Welcome to Quad-Cast Episode 3, the all-ATV podcast where we cover the latest machines, tech, and industry news. In this episode’s Wide Open Wire segment, we dive into the 2026 ATV lineups from Can-Am and Polaris, including the all-new Outlander Electric, the Outlander 1000R XT-P with Smart-Shox semi-active suspension, and the Outlander MAX 6×6 with Visco-6Lok. On the Polaris side, we break down the 40th Anniversary Sportsman 570 along with lowered pricing on the Sportsman S and Scrambler S. Wide Open Wire also takes a look at the new Kahana KM500 2-stroke sport ATV and patent updates on Yamaha’s unreleased twin-cylinder sport 4×4 ATV.
In the Gear Up segment, we review some of the newest ATV products, including Fuel Customs’ YFZ450R XC GNCC airbox and intake system, Teixeira Tech’s XGC A-Arms for the Polaris Scrambler S and Sportsman S, and the Fluid Logic GPR50 hydration system. Then, in Rev Limiter, we troll the trolls and roast some of the most negative comments from around the ATV community.
Our Guest Interview features Mike Walsh, owner of Walsh Race Craft, who joins us to discuss the company’s racing history, the development of their aftermarket sport ATV chassis components, and their recent custom sport quad builds powered by the Stark Varg electric dirt bike motor.
