Polaris Sportsman 570 (2026) 567cc AWD ATV

Polaris SPORTSMAN 570 (2026) is the entry point into the Sportsman 570 line-up, built around the proven 567cc ProStar engine and Polaris’ on-demand AWD system. It keeps things simple: strong towing, proper rack capacity and a narrow 48-inch stance that works just as well around buildings as it does on rough ground.

If you want the core Sportsman platform without stepping into EPS or higher-spec trims, this is it. At Suffolk Mowers, the Sportsman 570 suits riders who value reliability and straight-forward mechanical setup over added steering assistance or extra trim features.

Why people buy the Sportsman 570 (base)

The Sportsman 570 is chosen by buyers who want a capable, modern ATV for towing and rack work, but don’t want to pay for features they won’t use. You still get the same fundamentals that make the 570 platform popular: a smooth EFI engine, on-demand AWD for traction when conditions turn, and a chassis that stays manageable in tight places.

Best known for: strong work capability in a narrow ATV

• 48″ width makes a genuine difference if you’re dealing with gateways, woodland tracks, stable yards, or narrow farm access.
• 1228 lb towing and proper rack ratings give confidence for day-to-day hauling and shifting kit.
• 11.5″ ground clearance and independent rear suspension help it ride cleanly over ruts without beating you up.

Who it suits

• Smallholders and estates who need a dependable “do-it-all” quad for towing, moving feed, checking stock, and general property work.
• Leisure riders who want the Sportsman platform and its traction system, but prefer a simpler trim without added electronics.
• Owners replacing an older work quad who want modern fuel injection, stronger lighting, and secure storage without jumping straight to higher trims.

The real strengths (and what’s deliberately kept simple)

The big selling point here is that it gives you the core Sportsman 570 platform without extra trim complexity. That matters if you’re the type of owner who wants predictable running costs and a straightforward setup.

• EFI ProStar single-cylinder engine (567cc) for consistent starting and smooth power delivery.
• One-touch on-demand AWD/2WD so you can run 2WD when ground is firm and call AWD in when it gets slippery.
• Automatic PVT transmission with high/low and reverse for controlled work speed when towing or climbing.
• No EPS on this trim — that’s the main difference versus the Sportsman 570 EPS. Some buyers see that as less comfort in tight steering situations; others like the simpler spec and feel.

Useful built-in details that buyers often miss

• Lock & Ride 5-gallon front dry storage for tools, straps, and essentials you don’t want exposed on racks.
• Front rack extender for carrying awkward loads more securely.
• Winch mount included — worth having even if you don’t fit a winch on day one.
• LED lighting with integrated indicators for clearer visibility and a cleaner road-style setup where required.
