2021 Polaris Sportsman 570 Trail Detailed ATV Overview

[@jeffhamel2449]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bringing up the front storage lid. I just purchased a 2020 X2 and Polaris sent me a survey and thats what I brought up. I still own a 2007 500 sportsman and the front storage is much much more durable with TWO hinges. I actually feel the ATV is built stronger overall.

[@dustinjohnston545]

The sportsman 500s better

[@beastgirl43]

You think your 07 is built better overall than the 2020? I have an 07 X2 500 and absolutely love it. Considering a newer 570 myself

[@jeffhamel2449]

@@beastgirl43 Hi, don’t get me wrong. The 2020 is a nice machine but it’s overall made cheaper. Or at least feels it. A few examples are the front storage rack. The 2007 is made from thicker plastic with Metal closures, 2 hinges that don’t flex. The overall plastic on the entire machine in thicker and more durable, the metal tube frame as well. The way the seat attaches on the 2007 much much better. Just overall the 2007 is just beefier. Now the motor on the 2020 is stronger and “snappier” compared to the 2007. Go to a showroom and see that model. It’s nice but just not built as heavy duty. It feels like they just keep cutting corners to save ounces and/or pennies. I get it but I think they’ve gone to far. I sat recently on the Can Am 570. If you get a chance try and find a 2020 to sit on. They built it much nicer and beefier.....I actually might have gone with the Can Am if I had sat on it prior to buying the X2. That says a lot for a guy that has nothing but Polaris ATV’s & sleds Hope that helps :)

I have a 2018 and the front storage is setup with actual hinges. Shame on polaris for the new hinges

[@jeremy7923]

Thank you for calling this stuff out! I've loved Polaris but they continue to cut corners in ridiculous obvious ways while the prices keep going up. Like the latches and doors on my $28k ultimate Pro XP.... just ridiculous. I love that 570 but that front rack/lid is a joke. Can't believe they thought that's acceptable on a 9-10 thousand dollar quad.

[@dylans7127]

I swear the new Polaris’s look like something out of halo!

[@jbreezybiking8038]

Thanks for calling them out on the flimsy front rack hinge. It's such a glaring oversight on a really great quality machine. It really doesn't make any sense for such great quads to have such a poorly thought out front rack system. The storage option is killer, but you'd think they could design a hinge or framework or something that would add rigidity and life to something that is going to be used SO often.

[@ndawgg76]

Or allow the lid to open farther. Many times I will be parked and the lid will not stay open just because it is slightly facing up hill

[@danstevens2204]

The 05-10 models had far superior racks, latches and hinges.

[@DawsonPerron]

I may not be an avid Polaris fan but I love what they did with the 570. It looks really beefed up and honestly pretty nice

[@mudpuppy318]

The 450HO got this new look as well for 2021, I agree it looks great, but after a season with my 2020 I'd be hard pressed to buy another polaris for almost all the reasons he listed

[@Hunglikeagrimsmo]

All they really did was put the 570 engine in the 850-1000 chassis on it and move the battery which means next to no aftermarket support just like the 850-1000's. That 570 trail edition costs $2000 more than what I paid for my 850 basically overpriced and they still need to offer it as a high lifter to compete with the outlander 570 xmr.

[@henrym2260]

Henry M Great video... I have owned (my first and only) Honda Foreman TRX 500 a 2012 with ES and ESP and had good resale when I sold it spring of 2022. It wasn't 100% reliable either as I had freeze up between shifts in the gear, more so in colder sub zero weather and especially when going up a steep hill. Nothing pissed me off in being on a steep hill then having to get stopped by my shifter which I considered a safety issue. It didn't do it as often with more kilometers on it. Sold with 8000 kms or 5000 miles as it was getting dated and started getting into the bigger maintenance. That being said I purchased a 2022 Polaris 570 Trail Edition with the intention of keeping it for at least 4-5 hunting seasons and to be on the safe side got the extended warranty. Issues that was expected the clunking getting into all gears and sometimes take off, was explained by Polaris technician that its the way the clutch is set up and how the helix chucks slap into the gear mechanism. Now that it was explained, that is a quality and poor engineering issue from Polaris so I will hold them accountable should any failures happen during the warranty period. Also the gear shifter (handle) and how it works is substandard compared to the Japanese brands. It's like I'm putting an old tractor into gear. The plus side to the Polaris is the HP and plush suspension, ground clearance, and the AWD system (including low gear selection), the gearing and handling is way above the Honda's performance. In summary I think Honda has reliability and quality on its side for reputation. Polaris has over all better performance, handling and comfort. I'm an older guy at 59 and the comfort and performance was a consideration in my purchase. It was a trade off for reliability.

