Following the launch of all-new upgrades to the RANGER Nordic Pro platform earlier this year, Polaris Off Road, the world leader in powersports and off-road innovation, today announced its complete 2026 off-road vehicle lineup with the introduction of all-new 2-up Sportsman models, designed to allow riders to share the journey like never before. Available across both the Sportsman 570 and XP 1000 S platforms, the new 2-up configuration provides comfortable seating for two riders, opening up fresh possibilities for adventure and utility in a single, versatile package.

“The introduction of the new Sportsman 2-up models is a major milestone for our ATV lineup, offering riders more choice and more ways to ride,” said Rodrigo Lourenco, Vice President Off Road Vehicles Sales, EMEA. “We know our customers want vehicles that adapt to their lifestyles, whether that means working smarter or enjoying the outdoors together. We listen to our riders and give them exactly what they need.”

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Polaris ATVs, the first American-engineered ATVs originally introduced to the off-road market in 1985. To celebrate this milestone, Polaris introduces the Sportsman XP 1000 S 40th Anniversary Edition, paying homage to the brand’s commitment to innovation and American heritage.
