| ATV Polaris Polaris lines up 2018 models Polaris has lined up an extensive and impressive range of UTVs and ATVs for 2018. tarting with the world’s best selling Sportsman ATVs, there are few if any to match the off- road abilities these Polaris machines have to offer.

A long- time favourite, the Sportsman is thoroughly at home negotiating the toughest terrain while providing the rider with an ergonomic, all-round work horse.

It’s designed for getting two people who need to work together into and out of the most inaccessible areas and safely down the steepest inclines, with optimum traction and control in all conditions. For those of you looking for more power from your ATV, consider the Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 with its 952cc Prostar engine producing 90hp at 7,250 rpm. That is a massive amount of power in a quad and this Polaris has a 261kg payload capacity while featuring EPS, EBS and ADC. It also shares with the rest of the Sportsman range the facility for masses of storage space, with Polaris Lock & Ride, and a comprehensive choice of accessories. The Polaris Ranger has been S largely responsible for leading the charge in the rapid development of the side by side utility 4x4 vehicle market in the UK.
