THE 2014 INDIAN CHIEF VINTAGE

Introducing the 2014 Indian Chief Vintage...
Style meets swagger. The 2014 Indian Chief Vintage brings iconic Indian styling to a whole new level.

Standard - Yet Special Features
The new Thunder Stroke™ 111 engine delivers an incredible 119 ft-lbs of torque and features styling that pays tribute to legendary Indian Motorcycle® engines of the past.

Enjoy keyless starting that's secure and convenient. With the Indian® Chief® Vintage key fob in your pocket, climb on the bike, push a button and ride. If you misplace the fob, use the individual security code that you pre-programmed into the ignition.

Virtually every surface that could be chromed has been chromed. From end to end, the beautiful, bright chrome finish elevates the iconic style of the Indian® Chief® Vintage.

The comfortable seat and spacious saddlebags feature natural tan leather that will become even more distinguished over time. The high-quality leather is strong and durable, and it complements the traditional Indian Motorcycle® style.

The protective windshield features Indian® Chief® Quick Release Technology, so it can be installed or removed quickly and easily in just minutes.

Indian Motorcycle® backs every new Indian® Chief® Vintage with 5 years of coverage that includes both a 1 year limited warranty and an extended service contract. Subject to $50 deductible, no mileage limitation. Ride with confidence and peace of mind that you'll enjoy every memorable mile. Plus, every new rider will be provided a full year of Indian Motorcycle® Roadside Assistance for added assurance. See dealer for details.

Classic Iconic Features
One of the classic elements of an Indian Motorcycle® is the vintage badging. Ever since the Indian® script logo was first created in 1910, and Indian Motorcycle® Red became the standard Indian Motorcycle® color in 1912, these features have made the Indian Motorcycle® badging a hallmark of this historic brand.

Lighting the way as it has done since 1947 is the iconic War Bonnet. Mounted proudly atop the front fender in a chrome frame, this light makes it clear, "This is a genuine Indian Motorcycle®."

Stylish, elegant and functional, the iconic valenced fenders, standard since 1940, enhance the flowing styling lines of every Indian Motorcycle®. They also provide protection, effectively blocking road spray and gravel kicked up by the tires.

Every Indian® Chief® Vintage is equipped with outstanding brakes, and in keeping with our traditional styling, we choose to cover the calipers. The result is a clean, stylish, beautifully finished sheet metal - iconic Indian Motorcycle® valanced fenders.

Chief® Vintage instrumentation combines modern technology and traditional style. The tank-mounted console has a large, easy-to-read analog speedometer as well as a digital display screen that provides a wealth of valuable ride and fuel data.

The Indian® Chief® Vintage rolls on bright, high -quality laced wheels. Forty stainless steel spokes make up the wheels, which evoke iconic, timeless Indian Motorcycle® style.

Comfort with Style
Customize the ergonomics and enhance the classic style of your Indian® Chief® Vintage motorcycle with a set of Beach Bar Handlebars. These bars offer a wide, comfortable reach to the handgrips and controls.

These Pinnacle collection Rear View Mirrors greatly enhance the style of your motorcycle. They feature a dynamic, laterally tapered design and have Indian Motorcycle® script branding on the backsides. They are supported by forged arms for added strength and style.

Enhance the custom treatment of your Indian Motorcycle® by adding the Pinnacle Cover Collection to your bike. Each Horn Cover, cam cover and primary cover features branding and graphic and gives the motorcycle a clean, finished custom look.

The Heritage Messenger Bag features premium leather exterior and a formed interior cargo space that's large enough for most popular-sized laptop computers. The bag has strong metal clips that quickly and easily secure the messenger bag to the Solo Seat Luggage Rack.

This Black Leather Fork Bag can be used to hold any small items you want to take on your favorite rides.This Fork Bag is made of premium black leather and features Indian Motorcycle® script branding. It attaches securely to the forks and light bar, and its lid latches shut to keep cargo secure and protected from the elements.

You can give your Indian Motorcycle® an additional dose of timeless American cruiser motorcycle style by adding fringe. Add leather fringe grips, floorboards, saddlebars and mud flaps to enhance the classic styling of your bike.

Visit us to see how you can experience all the 2014 Indian Chief Vintage has to offer! Choice is here, it's your time to ride!
 
MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT
Polaris RZR XP 1000 4 Seater

 

Introducing the Polaris RZR® XP 4 1000. Now you can enjoy incredible innovations of the hallmark Power, Suspension and Agility aspects of RZR®, and an entirely new level of interior comfort and accessory customization. In true Polaris fashion the RZR XP 4 100 has brought a new vehicle to market that suit the needs of all off-road enthusiasts, which offers the ultimate RZR experience for four.

