2016 Polaris Sportsman XP Stealth Black High Lifter Edition

New to the Big Bore line for 2016, Polaris has partnered with High Lifter to offer two ATVs made for the mud, the Sportsman XP 1000 Stealth Black High Lifter Edition and Sportsman 850 Orange High Lifter Edition. With 85 horsepower and 78 horsepower respectively, the vehicles are not only powerful but the most-affordable mud units in their classes. From the competitive mud racer to the mud enthusiast, both ATVs can be taken from the show room floor right to the ride park for a day of fun in the mud. And with two price points, there is a mudder available for any budget.

Both units have been designed from the ground up to tackle the mud. To ensure the power plants breathe, the units feature shielded high engine air and clutch intake/outlets as well as high mounted vent lines, which are essential for reliable performance. For cooling, both vehicles have been equipped with a relocated, rack-mounted radiator with inverted dual fans, an industry-exclusive design that pulls clean air through the bottom of the radiator for improved cooling and reduced clogging.

For more mud-specific torque, both units are equipped with a High and Low transmission with lower gearing. To put all the power and torque to the ground, the XP 1000 has the Polaris High Performance, Close Ratio Front Drive which provides quicker On-Demand four-wheel drive engagement to handle the toughest mud holes. Riders also will find that both units are designed to tackle the mud with the standard 29.5 in/74.9 cm High Lifter Outlaw II tires and a redesigned suspension featuring stiffer springs for higher ground clearance, exclusive front and rear high-arched, constant radius dual A-arms, and new articulating rear suspension designed to maximize traction in the deepest mud pit. Riders also will appreciate the quick clearing foot wells designed to minimize mud collection to maximize confidence while riding.

The 2016 Sportsman XP 1000 High Lifter Edition is fully-equipped from the factory with custom paint and graphics, aluminum wheels, Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and an industry first handlebar-mounted mud bar to maximize control in the mud. The vehicle also features custom color matched, high-mounted front and rear bumpers, factory-installed Polaris 3,500 lb./1587 kg winch with sealed handlebar switch and front tow hooks.

The 2016 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 Stealth Black High Lifter Edition and 2016 Polaris Sportsman 850 Orange High Lifter Edition join the Big Bore line up which also includes the Sportsman XP 1000, Sportsman 850 SP, Sportsman 850, Scrambler XP 1000 and Scrambler 850. All 850s and 1000s feature 50 percent stronger front half shafts, improved driveline, and a new, high capacity, high-flow air filter for improved air flow and dust filtration to the engine. The Sportsman XP 1000 will be available in Matte Sagebrush Green, Havasu Red Pearl and a fully-featured Hunter Edition with Polaris Pursuit Camo. The Sportsman 850 SP with its EPS, Engine Braking System (EBS) with Active Descent Control (ADC); improved High-Performance Close-Ratio, On-Demand, True AWD System, Paint, and cast aluminum wheels will sport Sunset Red and Titanium Matte Metallic with Velocity Blue.
