Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
This time we have for the review two real masterpieces of ATV world.
Yes we both of them we can consider as ATVs, but in fact their range of use is absolutely
different!
This one is Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 High lifter edition – it’s a real mud racing
monster.
And this RZR RS One is perfect for cross country roads and rally races.
Today we are going to test these machines in proper conditions for each one.
But first of all lets take a short brake of this awesome riding and have a closer look
at these exciting peace of machinery.
I think if you are kind an atv lover as me looking at these monsters it is a pleasure
for you!
As I said these machines are designed for different range of use, but they have some
common characteristic.
Both machines are perfect for egoists!
They both have just one sit, so you can’t take a passenger with you, this machines is
only for you and your driving ambitions.
No you can’t carry much cargo here, but instead you’ll get the brightest emotions
of riding experience.
Lets start from a mud monster the king of gloomy swamps and tough offroading.
Its Polaris Sportsman 1000 Highlifter edition.
This version is made by both Polaris company and tuning studio Highlifter.
Looking at the quad it is absolutely clear – this machine is cut out for offroading
adventures.
Stout and aggressive design is quite impressive, but lets have a look at the specs.
This quad is equipped with Prostar engine 952cc
and 85 hp power.
The quad has a strengthened frame, power bumpers, the winch 1,5 tons power.
There is a radiator mounted on the hood.
The wheels are 29 inches Highlifter Outlaw.
Advanced suspension system prepared for the toughest offroading.
Impressive ground clearance 343 mm.
The dimensions of the quad are 223 cm lengh, 124 width and the weight is 441 kilos.
I think its enough of theory, let highlifter show what it can do.
Firstly few words about the engine.
There is no doubt its excessively powerful, one liter engine capacity is far from being
a toy.
By the way its very powerful, but the transmission is adjusted in favor of torque, not speed.
So the maximum speed is pretty standard about 90 kmh.
The suspension works quite well as you can see, but frankly speaking its rather tough,
you may see how the quad jumps on the logs.
But lets find some dirt!
And its absolutely clear that Highlifter is cut out for such conditions.
By the way all the tuning works are made very carefully by Highlifter studio.
Big wheels, defensive covers, radiator and all the other modifications are made with
high quality.
So it may be much more reasonable to buy this ready-made version of a quad, than buy it
in stock and have it impoved in some repair services.
And due to the big aggressive wheels and insane power Highlifter shows the best performance
in mud as you can see.
Also I liked all wheel drive system of this quad.
When you are moving on a dry ground there is a rear wheel drive.
As soon as rear wheels lose traction , the front ones automatically turn on.
It switches immediately, so the quad even doesn’t lose its speed.
Huge 29 inches wheels provide impressive ground clearance 343 mm.
Besides there are special curved suspension levers, that make the quad even more effective
on a rough terrain especially when moving in ruts.
Then we had a good opportunity to test the winch.
It helped us to remove the fallen tree from our way.
Its Polaris winch 1,5 tons power.
By the way the radiator tuning is also well considered.
Hot air is divided into two streams and pass a rider without heating him.
It so useful feature on hot summer days.
The radiator itself is thoroughly covered and doesn’t get soiled even on the toughest
offroading!
Meantime we removed the tree so lets move on.
There are two variants of overcoming mud obstacles.
You may accelerate high speed before the puddle and try to get through it with the help of
inertia.
The other way is to slowly move through the dirt not allowing the wheels to lose traction.
Highlifter is able to do the both.
Its engine is very torky, so you don’t need to rotate it very fast when moving through
the mud.
It can move slow and sure, may be its not so showy but very efficiency.
What a beautiful color for a quad, isn’t it?
But lets move to the next offroading monster.
Meet Polaris RZR RS1!
It’s a single seat machine is perfect for a selfish drivers!
This vehicle may be used just for fun but it is designed to take part in serious racing
competitions!
There is no passenger seat, the only one for a driver is in the middle of the body.
Such a solution provides the best weight distribution.
And this feature does a lot of good if you take part in some sport competitions.
The vehicle is equipped with ProStar engine 1 liter capacity and 110 hp power.
The suspension system is one of the most effective- its equipped with Walker-Evans Needle shocks
absorbers.
The suspension travel is 406 mm at the front, and 457 from dehind.
The lengh of the vehicle is 2845mm, the width is 1626, and the weight is 600 kilos.
The lacking of the passenger seat results into much more comfortable room for the driver.
There is even a double brake pedal for a really pro riders.
Generally speaking the exterior looks quite unusually, it’s a matter of taste but to
my mind it looks slightly awkwardly.
Well guys its high time to see what this machine can do in practice, lets go!
Unlike Highlifter this model is cut out for sport racing and riding on high speed.
Well in fact also you may go in dirt on the vehicle.
It has all wheel drive and light weight, all that is necessary for offroading.
As I said due to the seat in the middle it has a perfect balance, so it is much easier
to maneuver on this machine on high speed.
But who can buy such quad?
I think first of all it is for pro riders and sportsmen, but not for everyday use.
On the other hand, if you want to get the maximum fun and enjoy the riding, this vehicle
may be suitable for you.
In other words it is absolutely not practical, it is just a big toy for big boys.
There is another reason, why Polaris made such a model.
In fact there are many quads with single seat, and they are quite popular.
But all the Side by side ATVs had two and more seats.
So they decided to make so to speak single seat vehicle in side-by-side body, and the
result is quite successful I think.
In fact its well known rzr, but without passanger and with lower price!
Besides I should mention the awesome susoension.
Walker-Evans Needle shocks work magnificently and allow to ride on high speed even on a
rough terrain.
We see the same logs where Highlifter seriously jumped, but Rs1 even didn’t notice any roughness.
But speaking about the jumps…
And its high time to speak about the prices!
Sportsman XP1000 Highlifter edition costs about 12 thousands dollars and Rzr Rs one
costs about 13 000.
