1 Year Later - Polaris Sportsman 1000 High Lifter 

Honda’s are my go to utility/ mud bike . Polaris are my go to for speed and trails 07 rancher 420 . Lots of upgrades 05 predator 500 Troy lee edition . Stock My babies .

I ride a 2021 Polaris XP sportsman 1000 high lifter . Ghost grey and orange. Aka the beast

Hey love your videos (In a weird way😘). I still like my Honda’s I think Polaris has best 4x4 engagement, cam am has the power, Honda don’t make enough power to break as much but great bikes nonetheless. And I go through some shit with my pioneer 500

Badass ride man!! #1 thing I'd do Is make that bitch taller. Otherwise I was all smiles riding it when I did! Definitely love the gearing and 4wd over the CanAm products from factory.

shits and gits... LOVE IT! I love mine too!

I have a Yamaha 350 Bruin I want a Polaris 1000 Hl but one day

05 polaris sportsman 700 with a lot of upgrades. Gonna eventually get the highlifter 850 or 1000

Hey man, love that HL and i watch all your vids. I have the 570 touring and love the extra length. Im slowly turning it into a mud bike but i also have a King Quad 700 and it seems to be able to take more of a beating than the 570 so its my go to for going deep. Then we have the RZR S4 1000 which im keeping stock to just cruise with the family.

I ride a 2019 outlander 1000 xmr and you are actually right! You will break shyt and if you aren’t, then you are definitely not riding it right!! Lol love the videos man...keep em up

Great video brother. Can you give me the Rzr diff part number?

As long as you like it that's all that matters I love my pioneer end result is they play in the mud,Mark

Went from a 2018 Rubicon deluxe to 2021 polaris 850 highlifter love it

This guy makes me laugh

Man that was a damn good review bro and you had me in rolling when you was talking about machines breaking and it’s the truth. I’m fixing the 850 up one part at a time still got to get my pinion plate and clutch kit. Great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Had my xmr but the fucking Bill's catch up and I lose her. She was a bad bitch too. She was a 100. She fuckn ripped. Kiss her everyday

Good info Brother!

Those grab bars on your handlebars were originally big on snowmobiles. The bar allowed you to sideways on mountains because you could throw your machine over. Eventually they also introduced the “finger throttle which is a second throttle that mounts under your left handle and allows you to lean far far left using your left hand to operate the throttle and the right hand to hold onto the bar. Ill see if i can find the kit I’m talking about and send it to ya on FB.

Love the odi hand grips. I have 2 sets on the way now. I ride a 2012 can am outlander 1000xt and now have a 2015 800xmr I just rebuilt that will be ridden on my channel also now. Gonna ride them hard

How Is the highlifter on the trails in woods riding?

I have a Can Am Renegade XMR1000 and hate it. It runs hot AF, steering is shit and ride sucks. I got a Polaris Scrambler 1000 for the wife and I love that thing. Having 2 Polaris and this Renegade I can say I love the look of the Can Ams but am definitely going back to Polaris. I'm just waiting for them to freshen up the HL body.

When are u gonna fix the ranger?

Love my 2016 850 highlifter other than sinking it in some deep mud not one problem out of it Just put a door exhaust and stage one tuner thing is a beast..🤙🏻💪🏻😁😎

Riding an 06 kingquad, with about 20k km (12500mi). Looking to upgrade to a HL. thanks for the super honest video. Id ask how it is in snow.. but judging by the accent you wouldn't know hahah

Well reviewed! If you're going over 55MPH then well...your're not mudding. You're racing. I just finally snapped my mud bar on mine!! Fat ass snapped it a good on coming out of a mud hole when doing a ride up in Canada. lol. Mid review is why I went with building my own from the stock 1000 over going HL. Cost a little more money in the long run but it's well worth it in my opinion. I thought for sure the Scrambler was going to be the big release! However...it was not. Though that is now my next build. Scrambler 1000S Mud edition! F$ck it. Fucking killed me with the let me borrow it for a day...I will fucking break it. lol.

Man awesome review! Clean and cut. I BIG TIME agree with the no temp option on the speedometer and DEFINITELY them still coming out with the highlifter platform on the old style Sportsman. Like c’mon mayne. 2009 was 11 years ago. Upgrade the body style for the highlifter, add the rectangle digital speedometer with temp reading instead of the needle gauge and by God throw some highlifter love on the Scrambler line!!! Thanks for the content, love the videos!!! Oh and btw. 2013 Polaris Sportsman 800, 2” lift, 1.5” spacers, outlaw 2s, radiator relocate, light whips and a kickass igloo holding some cold beer!

i need to ask what was addd to your bike at this time

Yamaha wolverine x2, great woods machine. I had a sportsman 570 and had a lot of fun on it. But when i got with my wife, i wanted something safer for her to ride with me(southeast ohio, a lot of gnarly hills). Almost went with a outlander 1000 2up, but when went with a sxs for all my riding buddies were all going to buggies and it ended up being $1200 cheaper lol.

Great review and I also have a Ranger crew and I can testify the quads are for shore fun to ride I get on my sons 100 HL any chance I get and have fun. I have the same set up as you meaning a ranger crew just has a 3" lift and my sons 100 HL sportsman we ride pretty much anytime we can love the vids man keep doing what you do brother and hopefully one of these days we will see you on a trail.

I ride a can am outty XMR 1000r. It’s been overall a pretty fun ride. Had it’s fair share of issues though. Some poor heat shielding from factory and a blown rear diff have been the main issues so far. Had it for two years though and ride it pretty hard so can’t complain I guess. The highlifter like yours was definitely a contender when I made the purchase! Don’t regret my decision though. Nice bike!

