2012 Polaris Ranger 500 EFI LE[edit | edit source]
Bringing even more goodness to the off-road game, 2011 Polaris Ranger 500 EFI LE is an upgraded version of the basic half-liter Ranger, designed for those who want performance AND style when it comes to their SxS machines. Black Crusher rims, exclusive paint, painted springs, custom seats and decals make this machine stand from the crowd.
Two ignition keys are supplied with this beast: a black one which maximizes top speed and power, and a yellow one which limits the speed to 23 mph, for easier operation in certain situations. The mid-sized chassis of the 2011 Polaris Ranger 500 EFI LE makes it easy to load in the back of a truck, while at the same time offering a predictable and confident steering on all types of terrain. Just like the other Polaris SxSs, this one comes with on-demand AWD coupling and decoupling and automatic transmission, while the updated ergonomics make long rides more comfortable.
