plus the added weight etc.... Might make for a nice trail bike, but I dunno. I don't ride trails. I don't think it would work for the type of riding I like. And from the front it reminds me of Skeletor from the old He Man cartoon. Or maybe Zorak from Space Ghost. Paint that fucker green and its Zorak.

Gargamel Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 ...... The Rice Burner weighs like 425 pounds, what are your oipinions on this peice. 401179[/snapback] rice burner? if anything is a rice burner its the yamahas, hondas, suzukis and kawis.. polaris is american made 401202[/snapback] It is in fact a "rice burner" even though the bike is American based the motor is made by Fuji Motors of Japan. But who cares we all ride Yamaha!!!! I think it looks like it will be a killer trail bike. I know there are some rocky areas my straight axle gets stuck on that the extra clearance would be great. But I to wont say anything negative about it till I ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbanshee Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 i dont know i just think it looks like a big bug..the independant rear suspension..that idea i like, but now its gonna be a pain in the ass if you break something in the rear end..who knows..i havnt riden it or seen more than a picture of it..it might turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to quads...or it might be the absolute worst bike ever built.. but what do i know im a banshee freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Or maybe Zorak from Space Ghost. Paint that fucker green and its Zorak. 401221[/snapback] Dude I think you're right hahaha!! I saw the Outlaw online the other day, it does look like it's geared towards woods/trails and that extra ground clearance damn sure won't hurt there, along with the IRS for the really nasty stuff. I bet it's competitive in GNCC's, but that's gonna be a trial of fire... It's a cool design but I prefer a simple solid axle and straight chain drive; lighter, less shit to break, etc. Plus I REALLY don't need one more shock to worry about heh.

Paint that fucker green and its Zorak. 401221[/snapback] IRS is a wierd thing. but im with stan, i think for high speed running, ie dunes, then the swingarm would be waaaay better. now your pathfinder armada, that suspension prob rides like a cadillac. but i dont see it performing as well as a swinger. not to mention the inherent body roll. if they wanted to do something really trick theyd run trailing arms. thats the best of both worlds. do you mean like this guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
