The Sportsman has been a staple in Polaris’ lineup for almost three decades, and there’s a reason it has stood its ground for so long. The machine has evolved with Polaris as a company, and the platform stands as a time capsule for everything that Polaris has accomplished.

Plus, at the end of the video we go over what kind of person and what kind of task the 850 would be perfect for. Is it a better farm rig or weekend toy? Did it leave us impressed or did the bad overpower the good? Check out the video and see for yourself.
