The Outlaw 450MX-R
The 2010 Polaris Outlaw® 450 MXR ATV is stock race-ready & purpose-built for the race track. This KTM® powered straight-axled, wickedly fast sport quad is ideal ATV for high-performance ATV Racing.
Key features are:
448cc KTM® Racing Engine
Fox Podium X® Racing Shox With Piggyback Reservoirs
Maxxis® RAZR® MX Radial Tires
Self-Adjusting Magura® Hydraulic Clutch
The most Extreme sport quad from Polaris, the 450 MXR ATV is designed for motocross tracks, powered by a booming KTM engine, suspended with Fox Podium X piggyback shocks, meets the dirt via Maxxis Razr MX radials and has a self-adjusting Magura clutch.
Updated last year, the Outlaw is now lighter, has better ergos and is easier to wrench on. COOL FEATURE: The Fox Shox suspension setup provides 10 inches of jump-absorbing travel front and rear.
This machine is mechanized by a 448cc four valve single overhead cam water cooled four stroke engine. Unlike many of its competitors which have gone to fuel injection, the Polaris is fed its air/fuel mixture by a 39mm FCR carburetor.
In the stock streamline, the 448cc KTM® Racing Engine has a nice, and solid bottom end power delivery, and decent mid range, but tends to rev out of power a little too fast. It’s not necessarily bad, just different than say a Suzuki or Honda. As far as overall power, The Outlaw has tons of it, and tons of potential to easily make more with minor modifications. In stock trim, it’s better than you’d expect, and easily right there with the Suzuki LTR450.
The five speed transmission prefers to be short shifted which actually increases your corner speed since you can exit corners a gear higher without losing any torque.
The self-adjusting Magura hydraulic clutch works flawlessly, and is easily among the best features of the machine. The clutch feel is consistent every time you use it, regardless of conditions. In addition to consistency, the actual pull of the lever is quite a bit smoother, and lighter than non- hydraulic clutches, which makes long rides, or races that much easier.