[@rceme74]

Thanks Luke, enjoyed your pros and cons of this unit. Our local dealer has one in the show room, looks great, but I'm with you, the front cover is almost an after thought. Not sure weather I want to trade my 19 in on this unit. Maybe I'll just replace all my tires and keep riding. Thanks Luke your opinions are very valuable for novices like myself and my wife.

[@emma.lapointe006]

I’ve been looking at getting an ATV and this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen yet. This might be the ATV I decide on!

The new design looks great and the few new improvements are good with two steps forward but then one step back with the flimsy front lid, the horrible location of the belt exhaust, and not to mention the elimination of the rear storage compartment.

[@geronimo7371]

I have the exact same Polaris. I love it! The only thing I'd change is I wish Polaris would make a wireless remote for the winch. Sometimes you need that and I can't help but think that in the grander scheme of things that that upgrade would add too much to the overall price.

[@dirttraxtv]

Great idea. Agreed.

[@chrisherbert4454]

ahh polaris quality two 2014's 570's both had motor failures at 1000 miles, clutch bearing failure, tail lights melted, wire harness shorted out coming off the alternator on both at 1600 miles. im happy to see the battery get moved up though they should have put it back in the rear wheel arch like it use to be. and please get the quality back

Went riding the other night on a group ride with 7 riders. 3 Yamaha Grizzly’s and 4 Polaris, 2 new 570’s and 2 Razors. Both 570’s belts got swamped 10 minutes into the ride. One Razor front differential broke so it got stuck constantly and the other Razor kept over heating. The 3 Yamahas worked flawlessly.

[@davidmccomb7120]

Nice review Luke, I always like that you talk about the good and the not so good, I never would have thought of the front rack hinges. Totally agreed, and I'm sure it will be addressed as a lot of us use our ATV's for both work and play.

[@theprairietinkerer]

Great overview. One thing I'd like to see is a measure of the weight distribution at the tires front to back. I have a 2015 Sportsman 570, and the front is so light that it'll float during some water crossings. Also makes trying to climb sand piles require a second pair of pants, when the front tires start lifting.

Power steering sensitivity has been a complaint on many Sportsman models but Polaris keeps bumping it up.. It's great for slow speeds but spirited riding definitely suffers.. Very cool machine overall, love the look!

[@vhateverlie]

I gotta agree, I turned the handles on a guys brand new 850 sportsman and I think it has more aggressive power steering than my 4000lbs car. My father's new KingQuad 750 isn't anywhere near that power steering.

My brother just a bought a 2021 570. Overall nice machine, but the fit and finish on the front storage rack is extremely lacking.

I had a 2014 570. Beautiful Sportsman. Camouflage skin and the best they offered that year. The cargo cover had snap latches as well as the 2020!! Why they went to rubber hinges is ludicrous. The power steering is real touchy, no room for over steering!!

Great overview! Can't wait for the review and comparison! It's a shame about the power steering; hopefully an easy programming fix. I could overlook the front rack if the power steering was setup right but for now I think I'll wait a bit longer and see what happens as they get into the market.

[@76rooter]

I have a lot of respect for polaris and one day may buy another one. I have currently got rid of all of my Polaris. I’ve owned multiple sportsman and rzr’s. . The one point that I found with all of them is they eat bushings and bearings. I’ve never seen a machine that goes through bearings and bushings as much as the Polaris do. If they can build a machine that I don’t have to replace them every year I may come back to the brand but until then I’ll drive can a.m.

[@SkidooPro1]

Great overview! I would also mention there is no longer a storage bin in the rear and the front storage is slightly smaller due to the battery relocation.

[@Justin-tp3lr]

Going down tomorrow to look at pre-ordering the 2022 version of it. I heard it comes with led lights and a better hinge on the front. I also was told they got rid of the rear storage box or maybe they just moved it. I hope they fixed the power steering issue. Only thing that sucks is I would not get the machine until April or May.

[@christopherlarter4386]

If not for the front rack this would be exceptional. I wouldn't put 50lbs on the front, don't care what they rate it for.

