The
Sportsman 6x6 is at home on the job, on the trail, or hunting.
A
new member to the Polaris Sportsman family of vehicles, the
Sportsman 6x6 has impressive cargo capacity, towing strength, true
6-wheel drive traction, Polaris 500 power, and now it has the
Concentric Drive System to fully utilize all its muscle. The
Polaris Concentric Drive System (CDS) aligns the swing arm’s
pivot point with the center of the drive sprocket, resulting in a
consistently efficient delivery of power to the wheels. The rear
suspension is not affected by engine torque, and the CDS maintains
a consistent chain tension at all times, reducing chain wear and
decreasing the need for chain adjustment or maintenance. The
Sportsman 6x6 has a Polaris 500 4-valve, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled
engine with advanced dry sump lubrication system. Electric start is
standard, as is the automatic PVT (Polaris Variable Transmission),
which requires no shifting and delivers the proper power to the
wheels in all conditions, including hauling or towing loads or
riding across a rugged work site. The transmission is dual-sensing,
so it responds to both engine RPM and vehicle torque load for
cooler operation and superior backshifting. The Sportsman 6x6 can
provide additional traction with its Polaris-exclusive true
6-wheel-drive.
Only Polaris offers such effective 6-wheel-drive,
which senses when the rear wheels lose traction, then automatically
engages the front wheels with full torque. A thumb switch by the
right handgrip lets the driver quickly and easily move between
4-wheel drive and On-Demand true 6-wheel drive while riding. E-Z
shift allows a driver to choose the desired gear range: high or low
forward or reverse. MacPherson strut front suspension provides 6.7
inches of travel. The rear suspension consists of a center swing
arm and a rear swing arm with a scissor stabilizer and 7.5 inches
of travel.
Braking is supplied by the single-lever all-wheel
hydraulic disc brakes and the hydraulic auxiliary hand brake.
The
Sportsman 6x6 can haul cargo on its front rack (75-pound capacity)
or in its new molded rear cargo box. The 800-pound-capacity box
won’t rust or show chipped paint, and it has a fold-down
tailgate to making loading and unloading easy. The Sportsman 6x6
also has a tow hitch and a 1,225-pound towing capacity. Two
grille-mounted quartz halogen lights are standard, as are the
speedometer, odometer, fuel tank. |
