Biggest problem I see?  Whats up with a higher low range?  Kind of defeats the purpose, no?  I don't put my 500 in Low to go 39 MPH, I put it in low to pull tires and get things done.

I agree, geuss we'll just have to ride one to really see. With 70hp i think she will still have plenty.

And there it is.......yep looks like a parallel, could it be possible to have an opposite stroke to make it sound like a v-twin maybe.

Don't know if it's true, but I heard 31's will fit with minor fender trimming.  Don't know for sure though.

I'd be surprised if it's bug free, but I believe this will be one of the least buggy releases Polaris has had.  Hope I don't eat my words.

Looks like the largest bighorn there was on the maxis website was the 26/9/14 and 26/11/14, Maxis did not have the 2.0s listed so I am not sure if they offer a 27" in that new BH or not.

If it's putting out 70 HP, it shouldn't matter if it's V, Parallel or single... we are getting the power regardless, right?

Very true, 70 ponies under your seat feels awesome!  Had to drop a bunch of money into mine to get it that high, sky is the limit with the new motor hopefully.

Status: offline 		So the 850 is a ~15 HP jump from PoPo's previous top HP model?  I'm sure those 800's didn't have any trouble with 29.5's, so maybe higher gearing will be made up by 15 extra horses chugging.

We have also yet to see how effecient the new transmission is, if at all, so that could also play a role in the "tire turning" aspect... a big factor in any of my future ATV purchases.

In the racing world it helps.

Scott said they have some sort of slip clutch like the Thundercats, so you don't break axles as much.
