Polaris Sportsman 570 vs Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS

The two engine packages are different, but this page does not infer power, towing permission or ride quality from displacement. Compare the published footprint and front/rear tire markings before assuming the same loading space. Yamaha’s maximum clearance and wet weight require different interpretation from a dry-weight figure.

A: 2025 Sportsman 570 Base, not SP or Touring
B: 2025 Kodiak 700 EPS EPS, standard package

Use this comparison for a decision

First, screen the stock footprint

Enter the two reviewed dimensions into the multi-machine trailer planner, then replace stock figures with actual installed measurements. A table cannot inspect a ramp approach, gate height or tie-down access. Loaded transport weight must be measured or entered separately.

Second, compare the right tire baseline

Front and rear markings answer different width questions. Diameter determines theoretical clearance and speed-ratio changes. Wheel diameter and manufacturer-approved rim application still need their own checks. Published maximum ground clearance is not a promise about the loaded vehicle.

Third, keep ratings attached to their source

Neither machine is declared better. Source-qualified curb, wet and dry weight do not automatically support a numerical weight ranking. Missing payload or towing is unknown, not zero. Read the exact machine record’s restrictions and the complete owner documentation before turning a dimensional plan into a transport or work setup.
