Polaris has taken the covers off of two new Sportsman Limited Edition ATVs – the Sportsman XP 1000 LE, Sportsman 570 EPS LE, along with the Sportsman 450 H.O. EPS.

Each Sportsman Limited Edition model is outfitted with premium accessory combinations and new graphics for 2018, while the new Sportsman 450 H.O. EPS has a new Ghost Gray color option.

“We take great pride in addressing what consumers desire in our Sportsman ATV vehicles and going beyond the call to ensure each upgrade continues to raise the bar,” said Roger Hapka, Vice President, Off-Road Vehicles. “With each new offering, we are working to ensure our vehicles provide consumers with the ultimate riding experience.”

Here is how Polaris describes its three new ATV models:
