The Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up (2026) is built for riders who want the practicality of a mid-size ATV with the ability to carry a passenger when needed. Powered by the proven 567cc ProStar engine, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up delivers smooth torque, strong towing ability and the compact 48-inch width that makes it easy to manoeuvre around farms, estates and woodland tracks.
What sets the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2 Up apart from the standard Sportsman 570 models is its removable passenger seat with backrest and handholds, allowing you to switch between solo work and two-person riding. With Multi-Select EPS, Engine Braking System and Polaris’ On-Demand AWD system, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up offers the control and confidence many buyers expect from a working ATV, whether towing equipment or heading out across rough ground.
Why Choose the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up
The Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up is one of the most practical machines in the Sportsman range because it combines a compact mid-size ATV with the ability to safely carry a passenger. While many ATVs are designed for a single rider, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up gives landowners, farmers and estate managers the flexibility to travel together when the job requires it.
The removable passenger seat means the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2 Up can quickly switch between two-person riding and traditional ATV duties. When the seat is removed, you regain valuable rack space for tools, feed, fencing equipment or other cargo.
Proven 567cc ProStar Engine
The Sportsman 570 platform is powered by Polaris’ well-established 567cc ProStar engine. This engine has built a reputation for dependable power delivery and easy starting thanks to electronic fuel injection.
For many buyers, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up sits in the ideal power bracket. It offers enough torque for towing and everyday work without the extra size and fuel consumption that can come with larger 1000cc ATVs.
- 567cc ProStar single-cylinder engine
- Smooth and predictable throttle response
- Electronic fuel injection for reliable starting
- Well suited to towing trailers and carrying loads
Multi-Select Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
Electronic Power Steering is one of the most requested features on working ATVs, and the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up includes Polaris’ Multi-Select EPS system. This reduces steering effort when riding through mud, ruts or uneven ground and helps minimise rider fatigue during long working days.
For farmers and estate workers who spend hours on an ATV, EPS can make a noticeable difference to comfort and control.
Engine Braking System for Descents
The Engine Braking System (EBS) helps maintain control when travelling downhill or when towing. By using engine compression to slow the ATV, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up reduces reliance on the brakes when descending slopes or carrying loads.
This feature is particularly useful when operating on uneven terrain or when towing trailers across fields and tracks.
Compact Size with Serious Capability
The Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up keeps the manageable size that has made the Sportsman 570 platform popular with farms and estates. At 48 inches wide, it can pass through many gates and narrow tracks that larger machines struggle with.
- 48″ width for narrow access points
- 11.5″ ground clearance to handle ruts and obstacles
- Independent rear suspension for improved ride comfort
- 557 kg towing capacity for trailers and equipment
- 123 kg combined rack capacity
This balance of size and strength is why many buyers choose the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up as an everyday working ATV.
Built for Work with Lock & Ride Accessories
The Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up is compatible with Polaris Lock & Ride accessories, allowing owners to quickly add equipment to suit different jobs.
Common additions include:
- Winch kits
- Front snow ploughs
- Rear cargo boxes
- Gun racks
- Heated grips and handguards
The factory winch mount included on the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up makes it easier to install a winch when required.
Where the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up Sits in the Range
Within the Polaris Sportsman lineup, the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up offers more flexibility than the standard single-seat Sportsman 570 and Sportsman 570 EPS models.
Buyers who regularly carry a passenger may also consider the Sportsman Touring 570 EPS, which uses a larger touring chassis for improved passenger comfort. However, many owners prefer the Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up because it keeps the smaller, more manoeuvrable Sportsman platform.
For those wanting greater power and a wider stance, Polaris also offers the Sportsman XP 1000 and Sportsman XP 1000 S models further up the range.
If you are looking for a dependable mid-size ATV that can handle everyday work while still carrying a passenger when required, the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS 2-Up is one of the most balanced machines available.
