2018 Arctic Cat MudPro 700 Limited vs. Can-Am Outlander X MR 650: By the Numbers
What kid didn’t grow up loving to play in the mud? For some of us, we never outgrow that desire to mix water and dirt together into some slimy goo and find a way to bring big smiles. Some ATV riders find mud on the trail and go around it. Others go through it, but […] more
Break Failure on Rental
We rented a polaris rzr 1000 from a small shop in CO. We drove it up a mountain and it took about 20 mins. Stopped for about 15 mins at the summit and then started to drive down. About 10-15 mins into going down the mountain, we came around a turn to a straightaway and the breaks wouldn't engage and we couldn't slow down. We had to avoid a car and a motorbike so we swerved to the side up the mountain rocks, came back down to the dirt road and flipped. It turned out to the best thing because otherwise I don't think we could have stopped and we all got out okay.
The reason I'm posting here is because I don't have any technical understanding of what could have happened to make the breaks fail that quickly. The rental owner claims that he doesn't doubt that the breaks were not working when we crashed, but he says that they overheated and therefore we are liable. It seems ridiculous on our end considering how close we were to falling off the side of the mountain.
Would appreciate any input or advice. Thank you

Looking for rear storage for a 2010 Polaris Sportsman Touring
All I can find is a soft zippered bag.
I would like a wrap around hard plastic cargo that would store two helmets.
Has anyone else figured out what to buy and how hard is it to put on aftermarket cargo boxes? Thanks!

plow recomendations
Hi guys! new here, so just a quick question, I am buying a 2014 Sportsman 570 with EPS and will be needing to install a plow before winter. So my question is what are you recommendations for a plow that will be easy to use and withstand the winters on Michigan. I will be adding a winch for the plow. Is the Polaris Glacier system the best or is there something else better out there? Thanks in advance! Dave
WTB Sportsman XP Primary
If anyone has upgraded their stock primary to aftermarket I'd be interested in the stock. Looking for clutches off the 850/1k XP machines with EBS. Local dealer couldnt get my spider apart and (literally) torched the thing...still not apart and nylon bushings are junk now.
12×5.5 rim for 11″ wide tire?
So I seen a great deal, bought these rims, I even tried one on the front. I didn't realize that the rear wheels on my Polaris 570 ,2014 were 8" wide. I have 27x11x12 maxis zillas on my stock rear wheel. Are these 12 x 5.5, 12 x 5 rims good for anything?

2016 xmr 1000 clutch springs
I am thinking of changing the springs in my clutch Just needing some input from people that have done it
Looking at epi primary and secondary springs. What do you recommend. Running stock tires Just want more torque to make it easier to wheelie mostly in water. Yes I know it's a longer framed wheeler Not looking to get into that debate
Just asking what is too much of a change and what is just right Maybe just state what pound spring works best. Thanks