The RZR XP 4 1000 is the ultimate multi-passenger side-by-side, with all the same attributes as the RZR XP 1000: 107 horsepower ProStar™ engine with a true 999 ccs of displacement, 3-Link Trailing Arm Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with exclusive Walker Evans position-sensitive, anti-bottoming needle shocks, the first-OEM offered 29 in/73.7 cm Maxxis Bighorn tires, high-strength tubular chassis and a high-performance on demand all-wheel drive system; with the addition of  the most advanced suspension for performance driving and family cruising, and additional cabin comforts to not only accommodate two more passengers, but also provide the smoothest, most-enjoyable ride on a high-performance side-by-side.

The ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility starts with power. At the heart of the RZR XP 4 1000 is the 107 horsepower ProStar™ Twin EFI engine that was built specifically for an extreme-performance side-by-side and first found in the RZR XP 1000.  The engine features Dual OverHead Cams (DOHC), four big valves per cylinder and dual throttle bodies for immediate response making the RZR XP 4 1000 the fastest accelerating four-seater on the market. The engine also provides unmatched torque across the RPM range for ample power to carry four people under any riding conditions.

In order to handle the massive power of the engine and keep the ride smooth, the RZR XP 4 1000 features the most advanced suspension for performance driving and family cruising. The RZR XP 4 1000 has industry-exclusive Walker Evans Position Sensitive Anti-Bottoming Needle Shocks on all four corners with stronger rear shocks and retuned valving at all four corners to ensure a smooth ride for front and rear passengers. To perfectly match the ride to the terrain and number of passenger, the shocks have piggyback reservoirs up front and remote reservoirs in the rear that are 16-position compression adjustable with preload adjustability. They are paired on all four corners with dual rate/dual spring coil-overs for 18 in/45.7 cm of rear travel and 16 in/40.6 cm of front travel, and industry-exclusive 29 in/73.7 cm Maxxis Bighorn tires which provide more air volume for a smoother ride and fewer pinch flats. With a longer wheelbase and 13.5 in/34.3 cm ground clearance, the RZR XP 4 1000 provides the most control and smoothest ride for all passengers.

For RZR sharp agility, the RZR XP 4 1000 has a new tubular chassis that reduces flex to keep the tires planted for precise cornering and an ultra-responsive feel.  Paired with a lower cab frame, as compared to the RZR 4 900, and a flat second row of seating, which pushes the center of gravity low into the chassis, the RZR XP 4 1000 provides an incredibly nimble and responsive feel. For a more confidence-inspired ride, the vehicle is equipped with a new, high performance All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that seamlessly engages both front wheels with full torque to keep the front wheels pulling stronger and longer, maximizing power delivery to the ground in every condition.  The RZR XP 4 1000 also comes equipped with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) to reduce steering effort and provide all-day comfort while riding.

Inside the cabin, the RZR XP 4 1000 features several upgrades for the most comfort and convenience of any RZR. Up front, both the driver and front passenger will appreciate the seat sliders for tool-less, on-the-fly seat adjustment and space-optimized footrests for a more secure feel. The driver will appreciate a high-performance steering wheel with 10 in/25.4 cm of tilt adjustability. To stay connected, the RZR XP 4 1000 also features sealed smartphone storage that provides visibility of the display while protecting it from the elements. The rear passengers will enjoy a roomier rear cabin due to deeper footwells with angled footrests and sculpted front seats that provide more legroom. The rear seats also are equipped with cup holders and a 12-volt outlet for added convenience.  All passengers will appreciate the newly-designed seats that offer substantially improved bolstering and more hip cushioning for a more secure feel, and a new film technology under the cover for a drier ride in wet conditions. Both the front and rear row have the slick blue LED floor lighting and floor cleanouts.

RZR XP 4 1000 features larger openings and a lower step-in height, for both front and rear passengers, for easier ingress and egress. The factory-installed quarter doors were designed for more elbow room and are equipped with a high-strength, easy-access latch for one hand operation and automotive-quality latching.

RZR enthusiasts love to accessorize their vehicles and the RZR XP 4 1000 was exclusively engineered for Polaris accessories. With integrated mounting points situated along the vehicle frame and pass-through areas for routing wires, accessories can be attached with minimal installation time. Additions, such as rock sliders and bumpers, easily attach and fit securely to the vehicle's frame due to Polaris' innovative Lock & Ride® Expanding Anchor; a revolutionary piece of hardware that expands as it is inserted into a mounting point. Lock & Ride® windshields, rear panels, roofs and doors work seamlessly with each other and install directly onto the vehicle frame's designated mounting points, making installation simple, and providing superior fit and finish.

The RZR XP 4 1000 will be offered in White Lightning and Titanium Matte Metallic, and will be available this month. More information about Polaris' whole line of Off-Road Vehicle offerings and Polaris Engineered Accessories can be found online at www.Polaris.com.

