2004 Polaris 700 Sportsman
2004 Polaris 700 Sportsman A First Look |
Polaris even claims an increase in straight-on puncture resistance. After an afternoon of rocks, mountains and more rocks, we can attest to all of the above. Not once, even on the steepest rock strewn slopes did we engage 4×4, preferring to really test out the traction abilities of the new radials.
We never experienced any rear wheel slippage at all. They will even “fireroad” if you so desire. If only the XTR’s looked as mean as the Goodyear’s! I guess a great personality is superior to good looks after all. Also new for 2004 is the addition of a new digital fuel gauge which has been added to the VDO LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) instrument panel.
The fender flairs have been redesigned for 2004 with a wide turndown lip. The headlight pod and racks have been redesigned as well with the racks receiving side rails.
Luckily the terrific motor remains the same. We would not be happy if they had!
Stay tuned because on Nov. 15th, we will unveil another new for 2004 Polaris Sportsman!
