- SMOOTH & STRONG RIDE: The 450 H.O. looks good, performs better and packs more value than ever before.

- CLASS-LEADING 9.5” OF TRAVEL & SEALED BUSHINGS: No one can match our suspension with a class-leading 9.5” of rear travel and sealed bushings for smoother suspension travel and reduced maintenance.
- CLASS-LEADING 11.5” GROUND CLEARANCE: Travel smoothly through rough terrain with the commendable suspension and ground clearance of the Sportsman 450 H.O.
