2013 Polaris Sportsman® 500 H.O.

Hardest Working

• On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive (AWD): True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2WD when you don’t. Other ATVs use a limited-slip differential, engaging only three wheels.
• Sportsman 500 H.O. Best-Selling Automatic 4X4 ATV*: With its legendary smooth Sportsman ride and long list of distinctive Polaris features, the Sportsman 500 H.O. is a great value. No wonder it’s still the best-selling automatic 4x4 ATV of all time.
• Aggressive Design With Lock & Ride: A new, more aggressive body style gives the Sportsman an intimidating look and clear sight lines for the driver. Integrated front storage and Lock & Ride compatible rear rack make it easy to carry gear.
• Integrated Front Storage: The most integrated storage of any ATV. The 6.5 gallon capacity lets you stow-away loads of gear and still have access to it, even with items tied to the deck.
• Raised Radiator Placement: Radiator is mounted 3 inches higher in the chassis an angled rearward to keep it out of mud and you on the trail longer.
• Big Towing Power: The Sportsman lives up to its hard working reputation with a 1,225 lb. towing capacity, so you can tow trailers loaded with material and equipment.

Smoothest Riding

• High Ground Clearance: A full 11.25 inches of obstacle-clearing ground clearance lets you tackle some of the tougher terrain that comes your way.
• Legendary Smooth Independent Rear Suspension (IRS): The Sportsman was the world’s first ATV with IRS, a feature that made it as popular as it is today. Its rock-solid design has 9.5 inches of travel to minimize body roll and keep the ride smooth.
