STRONG, POWERFUL ENGINES
We took the engineering know-how of an entire category and turned it
upside down. Well, technically, sideways, by rotating the engine 90 degrees.

4 valves per cylinder and 70 hp
550 SOHC Single EFI
4 valves per cylinder and 42 hp
AVAILABLE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING
With 30% more power assist than the leading competitor has, plus
Variable Assist for easier steering effort at lower speeds and more
responsiveness at higher speeds, it’s the best power steering on the
market. Hands down.
LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)
The Sportsman was the world’s first ATV with IRS, and now it leads again
with Rolled IRS, which is angled rearward for a smoother ride and less
squat during acceleration.
SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS
With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards
and narrower space at the knees (3.25 inches/8.3 cm) and ankles
(5 inches/12.7 cm). Besides delivering a sporty, nimble feel,
the positioning reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.
