The Polaris Xpress 300, produced from 1996 to 1998, was an entry-level ATV designed for recreational use and light-duty tasks. It was known for its simplicity, affordability, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for beginners and budget-conscious riders. The Xpress 300 boasted a 299cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing a modest amount of power for trail riding and utility work. This engine was paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system, which provided smooth and effortless acceleration, ideal for navigating various terrains. The Xpress 300 came equipped with a rugged steel frame, independent front suspension, and a swingarm rear suspension, providing a comfortable and stable ride even on uneven terrain. Its compact size and maneuverability allowed it to navigate tight spaces and trails with ease.

Despite its basic design, the Xpress 300 offered several features to enhance its practicality. These included a front rack for carrying small loads, a rear hitch for towing light trailers, and a spacious cargo bed for hauling tools and supplies. While not as powerful or feature-rich as higher-end models, the Xpress 300 proved to be a capable and versatile machine for a wide range of applications. It was a popular choice for tasks such as hauling firewood, clearing trails, and recreational riding. However, due to its smaller engine size, it was not recommended for heavy-duty work or extreme off-road riding. The Xpress 300's simplicity and affordability allowed it to become a gateway to the world of ATVs for many riders, introducing them to the versatility and enjoyment offered by these machines.
