Hey guys, my sportsman in my sig I just sold. Been looking at a 850 HL edition. Dealer has a real good price on a 2016. I have a few questions though…..obviously where we ride it’s smooth open trails with creek crossings, logging style roads and some small inclines to get where the mud holes and fun stuff is. How are these doing for trail riding? No rocks. But unfortunately I have to do some trail riding to get where we wanna go. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break and ride off into the woods and venture away from the mud. If there is mud though, we are playing in it! Just curious if they suck on the trail to where I’d regret it?

Obviously the 850 doesn’t have power steering but Im ok with that as my 850XP doesn’t/didn’t and didn’t bother me.

Yes…I’ll be honest. I have looked at the XMR 850/1000 outlanders too. But I’d like to stay with Polaris…..the trail riding capabilities is my only concern. I’ve seen some XMR’s on the trails riding fine, but no sportsman highlifter models so I have no experience with my eyes so I’m asking you guys! Thanks.
