Looks to me like the guy on the can am smoked the popo off the line and hit a bad set of ruts. Thats just a real good example of a real uneven pit to be honest.

The pit was terribly uneven ( built that way) Rocky and clay with deep holes. Good or bad? I don't know. Tiring absufrickenlutly. There was almost no difference performance wise in brand or mods with that pit, There was a fair bit of luck involved. I just wanted to post the new 850 getting dirty. The king(Unlimited) class were the only ones that could walk their bikes down the middle of this beast of a pit without to much struggle 6" lifts or better and 31 outlaws or 32 $ilverbacks and engine work. I'll post a vid but it's kinda dark this event went well into the night.....lol

They were dead even and the 850 looked like it lost traction. I'm sure with a real race, we will see which is faster. This is the first vid I have seen, thanks to ostacruiser. Too bad the pit ruined it. I doubt the CanAm was stock, but it also has bigger tires, right? What was on the Popo?

Nice! I have been waiting for POPO to come out with a contender in the big bore wars. I have a sage green 850 eps on order. I was going to get the stealth black but I realy like the sage green.

Actually they look like 26" Zillas...

The 28's look much much bigger than those.

Do they make a 26 inch zilla in a 14 inch wheel???? The 850 XP has to run 14's to clear the breaks. You might want to look into that. I am pretty sure they are 28's.

Looks like the guy on the Can Am doesn't know how to ride in a mud bog. The Polaris was impressive, but should have been much closer than that.

Thanks for the research. Those tires do look a bit small. I can not beleave they took a brand new, not snorkeled, only running 26's, into a mud bog pit haha. They sure do have some serious faith in the new XP.

.....along with clutching, exhaust, programmer, etc. I think we are looking at one sick bike combining outty comfort and handling with TCat power and adding EPS on top. Man, I see the potential in this thing already....

This bike could be #1 for best all around package and it's gonna beat both bikes in price as well. Go Polaris. My hat is tilted off to ya.

A fact about this race LOL. The guy riding the Can-Am just bought his machine the night before the race and had never even driven an atv before. And the pit was evil LOL. It didn't matter how much money U had into yer machine, if U couldn't ride or picked a bad line, U were done. Also our first event here. We will do a two day event next year, run lights to go all night and better set-up the pit. Ostacruiser, where's the vid of the 850 racing the stock Can-Am 800 with stock tires???? Poor old 850 got whooped on in that race bad. Just goes to prove that it worked how I wanted it to, it was a drivers race.
