RANGER CREW SP 570 NorthStar Edition

 For more than two decades, Polaris RANGER has been helping owners more efficiently tackle the task at hand so that they have more time to spend with family and friends. The all-new RANGER SP 570 lineup is no exception. Further elevating the promise of “hardest working, smoothest riding,” the RANGER SP 570 features a larger cargo box, increased ground clearance, added storage and accessory options that altogether create the perfect work and play machine.

“Our customers lead a busy lifestyle and they don’t want to have to compromise on the two things they care about most: doing good quality work and enjoying time with the family,” said Chris Judson, Vice President of RANGER, GENERAL and ATV.  “The RANGER SP 570 was designed so they don’t have to make these trade-offs; it’s great for work, fun to ride and the perfect fit.”

Available in 2-seat and CREW models, the all-new RANGER SP 570 delivers rugged styling to complement a class-leading 44-horsepower Prostar 570 engine with 1,500lbs of towing capacity, while an upgraded cargo box delivers nearly 30 percent more space for best-in-class cargo storage. An improved turning radius and compact 56-inch width help manoeuvrability in tight spaces. With more than 40 new accessories including Pro Shield cab systems, class-exclusive JBL® audio, and RIDE COMMAND technology, the RANGER SP 570 can be customised for many different uses. For riders who want maximum comfort in a mid-size package, the RANGER SP 570 NorthStar Edition comes equipped with a Pro Shield cab system and heating straight from the factory.

In addition to the all-new RANGER SP 570, the full-size RANGER lineup receives several upgrades for 2022. Polaris is always listening to its riders and dealers, and the new full-size lineup includes improvements that are a direct result of their feedback. More comfort and capability are critical for utility side-by-side customers, and for 2022, RANGER adds the following:

Along with these RZR model upgrades, the RZR Pro XP Sport will replace the RZR XP Turbo in the lineup, offering customers a significant value increase with added power, performance, styling and strength. The RZR Pro XP Sport delivers increased performance from its predecessor with 8-percent more horsepower and 2 inches of increased suspension travel.  Boasting a refined, rider-centric cockpit with increased adjustability and a stronger transmission, front-drive axels and more, RZR Pro XP Sport is ready for any challenge.

For 2022, RZR also gains exciting new accessory options. Inspired by the RZR Pro XP Rockford Fosgate® LE, now available for the RZR Pro XP is a Rockford Fosgate® Stage 5 Audio Upgrade Kit.

Additionally, launching from Pro Armor is an all-new Crawler AT tyre that was built for optimal performance and two 14-inch wheel options that combine strength and performance to give your RZR a style-forward look.

“RZR Pro XP has long been the standard in performance off-roading, and we are excited to push Pro XP’s performance capabilities further,” said Reid Wilson, Vice President of RZR, Polaris. “With the new RZR Pro XP Sport, we’re providing a more powerful, turbocharged entry point to the Multi-Terrain lineup and that’s something we know customers will appreciate.”

2021 GENERAL XP 4 1000 Trailhead Edition

Headlining the Polaris GENERAL offering for 2022 is the all-new GENERAL XP 1000 Trailhead Edition.

The Trailhead Edition is built on the best-selling GENERAL XP 1000 platform with added features and style that will elevate the off-road lifestyle for new and experienced riders alike.

But for those looking to go further, in search of new destinations and experiences, the GENERAL XP 1000 Trailhead Edition is purpose-built to handle longer, more adventurous hauls with riders and all their gear.”

The Trailhead Edition is the ultimate trail-tackling adventure machine with added storage for essential gear and cargo, and the capability to explore new destinations and experience new adventures. It features the following:

A 7-inch glove-touch infotainment system featuring GPS navigation and waypoints lets riders save specific destinations and follow a guided route so they can find their way, even outside of cell range. Group Ride allows riders to explore separate while keeping track of their pack, while Follow the Leader lets a designated group leader leave a digital track for others to follow on the way to favourite adventure spots. RIDE COMMAND equipped vehicles can also send group texts to one another without requiring cell service.

  • Adventure-Inspired Styling – Unique 3-D embossed topography graphics on Matte Blue Slate paint with Matte Orange Rust accents are sure to stand out from the crowd and showcase the spirit of adventure.

