Equipped with a high-output engine, the 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. is an ATV designed to provide safe and reliable transportation across areas of rough, uneven terrain, on both sealed and unpaved roads and forest trails. The on-demand AWD system provides increased traction when needed, automatically engaging the front wheel drive on slippery, unstable surfaces, or when bigger bumps or steeper gradients are encountered, reverting to RWD as obstacles are surmounted.
Dependable hydraulic disk brakes with steel-braided lines ensure firm, predictable stopping power for increased confidence, while massive racking and towing capacities make sure even the most demanding outdoor tasks can be carried out with ease. A front storage box is fitted as standard, and multiple accessories can expand the functionality of this ATV according to each rider's needs.
