What else will you surprise the fastidious buyer, to whom the market of off-road motorcycles on a silver platter with a blue border presents everything that he wants? Manufacturing companies have to increasingly select the keys to the soul (and to be honest - to the wallet) thirsty for great fun. To develop new models is long and expensive, and will they be successful?.. This is always an open question. And therefore, manufacturers are increasingly resorting to a proven method - improve the components and parts of existing models.

The American company Polaris went along such a path, developing utility utility ATVs of the 2007 model year. Here are your impressions of the two most sophisticated representatives of the popular Sportsman family - the latest X2 800 EFI, built on the basis of last year's Sportsman X2 500 EFI, and the updated 800 EFI. Both are in the Deluxe configuration, which means that the standard equipment is ennobled by EBS and ADC braking systems, a Polaris winch with a pulling force of 1334 kg, rear working lights and alloy aluminum wheels.

"BALLAST" - NOT IN GRAND

“Fi, what kind of plastic?.. And the transmission mode selector!” He, lanky, absurd, as if copied from the gearshift lever of our simple GAZ-66 *,”I exuded taunts, considering a new product of American engineering. And then he yelled himself: “The main thing in a utilitarian ATV is the functionality of the design, and designer refinements only increase the price of an already expensive quad”.

A slippery clay path snaking between trees snaked down a slope and got lost in centuries-old pine trees. The alumina soaked after the rain under the wheels and the ruts knee-deep seemed to hint: in case of an unsuccessful maneuver, you will dig into one of the many trees on the side of the road. Fine! Excellent conditions for checking the quadra for stability!”Left turn, move forward and left - and the gas! Large double Sportsman X2 800 EFI obediently went into a skid.

In order to check the stiffness of the chassis and suspension, I began to cross deep ruts filled with water at different angles. Sportsman on top: not a jot of rush to get out of control. Okay, there is still a ford with steep, slippery shores ahead. Without hesitation, "dived" into the fast stream. The ford is not too deep - the water barely covered the wheels of the ATV. Having plenty of fun, he began to get out to the shore. Its steep clay edge did not look too welcoming. Front desk, balance - and quad, as if not noticing the steepness of the rise and poor traction, confidently crawled out to land. The engine is awesome, of course! A pair of its V-shaped cylinders equipped with liquid cooling is fed by an electronic fuel injection system that automatically adjusts the quality of the fuel mixture depending on altitude (up to 3050 m) and ambient temperature (from –31.7 to + 48.9 ° C). The system provides the motor evenly powerful

traction over the entire rev range.

Permanent, exhaustively complete control - in a nutshell, you can describe the behavior of the Sportsman X2 800 EFI on the roads. But this is if alone, but the quad is still double. Having unfolded the passenger seat (the driver’s back, the back of the driver’s back, plays the role of a cushion, and the “second number” back rests, an exact copy of the driver’s seat back is pulled out of the luggage compartment), he began to look for a candidate for the role of ballast. The passenger, or rather the passenger, was found immediately. Having decided to show off his piloting skills, he did not begin to trifle and again popped into the ford. By that time, journalistic colleagues, intoxicated by their own daring, managed to dig at the entrance to the water, which was already abrupt, with ruts that were hardly inferior to tractor depths. “Now we’ll sit on our belly,” a belated thought flickered. But the quadra retained the grip of the wheels with the ground. This is aided by long-travel suspensions (208 mm - front and 216 mm - rear) and high ground clearance (280 mm). When the track became completely deep, X2 slipped on the belly along the slope and plopped into the water. Riding on this ATV there is no need to be afraid of damaging its vital organs if you cling to a mound with a “belly” - its designers carefully covered it with a carapace of durable guards.
