2013 Polaris Sportsman XP850 HO EPS Blue Fire Features and Benefits

Hardest Working

Powerful 850 EFI High Output Engine – The High-Output 850 Twin EFI engine with a SOHC cranks out 77 HP. It delivers outstanding acceleration off the line with incredible power to the ground. Add-in a clean fuel burn and smooth power delivery with dual-balanced shafts and you’ve got the power you’re looking for to trail ride and hunt.

ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) – Still the best automatic 4×4 system out there, the AWD engages all four tires when the rear wheels slip and you need more forward traction. Reverts back to 2WD when you don’t.

ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS) – Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15 mph).

MAXIMUM POWER AND FUNCTIONALITY – With the power to tow 1,500 lbs. and carry a total of 360 lbs. on racks, plus the ability to accessorize in seconds with the Lock & Ride cargo system.

HUGE RACK CAPACITY – Lock & Ride front and rear racks can carry an industry-leading combined 360 lbs and boast 100 tie-down points on strong, rust-free composite racks. Letting you carry all of your gear securely and easily.

Smoothest Riding

ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT – With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrow vehicle width at the knees and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.

Class-Leading 12″ Ground Clearance – With 12″ of ground clearance, clear bigger rocks, navigate deeper ruts, and go where other ATVs can’t.

ANTI-KICKBACK STEERING – Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tire and having the long Dual A-Arm Front Suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts to the handlebars from trail and ground obstacles.

LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED IRS – Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for 10.25″ of travel leading to a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.

PAINT 5-Layer Metallic Automotive-Style Finish Is 9 Times More Scratch-Resistant Than Standard Plastic
