From the dealer's page

THE BACKWOODS TAKE The Polaris Sportsman 850 is where we'd start looking when a rider wants a meaningful jump in performance over the Sportsman 570 without automatically moving into the top end of the ATV lineup. It still works well for property use, hunting and utility, but the added performance becomes much more noticeable for riders who spend more time on the trail or simply want stronger acceleration and capability. For many experienced ATV owners, the 850 lands in a very useful middle ground between the versatile 570 and the more extreme XP 1000. BEST FOR Buyers comparing Sportsman 570 vs 850 Experienced ATV riders Trail riding Hunting and outdoor use Property owners wanting more performance Riders who don't necessarily need an XP 1000 THE BACKWOODS VERDICT If you've reached the point where a 570 feels like enough utility but not enough performance, the Sportsman 850 is one of the first machines we'd recommend comparing.
