Polaris Sportsman XP 550 & 850
|
The Sportsman XP 850 and 550 took the industry
by storm in 2009 as machines built for Xtreme
Performance, and Polaris continues to add features
that make the Sportsman XP 850 and 550 models
even better. For 2011, the Sportsman XP 850,
Sportsman 550, Sportsman Touring 850, Sportsman
Touring 550 and Sportsman X2 550 will have improved
engine braking with more user-friendly engagement,
improved splash protection, and a new vinyl
seat for less slip. All 850cc models also will
receive a new engine coupler for added durability.
The Sportsman XP 850 and 550 will see an approximate
12-pound weight reduction, feature in-mold plastic
and camouflage models will have the new Polaris
Pursuit pattern developed with hunters in mind.
The Sportsman XP 850 EPS/550 EPS and Touring
models also will feature paint and have 16-percent
more fuel capacity for longer range.

For the 2010 Model Year, Polaris used the Sportsman
XP chassis for its 2-Up line for added comfort,
a smoother ride and superior performance. For
2011, Polaris has a new rear suspension on both
the Touring and X2 models for increased rear
travel (10.25 in/26 cm) and new features for
better passenger comfort. The Sportsman Touring
850 EPS and 550 EPS models are equipped with
an improved and removable passenger seat with
additional stability and security, a new rear
seat comfort ride system with improved shock
and spring control, and standard, removable
Lock & Ride® passenger hand guards.

Polaris
Lock & Ride system allows for
quick & easy installation of Pure
Polaris accessories on all the Sportsman
Models

For the occasional one-up rider who wants additional
hard working capability from their ATV, both
the passenger seat and Lock & Ride®
hand grips can be removed and replaced with
a PURE Polaris storage box that takes the place
of the removable passenger seat for added rack
capacity when riding 1-Up.
The versatile Sportsman X2 550, with its 400-pound
capacity rear dump box that goes from 1-Up work
mode to 2-Up play mode in three easy steps,
also receives a new, more comfortable passenger
seat design with almost 21 percent more foam
for added comfort and durability. To work harder,
the unit has improved box latching that was
redesigned with a pullstrap for easier dumping.
