Xplorer
XR 500 SE
The ARGO team has been on a mission since debuting the ARGO Xplorer XR Series five short years ago to offer a better ATV, period. Better horsepower. Better suspension. Better comfort. Better, well, you get it.
The new 2022 XR 500 SE adds a fresh laundry list of enhancements, including the new 443cc liquid-cooled engine with EFI, new performance clutching, class-leading suspension, 3,000 lb. winch and 24" Kenda tires with aluminum rims. We don’t subtract essential features, like engine breaking, to save a few bucks; we make everything better. This SE model features painted plastic body panels, aluminum wheels and a winch. Go see why an ARGO XR 500 SE is a better fit for you.
