P1000 EPS - Yes or No

[elkguide]

I'll see what I can do..... Dang ole Yankee's, always trying to be funny.... haha

Nothing any funnier than the truth!!!!!!

Is EPS all that? If you bought an non-EPS did you wish you had bought one with? If you bought EPS are you glad you spent the extra money?

Ask someone who doesn't have EPS!

Its (All) That...

With an average size "Joe" behind the wheel these 1000's pushing right up against a TON. That's 2000lbs for the mathematically challenged. I don't know why they offer the 1000 without the EPS unless they want dealerships to make an extra 1k after the sell. What I'm trying to say just like the last 20 this is a no brainer they put this on 800lb atv's why wouldn't you put it on a unit that gonna be dressed out over a Ton.

Give me EPS or give me death

I don't have EPS and don't see any need to get it. I asked my wife if she wanted it and she said she doesn't need it either.

You don't ride in the rocks and push it or you and your wife have Gorilla arms. HA!

I don't ride in the rocks, I push the 500 for everything it has (which isn't much), and I do keep myself in shape but not gorilla shape. My wife rides slow though.

My 9 month pregnant wife wheeled mine all labor day weekend without EPS... hmm suspect of the "men" on this forum now. lol that being said I got the base model because it was on sale for $11,200. Couldn't touch a EPS model for under 13k. Didn't realize it had the paddle shifters, and colored graphics. Looking back I would have bought a EPS model for the couple extra features included the EPS so I woldnt have to jump to a deluxe or limited(17 models). But now that I have it and have modded it to my liking EPS is not worth taking a loss and/or having to building another one the way mine is set up now. Not worth the hassle at this time.

Ever run in tight spaces, rocks, or 4-wd locked? I've wheeled around in these things a bit. Thinking about putting EPS on a 700 with almost 6000 miles LOL.

Id love to tell you on multiple occasions when I got done riding I really regretted not having EPS, but its never once crossed my mind. I drove a mud truck as a daily driver in HS, 87 f150 on 40s with no power steering these little 27s aren't gonna stop me. im more of a fast paced rider or pushing my racecar, I don't pop pop and mom mom threw the woods to need eps

Well when you jack men off for dollars you're bound to gain some arm streangth!!

lol or just not be a pu$$y. You saw my wife, 9 months pregnant, who complains about standing for 4 minutes rode it for 3 days and didn't cry once. Guys on here I believe are a bunch of guys in their 50s and 60s that drive Cadillac CTS's

55 and I drive Big GM cars with leather, Silverado's and Honda's. EPS is kinda like the difference between a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive pickup. Fox shocks are nice too.

Tight spots in the woods when turning around is when it shines most. I've had the wheel jerk thing happen a few times before I got it and haven't had that issue since. I'm thinking it'll be nicer for plowing and that was enough to justify getting it.

Yes EPS is worth every penny. I bought a 2016 P1K with EPS and test drove the ones without. It makes a world of difference in the woods and on the trails.

 

[DesertRat]

YES, unless your pain threshold is high; in my experience, not having EPS is REALLY HARD on your thumbs.
