2014 Sportsman
New 2014 Sportsman 570
The sportsman 570 features a Pro-Star™ 570 engine with electronic fuel injection
The legendary Sportsman® 500 has been the flagship of the Sportsman line since its introduction in 1996. For Model Year 2014, Polaris is taking its legendary, best-selling 4×4 ATV of all-time and making it better with the launch of the Sportsman® 570 EFI.
The Sportsman 570 EFI takes the best-in-class Sportsman 500 H.O to the next level with the addition of the liquid-cooled, single-cylinder Pro-Star™ 570 engine with electronic fuel injection, better ergonomics for increased comfort, new styling and more convenience features; while still offering the best pricing in its class, $6,499. Along with the base model, Polaris is offering a 1-passenger model with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and a two-passenger model, the Sportsman® Touring 570 EFI, providing a full line of value-priced 500-class ATVs.

For Model Year 2014, Polaris’ Premium line of ATVs, featuring the Sportsman XP 850 H.O and Sportsman 550, will feature EPS as standard on all models. Also, the rear suspension geometry developed originally for the Model Year 2013 Scrambler sport ATV will
be carried across the Sportsman XP 850 and 550 lines. With a 42 percent reduction in track change (also known as scrub) than the previous version, the suspension moves more freely through its range, resulting in a noticeably more compliant ride.
