Polaris Sportsman X2 570 EPS Base (2026) ATV

Polaris Sportsman X2 570 EPS Base (2026) takes the proven 570 platform and turns it into a compact utility machine with genuine carrying capacity. You still get the 567cc ProStar engine and on-demand AWD system, but this model adds a gas-assisted dump box, factory-fitted winch and convertible 2-up seating.

If you’re weighing up a standard Sportsman 570 EPS against something more work-focused, the X2 570 EPS Base is the step into proper load-carrying ability without jumping to a full-size UTV. At Suffolk Mowers, this model suits buyers who want one machine that can tow, carry and still handle tight access routes.

What makes the Sportsman X2 570 EPS different?

The Polaris Sportsman X2 570 EPS Base isn’t just a 570 with a second seat. The chassis is built around a rear dumping bed, giving it genuine load-carrying ability rather than relying purely on racks. It keeps the narrow 48" stance of the standard Sportsman models, but adds a different level of practicality.

Proper rear dump box – not just a rack

• 400 lb (181 kg) gas-assisted dumping bed for feed, fencing gear, logs or tools
• Tie-down rails and Lock & Ride integration for secure loads
• Quick conversion between cargo mode and passenger mode

This is the main reason buyers choose the X2 over the standard Sportsman 570 or 570 EPS. If you regularly carry bulky items rather than strap them down, the bed changes how you use the machine.

Convertible 2-up seating

The pop-up passenger seat allows you to carry a second rider when needed, then fold it away to maximise cargo space. For estates, farms and shoot days, that flexibility is often the deciding factor.

Control when loaded

• Multi-Select Electronic Power Steering (EPS) reduces steering effort, especially when carrying weight.
• Engine Braking System (EBS) improves control when backing off downhill.
• Active Descent Control (ADC) adds further confidence on slopes with a loaded bed.
• 3,500 lb winch fitted as standard for recovery or pulling duties.

Compared to the standard Sportsman 570 EPS, the X2 570 EPS Base feels more planted when working with weight on board.

Who this model is built for

• Small farms and estates needing a compact load carrier that still fits narrow gateways.
• Grounds and property maintenance teams moving tools and materials regularly.
• Buyers considering a small UTV but wanting something more agile and easier to store.

How it compares within the range

Against the standard Sportsman 570 or 570 EPS, the X2 570 EPS Base adds the dump box and convertible seating — making it a more utility-focused choice.

If you want additional trim upgrades beyond this, the Sportsman X2 570 EPS SP Black Edition moves further with upgraded suspension, tyres and cosmetic detailing for tougher terrain and longer working hours.

Work-ready details worth noting

• 90 lb (41 kg) front rack capacity with extender
• 6.75 gallon (25.5 L) fuel tank for longer runs between refills
• 5 gallon front dry storage compartment
• LED lighting package with integrated indicators
• PIN-Activated Security System (P.A.S.S.)
• Standard 1.25" receiver hitch

The Sportsman X2 570 EPS Base (2026) sits between a traditional quad and a full UTV. It keeps the handling and access advantages of a 48" wide ATV while adding the load capacity many working users eventually need.
