Top 3 Fastest Stock ATVs

Most people that want a fast ATV have to modify their quad to make it faster, but this could void manufactures warranties, which could cause you some problems. 

What makes a quad fast? The engine size matters a lot. The bigger the engine, the faster it will go. But the engine type also plays a role in the speed, and weight also plays a huge factor. 

There are a lot of stock fast quads, but only a few stick out to me. These are the quickest ATVs to date. 

The Polaris Scrambler XP S 1000 S is one of the fastest four wheelers ever built. This quad might not have the most horsepower on this list but yet it is still one of the fastest. The Polaris Scrambler has a total of 89 horsepower, a ProStar Engine, 14.5 of Ground Clearance, and Walker Evans Premium Shocks. It dominates the off-road terrain category. So if you are looking for something that handles well off road and is stupidly fast, then this one’s for you. 

The next four wheeler has the highest horsepower out of all the four wheelers on this list. It has an overall of 91 horsepower. It might not sound like a lot, but for a four wheeler that’s way more than you should need. Believe it or not,  the Renegade X XC 1000R has one of the highest horsepower compared to all other four wheelers in the world, it has a Rotax V-twin engine, both front and rear FOX 1.5 Podium RC2 shocks, a ground clearance of 10.5, a 1000R engine, and the overall weight of this ATV is 710 pounds. It has so much torque and more than plenty of power. If your riding style is getting up to speed quick then I would recommend the Renegade. 

Last but least on this list, is the Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000. This was one of the fastest four wheelers of its time but the Scrambler and Renegade took its stardom away. The Thundercat might not be the fastest but it is still overall an astonishing quad. It has a V-Twin engine, its 950cc, 70 hp, and is a four stroke. If you are looking for something fast but don’t want an outrageously powerful ATV, then this one is perfect for you. 

Out of these three ATVs my favorite would be the Polaris Scrambler by far. It’s the fastest and is the best off road.
