2006 Polaris Youth ATVs
Sportsman 90, Predator 90 and Predator 50 Are
Safe, Fun, and Easy to Use
 Polaris
youth ATVs are the best selling line of youth vehicles
for young and beginner riders. The youth line includes
the Sportsman 90, Predator 90 and Predator 50. Because
all of these ATVs include popular features found
on full-size Polaris ATVs, they are safe, easy to
use and fun to ride.
New for 2006, the Predator 90 and Sportsman 90
include daytime running lights to make the ATVs
more visible to others. Continuing in all 2006 Polaris
youth models are the features that make these the
best-selling youth ATVs, including electric start,
automatic transmission and reverse.
Polaris youth ATVs provide parents and guardians
with controls that allow them to monitor how and
when the vehicles are used. The parental and safety
controls include an engine-stop tether cord, removable
ignition key and electronic throttle safety control.
Mechanical and electronic speed controls enable
adults to set a maximum speed control limit.
Other safety features include the new daytime
running lights, plus full floorboards and heat shields
to protect young riders. Polaris Youth ATVs purchased
from an authorized dealer come with a high-visibility
whip flag, DOT-approved helmet, speed limiter and
safety video. In the U.S., dealers provide safety
training for parents and rider with every purchase.
Sportsman 90 and Predator 90
The Sportsman 90 and Predator 90 are for riders
12-years and older. These two models have five inches
of rear suspension travel and a soft suspension
calibration for a smooth ride. The front-end geometry
of these models delivers a tighter turning radius
than other youth models. An electric start interlock
requires the brake to be engaged for the engine
to start.
New last year, the Sportsman 90 and Predator
90 got quieter, with a redesigned silencer, and
delivered better throttle response and low-RPM power
for better, more consistent overall riding. In addition,
each has a filter in the cooling fan duct to prevent
debris from clogging the cool air intake.
The Sportsman 90 looks like the full-sized Sportsman
models with a cosmetic headlight pod, front and
rear racks, front bumper and fender flares, and
now comes in two standard colors -- Sportsman Green
and Red.
The Predator 90 looks like a full-size Predator
500 with its styled bodywork and cool graphics.

 Predator
50
The minimum age for the Predator 50 is six years
old. Adults overseeing use of the Predator 50 have
more control with a parental tether. This long cord
plugs into a rear tether switch so that an adult
walking or running alongside the vehicle can stop
the engine instantly by pulling the cord. This allows
the adult to have full influence over the use of
the machine as young riders get accustomed to operating
it.
The Predator 50 has footwells that are adjustable
for young riders as they grow. It also has slightly
more narrow front tires for easier steering and
better maneuverability.
The Predator 90 and 50 now come in two standard
colors – White and Red.
