SP = sub par... :grin Just kidding. I don't know that I've ever heard what the SP stands for. XP was for extreme performance, and Polaris was pretty vocal about that. The SP has the dual a arm front suspension, as well as more bells and whistles than the value model that has the front strut suspension. All SP's will have EPS, but not all value models will be equipped with EPS. The SP is the more expensive machine, and considered by some to be the better machine. Not all of us agree with that assessment, but that is for everyone to decide on their own.

Hahahah! Well. The letters work perfectly for that.SP = sub par...Just kidding. I don't know that I've ever heard what the SP stands for.

I do remember the salesman saying that there was another model with 14” wheels and 26” tires. He called it the extra value package. And I do know that EPS is Electronic Power Steering, which I don’t have. Just curious for the actual meaning.
I didn’t want the 14” wheels and i didn’t want the EPS. My main concern was for it to be a Tourimg so that my wife can I could both ride comfortably.
Thanks for the info.

When SP came out with the addition of the 1000 XP the best we could come up with was Sports performance. As far as I'm aware, Polaris hasn't made an official statement on what the SP stands for. We do know that the XP is extreme performance and is the moniker for the biggest machine in the lineup. At least for the ATV line up.
