#SCRAMBLER 1000 POLARIS FULL#
However, there is also a new happy button on the dash of the Scrambler that offers two power settings: it is “so fast” and “yee-haw”! Honestly, we kept the Scrambler in full power mode, because the lower power mode didn’t seem to change much of the engine characteristics. The engine didn’t receive any changes for this model aside from a centrally mounted exhaust system. Electronic fuel-injection fuels this gas guzzler from a 5.25-gallon tank. The ProStar 952cc single-overhead-camshaft, four-stroke engine is a parallel twin-cylinder design. We aren’t quite sure what fuels the human need for glorious power and speed, but Polaris doesn’t disappoint in that department.
The automatic CV transmission has five gears: forward high and low, neutral, reverse, and park. That means more weight, and it all adversely affects steering, but you wouldn’t be able to tell if you swung a leg over this beast. The new Duro Power Grip II tires are 27 inches tall, which is an inch larger than in previous years. The Scrambler’s newly gained width means it has heavier suspension components, and the wheels are positioned further away from the center of the ATV. Polaris claims that they designed out any wheel scrub as the suspension travels through its stroke, along with eliminating bumpsteer through their ProSteer design.Įlectronic power steering is a standard feature on this machine, and it needs it. We aren’t aware that the new 12-inch aluminum wheels have more offset than previous years, which means the new width is solely based on longer suspension arms. Polaris’ Scrambler 850 sits at 48.6 inches in width, while the new S is 55 inches wide.
#SCRAMBLER 1000 POLARIS PRO#
This Polaris comes with an 11-inch Pro Armor LED light bar that puts out 1,890 lumens. They also have rebound and spring preload adjustability with a dual-rate coil design and crossover rings. The shocks are high- and low-speed compression adjustment. Walker Evans shocks come on many different Polaris models, but those on the XP 1000 S are impressive. Both the front and rear systems come with a stabilizer/sway bar to improve performance. The rear suspension has 14 inches of mind-blowing travel from newly designed dual A-arms. To put that into perspective, the Scrambler 850 has 9 inches of travel. The front A-arms are now high clearance and arched with 12.5 inches of travel.
