Sportsman XP 1000 Ultimate
Say this to the customer
That's the 2026 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 Ultimate, an ATV. It's a 952 cc engine making 90 hp. Careful here — the "1000" in the name is a badge, not the engine size. The real number is 952 cc. Quote that one, especially if they're cross-shopping on cc. 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). There's no confirmed Canadian price on file for this one. Get it off the dealer sheet before you say a number out loud.
At a glance
Questions customers actually ask
Why does it say 1000 if it's only 952 cc?
Because the number in the model name is marketing, not a measurement — manufacturers badge to a class, not to actual displacement. The manufacturer's own spec page says 952 cc. If the customer is comparing against another brand's badge number, they're comparing two marketing labels, not two engines.
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.
What does it cost?
We don't have a confirmed Canadian price on file for this machine. Don't estimate — tell them you'll confirm and come back. A wrong number here costs the deal at signing.
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.
