2006 Polaris Predator 50

2006 Polaris Predator 50 Youth ATV – Classic Fun, Built for Safety

Under the hood is a 49 cc, air-cooled, two-stroke engine with a reed-valve intake and simple carburetor feeding—a setup known for both reliability and easy upkeep. The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) delivers seamless power without shifting, and while there’s no reverse gear, its adjustable safety throttle lets parents limit top speed for beginner riders.

Safety & Handling

Safety features are comprehensive yet kid-focused—independent front suspension and a swing-arm rear setup each offer around 3 inches (76 mm) of travel, smoothing out bumps and keeping ride control predictable. Powerful drum brakes front and rear stop the fun safely.

Chassis & Build

Built on a robust steel frame clad in durable plastic, the ATV keeps things light and tough. Its plush seat sits at a kid-friendly 23 inches (584 mm) from the ground, while a low 4-inch (102 mm) ground clearance and small 5 ft turning radius make it highly maneuverable—even for young, inexperienced riders.

Tires & Dimensions

Equipped with Duro brand tires—16×6.5-7 (front) and 16×8-7 (rear)—this ATV provides confident traction across grass, dirt, or gravel. It spreads a compact 31.5 inches wide, spans 4 feet long, and weighs in at only 185 lbs (83.9 kg), so kids can handle it comfortably.
