The 2011 Polaris Sportsman X2 550 is built for both work and play and it can switch between the two in just 10 seconds thanks to a 3-step convertible system. When riding two-up your pillion will feel comfortable with the generous tall backrest, while hauling large loads and voluminous gear will also be a breeze, as the spacious rear cargo box which can accommodate weights up to 180 kg.

This versatile quad comes with a punchy half-liter class engine, coupled to an automatic transmission, with on-demand AWD, active descent control and engine braking, for passing over obstacles more easily, no matter whether we're thinking about ditches or slippery, loose surfaces. And when in 2WD, the VersaTracTurf mode unlocks the rear differential to minimize damage to sensitive terrain, making this ATV suitable for even more tasks, where most others would fail.
