Polaris Industries today announced QUAD PASSION Magazine has named the Sportsman X2, “European ATV Election of the Year” in the Rec/Ut 500 cc Category.

The category was judged by 45 ATV riders that were readers of Quad Passion and 10 European ATV specialist media representatives. Each rider had 20 minutes a vehicle to test 16 different criteria that included handling, position, equipment, power, braking, comfort, design, fit and finish.

“We are pleased the Sportsman X2 has received recognition from one of France’s premiere ATV publications,” said Rene Basei, President of Polaris France. “The goal for the Sportsman X2 was to design a quad for 2-Up riding that delivered versatility and safety with all the performance, power and comfort of our Sportsman line. This honor demonstrates we succeeded.”
