2023 Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S Test Review

2023 Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S Test Review Testing Polaris’ updated king of extreme terrain. Polaris shocked the ATV world in 2019 with the launch of the 55” wide, 2020 Scrambler S and Sportsman S models. The Scrambler S is arguably the most radical ATV ever made. It’s one of the top horsepower producers with 89HP. It’s 55” width and 57.4” wheelbase, 14.5” of ground clearance and over a foot of highly-adjustable suspension travel at both ends allow the Scrambler S to hammer whoops and rip jumps like no other 4x4 could ever dream while easily conquering rutted and rock strewn trail surfaces left over from a decade of side-by-sides.

In January of 2022, Polaris announced that the Scrambler S would be rejoining their ATV lineup, including its high-end Walker Evans shocks along with Polaris’ brand new Multi-Select electric power steering, and a bold new look for 2022 that’s carried over to 2023.

For 2022 and 2023, Polaris made the Scrambler S even better. While it’s not the ideal machine for those who typically ride 50 inch trails, or those who race on tight cross country courses. The Scrambler S is for those who want the ability to go faster, jump farther, pound whoops with the dirt bikes or conquer tougher terrain left over by side-by-sides. There’s nothing else like the Scrambler S and it is one heck of a fun ATV to ride.

Sure it's expensive but what's fun in life that isn't? For certain types of riding it doesn't get more fun than the 2023 Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[crazyflyboy]

This is truly the best ATV experience you can ever imagine.
Fast, stable, smooth and runs over anything with easy.
I couldn't be happier with my 2020 Scrambler XP1000 S.
Got a low mileage 773 miles 2020 Scrambler XP1000 S from a friend that upgraded to a new 2023 Scrambler XP1000 S.

Growing up with 300/400ex's, 350 warriors, etc being the go to quads (ofc banshee's being the crazy fast bikes you didn't see much of) and later in my teens the raptor 660s, can am DS's etc to now seeing tons of 800cc+ four wheelers that are massive...basically miniature cars is absolutely insane lol.

[NotgoingToohappen]

Ive come here just to say I have rode mine as hard as humanly possible and Not one single thing has broke or rattled loose and I mean I absolutely hammer it non-stop every time I ride er

[PaulsOffRoadAdventures]

Such a fan of your riders, and crew, it’s hard to find badass videos of people riding these bikes like they should but y’all deliver!

[shinezz]

I love sport quads and seeing this just makes me happy. The combination of the 2 sides of ATVs is awesome and I cant wait to own one. although I really hope sport quads never fully die

[derrinx]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Best atv content on the internet

[tunerworld]

I’ve got a modded out Raptor 700r and a Sportsman 850 Ultimate trail. Both have their pro’s and con’s. A scrambler 1000 sounds like ton of fun and something I may consider to mix the two together. I just wish they made it look newer and got rid of that ugly halogen headlight

[garycraig]

Bought a 2022 sportsman 850 ho last year for snow plowing and love it

[crazymankills]

Ordered mine first call had it sense 2020 been nothing but a blast might get another !

[jeffh]

I have the sportsman 1000S, and I like it, but really wish they'd left the trans brake off like they did on the scrambler.

[cdered]

Great video! always love watching the quad content this channel makes. As far as the scrambler goes, its not a outlaw 450 mxr, polaris if you're watching, make a 450 mxr again. WE WANT SPORT QUADS!!!

[danthechevymancb]

I wish Polaris made a smaller version for tight trails like a 400. As much as I like it, it will not fit on most of the trails I ride on.

[TeamGils]

If you just wanted something fun to ride trails and fire roads, this would be tough to beat. Stable, comfortable, and a lot of fun.

[neooverby]

I have a 22 1000s and it’s amazing I still haven’t pushed it as far as it could go.

[lucaschannel]

I have a 2020 can am xtp 1000r and i love it but damm i would like to try this quad it looks crazy !

[renskivideos]

Bruh, it's basically a side by side minus the cage with an atv seat slapped on top.

Have to say you guys have the best quad reviews on YouTube. Keep up the great work. And I absolutely love that you ride sport quads. I am doing a complete restoration on a 2009 KTM 525 XC. I am 50 years old and love sport quads. Okay after all that. I Just ordered a 2022 sportsman S. They are stupid money up here in Canada. I loved the 55 inch wide and the long travel suspension since they were released. Hell has more then my KTM. The cheap shocks and raising the price is a major 🤬🤬🤬. But what can you do. I am pretty stoked to say the least. I plan on some Elka shocks, complete HMF performance exhaust 😅😮RVS TUNE and clutching. I also ordered a outlaw 110 and Sportsman 110 for the boys. And got them all cheaper then a side by side. The plan is wife rides the sportsman s with the little guy. Boys on theirs and me ripping up on the KTM. Quad family for life. 😊😊😊

[XMR_King]

Loved my 2020 but I did decided to trade it in for Sportsman version, the extra storage, fender coverage is great but the shocks are junk compared to the Walker Evans, shame on Polaris, charging 21K Canadian with crap shocks, no Ride Command on screen, also will be getting rid of the fat rear tires and have same size all around like the Scrambler

[dirttraxtv]

Nice work, guys! Tons of info here and some wild ride footage. Made me wanna get out there and rip this machine 🤘👊💥
