This suspension setup absorbs harsh impacts while keeping you stable and comfortable, even on uneven, muddy terrain.
Why the Upgrades Make a Big Difference: Outlaw 2 Tires & Snorkel Kit
Even though the High Lifter Edition already comes built for mud, these upgrades take performance to another level.
Outlaw 2 Tires
The Outlaw 2 tires feature an aggressive “scooped” tread pattern that wraps around the rim, creating unmatched traction in deep, sticky mud. The durable tire walls resist punctures and maintain grip under heavy loads. When you’re fighting your way through ruts or slush, these tires bite deep and pull you forward where other ATVs spin out.
Snorkel Kit
The snorkel kit keeps your engine and CVT breathing clean, dry air even when submerged. It prevents water from entering vital components — a must-have for serious mud riders. When paired with the factory-sealed clutch and ducted engine channels, this setup lets you push deeper into water crossings and marshy terrain with confidence.
Together, the Outlaw 2 tires and snorkel system turn an already powerful ATV into a true mud warrior.
Buying Pre-Owned: What to Look For
Buying a pre-owned Polaris Sportsman 850 High Lifter Edition can save you thousands while still delivering top-tier off-road performance. Here’s what smart buyers check before buying:
Maintenance & Service Records
- Ask for engine oil, gear oil, and coolant change history.
- Check for signs of regular cleaning — mud machines need care after every tough ride.
Snorkel & Sealing
- Inspect the snorkel installation for tight fittings and no cracks.
- Check crankcase and transmission seals for leaks or wear.
Tires & Suspension
- Examine the Outlaw 2 tires for sidewall damage or uneven wear.
- Look for any bending or stress on A-arms, shocks, and linkage.
Engine & Drivetrain Health
- Avoid any with signs of water contamination (milky oil).
- Test AWD engagement and clutch response.
If everything checks out, a pre-owned High Lifter gives you an incredible performance machine at a fraction of new pricing — already upgraded and trail-tested.
Where the Sportsman 850 High Lifter Shines
- Mud Bogging & Deep Swamps: Big tires, sealed clutch, and snorkel make it unstoppable in deep muck.
- Hunting & Utility Use: AWD and 1,500 lb towing capacity make it ideal for hauling gear or game in remote areas.
- Extreme Trail Riding: With reinforced components and massive clearance, it handles rocky paths and washouts with ease.
