THE PREDATOR 500 RUNDOWN: Feared on both the trail
and track, the Predator comes preloaded with performance
parts normally found only on aftermarket sport quads.
That, combined with its powerful 500 engine, predictable
handling and superior suspension system, explains why the
Predator has won seven major awards in just three years.
The latest award being Sport Quad of the Year from ATV
Sport Magazine.

PRO -STEERING MEANS NO BUMP STEER-
On most sport quads, as you lean into a corner or nose into
a whoop, bump steer makes it feel like the quad is steering
you instead of the other way around. Predator's unique PRO
(Polaris Rider Optimized) steering system virtually eliminates
bump steer. It also creates easier steering, less feedback and
superior control.
