2026 Denago E-Hawk 6 Test Review: Electric Youth ATV

August 9, 2026

NEW 2025 Kawasaki Brute Force 450 Test Review

March 23, 2026

Mid-size 4×4 ATVs are more than just a displacement number between 400cc and 500cc. It also refers to the machine’s scale.

Our expectations for this machine, after the number of high-performance tests we’ve done over the last two years we’re certainly tempered, and rightfully so.

Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S Series: Ep 1 East Coast Test Review

October 12, 2020

After testing the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S back in 2019 we knew there was a lot left to discover about this new class of sport 4×4 machine. We knew the 55” width and 14” of suspension travel worked amazingly well pounding whoops out in the desert, but how would the Scrambler S work in the sometimes fast, sometimes tight, rocky, and rutted clay based trails back east. Also, how
