Polaris Sportsman 450 H.O. is the new star
Take the power and performance of the Polaris ProStar engine delivering 31hp. Wrap around it the new Sportsman 450 H.O. and you have a full-size capability ATV at a 400cc class, entry-level price.
The Sportsman 450 H.O. is the new star of the Polaris Sportsman range, featuring Polaris’ legendary automatic 4×4 system with On-Demand, True All-Wheel Drive which engages all four wheels when you need more traction and reverts back to 2WD when you don’t. For a smoother ride there is the proven MacPherson Strut front suspension with 8.2in/20.8cm of travel and Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with softer suspension springs for a better ride. Manoeuvring over obstacles is made easier with 10.5in/26.6cm of ground clearance and the Sportsman 450 H.O. benefits from a new style seat with more foam and a durable base to keep your ride more comfortable.
Storage is all-important with any hard working ATV and the new Polaris has a 180lbs/81.6 kg capacity rear steel rack and 90lbs/40.8kg front rack that is Lock & Ride compatible along with 1225lbs/557.7kg of towing capacity. The front storage capacity allows you to stow away loads of gear and still have access to it, even with items tied to the deck.
To run more electrical accessories the vehicle has a 660 watt output and comes with industry-exclusive integrated plough and winch mounts. For working in high dust areas a high-flow, high capacity air filter provides better dust filtration, while Electronic Fuel Injection provides flawless starting and smooth running in varied temperature and altitude. Braking is made easy with a single lever hydraulic disc system for all-wheel braking and a foot brake for rear wheel braking.
Also a key feature is the Polaris PVT Automatic Transmission which allows you to easily shift between High, Low, Neutral, Reverse and Park. The new Sportsman 450 H.O. comes in sage green and with its long list of features for 2016 is certainly a new star in the rising.
