Sportsman® Line -- Recreational and utility riders will continue to enjoy the Sportsman line with its legendary ride and handling. For Polaris' one-up recreation and utility offering, the legendary Sportsman line has been improved and simplified. All fuel injected Sportsman models come standard with engine braking (EBS), Active Descent Control (ADC), and some are painted in a variety of new and appealing colors. The Sportsman 800 EFI returns with 10 percent more power, standard dual exhaust, improved throttle and clutching response, and is painted, while The Sportsman 500 H.O. returns for 2008 as the best-value 500 on the market at $5,999, $500 less than its 1996 introductory MSRP. For the customer that wants the Sportsman legendary ride and handling in a mid-size package, Polaris introduced the Sportsman 400 H.O. and the Sportsman 300.

 Sportsman Touring -- With the 2-Up market continuing to grow, Polaris introduced the Sportsman 800 EFI Touring and the Sportsman 500 EFI Touring for 2008. The Touring models offer more passenger room, along with better ergonomics and value than the competition. Additional features include a larger and taller backrest for the passenger, dual cup holders, soft, vibration-absorbing hand holds and adjustable, vibration-absorbing foot wells making them "The World's Most Comfortable ATVs."
