INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)

The heart of what makes a Sportsman a Sportsman. The rock-solid, proven design minimizes body roll and keeps the ride smooth.

AVAILABLE PAINTED FINISH

Metallic automotive-style finish is 900% tougher and 9 times more scratch-resistant than standard plastic is and, if damaged, can be easily repaired.

LOCK & RIDE

Exclusive, hassle-free system lets you change out accessories in seconds with no wrenches or additional tools.

ALL NEW ACTIVE DECENT CONTROL (ADC)

Work together with Sportsman's Engine Braking System (EBS) to give you optimum control when moving down hills and steep inclines.

ON-DEMAND AWD

The Polaris exclusive AWD automatically engages all wheels when you need more forward traction and reverts back to 2WD when you do not.

3-STAR PXT TIRES

Exclusive 3/4in. lug tire-cleaning pattern maximizes traction in mud and loose terrain.

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION (EFI) 500 ENGINE

Automatically adjusts to altitude and air temperature for faster starts, crisper throttle responses and better fuel economy.

The largest front storage of any ATV. Large capacity lets you carry loads of gear and still have access to it even with items tied down to the deck.
