The 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. LE brings exclusive, photo-realistic Pursuit Camo graphics, updated Kenda tires and the acclaimed engine braking system, helping the rider get past difficult terrain easier and safer. A nifty match for the engine braking, the on-demand AWD system provides increased traction when needed, automatically engaging the front wheel drive on slippery, unstable surfaces, or when bigger bumps or steeper gradients are encountered, reverting to RWD as obstacles are surmounted, no user action needed.
Powerful hydraulic disk brakes with steel-braided lines ensure firm, predictable stopping power for increased confidence, while massive racking and towing capacities make sure even the most demanding outdoor tasks can be carried out with ease. Perfect for both heavy-duty work and for off-road exploration, the 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. LE is a great choice for those in search of well-equipped half-liter class machines.
