In 2007, Polaris introduced the Outlaw
525, the fastest accelerating sport ATV available.
In 2008, along with offering the independent rear
suspension Outlaw 525 IRS, Polaris one-upped itself
by introducing a straight-axel Outlaw 525 S. Twenty
pounds lighter than the Outlaw 525 IRS and competitively
priced, the Outlaw 525 S is a dune and racing enthusiast’s
ultimate machine.
