In 1985 Polaris created one of the first American four wheeled ATV's with the introduction of the Trailboss. Since the first ATV rolled off the assembly line, Polaris has remained one of the top selling brands. Polaris introduced the Sportsman Line in 1993 but the 1995 Polaris Sportsman 500 was the first to offer (IRS) or Independent Rear Suspension. When Polaris replaced the standard solid rear axle with the IRS setup they created a whole new genre of ATV enthusiast. Polaris has used there flagship Sportsman line to launch many ATV industry firsts to meet the demands that aggressive 4x4 ATV riders required from their machines. The 2005 Polaris 700 Sportsman was the first ATV offered in (EFI) Electronic Fuel Injection. With EFI you don't need to change jets for high elevation and cold starts no longer drain your battery. The Polaris Sportsman was also the first to offer (EBS) Engine Braking System. Polaris used the torque of the motor to slow the ATV on steep downhill descents by keeping the clutch engaged. EBS provided better stopping power on steep grades without wearing out the brake pads. The Polaris Sportsman was also the first ATV equipped with a Locking Differential which allowed better control, fuel milage and less wear on parts when 4wd was not necessary. In 2010 (EPS) electronic power-steering was added as an option making long rides more comfortable. It is no wonder why the Sportsman is one of the most popular ATV's on the market today with all the innovation that is found in it's heritage. We can't wait to see what the future hold for the Polaris Sportsman line.
