Polaris makes a damn fine all-terrain vehicle, which is probably why the Sportsman line is the best-selling automatic 4×4 ATV of all time. It doesn’t matter what kind of conditions you plan on using them in, your personal gear and risk appetite are much more likely to reach their breaking points before a Polaris ATV. The Polaris Sportsman® Xp 1000 High Lifter Edition is even better than anything you’ve seen from the brand before because it’s purpose built to dominate the mud. The 952cc engine with a mud specific high and low transmission and gearing makes sure you’ll can get through just about anything with 85 horsepower, 29.5″ High Lifter Outlaw 2 tires, 13.5″ of ground clearance, a shielded clutch and engine intake, 3,500-lb winch and an “industry-first centered handlebar-mounted mud bar.” In other words, Polaris made a badass ATV even more badass.
