Minneapolis, MN (7/24/2008)
- Model year 2009 introduces a new
era for Polaris ATVs and RANGER side-by-sides.
As the Polaris Sportsman welcomes its one-millionth
customer, the ATV line introduces new Sportsman
models that are 99 percent new and reinvent
the legendary Sportsman ATV with more power
and an even better ride. Polaris also is introducing
an all-new, ultra-tough Sportsman 800 6x6 Big
Boss and a redesign to the high performance
Outlaw sport quads. Model year 2009 brings the
most significant product launch in Polaris RANGER
history with the introduction of the next generation
RANGER utility vehicles that work EVEN harder
and ride EVEN smoother. The new models include
the ruggedly re-designed RANGER 4x4 and RANGER
XP and the all-new, heavy duty RANGER HD. The
RANGER recreational line up includes improvements
to the red-hot RANGER RZR, and the addition
of the pure-sport RANGER RZR S.
