Minneapolis, MN (8/01/06) - For 2007,
Polaris is introducing a new way to purchase an ATV
from one of its best-selling product lines. Introducing,
Standard, Mossy Oak™ and Deluxe packages for the
Polaris Sportsman line of ATVs.
“Offering purchasing options for our Sportsman
line caters to the wide variety of ATV consumers,”
said Mike Dougherty, general manager for the ATV Division
at Polaris. “The Standard model offers customers
legendary Sportsman features; while the Mossy Oak™
and Deluxe packages provide added features at a great
value.”
The Standard and Deluxe packages will be offered on
the Sportsman 500 EFI, Sportsman 800 EFI, Sportsman
X2 500 EFI and Sportsman X2 800 EFI; with the Sportsman
450 and Sportsman 700 EFI only being offered as Standard
models. To appeal to the hunting community, a Mossy

| Regardless if a customer chooses a Standard, Mossy
Oak™ or Deluxe model, they will get the following
features found on Polaris Sportsman ATVs: |
• Various engine sizes to cater to the
different needs of the Sportsman rider.
- Liquid-cooled, carbureted, single-cylinder,
Polaris 450
- Liquid-cooled, single cylinder, Polaris 500
engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
- Liquid-cooled, twin cylinder, Polaris Liberty
700 engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
- Liquid-cooled, twin cylinder, Polaris Liberty
800 engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
- The EFI system compensates automatically
for changes in altitude and temperature, ensuring
the Sportsman starts readily and delivers maximum
performance in all environments, from –25
degrees F to 120 degrees F and at altitudes
up to 10,000 feet.
•Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT),
the industry’s all-time best-selling automatic
transmission. The PVT continually senses engine
speed and vehicle torque load and provides the
proper amount of power to the drive wheels.
• The Polaris Exclusive On Demand All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) system automatically engages when
the rider needs more forward traction. It reverts
to 2WD automatically when AWD is no longer needed.
• Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with
an anti-roll bar delivers the legendary Sportsman
smooth ride, up to 9.5 inches of travel and up
to 11.25 inches of ground clearance. The “rolled
IRS,” found on the X2 models, reduces vehicle
squat under acceleration.
• MacPherson strut front suspension with
8.2” of travel.
• Tough bodywork with splash protection
and easy access to several maintenance and adjustment
points. The front bumper is a tough composite
material while the floorboards are practically
unbreakable and offer great splash protection.
• In front is an integrated, composite
storage box. The storage box lid has numerous
tie-down points and can be lifted even when gear
is strapped to it.
• In back, a tough composite rear rack
accepts Pure Polaris Lock & Ride™ accessory
mounts. These mounts use anchor technology that
allow a rider to attach accessories in seconds.
The rack has numerous tie-down points and under
the rear rack is an easy-access 10x10 inch storage
box and a 1.25 inch standard receiver hitch.
• Polaris’ single-lever, all-wheel,
hydraulic disc brakes with stainless steel braided
lines and an auxiliary hydraulic rear foot brake.
• The drum-shift provides a simple inline
shift pattern that makes plowing easier and allows
riders to shift easily among High, Low, Neutral
and Reverse. The transmission also has a Park
position.
• VDO instrumentation keeps riders aware
of the vehicle’s operating status. There
is an electronic fuel gauge with a low-fuel flasher
and data concerning speed, engine RPM, maintenance
indicators and a gear position indicator.