Polaris GENERAL continues to lead the crossover side-by-side segment, and in 2022, its lineup receives several upgrades driven directly from customer feedback. Upfront, most models receive a winch upgrade with Auto-Stop, synthetic rope with a new blacked-out, forged hook, aluminium fairlead and rubber isolator. Models with RIDE COMMAND will also benefit from the addition of Plow Mode. When properly equipped, Plow Mode automatically lowers and raises a plow when the vehicle shifts from Park to Low or Reverse, making plowing easier than ever.

Additionally, models with RIDE COMMAND receive a new Rockford Fosgate® Stage 3 audio setup with a four-channel amp for fade control and automatic volume levelling. To maximise the audio experience, a dedicated 400W amp driving a 10-inch subwoofer in a 25-litre enclosure is available as an all-new accessory offering. New colours and graphics are also available across the full lineup in both two- and four-seat models.

Polaris Sportsman, the No.1-selling automatic 4×4 ATV, today unveiled two new limited-edition models featuring RIDE COMMAND technology. Aimed at elevating the off-road lifestyle for riders of all backgrounds and experience levels, the new Sportsman 570 and XP 1000 RIDE COMMAND Editions are packed with exclusive tech, more performance and added trail capability.

“We are continually pushing to deliver the best possible ATV riding experience and bringing RIDE COMMAND technology to Sportsman is just the latest example,” said Judson. “Whether going out alone or in a group, the new Sportsman RIDE COMMAND editions provide riders added confidence and capability to stay connected and explore new trails and destinations.”

The limited-edition RIDE COMMAND models keep riders connected with industry-exclusive communication technology that works even outside of cell range. Riders can stow their phone and keep their hands on the bars riding with full confidence in the route ahead and everyone’s location. But that’s not all, these two models are packed with popular features designed for riders looking to hit the trail with performance and style. Standard equipment on the new 2022 Sportsman 570 and XP 1000 RIDE COMMAND Editions includes the following:

What’s more, RIDE COMMAND equipped vehicles can send group texts to one another without requiring cell service. Plow Mode also comes standard, making plowing easier than ever by automatically lowering and raising a plow when the vehicle shifts from Park to Low or Reverse. Also available as an accessory for 2022 Sportsman models.

  • More Clearance, Less Maintenance – Front and rear arched A-arms maximise usable ground clearance under the machine to confidently ride over obstacles along the trail, while sealed suspension bushings are designed to withstand the elements and reduce vehicle maintenance.
  • More Protection and Utility – A front bumper provides added protection from the elements, and a Polaris Pro HD 3,500-lb winch with Auto-Stop and synthetic rope comes standard to clear unexpected obstacles from the trail and keep the ride going.

Polaris Youth 

2022 RZR 200 EFI

For 2022, Polaris brings innovation and advancement to the youth side-by-side category with the all-new RZR 200 EFI. The RZR 200 EFI replaces the popular RZR 170 EFI and establishes a new standard for youth riding thanks to exclusive safety innovations, including RIDE CONTROL featuring speed limiting, geofencing, and Helmet Aware technology – all controlled by the RIDE COMMAND app.

True to form, with top-tier trail capability and performance, the RZR 200 EFI offers young riders ages 10 and up the ultimate introduction to the fun and excitement of off-roading. A host of safety innovations means parents and adult riders can enjoy the trail worry-free.

    • Geofencing – Helps keep kids in parameters by quickly setting and controlling ride boundaries and speed limits within and outside of the geofenced area.
  • Functional Display – Riders can clearly see their speed behind the wheel while allowing parents to track speed when not in sight.
  • Helmets Included – RZR 200 EFI comes with two helmets and one Helmet Aware beacon.
  • 180cc EFI Engine – Gives kids the power they need to manage varying terrain without falling behind and eliminates the engine choke for confident cold-starts.
  • Improved Off-Road Capability – Front dual A-arms, front and rear independent suspension with 7-inches of travel, 24-inch tyres and 10-inches of ground clearance provide more capability to manage rocks and ruts, keeping the ride smooth and the machine moving.
  • Standard Hard Doors – Allows kids to have the time of their lives while keeping them in and everything else out.
  • LED Headlights and Taillights – Improves rider visibility in low-light conditions to extend the day of riding and makes the vehicle more visible to others on the trail. Also equipped with a high-visibility flag.
