Polaris 2017 ATV Lineup

Polaris All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) are the No. 1 selling brand of automatic ATVs* because the lineup offers the best performance and best value. For Model Year 2017, Polaris is catering to Recreational/Utility and Sport/Utility enthusiasts by reintroducing its big bore flagship models, offering ATVs for new applications and introducing more value into the lineup.  

Sport/Utility Models

Polaris is redesigning, renewing and reintroducing its flagship lineup of big bore Sportsman® ATVs to offer a perfect blend of features and performance for an all-new Sport/Utility experience. The vehicles have a new rider-active design for the most sport-like experience ever on a Sportsman, in addition to delivering even more utility. To cater to a wide-variety of big bore customers, the lineup features three new standard models: the industry’s most powerful Sportsman XP 1000, Sportsman 850 SP, and industry’s best value big bore – the Sportsman 850. In addition to the standard models, the Sportsman XP 1000 is available in an ultrapremium Hunter Edition package and Matte Copper Limited Edition.  

Built for performance-minded Sport/Utility consumers who want an ATV predominately for recreation and no compromise for working, the new Sportsman XP 1000 is the most-powerful and fastest-accelerating (0-30 mph/0-48.3 kph in 2.14 seconds) Sportsman ever. Its 90horsepower, electronic fuel injected (EFI) ProStar® 952cc engine delivers smooth, precise power, thanks to its drive-by-wire technology. Coupled with the engine is the most versatile transmission for pure sport and utility. The transmission offers a fast high gear along with the most versatile low gear, ideal for high-torque recreation and utility situations, such as technical riding in rocks and mud, and utilitarian needs such as towing and hauling.   

The all-new and exclusive Three-Mode Throttle Control, standard on the Sportsman XP 1000, gives the rider ultimate control of the power delivery for the best riding experience in any situation. The operator can choose from three modes: Performance for faster acceleration and aggressive trail and sport riding; Standard for a traditional blend of torque and performance; and Work for smooth power delivery ideal for work tasks, hunting and cruising.   

To complement the power, the new Sportsman XP 1000 suspension and chassis is designed for true sport/utility performance. The proven XP chassis has the highest front- and rear-approach angles to maximize ground clearance in extreme terrain. The vehicle’s industry-leading, dual aarm front suspension with anti-kickback steering provides 9 in. (22.86 cm) of travel; while the exclusive rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) and tuned torsion bar provide 10.25 in. (26.04 cm) of rear travel for the smoothest ride. New, constant-radius, arched lower control arms allow for significantly more useable ground clearance to tackle tough trail conditions. The sport-tuned, variable assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS) automatically adjusts based on riding conditions for effortless low-speed technical maneuvers, and excellent rider feel and control at high speeds. For the ultimate handling in all conditions, the high-performance AllWheel Drive (AWD) system with the Engine Braking System (EBS) and Active Descent Control (ADC) ensure enhanced traction in a wide variety of off-road terrain in all seasons.  

The Sportsman XP 1000 features a new, rider-active design for the most sport-like experience ever on a Sportsman. The vehicle is the most responsive and confidence-inspiring due to an intuitive design that puts focus on the ride experience. For the driver, high-visibility sight lines allow for faster and more aggressive riding, while a motocross-inspired, dual-zone, sculpted seat maximizes rider input and comfort. To keep the driver planted, the vehicles have deep, foot wells to avoid foot slippage. New, large side panels and factory-installed fender flares provide extra protection from trail elements for a better experience in muddy trail conditions. A stainless steel, performance exhaust system provides a throaty rumble and powerful, triple hi-beam forward lighting and LED tail lights allow for additional visibility. To further enhance the ATV rider experience, the vehicle has full digital instrumentation and Bluetooth connectivity for missed calls and text messages.  

To complement the new, rider-active design that creates the new sport-like experience, the vehicle delivers even more utility. An all-new rack and storage system with new, hard-working accessories ensures the vehicle can tackle any task. The new, multi-textured racks offer 360 lbs. (163 kg) of capacity, maximum grip and easy cleaning with 44 tie-down points and integrated 5-gal. (18.95-L) bucket mounts to secure all loads. The factory-installed, modular rack-extension system has six rack extenders that can be configured to handle any load; while the new, integrated front and rear storage keeps essentials secure inside the boxes. Riders also will enjoy the new, easily accessible beverage holder, more than 4 gal. (15.14 L) of front, dry storage, and 3 gal. (11.36 L) of rear dry storage. The vehicle’s integrated winch and plow mount makes adding these popular accessories quick and easy. Polaris Engineered Accessories™ will have more than 100 accessories available, including new Lock & Ride® bumpers, storage and customizable wind deflection.  

The new Sportsman XP 1000 is available with aggressive 26-in. (66.04-cm) CST tires on 14-in. (35.6-cm) cast aluminum wheels with automotive-style paint in Stealth Black.
