Since 1985, Polaris has been manufacturing ATVs and parts for them. The line of four-wheeled motorcycles of this brand is confidently held in the top of sales. The secret to success is original innovative developments and continuous product improvement. Quality and high reliability have become the hallmark of this brand. The Polaris ATV is both youthful equipment, and fun for an adrenaline lover, and a sports equipment, and an all-terrain vehicle for a fisherman or hunter, and mobile vehicles for a lifeguard, and a military lightweight all-terrain vehicle. And many other niches are available to this amazing technique.
Polaris ATV lineup
The Polaris ATV is not one product, but a huge lineup, presented by several modifications and executions. Every year it is improved, new copies are added. The dynamics of the model range makes it impractical and impossible to fully review the nomenclature of cars produced by the company in one short article, so it makes sense to dwell on the samples offered by Moscow dealers of the company in 2015. Prices are approximate and may vary depending on the exchange rate.
So, small-sized (otherwise called "children's") cars are represented by Polaris Outlaw 50 (79 thousand rubles) Polaris Outlaw 90 and Polaris Sportsman 90 models (169 thousand rubles each).
These cars are similar to "adult" models, but less powerful. So, suitable for driving even a six-year-old Polaris Outlaw 50 driver weighing up to 100 kg and dimensions 1219 × 800 × 711 mm, the engine has only 4 l / s. Two other modifications have more powerful engines.
Utility cars of the glorious family under the name of the Polaris ATV are represented by models of 17 brands, priced from 299,000 to 909,000 rubles. These are the lines of Sportsman (400, 500, 550, 570, 0800, etc. of various modifications) and Scrambler (2 varieties). The Polaris-500 ATV in various modifications is very popular. Not much less popular with buyers is the Polaris-800, an ATV with a large engine capacity.
Sportsman ATVs
ATV "Polaris-Athlete" in different versions has the same units, differing only in engine size. All-wheel drive independent suspension and CVT gearbox are integral parts of these machines. ATV "Polaris" brand Sportsman Big Boss 6 x 6 stands somewhat apart. Its six wheels and a cargo compartment, capable of holding 363 kg of cargo, make this car a welcome purchase for everyone who needs a small cross-country mobile transport. For example, farmers, hunters, rescuers or postmen.
ATV "Polaris" from the Sportsman line can be double. These are Sportsman Touring 850 N.O. EPS, Sportsman Touring 550 EPS and Sportsman Touring 500 N.O. Model Polaris SPORTSMAN X2 550 has a convertible seat that allows, if necessary, to carry passengers.
The engine braking mechanism , a digital odometer and an active descent control system are far from all the gadgets used in the construction of these ATVs.
ATV Scrambler
Scarbler Polaris ATVs are an excellent choice for athletes and adrenaline lovers. Ergonomic, perfectly balanced, equipped with an electric power steering, they behave perfectly at high speed, all the while remaining under the control of the driver. An engine of 850 cubic meters plus adjustable shock absorption, double headlights and a large (280 mm) clearance complete the picture.
Unfortunately, the RZR, Ranger lines are not represented here. It is possible that they will appear on sale at Moscow dealers.
The work of the company to improve models
Polaris works tirelessly to improve its products. As an example, consider replacing the Polaris 500 model with the Polaris 570 ATV. The Sportsman 500 model has been in production since 1996 and over 600 thousand of these ATVs have been sold. With the Polaris Sportsman 570, first introduced in 2014, the company hopes for no less success.
The name of the machine shows that the new engine has a capacity of about 570 cubic meters compared to the previous 500 cc. Its power increased by 22%. But not only this distinguishes the new engine from the old. An electronic fuel injection system enables smooth and reliable operation of the unit. In a number of models of this brand there are samples with EPS - electric power steering.
The new model has another important improvement - additional steel pipes in the rear pillar. This is the company's response to complaints about the Sportsman 500 regarding the inconvenience of securing luggage to slippery boot racks.
The former chassis is left, as users highly appreciate its smooth running, stability and comfort. Saved and gearbox. One click of the switch - and the ATV switches from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive.
The ATV is able to take a load of 40 kg and 80 kg to the rear and front luggage racks, respectively, towing loads weighing up to 555 kg is allowed. Moreover, shipping and towing a trailer can be carried out simultaneously.
Interestingly, the 2014 model cost remained at the 1996 model value.
Conclusion
It remains to add that the popularity of ATVs in general, and the popularity of ATVs "Polaris" (which means "Polar Star" in particular), in particular, only grows with time. They firmly occupy already developed niches in various fields of application and aspire to new ones.
