Polaris Scrambler 500

I bought my 01` Scrambler new in Dec. 01`. It`s the best, I`ve owned many different atvs and nothing compares to it. There is no other sport bike like it. I run with many guys who have Banshees, Warriors, z400, 400ex, 660 Raptor and many more. Some may be faster, but when they get stuck in a piss puddle all I`ve got to do is flip it in 4X4. I ride weekly on various terrain, I do not baby my bike but I do take care of it and I`ve had no problems with it. It is completely capable of running fully submerged(over the handlebars) in water momentarily, but it takes the belt a few minutes to dry out if you hit water at high speeds. Stock these bikes only run a little over ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Polaris 500 Sportsman New in 2000 and fell in love with the Scrambler riding with a friend in West Virginia in 2004. The 2005 Scrambler 500 4x4 that I purchased has been really great for trail riding and around the cabin offroading. I put on a K&N Filter and noticed a slight gain as well as all Moose Shielding and a D&G front bumper. The only thing I would caution people on is be ready to get splashed with mudd and if you are running on road in between trails, this thing will Fly 66MPH, I have a warning ticket to prove it! I run 93Ultra in mine and add the octane boost to my 5Gal gas can. I am 6'4" 250lbs and this is the only bike that really lets ...  Read the complete review

I own a 2007 Polaris Scrambler , EU Version. This was bought after much research as to which was the right Quad for me. I wanted trail orienated machine that was capable of giving a reasnoble performance on roads as well. The scrambler is a big bike, a full size frame with a sports body kit, it very comfortable and positive to drive and leaves you feeling very much in control both on and off road. Performance off-road is awsome, the AWD (4 wheel auto engaging drive) , kicks in when needed and so far has made the bike unstoppable. Mud, ruts etc are easy to negotiate. It also has great ground clearence. Trails that where challenging on my ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought a 2001 Scrambler 500 2x4. Read the reviews by many that said it wasn't a true sport machine (such as Z400, Ex400) and would never win a race with it, much less even enter. While that is true, I find it a great machine for my wife and myself. I don't race as those days have left me years ago. It is fun to drive (doesn't have the utility feel and handling) and I have even gotten my wife interested in the ATV thing. She doesn't like to shift, do the clutch, etc., so the Polaris 500 is just the ticket. I was concerned about the 2 wheel drive as I live in a mountain state (Utah) but I have found it to be reliable in the mud and going ...  Read the complete review

I like the quad ok. It has decent power. The single brake lever system works much better than I expected. The awd system is awsome. Power is pretty good. Rear suspension is ok. There are a few things I hate. Heavy! Chain drive in the rear, hate it. Brake lever to close to the handlebars, must use all your fingers or they will get smashed, no two finger braking here and lever not replacable with anything else. Hard to work on. Front suspension is a little ...  Read the complete review