Definitely a temp gauge for a mud bike! Need to add one to my 850 XP. Lucky 7 lights look great!!

I was always team Polaris until I got on an xmr lmao. 6 days later I had my own

I ride polaris bro and i ride at 10k alot and i always watch your videos man would love to ride with you man!! Lmk if and when I'll be there

Nice unit! Just picked up a 2020 1000 xp trail and loving it so far! The HL is badass makes me want one!

I ride 19 sportsman 1000xp highlifter edition love the bike. Jus wondering how u like the exhaust u installed cus im wanting something with deep throaty tone. Not really loud jus deep. Any suggestions? Oh yeh cool videos.

i ride a 2019 Polaris sportsman hightlifter new to a ATV this size so far seems great still less than 25 hours so so breaking it in b4 going to a park with it do you know if you can get a mount to hunt with this ATV the power lines are so bad a 4x4 pickup can not go down them thanks

I been thinking and debating on a Polaris sportsman 850 high lifter or a 1000 high lifter still debating but me being part time still at my job in Florida I might go to the 850

Do you get more water and Mudd on the radiator and fans with that Rouge radiator cover?

I have to take a lot off plastics to just Chang my battery and all the other things that have messed up I had to go basically to the middle of the bike almost

Do you have much problem with the tiger tail bottoming out or hanging up on ruts. I was looking into Geri g one from when I first saw yours

I ride a 2014 Honda rancher 420 it don’t got a lot of power but it sure goes threw sum mud

I have a 2015 Honda rubicon auto power steering. And a 2016 Polaris ranger xp 900 HO. Both have been very good to me. Just normal maintenance and ride.

What year RZR diff did you purchase

Do you know where the positive accessory wires on these bikes? Adding hand warmers but can't seem to find the ones that are documented for regular sportsman.

I'm fixing to get back into atvs and I'm looking at the sportsman for my wife and the highlifter 1000, any good or bad advice?

love your videos man, I got the same bike and love it to death. hope to see you at hogwaller once all this shutdown crap is over with 🤙

I'm in the market for a mud ready bike, I'm between this and the can am xmr...how have the axels held up?

850 highlifter

2020 Polaris sportsman 850 highlifter. This is an absolute beat man. Love your videos. I ride in Florida too

I personally think that the old body style is the better looking then the new one

Ill trade all the components for a stock sportsman radiator there a little different.

16 850 HIGHLIFTER 06 700 RAPTOR ALSO

Where did you get the front diff from ? Just got a highlifter 1000 in December and blew mine already smh

Awesome video man I ride 17 renegade xmr 570 with a 860 motor

Yes I wish Polaris would make a longer wheel base Highlifter 1000 or 850 and that they also make a EPS 850 Highlifter . I would go trade my Sportsman XP 1000 for a long wheel base 1000 Highlifter or a long wheel base 850 if it had EPS has well.

I love my 1k HL!!! great video and the most honest review on the tube!! Awesome job bud!

The only thing I don't like is its belt driven

I’m trying to decide between this and the can am xmr 1000 now gonna get one of them in a month or 2 i have driven the 850 hL and loved it except for no power steering also wondering what the best first modifications are to the popo

What about the gse exhaust

Buddy has one and nothing but trouble, constantly in the shop

Oooooooo. So your selling g it to me for 5$

whats that winch on the back called

💪🏾💪🏾

I reallly want a scrambler 850 but couple dudes I know have rennys and they always keep telling me to buy a can am instead of a Polaris, how well has this machine done compared to a xmr?

What are the tire sizes on that. I have an 850 sp but love the mud and building a proper machine.

Can you do a video on those lights, night and day ?love the look hard to install? Brand?

I ride a 2000 Yamaha 660 and love it but it is starting to have engine issues.

I have a 19 highlifter sportsman 1000 all it does is break no matter how nice you ride it its been an absolute lemon since day one would not recomend i hate polaris someone fight me on this

Hey man what make are those headlights and can you send a link to where i can get a set

Quote of the year “it shits and gets” 😂😂

Gotta sportsman 450 gonna get it snorkled soon!

I Have A Yamaha Big Bear 350 That’s Definitely Pretty Bad Ass & I Also Have a Honda Foreman 450 Both Bikes Are 4Wheel Drive

They dont put temp gauge because they dont want you to see how hot it will run

Nice video !

It really rides smooth with the suspension all the way up. I can’t notice a difference in ride quality on my 850 HL

I ride a Yamaha grizzly 660

How are the ammo boxes held down and are they water proof?

Great review! I've always liked the Sportsman ATVs. The HL edition 1k is badass for sure! I miss my 2009 Brute Force 750 it was lifted and snorkeled. I have a 2014 Teryx 800 now. It's a tank and reliable as hell but you are right! You will have more fun on an ATV than UTV! Nothing like water wheelies and the freedom of more trail opportunities and just being able to throw it in the back of your truck and head out! I've been waiting to get the new Kawi KRX but going back to the ATV life is tempting! See ya on the trails!

what power steering kit did you go with?

What about the ges exhaust

What does low gear top out at and high gear?

I got the same bike and I love it to lots of power.

This tires scare me what are those

I'm thinking about getting a 1000 myself

Change**

Why do you call it a bike it’s a four wheeler

Hell good stuff man i ride 2017 highlifter ranger. I enjoy your videos

How does it ride with those tires? I've heard those machines are dogs.
