The Polaris Sportsman Touring 550, produced from 2010 to 2014, is a robust and versatile all-terrain vehicle designed for comfortable two-up riding and utility. Powered by a consistent 549cc, 4-stroke, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), it delivered 42 horsepower across all model years. The "Touring" designation highlights its passenger-focused features, including a spring-loaded seat, large backrest, and grab handles. Throughout its production, the Sportsman Touring 550 saw significant refinements. The 2010 model year introduced a redesigned double-cradle frame for improved strength and a narrower chassis, along with a repositioned engine and CVT transmission. Battery and air filter access were also enhanced. In 2012, the 549cc engine received internal modifications for smoother power delivery and increased longevity. By 2014, Electronic Power Steering (EPS) became standard across all Sportsman 550 models, greatly reducing steering effort. The 2014 models also benefited from an updated rear suspension geometry, reducing track change by 42% for a more compliant ride. Trims included the primary Touring 550 EPS, the versatile 550 X2 with a convertible cargo box/passenger seat, and various Limited Edition models offering premium features like winches or unique graphics.
