Rode the base model half-liter ATVs and felt there was something missing? The 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. may have just the right recipe to make you smile: a half-liter high output engine which brings together middleweight sizing and uncompromised performance. Farming, ranching, plain off-road fun or working in the wilderness, you name it and this machine will deliver: on-demand AWD, independent rear suspensions, a generous ground clearance and easy-to-use automatic transmission with parking mode, all to help you get the job done.

Powerful hydraulic disk brakes ensure firm, predictable stopping power for increased confidence when things start rolling a bit too fast, while massive racking and towing capacities make sure even the most demanding outdoor tasks can be carried out with ease. A front storage box is provides a nifty place for personal gear or tools, enhancing the convenience of riding this ATV.
