Leading up to our test of the 2019 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000, The past two seasons have brought about a number of small, but significant, changes, along with a rival that has been dramatically improved. Have Polaris’ updates been enough to keep the Sportsman competitive? Watch on and find out.

The Sportsman XP 1000 Premium Edition, new for 2019. We selected it since it is the most comparable model to our Limited Edition 2017 test quad, making evaluating updates easier. The Premium Edition features an upgrade from 26” to 27” tires, LED, 3rd brake light, cut and sewn seat cover, and painted plastic like our 2017 LE model. The Premium Edition also features a front bumper and 3,500 HD winch.

The fact that the Sportsman is such a capable worker gives you an extra reason to purchase a machine that most want for its virtually unrivaled fun factor. It should certainly be a top choice for the power hungry rider looking for a comfortable ATV to put on lots of miles.
