This is so important when riding aggressively with an engine that has the performance to scoot down the trail quickly. Both suspension setups also were predictable when cornering even at higher speeds. The ride on all Sportsman 570 models with different front suspension setups was really good, smooth, and comfortable. All models come with 9.5-inches of rear travel courtesy of dual-arms. On the premium Trail models, you get 8.9-inches of travel with dual-arms. On the base and EPS models, the front suspension comes with the tried-and-true MacPherson Strut setup with 8.2-inches of travel. The suspension comes in two forms and I like both. The entire time of riding I was truly blown away by the engine! The CVT engagement is spot on for either kind of riding. What is nice about this engine is you can ride it leisurely, or you can ride it like you stole it with the engine being able to do both. My 2005 Sportsman 800 has right around that same amount of horsepower to give a little perspective on the power Polaris is getting out of this Prostar engine. The single-cylinder 570 engine has 44 horsepower, which is a bunch. The 570 engine has a ton of power and you can feel that torque and engine response right away with a blip of the throttle. Cranking it and hitting the trail brought one thing to mind right away.

It is a comfortable ATV that is full size and will accommodate any rider. Climbing aboard the Sportsman 570 just feels right in the way you sit on it. I can tell you after all these facts and figures that the Sportsman 570 is well equipped, looks good, and performs well.įacts and figures are one thing, but how it actually performs is where it is at. All racks have metal extenders, tires come standard at 25-inches and 6-ply, towing has been increased to 1350LBS, ground clearance has increased to 11.5-inches, and the clothing on EBS models has been tweaked for a more natural engagement for riding. In addition the battery has 78-percent more cold cranking amps. The battery has been relocated to the front rack, which is a big plus, and there is a charging port for a battery charger right in the new redesigned pod. I like the look with it being rather bold and sleek. At first glance there is undoubtedly a new look to this year’s Sportsman that resembles its 8 Sportsman siblings, though the chassis and build is completely different. The 2021 Sportsman sees a complete makeover with a new platform.

The Sportsman 570 has been around for several years now with the 567cc engine putting it in the very popular center of the ATV market segment of the 500-class ATV. This is the battery charging port on all Sportsman 570. Yes, it is capable, yes it is comfortable, yes it can do work, but between the power and suspension along with the power steering, it is just so much fun to ride. What stuck out in my mind after riding it for a while over some forested trails was how much fun it was the ride, and I kept choosing to go back and ride the 570 over the more powerful Sportsman 850 and several of Polaris’ side-by-sides just because it was so much fun. On a recent trip to Polaris headquarters, I had the opportunity to learn first hand about the new 2020 Polaris Sportsman 570 complete with the more important opportunity to ride the new Sportsman 570. The completely redesigned 2020 Sportsman 570 is all of those things including a lot of fun the ride. If you are an adventure rider and hit to the trails to explore what is on those trails, you want an ATV that is comfortable, capable, and fun to ride. In those moments an ATV should be fun to ride.


2021 Polaris Sportsman 570 First Ride Review- New & FunĪn ATV should be fun to ride! Sure, there are many (myself included) who use an ATV to get the job done, but… there are times we still want to throw it into a corner and accelerate out with a power slide, or push that throttle on a long straight away.
