ATVs

If you love riding, chances are, you love a challenge.

Whether it’s going out in subzero temperatures,

diving into a mudhole or tearing up a track, the

harder you push, the happier you are.

Thing is, you can only push as far as your machine

will let you.

Which is exactly why we build and design our

ATVs the way we do.

See, we’ve talked to more than just a few of you.

In fact, we’ve ridden with more than just a few of

you. And our machines refl ect that.

From workhorses with IRS and EFI, to feature-

loaded midsize ATVs, to track-scorching sport quads,

hands down we’ve got the world’s toughest ATVs.

And what could be more fi tting for the world’s

toughest riders?

GO ANYWHERE.FAST!

THE SPORTSMAN 700/800 TWIN EFI RUNDOWN: Cold or hot, the easy starting power of EFI on the 700 and 800 gets you wherever you need to go in a hurry. And with massive amounts of torque on tap that can pull out a stump or pull down a house, the 700 and 800 dominate the trail, jobsite and ranch. So, while the jobs may be rough, the combination of IRS and the power delivery of EFI makes sure the ride won’t be. And a smooth ride means you can work and ride longer.

THE SPORTSMAN 500 EFI RUNDOWN: The world’s best- selling ATV gets even better with EFI. From the arctic to the subtropic, EFI means reliable starts and greater fuel economy, even under the harshest conditions. Also, with EFI, there’s no adjusting for altitude and temperature. Which means you can hit the trail anywhere in the world; Alaska, Death Valley, Iceland, the Sahara...

THE SPORTSMAN 450 RUNDOWN: Trail riding, rock crawling, log hauling and leaving other ATVs in the dust. Easy work for the 450, now bristling with more power and aggression than last year’s 400. And that power, coupled with IRS and exclusive on-demand all-wheel drive, makes the 450 the ATV that gets it done. Whatever “it” happens to be.

And since the seat folds into a pickup-type bed, you can do even more than you could with a conventional 1-Up; trail riding with gear, packing out large game and hauling over rough terrain.

Unmatched Skid Protection

PRO-STEERING MEANS NO BUMP STEER-On most sport quads, as you lean into a corner or nose into a whoop, bump steer makes it feel like the quad is steering you instead of the other way around. Predator’s unique PRO (Polaris Rider Optimized) steering system virtually eliminates bump steer. It also creates easier steering, less feedback and superior control.

PremiumFox Racing Shox

Approved byMatt Smiley(GNCC Racer)

THE PREDATOR 500 RUNDOWN: Feared on both the trail and track, the Predator comes preloaded with performance parts normally found only on aftermarket sport quads. That, combined with its powerful 500 engine, predictable handling and superior suspension system, explains why the Predator has won seven major awards in just three years. The latest award being Sport Quad of the Year from ATV Sport Magazine.

TRAIL TOUGH.TRACK READY.

PREMIUM FEATURES (all models)

Maxxis® Razr tires on aluminum Douglas® rims with a rolled bead
