Xplorer
XR 500
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 all-new 2022 XR 500 adds a fresh laundry list of enhancements, including the new 443cc liquid-cooled engine with EFI, new performance clutching and class-leading suspension. We don’t subtract essential features, like engine breaking, to save a few bucks; we make everything better. Go see why an ARGO XR 500 is a better fit for you.

Engine
This compact 4-stroke single overhead camshaft (SOHC) engine is liquid cooled and features electronic fuel injection (EFI). Offering the perfect balance of horsepower and torque, the 443cc engine will work just as hard as you do to get the job done while providing the necessary power for trail rides.
Improved Suspension
Double A-arm front and rear suspension delivers premium comfort and control in all conditions. On all Xplorer models we mount the shocks to the lower A-arm for maximum shock performance and a wider range of rider comfort. Fine-tune the suspension for individual riding styles and load carrying with adjustable coil-over-spring settings.
Wheels and Tires
The XR 500 is equipped with 24” Kenda tires seated on steel wheels. These aggressive off-road tires provide superior traction when venturing off road. Always wear a helmet and drive safe.
Steel Front & Rear Racks
Gear up and get down to business. The steel front and rear racks deliver 225 LBS. (102 KG) carrying capacity, with multiple tie-down locations for maximum versatility. Now, where are you heading this weekend?
