Polaris has released 2018 Sportsman XP 1000 LE and Sportsman 570 EPS LE models, along with new color options for the Sportsman 450 H.O. EPS model, which will be available in dealerships beginning in February:

I like the Polaris Pursuit camo way better than this stuff with orange in it. But I do like the front bumper they put on the 570 EPS LE. The 27" tires on the XP 1000 LE give it an extra 1/2" of ground clearance compared to 26" tires and I like the wheels. I looked at the Polaris website and on the 570 the half shafts have been redesigned to be 50% stronger, even at the most stressed angle. Right now you can get up to a $500 rebate on some 450 and 570 models.

 

I do like that bumper..One piece compared to the older ones that we had to assemble the side pieces together that protected the head lights.

 

That's how mine is. I always wondered how those little screws would hold up if I hit something. So far I've been lucky and not hit anything hard enough to break them.

 

The 450 model has the 50% stronger half shafts as well. I got the 450 in ghost gray(utility edition) Dec 31st. They have the models in some stores. It is not the EPS though.
