Key Features:
BEEFY 800 EFI POWER
The proven, big-bore 800 twin-cylinder engine gets the job done with 50 HP, and features EFI for fast, reliable starting in any temperature, plus automatic adjustments for altitude.
ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE
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.
IMPRESSIVE TOWING CAPACITY
A big 1,500 lb. towing capacity gives you the power to move all the gear, equipment and material you need out to the job site or hunt camp.
RAISED RADIATOR PLACEMENT
Radiator is mounted 3″ higher in the chassis an angled rearward to keep it out of mud and you on the trail longer.
NEW! INTEGRATED FRONT STORAGE
The most integrated storage of any ATV. The 6.5 gallon capacity lets you stow-away loads of gear and still have access to it, even with items tied to the deck.
GREAT HANDLING
Engine placement more rearward for lighter steering effort and improved handling, letting you tackle the trail or chore of your choice.
LEGENDARY SMOOTH INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)
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.
AGGRESSIVE DESIGN WITH LOCK & RIDE
An aggressive looking body style gives the Sportsman an intimidating look and enhanced sight lines for the driver. The Lock & Ride composite front rack system and matching rear rack make it easy to carry gear.
HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE
A full 11.25″ of obstacle-clearing ground clearance lets you tackle some of the tougher terrain that comes your way.
