Polaris SPORTSMAN 570 EPS (2026) builds on the standard 570 platform by adding Multi-Select Electronic Power Steering and Engine Braking System for greater control and reduced rider fatigue. It keeps the same 567cc ProStar engine, AWD system and work-ready chassis, but feels noticeably lighter and more planted in day-to-day use.
If you’re comparing the Sportsman 570 range, this is the trim most working riders step up to. At Suffolk Mowers, the Sportsman 570 EPS tends to suit buyers who spend longer hours in the saddle or regularly tow and work on uneven ground.
Why choose the Sportsman 570 EPS over the standard 570?
The Polaris SPORTSMAN 570 EPS takes everything that makes the base Sportsman 570 popular and adds two features that genuinely change how it feels to ride: Electronic Power Steering and Engine Braking System. The engine, chassis, towing and rack capacities remain the same — the difference is in control and rider effort.
Multi-Select Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
The biggest upgrade over the standard Sportsman 570 is EPS. On paper it sounds simple. In real use, it means:
- Less steering effort when manoeuvring in yards and tight gateways
- Reduced kickback through the handlebars on rough ground
- Less fatigue over long days checking stock or towing
If you’ve ever wrestled a non-assisted quad at low speed with a loaded trailer, you’ll understand why many buyers move straight to the Sportsman 570 EPS rather than the base model.
Engine Braking System (EBS)
EBS adds controlled deceleration through the drivetrain when you roll off the throttle. That matters when:
- Descending slopes with a trailer attached
- Working on uneven farmland or woodland tracks
- You want the machine to feel settled rather than free-rolling
This is one of those features that doesn’t look dramatic on a spec sheet but makes the ATV feel more controlled in real working conditions.
Same core platform – proven capability
Underneath the added steering and braking control, the Sportsman 570 EPS keeps the same foundation as the standard 570:
- 567cc ProStar EFI engine delivering smooth, consistent power
- Automatic PVT transmission with high and low range for controlled towing
- One-touch On-Demand AWD/2WD for changing ground conditions
- 1228 lb (557 kg) towing capacity with 1.25" receiver hitch
- Combined 123 kg rack capacity for tools, feed or fencing supplies
- 48" width that works well in restricted access areas
Who the 570 EPS is really for
- Farm and estate users who are in and out of tight spaces all day.
- Owners towing regularly who want better downhill control and less steering strain.
- Riders moving up from older non-EPS quads who want modern handling without jumping to higher trims.
Where it sits in the Sportsman 570 range
The Sportsman 570 EPS sits directly above the standard Sportsman 570. If you’re happy without power steering, the base model keeps things simpler. If you want lighter steering and improved control on descents, the 570 EPS is the logical step.
Above this, the Sportsman 570 EPS Deluxe and Sportsman 570 EPS SP introduce further handling, driveline or trim upgrades for buyers who want additional refinement beyond steering assistance.
Work-ready details that matter
- Lock & Ride-compatible 5-gallon front dry storage
- Front rack extender included
- Winch mount ready from factory
- LED lighting package with integrated indicators
- PIN-Activated Security System (P.A.S.S.)
Like the standard model, the Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS is built around practical use rather than showroom extras. The difference is that it’s easier to live with over longer working days.
