2011 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.
