AWD drifting this morning on my way to work. Let off the gas and the compression was enough to initiate the drift in the snow. It's 20 degrees here in Oregon...

It's because you're still on summer tires.

Love Polaris ATVs! Last one I had was a Polaris Scrambler 400.

OMG was it fast and fun as long as you didn't have anything too technical. I once did a measured highway mile in just under a minute.

The best thing about it was the PVT transmission had an override on reverse so that it would go as fast backwards as forwards.

The no engine breaking was an issue on steep downhills though. I made it to the bottom more than once before the bike did.

Yes! It works awesome! I can stand underneath it. Cost about $120 to build. Mostly in the huge 44" x 42" Plexi window.

I love Polaris! great machines. My buddy has a 2002 scrambler. I have put quite a few miles on it. Really fun!

My bike is a 2014 570 sportsman.
The Prostar engine it has they also put in the base RZR, so it has plenty of power. I have been 70mph on it, ran out of road before power. I am pretty sure it would top out near 80mph...
