Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS ATV (2026) Dump Bed Model

The Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS (2026) is built for riders who need serious hauling capability but still want the manoeuvrability of an ATV. Using the proven 567cc ProStar engine and Polaris’ six-wheel drive platform, this model is designed to move heavy loads across ground where a conventional quad would struggle.

Supplied by Suffolk Mowers, the Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS combines the traction of a six-wheel drivetrain with a large Lock & Ride dumping cargo bed. The result is a machine that sits between a traditional ATV and a side-by-side utility vehicle, offering far greater carrying capacity while remaining narrow enough to travel through fields, woodland tracks and estate access routes.

Heavy-Duty Utility in the Sportsman Range

The Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS is designed for jobs that go beyond the capability of a standard ATV. By combining Polaris’ 567cc ProStar engine with a six-wheel drive chassis and large rear dump bed, this model is built for riders who regularly move heavy loads across farms, estates or woodland ground.

While most Sportsman models focus on trail riding or general utility work, the 6×6 version is built around hauling capacity and traction. The longer chassis and additional axle give the machine far greater stability when carrying equipment or travelling across uneven terrain.

Six-Wheel Drive Traction for Difficult Ground

The defining feature of the Sportsman 6×6 platform is its six-wheel drivetrain. When extra traction is needed, the On-Demand AWD system automatically engages all six wheels to help maintain grip on mud, wet grass or loose surfaces.

This added traction is especially valuable when the cargo bed is fully loaded or when travelling across soft ground where a traditional four-wheel ATV may struggle for grip.

Industry-Leading 800 lb Dumping Cargo Bed

One of the biggest advantages of the Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS is the large Lock & Ride rear dumping cargo bed. With a capacity of up to 800 lb (362 kg), it allows tools, materials and equipment to be transported easily around land or property.

The bed includes Lock & Ride rails and D-rings, making it simple to secure loads safely. For many owners this eliminates the need for a trailer when carrying feed, fencing supplies or maintenance equipment.

Built for Real Work

With a total payload capacity of over 1,100 lb (524 kg), the Sportsman 6×6 570 EPS is designed for demanding tasks. The front rack provides additional space for smaller items while the rear dump bed handles heavier cargo.

A 1.25″ receiver hitch allows the machine to tow trailers or equipment when needed, making it suitable for a wide range of agricultural and estate duties.

Control and Stability When Carrying Loads

Multi-Select Electronic Power Steering (EPS) reduces steering effort and helps absorb feedback from rough ground. This is particularly useful when the cargo bed is loaded, as it helps keep the machine easier to handle at slower working speeds.

Engine Braking System (EBS) and Active Descent Control (ADC) also assist when travelling downhill. These systems allow the engine to help slow the ATV when descending slopes, providing additional control when carrying cargo or towing equipment.

Durability for Everyday Use

The Sportsman 6×6 is built to operate in demanding environments. Front and rear A-arm guards protect suspension components when travelling through rough terrain, while LED headlights improve visibility when working early mornings or late evenings.

The 11.5 inch ground clearance and independent suspension help the machine travel confidently across ruts, tracks and uneven ground while maintaining stability even when loaded.

Where the 6×6 Model Fits in the Polaris Lineup

Within the Sportsman range, the 6×6 570 EPS is the most work-focused model. Standard Sportsman 570 ATVs are designed primarily for solo work or trail riding, while the Touring models focus on carrying a passenger comfortably.

The 6×6 version instead prioritises load capacity and traction, offering a practical alternative for riders who need more carrying capability but still prefer the narrower width and manoeuvrability of an ATV rather than a full Ranger side-by-side vehicle.