Yea I like the color scheme sportsman are the best for ur money I love the 570 speed and power

[@GuardianGrove]

I was going to mention how much more convenient that battery location is to keep the battery fresh in the winter, then you showed the battery tender connection. That's a small thing that makes a big difference to me, for winter use.

[@otm646]

It takes 20 minutes to route a trickle charge cable from the battery zip tied to the handlebars. That's the way we've been doing it for 20 years.

[@GuardianGrove]

I routed the battery tender leads up through the rear rack on my last two Sportsmans, as invisible as I could make it. I appreciate the clean, factory solution though. They recognized what people were doing for 20 years so they built it in.

[@tjcrocker443]

I was comparing the the 570 Trail specs VS the base 570 with strut up front and there's a 153LB difference. That's quite a bit with 44 hp. Would like to see a comparison

I'm not so keen on the new body style it's decent but I think the older one looks a bit better. There are a few nice upgrades like the plugs in the headlight housing. The front storage has always been great and I can't believe other manufacturers haven't copied it. The plastic racks of the older machines were MUCH tougher than the new ones. They've gone down hill in that department. I really like how Polaris' bumpers go so far down on the body and protect more of the machine than bumpers of other brands that only cover the upper portion. Looking forward to a full review.

[@deanieweenie116]

It's about time Polaris step up their game. I really do like that battery trickle charge system, coming from a 2015 Outlander owner. Although I have to say it's nice but not nice enough for me to make the switch. I've ridden previous model Polaris models and they just feel cheap and unfinished, and this one is definitely a step in the right direction, but not a big enough step.

Just bought a 570 trail edition. Can’t wait to see the ride review. Mine has an annoying clunk in the power steering while sitting still and wiggling the bars. You can also hear this clunk when going over rocky terrain. Wish they would have just used regular plastics or used a matte paint. Too pretty for a trail machine. Power steering is definitely not speed sensitive and handling is very twitchy at higher speeds. Ride quality is awesome on the trail compared to my 19 KQ 750 SE+.

I absolutely love the ride and bump absorption of my 2007 Sportsman 500 X2. How does the double A arm front suspension machines compare to the classic strut system?

[@esasaarinen2423]

wrc rally cars use MacPherson struts, it makes the vehicle a lighter weight than the double a arm suspension would make it. Also, due to its vertical nature, making turns could mean that your tires don’t touch the road as much. This will limit your control of the vehicle tremendously.with double a arm suspension your wheel alignments remain consistent as well as your steering. This will allow you to handle the vehicle better as you’re driving it better stability on the road because the tires are touching the road more. The only negative thing to say about the double wishbone suspension is that it is costly. This suspension system is a lot more complex than the MacPherson suspension, which means it costs the manufacturers more money to create it. There are so many components and parts of the double a arm system. If one part were to go bad or get worn out, then your whole suspension would stop functioning properly. As the owner, it will cost you more money in maintenance and repairs.if you are a big fan of affordability and less maintenance, then MacPherson should be your choice. But if you would rather have a suspension system that gives an excellent performance, then go with the double wishbone instead.

I went from an older sportsman 400 with the McPherson strut to a newer 570 with the dual a arm and the ride is not comparable. Granted my shocks on the 400 had seen better days but the dual a arm on the 570 just blow the struts out of the water. I can hit the same trails same bumps at twice the speed I could before, and they absorb the impact so much better. I’ve noticed all 4 tires seem way better planted in cornering and off camber sections.

This design looks solid but what the absolute **** were they thinking with that front rack. I cannot believe they thought that was acceptable. That’ll change next year when everyone complains.

Hello dirt trax. Have you ever had and issues with the belt exhast being right over the back tire? like mud and water getting in the belt box?

Thank goodness, they moved the battery and the charging port is a great touch. How about the shifter? Ours has detents that we often miss. We love our 2019 570 and I look forward to the review and compare.

I'm really on the struggle bus deciding between the 570 trail, or the 850 premium trail. Basically is $2500 CAD more really worth it for Just shy of double the hp and the twin engine. Everything else is more or less the same.

850 doesn’t disappoint the power is there and will maintain value better and be more fun and that’s the goal

It looks like the chassis and components are the same as my 2015 570sp with refreshed body work. Ive always been a die hard Polaris fan with 3 new machines in 5 years. I've had major problems with mine this year (1200km's) everything from rod bearing, voltage regulator, melted tail lights, melted seat pan and more. It was a great bike before the issues and only used for light trail use. Looking at purchasing a new atv, just a little hesitant about buying another Polaris.
