As its very name says, the 2012 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. is an ATV equipped with a high output engine and designed to provide safe and reliable transportation across areas of rough, uneven terrain, on both sealed and unpaved roads and forest trails. Engineered to never let the rider down, this quad comes with an on-demand AWD system which engages the 4WD when needed, returning to RWD as the obstacles are surmounted.

Strong skid plates shield the 2012 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. from rocks and bumps, while the strong hydraulic disk brakes and steel-braided lines ensure firm, dependable stopping power. A front storage box is fitted as standard, and multiple accessories can expand the functionality of this ATV.
