Polaris Lowers MSRP on Predator 500
Impressive Ride, Impressive Value
 Sport quad enthusiast can enjoy Predator
500’s suspension, ergonomics and acceleration at
a value. For 2007, Polaris will lower the MSRP
on the award-winning quad making it an even more
attractive option for sport quad enthusiasts and
trail riders a like.
The Predator delivers top performance and clear
advantages, from start to finish. Because the
Predator is geared for maximum torque delivery,
riders produce an additional burst of
acceleration from the close-ratio gearing. That
roll-on acceleration is available on demand,
without downshifting.
The Predator originally entered the market in
2003 as the toughest machine on the trail. Its
reputation was quickly established when riders
demonstrated the best-in-class handling,
suspension and power of the machine.
That world-class performance can be felt best on
the trail, where riders can take full advantage
of the proven Predator 500 engine power,
responsive steering, anti-dive and anti-squat
suspension.
Predator’s front suspension allows the rider to
stay on the gas in corners instead of backing
off to let the quad resettle and hook up again.
To deliver this performance, the Anti-Dive Front
Suspension minimizes dive and inside rear wheel
lift when the rider is braking in corners. An
Anti-Squat Rear Suspension reduces front wheel
lift during acceleration, allowing the power to
fully propel the quad rather than into
unintentional wheel lift. The rear suspension
features 11 inches of travel and the Anti-Dive,
dual A-arm front suspension has 10 inches of
travel.
All of these features mean riders get the full
benefit of the outstanding acceleration and
top-end power of the Polaris 500 liquid-cooled,
4-stroke engine. This engine has dual-overhead
cams, 4 valves and a 42mm carburetor. It has a
pulse fuel pump that provides consistent fuel
flow in all conditions.
 The increased rev limiter allows the engine
to rev higher before the rider needs to shift
the 5-speed transmission. Riders get a better
feel for the machine’s power and can accelerate
faster when they rev higher before changing
gears. The quad also has the added convenience
of reverse to back off trailers and away from
obstacles.
The Predator 500 also has premium features,
including:
- Stainless steel braided brake lines;
- A chromoly axle with limited lifetime
guarantee;
- Maxxis RAZR radial tires;
- Aluminum rims with rolled-edge construction
for strength and durability;
- 52 O-ring chain 5-speed manual transmission
with reverse;
- Hydraulic disc brakes in front and rear;
- 3.25 gallon fuel capacity;
- LED taillight for higher visibility and more
durability than a standard taillight.
For 2007, the Predator is available in Black
and White with new graphics.
