"Polaris focused on updating some key models in our ATV line up for 2010," said Matt Homan, vice president and general manager of Polaris' Off-Road Division. "By coupling the award-winning Sportsman XP features with the best-selling line of 2-Ups and introducing the Sportsman 500 H.O.

2010 Polaris Sportsman XP 850 ATV

Introduced in 2009, the Sportsman 550 and 850 XP were 99 percent new, except for the shift knob, and took Sportsman's power and ride to the next level. With engine upgrades such as an 850cc, twin EFI engine that churns out 70 horsepower that made it the most-powerful stock ATV in the world; and a 549cc single EFI engine delivering 42 horsepower, these were the most powerful and smoothest riding Sportsman ever built. Featured upgrades included vertically-mounted engines for improved ergonomics, exclusive anti-kickback steering and available electronic power steering, coupled with all the features that made the hardest working, smoothest riding Sportsman line legendary, the Sportsman XP models took the industry by storm.

For 2010, Polaris has added the Sportsman XP features to their 2-Up line by offering the Sportsman 850 and 550 Touring, and the Sportsman 550 X2. To complete the 2-Up line up, Polaris leveraged the best-selling automatic platform of all-time and is offering the Sportsman 500 H.O. Touring with the original styling for the value-conscious consumer.

Along with new engines, chassis, styling, ergonomics and dual A-arm front suspension, the most-comfortable Touring models are even more comfortable with the addition of electronic power steering and a new passenger seat with a comfort ride seat suspension. To assist the rider in rough terrain, Polaris outfitted the 2010 Touring models with the company's exclusive electronic power steering system.

The Polaris system offers variable assist which provides the most steering assistance at slow speeds and more positive feedback and confidence at high speeds. Coupling the electronic power steering with Polaris' exclusive anti-kickback steering, which features longer control arms and the largest wheels enabling the steering pivot of each axle to be moved to the most-central and neutral part of the tire, the Touring models have superior ride and handling making them the most comfortable 2-Up ATVs on the market.

Along with having more room than the competition, a large passenger seat, vibration absorbing hand holds and adjustable vibration-absorbing footrests, the 2010 Touring models feature a passenger seat with an individual shock to dampen trail feedback making an even smoother ride for the passenger.

The Sportsman X2, with its fold-down second seat and cargo box, is the most-versatile ATV on the market. For 2010, the addition of the Sportsman XP features adds even more versatility and work capabilities to the revolutionary ATV. The 42-horsepower, 550cc engine with its roller driven clutch to provide smooth, faster clutch response and a " Low" gear with speeds up to 39 mph, makes the Sportsman 550 X2 an even more able work partner. Its exclusive antikickback steering with longer control arms, industry's largest wheels and lower-profile tires deliver the most-positive, precise steering, resulting in less rider fatigue during work applications and on the trail. For sensitive terrains, such as lawns, the Sportsman 550 X2 offers VersaTrac, a one-wheel, locking rear differential for a tighter turning radius and less damage to grass. The improved ergonomics include a narrow seat design with more knee room for easier rider maneuverability when hauling loads or driving on the trail. Sportsman 550 X2 passengers also will enjoy more passenger room than competitive models, and both rider and passenger will benefit from larger floor boards with more mud protection
