2006 Scrambler 500 4x4
Sport Riders Enjoy Speed of 500 Engine, Traction
of True All-Wheel Drive
 Polaris’
Scrambler excels where 2-wheel drive ATVs can’t
go. It gives riders passage to remote places and
rough terrain by combining a powerful 500 engine
and Polaris’ legendary true All-Wheel Drive.
This combination of power and traction makes
the Scrambler popular among sport riders who want
a faster ride and the ability to go anywhere. The
Scrambler delivers impressive top speed, quick acceleration,
light handling, true AWD and a hassle-free automatic
transmission.
The power plant of the Scrambler is a liquid-cooled
Polaris 500 High-Output 4-valve, 4-stroke engine.
It has a sealed battery and electric start. The
Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) responds automatically
to changes in engine speed and vehicle torque load
by delivering just the right power to the drive
wheels. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a durable,
concentric chain drive and to the front wheels by
a shaft drive.
This power is matched with the traction provided
by Polaris On-Demand All Wheel Drive (AWD). Engaged
with a thumb switch on the handlebar, this system
monitors traction of the rear wheels. As soon as
the rear wheels begin to lose traction, the system
instantly and automatically engages the front wheels
with full torque. When the rear wheels regain traction,
the system shifts back to 2WD automatically.
The Scrambler provides 10.5 inches of rear suspension
travel, 8.2 inches of front suspension travel and
5.5 inches of ground clearance. All this means better
performance and handling over rough terrain. In
the back, a gas-charged twin-tube shock and progressive-rate
rear suspension deliver more than twice the rear
suspension travel of competitors. In front, a MacPherson
strut suspension provides more resilience, better
handling and less rider fatigue.
Braking is provided by Polaris’ single-lever,
all-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. The Scrambler 500
has a 3.5-gallon fuel tank, a mechanical fuel gauge
and dual headlights.
For 2006, the Scrambler 500 is available in Orange.
