Default Stock Polaris Outlaw 525 S speed 90+??? YOUR OPINION PLEASE...

Ok I have got a question for anyone willing to answer it.....

Will a pure bone stock Polaris Outlaw 525 S hit in the hit speeds of 90+???

Ok heres my story:

My friend claims his Stock Polaris Outlaw 525 S will hit 90+. He says he

has top it out at 85MPH going up hill with a vehicle behind him...

And today me and him were riding and I blew past him on a Raptor 350

while he was in a lower gear and then he blew past me....

The Raptor 350 will probably top out at 70 or in the low 70's...

Like I already said I just want your opinions...

No bashing if you dont like Polaris...

Just your opinions and other comments...

Will a Stock Polaris Outlaw 525 S hit speeds at 90+?

Thanks
Connor

No way. They have the motor for it, but nothing comes geared for that from the factory. Actually, even the raptor 350 doing 70 is pretty optimistic. That Outlaw is more likely running mid to high 70's.

No. An Outlaw 525 will not do 90+ mph in stock form. No way, no how, ain't gonna happen. Your friend can keep dreaming if it makes him happy though.

I can also tell you the Raptor 350 won't do 60 stock. It has that old tired warrior motor in it. Now modded a bit with a good tail wind going down hill with some different gearing it could happen.

I have no doubt in my mind that the raptor can hit speeds of 70MPH..

We have top it out several ways and they all have results of high 60's

including running a wehicle beside it, running his Grizzly 700 by it (with

speedometer), and a radar gun... the highest was the radar gun with

71MPH...

Also this thread is not for bashing on the Raptor. Its for your opinion on

the Outlaw's top speed...

I dont think there is a quad out there,stock,that will do 90 +mph, that i know of. You have to remember,these bikes come from the factor to try and satisfy the customer in every way it may be ridden. For example, they cant build a bike that will do 90+ b/c that will require high gears. Try to ride that same bike in the woods or on trails. the bike will have difficulties. Dont get me wrong, it can be done,but theres a fine line there that the bike will require a lower gear ,but not have it b/c its meant for racing at high speeds. Now take that same bike ,put some lower gears in it and now you have a bike that will run great on trails for the faster,shorter, straighaways and still be fast,just not 90mph fast. Get what im saying? Now one thing that can be done and is cheap, change out the sprocket. My friend found that a one tooth larger sprocket was perfect for riding the trails around here. Says it helps to carry the gear out a little longer and dont have to shift as much on the trails. I know you were looking for just a "yes" or a "no" answer,but i am bored.

Hey I'm not bashing it! We have tons more of fun on our friends raptor than his dads YFZ! The fact is no quad stock will do 90. The fastest stock quad the Quadzilla only hit 80. They can be made to go 90 but out of the factory no way no how.

OK I'm not saying you are lying, but something was wrong with your measuring medium because NO WAY IN HECK will a stock Raptor 350 hit anywhere near 70mph......impossible.

My wife owns one, and that thing is lucky to hit 60mph on flat ground...... My z400 was clocked with GPS at 67mph and it is WAY faster then our Raptor......My buddy's 450R was GPS at 74mph and he has the HRC kit......That Raptor 350 could not keep up with an infant riding it, and a bear on the z400.....

Now granted those could be off by a couple MPH if you factor in altitude, surface, rider weight, slight inaccuracies of the GPS, etc.....But there still no way that 350 will hit 70...

There is also no way the 525 will do 90....not with stock gearing..... It takes thousands of dollars to build a Baja machine that can do 85. If there was something that did 90 stock, every Baja racer would be trying one out.
