It's not a sxs , it must be a 1x1.Neat concept but I agree, it needs more motor.

The review from Roseau, MN is that it is very underpowered. Great idea from Polaris, but why put a small motor in it!

Carver,
Roseau, MN is where they make the Sportsman Ace? But, but, but Polaris calls it White Lightning?

The white lighting is a special paint job through Polaris. I'm not sure if its a package deal that includes other accessories. The white lighting can be put on many different models.
ACE should be called, "ACE IN THE HOLE", because it will not have power to get out. : )

Seems like a logical step up between a rzr 170 and a high performance sxs for kids in the 10-15 age range. I wouldn't be shocked if I got one or similar for my son when he is older.

Remember a few years ago everybody laughed at the 570 when it was put in the RZR.... It will hang with an 800 all day long. 32HP out of 325cc is impressive, plus its RPM peaks out well past 8500 rpm. Yeah it won't be a Can Am 800/1000. But the numbers are very impressive for a little engine.

I've been watching a lot of video's on this machine and although it's not made for racing it will reach speeds up to 40 or 50 mph and for trail riding how much do you need. I am starting to really like the idea and would like to hear durability reports. Polaris always has some kind of major issue with anything new they put out. If I was going to something with a steering wheel this would be it.

I went and looked at one of these today, it's a nice machine for sure. I feel in love with it but the first sale guy was very cool to deal with but he got busy and passed me on to someone else who is a true idiot. The best deal he could give me was to trade in my atv and $7100 to purchase the Ace. I told him he was out of his damn mind. Oh yeah, this was " Ride Now Power Sports in Concord. Nope I will not be going back unless I get a good reply to my email I sent them. Once again this is a cool ride for sure.

Ridersville cycle in Berkley springs is pretty tough to beat on prices for polaris, can am, ktm, kawasaki. give them a call. don't know what they offer for trade since I never traded but they price the new stuff right.

Me and Vivian went out and when I got home I had received an email from head of sales, and then one from the dealer manager. They both were very apologetic and thought what I was wanting to do was very doable. The manager is suppose to call me Monday. Here is the email from the General Manager.
Hello Lonnie,
I was forwarded an email you had sent to my internet department. I am so sorry that your experience was not what it should have been. We definitely did not live up to our expectations. So I do apologize for this. I wish I was aware of this while you were in the store. I appreciate your kind words you gave I regards to Bo as well as you making the trip to come and visit my dealership. I would like the opportunity to try and fix the issues you experienced. What is the target I need to try to achieve with your trade? Once again, I am sorry - I truly believe that customer service is an attitude, not a department, and today we did not live up to that.
Steve Kolicko General Manager
Here is another one
Today at 4:24 AM
Lonnie -
The offer you made is not unreasonable. The one that is on the floor currently has upgraded Polaris wheels and tires. If I were to remove them, I think I could make that work for you with your trade. If you don't mind, let me know and I will forward this to my finance manager who is working today. I would like for him to call you and see if we can work everything out over the phone. This way the next time you come down, all you will need to do is ride away with your new ACE. Let me know what the best # to call you at would be. Thank you again for all your past business.
The last one
Enjoy the beautiful day riding. I'll have them call you tomorrow. We will figure out how to make it work for you.

So far they just do not want to come to my price. Right now they have said my CanAm plus $5600. They really don't want my CanAm I think. Allens is still sitting there with a sticker of $8890. We'll just wait and see. It's a cool ride but I still love my Getto Crusier.

I may have looked at the tag wrong but I do know it was over $8000 and they only want to give me like $3500 for mine if you do the math.
