2010 · ATV
The 2010 Polaris Sportsman 850 Touring arrived as a formidable contender in the ATV segment, building upon Polaris's established reputation for robust utility and recreational vehicles. This model year represented a refinement of the Sportsman platform, aiming to provide a comfortable and capable two-up riding experience. In its class, it squared off directly against machines like the Can-Am Outlander MAX 800R and the Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000, offering a compelling package for riders seeking both power and passenger accommodation.
At the heart of the 2010 Sportsman 850 Touring lies its substantial 850.00 ccm (51.87 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This power plant was designed to deliver strong torque for tackling challenging terrain and hauling loads. Despite its robust engine, the ATV carries a considerable dry weight of 362.0 kg (798.0 pounds), underscoring its heavy-duty construction. Fuel capacity is generous at 17.03 litres (4.50 gallons), allowing for extended excursions without frequent refueling stops. This combination of engine size and fuel capacity made it a practical choice for longer rides and demanding tasks.
Riding the Sportsman 850 Touring offers a commanding and generally comfortable experience. The seat height is specified at 908 mm (35.7 inches) at its lowest adjustable setting, providing a good vantage point for navigating trails. Its ATV classification means it's built for off-road prowess, featuring a suspension setup designed to absorb bumps and irregularities. The two-up touring designation implies a focus on passenger comfort, often incorporating a padded backrest and grab handles for the rear rider. Despite its weight, the power from the 850cc engine ensures it feels responsive on the throttle, making for confident trail riding.
The 2010 Polaris Sportsman 850 Touring is ideally suited for riders who prioritize both power and the ability to comfortably carry a passenger on off-road adventures. It appeals to those who need a workhorse for property maintenance but also crave weekend trail explorations with a companion. Its substantial engine and touring-specific features make it a versatile option for recreational riders and utilitarian users alike, offering a sturdy and capable platform for a wide range of off-road activities.
