Say this to the customer
That's the 2026 Polaris Sportsman 850, an ATV. It's a 850 cc engine making 78 hp. It's a one-seater. If they're picturing two-up, this isn't the machine — a passenger isn't safe or legal on it. Rated to tow 680 kg (1499 lb). The only price on file is MSRP, $14,089 CAD — that excludes freight and PDI, so what they actually finance lands higher. Don't quote it as the out-the-door number.
At a glance
Questions customers actually ask
Can two people ride it?
No — it's a single seater. Adding a pad or a rack doesn't make a passenger legal or safe, and it'll be an insurance problem. If they want two-up, move them to a side-by-side or a touring-trim ATV.
Is that the price I'll pay?
No. $14,089 CAD is MSRP, which leaves out freight and PDI — that gap runs into four figures, and tax is on top. We don't have a local dealer price on file for this one yet, so treat MSRP as a floor, not a quote.
How much can it tow?
680 kg — about 1499 lb — per the manufacturer. That's the machine's rating, not a trailer or hitch rating, and it assumes level ground.
Will it fit in my truck box?
It's 1209 mm wide, roughly 47.6 inches. Most half-ton boxes are about 50 inches between the wheel wells, so this should clear — but measure their specific truck before promising it.
Does it have a locking differential?
No, not on this trim. If they ride deep mud or bush, that's a real limitation and worth steering them to a trim that has one.
How much ground clearance?
305 mm, about 12 inches. That's the number that decides whether they're riding over deadfall and rocks or dragging on them.
