Positioned in Polaris's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI pairs a 760 cc (46.4 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54 HP (39.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 71.1 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Sportsman 800 EFI measures 336.1 kg (741 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.22 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 857 mm (33.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,283 mm (50.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15.5-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
