EFI
Sportsman 500 EFI Blue |
Whether you want to hunt, hit the trails, or
just get the job done, this is the model that
made the Sportsman® name what it is. It’s the
perfect balance of all-around work and play
functionality. Boasting new standard features
for 2008, the legend just keeps setting the bar
higher.
Standard Features
- Lock & Ride: Exclusive, hassle-free
system lets you change out accessories in
seconds with no wrenches or additional
tools.
- Available Painted Finish: Metallic
automotive-style finish is 900 percent
tougher and nine times more
scratch-resistant than standard plastic is
and, if damaged, can be easily repaired.
- Independent Rear Suspension (IRS): The
heard of what makes a Sportsman a Sportsman.
The rock-solid, proven design minimizes body
roll and keeps the ride smooth.
- All New Active Descent Control (ADC):
Work together with Sportsman’s Engine
Braking System (EBS) to give you optimum
control when moving down hills and steep
inclines.
- On-Demand AWD: The Polaris exclusive AWD
automatically engages all wheels when you
need more forward traction and reverts back
to 2WD when you don’t.
- Front Storage: The largest front storage
of any ATV. Large capacity lets you carry
loads of gear and still have access to it
even with items tied down to the deck.
- Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) 500
Engine: Automatically adjusts to altitude
and air temperature for faster starts,
crisper throttle responses and better fuel
economy.
- Three-Star PXT Tires: Exclusive 0.75
inch lug-tire cleaning pattern maximizes
traction in mud and loose terrain.
