Outlaw lineup
The Polaris/KTM partnership is going well. In fact, this year sport ATV aficionados can choose between three models powered by the Austrian firm's products. Other than the Outlaw 525 IRS with fully independent suspension and the 525 S with conventional swing arm suspension, the American manufacturer is now putting out a machine designed specifically for competition in the 450-cc sport ATV class.

The new 450 MXR benefits from the outstanding Austrian engine known for its above-par performance. The chassis has been trimmed down and has everything it needs for competition: Fox Podium X racing shock with auxiliary reservoir and compression and rebound adjustability, track-calibrated exhaust system, Magura self-adjusting hydraulic clutch, dual-piston front brake callipers, Maxxis RAZR MX tires and new aluminum bumpers and heel guards. The Outlaw 450 MXR will no doubt carve a name for itself on both the track and the podium in 2009.

Ranger XP LE
For 2009, Polaris has concentrated its efforts on its range of side-by-side vehicles. The ergonomics of its current model have been tweaked on several fronts. This is the case of the Ranger XP LE, now more spacious and equipped with more comfortable seats as well as a height-adjustable steering wheel. Like the new 2009 Sportsman XP, the Ranger XP inherits a new, fully independent, dual A-arm suspension system and electric power steering. It can also be dressed up in new colours and graphics for 2009.

Ranger RZR "S"
Following the success of its RZR side-by-side sport model, Polaris has decided to offer extreme driving enthusiasts a widened, sportier version boasting specific equipment. Other than its wider, 152-cm track, the new RZR S includes 12-inch aluminum wheels, fender wideners, seats with improved support, FOX shocks with auxiliary reservoir and a locking rear differential borrowed from the Sportsman 800 Touring.

Completely revamped machines, a lineup of well endowed two-seaters, sport ATVs that have the competition quaking and value that's hard to beat: that's the way Polaris intends to go for 2009.
