ATVs · ACCESSORIES · APPAREL

Slogging through the fog and slop on Duck Opener.

Conquering an endless sea of boulders. Or just coming

around the trail’s bend and discovering a place you never

knew existed.

The places we ride. The experiences we take away. They’re

what shape everything we do.

So when we decided for 2008 to improve upon the already

legendary Sportsman® and introduce the ultra-comfortable,

2-Up Sportsman Touring, it wasn’t just to make our

ATVs better.

It was to make the ride better. Because that’s what making

The World’s Toughest ATVs® is all about.

– ROB GODBY, WEEKDAY WORKER. WEEKEND WARRIOR.

The powerful 800 EFI. The all-around, best-selling 500 EFI. The

feature-packed midsize NEW 400 HO and 300.

It doesn’t matter which Sportsman® you choose, because

we’ve been leading the field and setting the bar that other ATVs

haven’t reached. Each Sportsman boasts the legendary Polaris®

Independent Rear Suspension (IRS). Add to that On-Demand

True AWD and the industry’s best 4-wheel Engine-Braking

System with Active Descent Control, and Sportsman can take

everything you dish out. Without giving you any lip along

the way.

Take the tough Sportsman®, bolt on a massive 800-Twin engine, and you’ve got a

take-no-prisoners powerhouse that delivers monstrous loads of power and torque to get

you up, over, and through anything you put in front of it.

ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)

The Polaris® exclusive fastest-responding AWD automatically engages all four

wheels when you need more forward traction and reverts back to 2WD when

you don’t. Other ATVs use limited-slip, engaging only three wheels.

NOW STANDARD! ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC)

AND ENGINE-BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)

Work together to electronically monitor and control engine braking

to give you optimum control and smooth, even descents.

INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)

The heart of what makes a Sportsman a Sportsman. The rock-solid, proven design

minimizes body roll and keeps the ride smooth.

3-STAR PXT TIRES

Exclusive ¾-inch lug tire-cleaning pattern maximizes traction in mud and on

loose terrain.

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTED (EFI) 800-TWIN ENGINE

Now with 9% more power and 12% more torque. Keeps things

performing at their peak, automatically adjusting to altitude and

air-temperature changes for faster starts, crisper throttle responses,

and better fuel economy.

DUAL EXHAUST

Gives the 800-Twin more torque output, more power, and the deep growl

that every beast needs.

–SEAN MILLER, SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF

“THE BEST ATV TRIP EVER.”

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.

When in 2WD, with a flip of the

VersaTrac Turf Mode switch, you can unlock

the rear differential to reduce steering effort;

create easier, tighter turns; and minimize

damage to sensitive terrain. True AWD keeps

you moving, even in the toughest conditions,

automatically engaging when you need

more forward traction and reverting back to

2WD when you don’t.

ROLLED INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS)

Our legendary Sportsman IRS is angled for an even smoother ride for the

passenger and to reduce squat while accelerating.

And why not? When you build The World’s Toughest ATVs®, you attract quite a few fans. We’ve hooked up

with some big names who rode Polaris ATVs long before partnering with us. They appreciate the quality and

durability in every Polaris® ATV and have inspired us to make them better.

The world’s most respected name in firearms and outdoor gear. From rifles to shotguns, optics to

outerwear, and everything in between, Browning makes the best and partners only with the best.

U.S. MILITARY

The battlefield is the toughest proving ground on earth, and we’re proud that Polaris ATVs are with

our men and women in the field, helping to keep them safe so they can come back home to us.

These cowboys compete head to head in saddle bronc, bareback, and bull riding in the same

night. Which is why they appreciate the predictable, comfortable ride of Polaris ATVs.

OUTLAW 525 S/450 MXR

OUTLAW 525 IRS

PURE™ POLARIS ACCESSORIES AND APPAREL

Anyone who’s ever run the big three terrains knows they’re three

completely different worlds.

That’s why we purpose-built three distinct Outlaw™ models to

perform best in each situation.

The trail-dominating 525 IRS, built to soak up and muscle through

the biggest bumps. Our new 525 S, a straight-axled dune monster.

And our new race-ready rocket, the 450 MXR.

But the best part is, all three Outlaw models come packing heat.

The championship-proven pedigree of a KTM® engine makes them

the fastest-accelerating, most dialed-in line of sport quads ever.

Because that’s what being The World’s Toughest ATVs® is all about.

– J.B. LEACH, ADRENALINE JUNKIE WITH A

SEMIPERMANENT DIRT GOATEE.

Straight-axled, wicked-fast KTM powered outlaws. Two machines, purpose-built for two

distinct uses. In one corner, the NEW 525 S, a serious dune monster built to blow your

buddy off the line and beat him to the top of the hill all day long. In the other corner,

the NEW 450 MXR, a race-ready hired gun packing enough heat to keep people staring

at your taillight from hole shot to checkered flag. It doesn’t matter which one you

choose—either way, you’ll have the fastest-accelerating quad in its class.

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

The industry’s only standard, self-adjusting hydraulic clutch is smooth

and easy to pull, and it never fades.

MAXXIS® TIRES

Pair the ferocious KTM® 525 engine with performance-tuned Independent Rear Suspension

(PRO IRS), and the Outlaw™ 525 IRS lets you take on the roughest trails without hesitation. It’s

the future of the sport. Don’t get left in the dust.

ENGINE

Lightweight with massive midrange torque and roll-on acceleration, the

Motocross and Enduro racing world-champion KTM engine packs the power so

that, when the trail gets rough, you can punch the throttle and muscle through.

GROUND CLEARANCE

With the Pro IRS, an incredible 11 in. (27.9 cm) of ground clearance lets you clear the toughest

obstacles. That’s more than double the clearance of straight-axle quads.

FORGED REAR ALUMINUM A-ARMS AND UPPER CONTROL ARM

5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH REVERSE

roughest terrains.
