Does anyone really feel that the 850 xp isn't powerful enough? These machines are already heavy enough. What could you possibly need more power for on a ATV. Forget about the pissing contest with CanAm. More power doesn't make for a more competent ATV. Not having oil in the air box is more important.

I agree! my 2011 850 has enough power I sure don't need the 2012 HO! I'm 46 yrs old and I would like to live a few more years!!! No oil as of yet but I still breaking the machine in. When and if I do get oil in the air box I'm going to take the PVC felt filter out and leave it out.

You can never have too much power...........When I drag my 1000 lb. bull elk out of a canyon the more power the better.

I decided since Can Am went with the 976cc and made the machine more Polaris like in ride, storage, anti dive and did one up in ps with a adjustable unit, I would try the Can AM Outlander 1000xt. Still happy with my Polaris but being in the buying mood Polaris did not come through. I pick my new Can Am next week. Still will have the popo and Brute but the Can Am will be getting my attention. Have to give Polaris props, Can Am copied a lot of what Polaris did good to make a more appealing machine.
