Polaris Sportsman 500 HO Sand Dune Clutch Kit for Paddle Tires
The EPI Performance Low Elevation Sand Dune Clutch Kit is designed to unlock the full potential of your
Polaris Sportsman 500 HO Carb 4×4 (Non-EBS) when riding in demanding sand dune environments. Specifically
engineered for machines running paddle tires at elevations between 0–3000 feet, this
performance clutch kit helps maintain your ATV’s peak power RPM while climbing dunes, accelerating in
deep sand, and tackling challenging terrain.
Sand riding places additional load on the CVT clutch system, often causing power loss, belt slip, and excess heat.
This precision-engineered clutch tuning kit recalibrates the clutch engagement to compensate for the
added resistance of paddle tires. The result is improved low-end torque, quicker backshift response, and more efficient
power transfer to the wheels.
Whether you’re climbing steep dune faces or carving through open sand, this high-performance ATV clutch upgrade
ensures smoother acceleration, stronger pulling power, and a noticeably more responsive throttle.
