Interesting concept.....ATV with a steering wheel.
Without digging into the specs though, my thoughts are that everything that makes a sxs different than an atv( longer, wider, heavier, betters suspension) is missing. Its a 500 Sportsman with a cage and steering wheel.

It's a ATV with a sit down seat and a roll cage - I see the wheel base is 61.5", my can am 2 up is 59" and the polaris 2 up is 57", so the length is very similar. I do not see how wide it is ?

It is intended to be an entry level machine for kids in my opinion. Assumed to be safer with a roll cage, seat belt, etc. It is not intended to compete with the larger SxS.

Machine for Kids? - well its cheaper than a standard S x S only $7500 to start, not the $13,000 to $17,000 and bet you can get away with only spending $3,000 in extras and not the $4,000 - $7,000 I see some of you spending on the Big RZR's

Width is 48", same as an ATV. Only problem is how do I lean my a$$ to one side if I think its gonna tip over? Can't stick a leg out either if its leaning. Starting to understand the need for the roll cage.

Put the engine and suspension off the scrambler on it and I think they just might have something.

If I was going to a SxS this would be my ride but it needs more motor. I wait until Can Am puts it's 1000 in one. WoooHooo!!!!!!!!!

The engine sounds to be less than a 400 cc. I would be interested in one if the motor was more. They should put the 570 engine in it. I like it for being lite and very maneuverable.

The engine is a 325cc ProStar mill. It is a lightning rod for its size. The speed and acceleration is on par with a Sportsman 400HO, which is powered by an old school 455cc single. Pro Star motors are built by the powersports division of SwissAuto. They are highly known for building high performance motorcycle racing engine components over in Europe. Polaris bought them out a few years ago in order to put their motors in the RZR 900/1000 to compete against the highly powerful Rotax Can Am engines.

Hmmm, not sure why you would buy one of those over a 570 RZR other than budget I guess. Be interesting to see how they do. Thought for Polaris would be to improve the quality of the products they already have before putting out new models but guess it's worked for them up to now.

Carver,
Get your Mom to buy a Polaris Sportsman Ace with her employee discount. We'll take turns riding it.

The employee discount is good, but in most cases its not much different than the end of the year clearance sales that Polaris offers. I'm agree with Wiley that Polaris really needs to work on the quality of these machines. They should not have to cost thousands of dollars to repair after just a few thousand miles of driving.
