2011 Polaris Sportsman 400 H.O. Features:
New! Sportsman 400 H.O. Full-Size Best Value ATVThe full-size Sportsman 400 H.O. is back and better than ever. Now with the same full-size chassis as the Sportsman 500 H.O., it delivers improved ride and handling, the reliable power of a 455cc liquid-cooled engine, and a great value.
Legendary Smooth Rolled Independent Rear Suspension
The Sportsman was the world’s first ATV with IRS, a feature that made it as popular as it is today. Its rock-solid design has 9.5″ of travel to minimize body roll and keep the ride smooth.
New! Restyled Design With Lock & RideA restyled body gives the Sportsman an aggressive new look and improved sight lines for the driver. The Lock & Ride composite front rack system and matching rear rack make it easy to carry gear.
New! Higher Radiator Placement
Radiator is mounted 3″ higher in the chassis and angled rearward to keep it out of mud and you on
High Ground Clearance
A full 11.25″ of obstacle-clearing ground clearance lets you tackle some of the tougher terrain that comes your way.
On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2WD when you don’t. Other ATVs use a limited-slip differential, engaging only three wheels.
