We couldn’t find a better ATV to handle,
and neither will you. Just turn the key,
push the throttle and go.
You don't have to do the shifting
because it’s automatic with the Polaris
Variable Transmission (PVT). You can
stop with just one hand, thanks to a
hydraulic braking system that slows all
wheels evenly. And the Polaris ATV’s can
turn on a dime.
