Company Description

Founded in 1954, Polaris has been making top-quality products for over half a century. With a wide variety of product lines, from ATV and snowmobiles to all-purpose military vehicles, Polaris is dedicated to helping people enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest.

From their humble beginnings as a repair garage, Polaris has grown into a powersport world leader, with over thirty brands contributing to the company’s growth. More recently, they’ve gone beyond the limits of traditional powersport manufacturing and expanded into wider markets, such as military and commercial vehicles.

Driven by innovation and a commitment to excellence, Polaris offers a diverse product line of world class brands reflecting their high standards.

History

Polaris has a long history of hard-working, family ownership. Beginning in a small town in northern Minnesota during World War ll, skilled mechanics Edgar and Allan Hetteen quickly built a loyal customer base.

Motivated to discover a better way to travel to hunting grounds during the harsh Minnesotan winters, the brothers developed one of the first snowmobiles. With time, their snowmobiles became so popular that they started making them exclusively. Later, they grew their manufacturing base to develop ATVs and become one of the world’s biggest powersports dealers.

Recently, they expanded their product line to include commercial and military vehicles, as well as a clothing and accessories line.

Types

Polaris offers three types of offroad vehicles: SSVs, ATVs, and Youth.

SSV

Polaris offers several models of SxS, including the RZR, RANGER, and GENERAL.

The RZR is a sporty SSV with the power, suspension, and mobility to handle even the most extreme trails.

The RANGER is a utility SSV that allows you to transport and haul heavy loads with a maximum amount of comfort.

The GENERAL is a family-sized SSV that gives you the best utility and highest comfort possible in a UTV.

ATV

Currently Polaris has two models of ATVs, the SPORTSMAN and the POLARIS ACE.

The SPORTSMAN is a universal ATV for all your sporting activities. With over two-million sold, it's a highly trusted ATV that you can depend on.

The POLARIS ACE is a single-seat ATV available in multiple sizes. By putting you in the center of the trail, it lets you take control and explore.
