2013 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRYIt's Here and ready for you to ride home today!
Want to stack this bold bagger up against every other bike in its category? Do it. For all-out riders, few bikes feel as comfortable in the seat as this one. It's a rider favorite among the Victory lineup, with riders customizing this bike to reflect their own attitude and style. Unique looks. Smoothly refined power. Hang on and enjoy the ride.
The Victory® Freedom® 106/6 V-Twin is a 106-cu. in. powerplant that pumps out 106 ft-lb of arm-straightening, street-churning torque. It's a counter-balanced, fuel-injected engine that delivers impressive performance for riders who like to lead, not follow.
A Cross Country rider enjoys smooth shifting and the best cruising on the open road in 6th gear, which is a true overdrive. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift is smooth and easy, and neutral assist makes it easy to slip into neutral at stops.
In all conditions, the Victory Anti-Lock Brake System on the Cross Country provides riders with peace of mind. When traction is compromised, it immediately and automatically provides reliable braking to help a rider stop quickly and under control.
Out on the open road, go ahead and activate the cruise control for an easy, relaxed ride. This automotive-qualify cruise control is easy to activate and set, and it reliably maintains the desired speed. To de-activate it, simply press "Off" or engage the clutch lever or either brake.
The Cross Country is ready and rated for 2-up riding with any cargo needed for a crosstown run or overnight trip. It has the power, cargo space, comfortable seating and adjustable air shock rear suspension so one or two riders enjoy the best in cruising.
Roomy, convenient, weatherproof and lockable. The Cross Country saddlebags set high new standards for carrying riders' essential gear. Cross Country saddlebag lids can be opened easily with one hand, they latch securely, have weatherproof seals and are lockable.
Sometimes the open road gets a little rough, so it's great to have the 4.7" of smooth travel provided by the Cross Country rear suspension. The air shock is easily adjusted using a hand pump so the suspension delivers a consistently smooth ride for one or two riders, with or without cargo on board.
Put the color-matched Lock & Ride® Trunk at the top of your accessories list. Victory-exclusive Lock & Ride technology means this trunk can be installed or removed in minutes - without tools! The trunk provides copious cargo space, a padded passenger backrest and two audio speakers.
The fairing features an integrated audio system with KICKER® Premium speakers that deliver powerful, crystal-clear sound to enhance every ride. AM/FM/Weather radio is standard, along with an auxiliary cord to use your MP3/iPod® as your music source. This premium audio package is standard on Nuclear Sunset, Sunset Red and Anti-Freeze Green with Black Flame models
If you're ready to cruise the roads in comfort and style, the
2013 Victory Cross Country is the bike for you! Come on in and see for yourself!

SPIRIT LAKE MANUFACTURING FACILITY BUILDS MILLIONTH POLARIS PRODUCT
Orange Polaris RANGER Side -by-side Vehicle Sets Milestone for Facility in Iowa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPIRIT LAKE MANUFACTURING FACILITY BUILDS MILLIONTH POLARIS PRODUCTOrange Polaris RANGER Side -by-side Vehicle Sets Milestone for Facility in Iowa
MINNEAPOLIS (September 26, 2012) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) announced that the one millionth product, an orange PolarisRANGER 800 Midsize side-by-side vehicle, rolled off its Spirit Lake, Iowa assembly line yesterday.
"One million units built marks an extraordinary milestone for our Spirit Lake operation," said Bennett Morgan, Polaris President and COO. "For nearly two decades Spirit Lake has been a manufacturing center of excellence and a vital contributor to our success. Thanks to the adaptability of both our outstanding people and the facility itself, Spirit Lake has, in its 18 year history, produced each of our product lines (Snowmobiles, ATVs, Side-by-Sides and Motorcycles)."
The Spirit Lake facility was established in 1994, and has increased employment from 477 in 2009 and currently employs 750 people while operating three production lines building Polaris RANGERs and Victory motorcycles. A second facility adjacent to the main Spirit Lake plant manufactures the Indian Motorcycle, and a third facility in Milford, Iowa manufactures GEM (Global Electric Motorcar).

