EFI Touring

Sportsman 500 EFI Touring |
Whether it’s a long ride or a not-so-long
ride, we designed the NEW Sportsman® Touring to
be the most comfortable trip two people can have
on an ATV. Period. So you and your passenger can
enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Standard Features
- Vibration-Isolating Handholds: Offer
passenger support while minimizing fatigue.
- Vibration-Isolating Footrests: Ensures a
comfortable ride for passengers of all
heights.
- Rolled Independent Rear Suspension
(IRS): Our legendary Sportsman IRS, angled
for an even smoother ride for the passenger.
- Ultra-Comfortable Seat and Backrest:
Offering the most passenger room of any
two-up ATV.
- All New Active Descent Control (ADC):
Work together with Sportsman’s Engine
Braking System (EBS) to give you optimum
control and smooth, even deceleration during
descents.
- On-Demand AWD: The Polaris AWD
automatically engages all wheels when you
need more forward traction and reverts back
to 2WD when you don’t.
- Versatrack Turf Mode: Minimize footprint
on sensitive terrain.
- 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.
