Available in Orange Madness, the 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. LE brings the strength of the carbureted high-output engine to the off-road play. With accessory engine braking for trough slopes and on-demand AWD, this ATV provides increased traction when needed: it automatically engages 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.
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, the2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. LE is a great choice for those in search of well-equipped half-liter class machines, which come with both power and looks.
