The Best All-Around ATV? Polaris Sportsman XP1000 In-Depth Review

This IS the best quad I've ever ridden. I love this thing and it will go anywhere!! Can't get enough!

I have the 1000s. After riding Honda's and Kawasaki's for years I can say it's the fastest, most plush, and stable atv I've ever had. No reliability issues as of yet. My aging spine and hip remind me every time I ride how much I love it!

Great video ❤❤❤I had a chance a week ago to ride on a xp1000 with a ride command on it.I love the response and the front and rear view. It was a 2023 model. The owner was picking it up from the dealership.

Nice video keep up the good work fella

Just picked up a 2023 sportsman xp 1000 with ride command and we LOVE it....

Loved this review! And your honesty about its it’s too much. I’ve watched a few different resin this machine and they all talked about how awesome it is but you gave the honest warning on if it could be too much. Thanks!

👏👏Good vid ....Have a good day everybody ✌️

I wouldn't get to worked up over the hitch size. Chances are the hitch from your truck may have the wrong drop for use on the quad. But I get your point.

I have the Sportsman XP1000S and I get that bigger hitch receiver, more suspension travel as well as wider and longer stance

Those cam preload adjusters on the front shocks were set to full soft in defence of the soft/bottoming suspension comment Steve. Not sure where the rear were set at. Awesome, powerful machine for sure. Also not sure why YouTube but numbers after my username…..

FYI the plug behind the rubber Polaris cap is a plug for a battery tender not accessories.

Another great video! Have you reviewed the Sportsman XP-1000 "S" model yet? That will give you that additional travel that you want ;)

I have been a life long Suzuki man but I am giving the xp 1000 ride command serious consideration.

1000S will be my second Quad

Hahaha! Awesome "post credit" scene!

Just got a 1000xp. Love the quad, but shortly after i got it, the screen started flickering bad. It was dried grease in the ignition switch. Then the plastic dipstick was broken off, and the piece is still in there. Was told at the dealership that its common, and just leave it.

Skip the scrambler and just buy the sportsman 1000S. You'll thank me later. Best machine built. And once you own one you'll see exactly what I mean.

I got this quad ride command edition I don’t like that it only comes in one colour and performance mode is cool I had it up 131 km

Great video TK! I always wonder what the expected reliable life of these things is, in terms of either mileage on the odometer or hours of use. A modern car should get you to about 200k kms/ 120k miles without much in the way of major repairs. What's the equivalent on ATVs? Do count the duty cycle in distance like for cars, or operating hours, like heavy machinery? This, like a lot of "performance" vehicles looks great.. when it's new. You don't see many high mileage performance cars though. Is this ATV in it for the long run, or is it just a rich man's disposable toy? Thanks for the interesting and informative video!

My 2019 seemed to always have something weird come lose, belt problems, front diff bolts backed out. My 850 was a Cadillac like my 94 400. But it also had weird stuff brake on it. Went back to Kawasaki and Yamaha.
