Engineered by Polaris for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2011 Polaris Sportsman 550 EPS relies on a 549 cc (33.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Sportsman 550 EPS measures 249.5 kg (550 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 940 mm (37 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,346 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
