Built around Polaris's atv motorcycle platform, the 2014 Polaris Sportsman Touring 550 EPS features a 549 cc (33.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration.
On the scales, the Sportsman Touring 550 EPS measures 348 kg (767 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 908 mm (35.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,348 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19.87-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
