The Polaris has been supplying the U.S. Armed Forces with innovative ATV and LT-ATV transportation since the 1980s, and formed the Polaris Defense military division in 2005. The proven, rugged and nimble Sportsman® MV850 is engineered to carry up to 850 lbs of military-grade payload through some of the tightest and most extreme off-road terrain. Featuring rugged metal racks with integrated tie down points, the warfighter can carry up to 200 lbs. (90 kg) of gear on the front rack and up to 400 lbs. (180 kg) of gear on the back. Like the Dagor, the 850 is only available for purchase by the U.S. military and her allies.