PURE POLARIS INTRODUCES PRO-FIT CAB SYSTEMS
Featuring Total Integration with New RANGER XP 900
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pure Polaris introduces a revolutionary line of cab accessories, designed to be superior in every way to cab systems of the past. The new, high-quality Lock & Ride™ PRO-FIT cab components top a long list of innovative accessories available for the Polaris RANGER and RZR families of side-by-sides.
New Lock & Ride PRO-FIT Cab Systems Feature Total Integration
The new Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab accessories from Pure Polaris are designed for total integration with the all-new 2013 RANGER XP 900. That's an industry first. The vehicle and its accessories were literally made for each other. From the inception of the RANGER XP 900, the goal was to use total integration to create an industry-leading cab of the highest quality. The vehicle is designed around the cab, instead of the cab being designed around the vehicle.
"The new Lock & Ride PRO-FIT Accessories and the new RANGER XP 900 were developed as a single, integrated project," said Steve Eastman, Vice President Polaris PG&A. "This integration allows us to provide riders with the easiest installation and the best fit and performance they've ever experienced from RANGER accessories."
The cab frame on the new 2013 RANGER XP 900 features profile tubing, providing a 360-degree sealing surface for every cab component. Windshields, roofs, doors and rear panels follow the shape of the vehicle, locking directly into the cab frame's precision contours. That eliminates gaps for a secure fit, a better-sealing cab, game-changing fast installation and a perfect match to the advanced styling of the new RANGER XP 900.
There are multiple combinations of cab components using different customer-driven features, allowing owners of the new RANGER XP 900 to build a cab for their particular application, desired level of comfort and protection, and budget.
The Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab systems offer a variety of ventilation features, including tip-out windshields and sliding windows on doors and rear panels. In addition, Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cabs feature industry firsts, including power windows, automotive-style interior liners for noise-dampening and Lock & Ride technology.
Lock & Ride PRO-FIT Cabs Take Durability To A New Level
The new Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab accessories are 100% professional-grade, setting a new standard in durability and reliability. They are made by Polaris, for Polaris. Their designs are created and validated using the same processes used to build the Polaris RANGER, the Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding side-by-sides in the industry.
All Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab components feature durable, automotive-quality materials and construction. Canvas cabs are made with rugged Jeep®-style material. Windshields are available in impact-resistant polycarbonate or automotive-style, curved laminate glass, both with 360 degree gaskets for excellent sealing. Doors feature steel frames with quality sealing surfaces. Injection-molded door skins use a structural web process that produces higher strength, greater rigidity and outstanding fit. Integrated mounting points and hinges are built-in, not added later, for a tight fit that eliminates rattles and provides consistent sealing and operation.
Add Or Change Cab Components In Seconds
Many Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab components feature Polaris-exclusive Lock & Ride technology. The new Lock & Ride PRO-FIT windshields, poly roofs and rear panels snap directly onto the vehicle cab frame, with a seamless fit and without tools. They lock in place quickly and easily using pre-installedLock & Ride PRO-FIT quarter-turn handles. Non-Lock & Ride cab components are also easy to attach, with mounting points integrated into the cab frame.
Change your mind, change your accessories. Installing Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab components is quick and easy. So is taking them off. You can add or remove accessories on a whim, or with the changing weather. That's another industry first.
Lock & Ride PRO-FIT Cab Interiors Are Up To 60% Quieter
Minimize the noise and you maximize the enjoyment on the trail, hunt or job site. The exclusive design of the new Lock & Ride PRO-FIT cab doors and roofs includes available sound-absorbing liners and sound-dampening foam. Combine that with the engine-behind-the-seat design of the new RANGER XP 900, and sound levels inside the cab are up to 60% quieter at idle, and 40% quieter at 20 mph.
