2012 Polaris Sportsman Touring 550 EPS Review
Sportsman® Touring 550 EPS - Most Comfortable 2-Up ATV
The Sportsman® Touring 550 EPS is the most comfortable 2-Up ATV in its class. Electronic Power Steering, spring-mounted passenger seat, large front storage box, everything about this machine is built for ultimate driver and passenger comfort for the long haul.
Highlights
- The 550 engine delivers smooth, efficient 2-Up touring power.
- Comfort Ride Seat Suspension™, the ultimate passenger seat.
- Rolled IRS has 10.25” travel, angled shocks for smooth ride.
- Active Descent Control and Engine Braking System.
- For cold-weather riding, add a pair of heated hand grips for your passenger to make sure they can keep enjoying the trails in comfort in cooler weather.
- Two lights are located in the front bumper and one mounted in the handlebar pod. Maximize your lighting with the ability to have all three on at once for 150 W of power.
Key Features:
FIRST-EVER SEAT SUSPENSION
The exclusive Comfort Ride Seat Suspension™ features a spring beneath the passenger seat, adding another 1" of travel to the 10.25" of travel on the legendary Polaris IRS. Our IRS is angled rearward for even greater comfort and to reduce squat while accelerating.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING
The smoothest, most responsive power steering available. Plus Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds. Our EPS let's you ride all day with less fatigue from steering.
LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED IRS
Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for 10.25" of travel leading to a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.
ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT
With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrow vehicle width at the knees and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.
ANTI-KICKBACK STEERING
Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tire and having the long Dual A-Arm Front Suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts to the handlebars from trail and ground obstacle
LOCK & RIDE® PASSENGER HAND GRIPS
These unique hand grips go on and off in seconds, giving you the flexibility of having grips available for the passenger when needed, or removing them when needing to use the back rack for one-up riding or strapping down equipment and gear.
UNRIVALED 550 ENGINE
The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 550 engine delivers smooth, efficient power and plenty of it for working, hunting and trail riding.
ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE
Still the best automatic 4x4 system out there, the AWD engages all four tires when the rear wheels slip and you need more forward traction. Reverts back to 2WD when you don't.
ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)
Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15 mph).
STANDARD FRONT STORAGE AND ACCESSORY REAR BOX
Large front storage has 8.2 gallons of capacity. For more storage, remove the passenger seat and Lock & Ride® hand grips and replace it with an optional Lock & Ride accessory box with 2.5-gallon capacity.
HIGH CAPACITY, HIGH-MOUNTED RADIATOR
The radiator is raised high to keep it out of the mud. It's large surface area provides more cooling capacity to your machine. And with removable Lock & Ride® front rack, it's easily accessible and easier to clean.
