2011 Polaris Sport & Utility ATV Model Line Up
New Sportsman 500 HO & Touring, Sportsman 500 & 400 HO, Big Boss 6x6 800

Minneapolis, MN (7/27/2010) - For model year 2009, Polaris introduced the all-new Sportsman XP and saw the Sportsman XP 850 become the No. 1 Big Bore ATV. Model Year 2010 saw the Sportsman XP features added to the 2-Up line, and a redesigned Scrambler, Trail Blazer and Trail Boss.

For 2011, Polaris continues to update models in the Sportsman line and build upon its success of introducing models that are not only innovative, but appeal to a wide variety of ATV enthusiasts.

“We have made significant changes to more than 90 percent of our ATV line up during the last two model years,” said Matt Homan, vice president and general manager of Polaris’ Off-Road Division. “For Model Year 2011, we’ll continue the trend of redesigning our product line to ensure we have the hardest working, smoothest riding ATVs in the industry.”

The 2011 Polaris 400 HO Utility ATV has a new fullsize & restyled chassis

The Sportsman 500 H.O. continues to be the best-selling automatic 4x4 ATV of all time and for 2011, along with Sportsman 800 EFI, Sportsman Big Boss 6x6 800 and Sportsman Touring 500 H.O., Polaris is updating both the style and functionality. The models will feature an aggressive new front end style that raises the front radiator, gives a smaller appearance, is less-bulky, and improves handling and sight lines for the driver. As part of the redesign, the Sportsman 400 H.O. will rejoin the rest of the value line in the restyled chassis.

The Sportsman 800 EFI, Sportsman 500 H.O., Sportsman Touring 500 H.O. and Sportsman 400 H.O. also have an improved drive train with a quieter, more efficient transmission for smoother operation. The Sportsman 800 EFI will see an improved weight bias due to the engine being moved rearward more than three inches. The new engine placement results in a lighter steering effort and better handling.

Touring and Sportsman 800 6x6). A new Lock & Ride®-ready rear rack, a raised and angled radiator for improved mud protection, new front lights, and a lower winch mount for better self extraction also increase the functionality of these hard working ATVs.
