If the key to business success is giving the customers what they want, then Polaris Industries is in for another successful year. The powersports industry frontrunner today unveiled its product offerings for 2007, delivering a variety of new products including an ATV engineered and designed through the strategic partnership between Polaris and KTM, a new class-leading 50 mph speed for RANGER XP and an exciting new sport-inspired Hammer S Victory Motorcycle.

Polaris shared the new products with their dealers in Orlando, Fla., while also providing a peek at a variety of products currently in development that consumers will be seeing in the future.

“The overwhelming popularity of our latest innovations, limited-edition models and new product features really set the stage for the 2007 model year line-up,” said Bennett Morgan, president and chief operating officer, Polaris Industries Inc. “Polaris continues to lead the way with the strongest and most innovative ATV, RANGER and Victory Motorcycle product lines in the industry today.”

All-Terrain Vehicles

After introducing six new models in 2006, Polaris will continue to lead the way with new and innovative ATV offerings for 2007.  Responding to rider demand, Polaris poured innovation into the two-up and youth segments for 2007, and unveiled the first of many joint projects with Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, KTM Power Sports AG.  

Sportsman X2 800 – The successor and new titleholder of “The World’s Toughest ATVs,” the Sportsman X2 800 combines the engineering design of the X2 500 and the muscle of the 800 EFI, making it extremely versatile.  It also represents the convergence of two of the fastest growing and most profitable ATV segments – the two-up market and the big-bore market.  The Sportsman X2 800 will come in standard and deluxe packages as will the rest of the Sportsman line.

• Outlaw 525 – As a result of the strategic partnership with KTM, Polaris introduced the Outlaw 525 powered by KTM, which features the KTM 525 engine used in Motocross and Enduro racing, making the Outlaw leaner at 395 lbs. and the fastest accelerating production ATV on the market.  With engineering that tears apart the sport quad status quo, the Outlaw 525 includes independent rear suspension (PRO IRS), specifically designed for aggressive trail riding. Coupling Independent Rear Suspension with a lighter, more powerful engine creates the ultimate trail sport quad. Outlaw 525 will be available Spring 2007.

• New Youth Models –The best-selling line of youth ATVs is even better for 2007 with the addition of 4-stroke engines for a cleaner and quieter ride, and bigger chassis on the 90 cc models for a better rider fit and more comfortable ride. Polaris will offer three, new youth models including the Sportsman 90, Outlaw 90 and Predator 50.

• Limited Edition Models – For the first time, Polaris is offering a Pink Predator 50, Predator 90 and Phoenix 200 designed to appeal to the female rider.  In addition, Polaris will offer a Sportsman 800 in a stealth black finish, a painted sagebrush green Sportsman 500, a red Hawkeye, black and silver Predator, and  a Sportsman X2 500 in the extremely popular sunset red paint.
