Features
- SMOOTHEST: Legendary Sportsman suspension delivers smoothest ride to absorb bumps of all sizes. The industry’s fastest engaging on demand all-wheel drive system & increased class-leading ground clearance gives more traction & rides over even bigger obstacles.
- STRONGEST: Stronger, quieter, and more durable. A new battery with easy charging access ensures reliable starts. New sealed suspension bushings stay smooth, quiet and cut down maintenance. And larger 25” tires have been beefed up to 6-ply construction.
- MOST VERSATILE: More accomplished than ever before with best-in-class integrated storage, an increased 1,350 lb. towing capacity, a combined 270 lb. rack capacity, and all new accessories. This machine boasts the most ease of use yet, still for the value-price you expect.
- SMOOTHER & STRONGER RIDE: The new 450 H.O. looks good, performs better and packs more value than ever before.
- TRUE ON-DEMAND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE: Many ATVs claim to have four-wheel-drive but only ours can sense the slightest wheel spin and automatically deliver power to the wheels for traction.
- CLASS-LEADING 9.5” OF TRAVEL & SEALED BUSHINGS: No one can match our suspension with a class-leading 9.5” of front travel and new sealed bushings for smoother suspension travel and reduced maintenance.
- CLASS-LEADING 11.5” GROUND CLEARANCE: Travel even more rough terrain. Smooth it with our suspension or ride over the big stuff with the increased ground clearance of the Sportsman 450 H.O.
- LARGER 25” 6-PLY TIRES: Ride over obstacles with more confidence, additional traction and greater clearance with 25” tires and puncture-resistant 6-ply sidewalls.
- INCREASED 1,350 LB TOWING CAPACITY: Never satisfied with good enough, we boosted the towing capability of the new 450 H.O. so you can hook-up and tow even bigger loads with confidence.
- STRENGTH & PRICE MATTER: When you have a reputation of strength and toughness you need to back it up. The new 450 H.O. is now stronger and more durable than ever before.
- MORE POWERFUL BATTERY & EASY ACCESS CHARGING: 78% more cold-cranking amps for more guaranteed starts. And when you store for longer, the new in-pod mounted battery charging port offers additional protection.
- HERO STATUS COMES STANDARD: Underneath the new look, you’ll still find the heart and soul of a Sportsman. Smart integration, can-do capability, and hundreds of accessories to make it your own.
- CLASS LEADING STORAGE: Stow your tools, water jug and spare riding gear all within easy reach and security of the best-in-class 8-gallons of integrated storage.
- EASIEST TO USE: We set the bar with industry firsts like single-lever braking, automatic CVTs, automatic engaging AWD and integrated EBS for the most seamless ride.
- EASIER ACCESSORY INSTALLATION: Convenience goes beyond standard on the 450 H.O., we also made it easier to add with a pre-wired, plug & play harness for a winch, plow or hand warmers.
