## The Polaris Sprint (ES) - A Compact ATV with a Legacy

The Polaris Sprint (ES), produced from 1986 to 1990, was a compact and agile ATV designed for recreational use and light-duty tasks. The "ES" designation stood for "Electric Start," a feature that distinguished it from its kick-start-only counterparts. Built on a sturdy tubular steel frame, the Sprint (ES) was powered by a reliable 196cc, single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, capable of generating a respectable amount of power for its size. This made the Sprint (ES) ideal for navigating trails, traversing uneven terrain, and handling light hauling tasks around the farm or ranch. The Sprint (ES) also came equipped with a full-suspension system, featuring independent front suspension and a swingarm rear suspension. This setup provided a smooth and comfortable ride, even over rough terrain.

While the Sprint (ES) was a popular choice amongst recreational riders and utility users, it was known for its simplicity and ease of use. Its compact size and relatively lightweight design made it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while its robust construction and reliable engine ensured a long service life. The Sprint (ES) featured a durable, low-maintenance belt drive system, further contributing to its user-friendly nature. The addition of an electric start system further enhanced its ease of use, particularly in colder climates. Despite being discontinued in 1990, the Polaris Sprint (ES) continues to hold a place in the hearts of many ATV enthusiasts. Its compact size, versatile capabilities, and straightforward design cemented its legacy as a reliable and dependable ATV, capable of providing years of reliable service for both recreational and utility purposes.
