I really want to know about the ADC. How does it work and how well does it work?

I ll keep you posted Outlandish, so far so good. Senca as far as the ADC is awesome. Keep in mind I haven't had it on mountain with vertical downhill descent, but I have had on some small hills at the house. It is hands above better than the standard EBS on the Polaris machines. I won't say it is as good as the Outlander EBS, until I can take it on a steep downhill descent like I have with the Outlander. In my mind the Outlander has the best EBS on the market, just from the small hill that I took it on the ADC feels as good as the Outlander. I ll have more on that later with videos, and pics. As far as how it works, you must have 4 things for it too work, and it engages automatically without any other buttons. 1) You must be in AWD 2) The ATV must be at 15mph or less 3) You cannot be on the throttle at all 4) Transmission must be in High, Low, or Reverse It disengages when you do the following; 1) When you go from AWD to 2wd 2) Your speed goes over 15 mph 3) If you touch the throttle at all 4) Transmission is in Park in or neutral. I have too say this is one major reason whey I bought a Polaris. I hated, hated, the Polaris EBS, trying to control a 800+lbs on a steep vertical mountain is not my cup of tea. Trying to fight it from skidding, slidding, or fighting the rear end from coming around is not fun in my opinion. Not when you have machines out there where all you have to do is put in 4wd, Low, and just let it crawl down the mountain, all you do is sit back, and steer. The ADC now allows this. I ll have more on it when we head up to some real mountains, but so far it works really well.

LaMigra, Thanks looking forward to more info on ADC. But do you know how the system works-I was told by one dealer it was a hydraulic system that pumped fluid to the front diff somehow(not in any way connected to regular brakes). Is that right?

I have been told many different ways in which it works. I am trying to get one solid answer on how it mechanically works, and as soon as I find out I ll let you know. The ADC does have its own fluid system, so it might work that way, I ll let you know.

Amazing how little information and knowledge there is on this ADC sytem out there. If the ADC works satisfactorily it is one of the most important developments ever put on a Polaris. You'd think they'd really be promoting it if it works good. Kinda makes you worry there's gonna be glitches with it but you should be able to find out when you test it on some steep downhills!

Yeah, I hear you Senca. So far its been out for 2006, and I haven't heard off to many problems with it for the first year, but will see. I had it out last night, had it in AWD, going about 30mph, let off the gas, started coasting, once it reached 15mph, bam the ADC kicked it, and it felt like the brake was being applied, and I didn't roll much further. The system works awesome. That was in High gear, I can only imagine what it will do in low. We have ride planned for Oklahoma this Sunday, and I will be able to test it out there on some steep hills. I am curious to see how it stacks up agains the Outlander 800 EBS since that is the best on the market, I think the ADC will give it a run for its money. I am very happy with the ADC so far, Polaris nailed this one. I ll pics, and videos this weekend.

It ran like a champ. That extended wheelbase is awesome super stable, and rock solid in off camber situations. There is this old creek bed we always crawl through. I have taken my OL 800EFI through there all the time, and would always get hung up, or had to work the machine because of the visco lok was waiting to kick in. I have to be honest this X2 simply crawled up and over the rocks, with 13" of stock ground clearance, and the extended wheelbase, it allowed the machine to be strected out further which allowed for constant traction. We are going back to take more videos, and show the differences. On that hill climb, the Outlanders went up no problem, my Grizz 700 did well, but the Brute Force nearly flipped front end over, luckly a tree caught the machine. Everyone else went around after that. But yeah, this machine is rock solid in technical situations, and hill climbs. We are testing the fuel mileage this weekend up in Oklahoma. We will be doing 100+ mile trail rides each day for two days, I ll let you know how that works.

I am a dealer that sells both x2 + can-am . The diffance so far is ride on the back the can-am is way better . Down hill i would have to say the x2 for true 4 wheel engine braking .You have to know that can-am visco diff on down hill decent is only on one front wheel and both back wheels

Lets just say its awesome, I have a video of it on a small hill, going against the Polaris Standard EBS. The video tells it all. The ADC is a winner, and I would say its very close to the Outlander 800 EBS, maybe slightly better. I am working on the write up now with pics, and vids.

Wow that sounds good. You'd think they'd make it standard on all their machines. The rear wheel engine braking only(along with a single brake lever) has really caused a lot of crashes.

I agree Senca if you are inexperienced rider on Polaris machine, and try and tackle a steep, and dangerous hill it can get ugly. I know experienced Polaris riders think nothing of it, but when you have nearly every machine on the market that have awesome EBS system you would think Polaris would have on it theirs. Its like Honda sticking with drum brakes for years, and not going with disc brakes. I was going to save this video once I released the X2 review, but it won't be a few days before I can finish it so I have posted the video since alot of people were asking about it. Here is the link. [url=Once I get this X2 review finished I am going to dedicate an entire Article/review on the Standard Polaris EBS, and ADC. Maybe you can write the Standard Polaris EBS section, and hopefully, I can get an answer from Polaris about the ADC. I just called Back2, and my other buddy who has a 2006 SP 800EFI, we are all going to get together, and hit this one park. There are hill desecents that will make a person crash if you don't have control over your machine. The hills are very steep, loose gravel, and are a challenge. If Back2, and my buddy are up for it we are going to show what a standard EBS system will do without a brake or reving it, just put it AWD or 2wd, Low, and let it go. Then we will show the tricks that are need to control it. This will all be done side by side with the ADC.]ADC vs Standard EBS video[/url] Once I get this X2 review finished I am going to dedicate an entire Article/review on the Standard Polaris EBS, and ADC.

Yeah, sorry about that link here is the good link Polaris ADC vs Polaris EBS Review And Don, no the ADC is only available on Deluxe models, which will cost about $700 more than a standard model. Keep in mind not everyone needs a great EBS or ADC depends where you live, and whether you ride alot of steep and difficult terrain. I personally love a great EBS system, and that is one feature I love on my Outty so much.

After watching the vids, I agree. It works great. The deluxe package would definitely be worth it to me.
