POLARIS 2016 ATV LINE UP
Polaris Sportsman All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) are known as the hardest working, smoothest riding ATVs on the market. For Model Year 2016, the Sportsman line adds three new models, including two for the mud lifestyle, in addition to several improvements and new color choices driven from customer input.
New to the Big Bore line for 2016, Polaris has partnered with High Lifter to offer two ATVs made for the mud, the Sportsman XP 1000 Stealth Black High Lifter Edition and Sportsman 850 Orange High Lifter Edition. With 85 horsepower and 78 horsepower respectively, the vehicles are not only powerful but the most-affordable mud units in their classes. From the competitive mud racer to the mud enthusiast, both ATVs can be taken from the show room floor right to the ride park for a day of fun in the mud. And with two price points, there is a mudder available for any budget.
Both units have been designed from the ground up to tackle the mud. To ensure the power plants breathe, the units feature shielded high engine air and clutch intake/outlets as well as high mounted vent lines, which are essential for reliable performance. For cooling, both vehicles have been equipped with a relocated, rack-mounted radiator with inverted dual fans, an industry-exclusive design that pulls clean air through the bottom of the radiator for improved cooling and reduced clogging.
For more mud-specific torque, both units are equipped with a High and Low transmission with lower gearing. To put all the power and torque to the ground, the XP 1000 has the Polaris High Performance, Close Ratio Front Drive which provides quicker On-Demand four-wheel drive engagement to handle the toughest mud holes. Riders also will find that both units are designed to tackle the mud with the standard 29.5 in/74.9 cm High Lifter Outlaw II tires and a redesigned suspension featuring stiffer springs for higher ground clearance, exclusive front and rear high-arched, constant radius dual A-arms, and new articulating rear suspension designed to maximize traction in the deepest mud pit. Riders also will appreciate the quick clearing foot wells designed to minimize mud collection to maximize confidence while riding.
The Sportsman XP 1000 High Lifter Edition is fully-equipped from the factory with custom paint and graphics, aluminum wheels, Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and an industry first handlebar-mounted mud bar to maximize control in the mud. The vehicle also features custom color matched, high-mounted front and rear bumpers, factory-installed Polaris 3,500 lb./1587 kg winch with sealed handlebar switch and front tow hooks.

To work harder, the Sportsman 450 H.O. also features Polaris’ On-Demand, True All-Wheel Drive System (AWD) which engages all four tires when the rear wheels slip and more traction is needed, and automatically reverts back to 2WD when it’s not needed.

For a smoother ride, the Sportsman 450 H.O. features the proven MacPherson Strut front suspension with 8.2 in/20.8 cm of travel; and an Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with 9.5 in/24.1 cm of rear travel with softer suspension springs for a better ride. With 10.5 in/26.6 cm of ground clearance and 24 in/61 cm tires, the Sportsman 450 H.O. can maneuver over trail obstacles with ease while a new seat with more foam and durable seat base keeps the operator more comfortable.