POLARIS INTRODUCES TWO NEW OFF-ROAD MODELS
Scrambler XP 1000 EPS and RANGER XP 900 Deluxe added to the line-up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minneapolis, MN (December 3, 2013)- Polaris® Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), the leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles, today announced the company is adding two more vehicles to its ever-expanding off-road offering. The Scrambler® XP 1000 EPS and the RANGER®  XP 900 Deluxe continue the company's aggressive approach to reinvent its product lines and provide innovative products to meet the demands off-road enthusiasts.

 

"In just the past four months, Polaris has introduced nine new vehicles to its off-road line-up," said David Longren, vice president of Polaris' Off-Road Division. "The Scrambler XP 1000 EPS and RANGER XP 900 Deluxe Editions provide off-road enthusiasts with more options for high-powered recreational vehicles."

 

In 2013, Polaris introduced the Scrambler XP 850 H.O. which offered sport 4x4 performance complemented with a streamlined design and racks to carry necessities making it a great trail companion. The vehicle featured a proven, 77 horsepower, 850 twin, high output EFI engine with Polaris' exclusive On-Demand, True All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with engine braking and a sport-tuned suspension for trail enthusiasts. The vehicle's revolutionary rider ergonomics thanks to the narrow seat, Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) and high ground clearance made for an exhilarating and comfortable 4x4 trail experience. For the trail riding enthusiast who wants all the features found on the Scrambler XP 850 H.O., but desires even more high performance, Polaris is introducing the new Scrambler XP 1000 EPS, the ultimate sport performance machine.

 

The Scrambler XP 1000 EPS has the highest horsepower, fastest acceleration, highest ground clearance and longest suspension travel of any big bore ATV. The vehicle's Polaris-built, single overhead cam 1000 twin engine is based upon the proven 850 twin. The fuel-injected big bore features a 270-degree offset crankshaft and dual balance shafts for in-your-face power that remains incredibly smooth and vibration free. From the instant the Scrambler XP 1000 EPS fires to life, the deep growling exhaust speaks extreme performance. An all-new dual exhaust system allows the engine to breath deep and produces maximum power and performance. For ultimate control on the trail, the unit features Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and Fox® Podium X 2.0 compression adjustable shocks, to tackle any trail obstacle in its way. The vehicle also features matte black cast aluminum wheels with 14 in/35.6 cm Carlisle tires, hand guards, a highly-visible digital gauge cluster, custom seat, dual LED headlights and White Lightning paint.

 

Also launched in 2013, the RANGER XP 900 defined an all-new class of Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding. Innovations such as the ProStar™ 900 engine, all-new chassis, restyled cockpit, more suspension, accessory integration, easier serviceability and a quieter ride catapulted it to one of Polaris' best-selling RANGER vehicles. For off-road enthusiasts who want to work hard and play hard, Polaris is introducing the RANGER XP 900 Deluxe. The vehicle has many of the same hardest working, smoothest riding features found on the RANGER XP 900 EPS with the addition of some new key features providing the ultimate combination of sport and utility.

 

The RANGER XP 900 Deluxe in Nuclear Sunset Orange takes the power of the RANGER XP 900 EPS and couples it with a new cockpit to appeal to the recreational rider. The more-utilitarian bench seat was replaced with bolstered cut-and-sew bucket seats featuring an adjustable driver's seat and center console with integrated storage for improved comfort and ergonomics. Color-matched half doors provide trail riders with more protection from branches and mud, while the factory-installed audio system in the dash provides endless tunes on the trail. When the operator is done having fun, the RANGER XP 900 Deluxe is still a formidable work partner due to RANGER's hardest working features such as On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive, one-ton/907.2 kg towing, 1000 lb/453.6 kg box capacity and 1500 lb/680.4 kg total payload. For added convenience, the RANGER XP 900 Deluxe's cab frame also readily accepts Polaris' Pro-Fit™ Cab systems and the vehicle's bed is Lock & Ride® capable making it quick and easy to turn the unit into a recreational vehicle or work partner.

 

The RANGER XP 900 Deluxe and Scrambler XP 1000 EPS will be available in dealerships in January.

POLARIS DONATING OFF-ROAD VEHICLES FOR THE TORNADO DISASTER RELIEF EFFORT

Units donated to Team Rubicon feature TerrainArmor Non-Pneumatic Tires

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Minneapolis, MN (Nov. 22, 2013) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today announced the company is donating two RANGER 800 full-size, side-by-side vehicles, equipped with TerrainArmor™ Non-Pneumatic Tires (NPT), to help with the tornado disaster relief effort in Washington, Illinois. The units will be donated to Team Rubicon, a non-profit disaster relief organization that unites the skills of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams worldwide.

"Off-Road Vehicles are a great ally in disaster relief due to their ability to traverse the difficult terrain usually found in these situations," said David Longren, vice president of Polaris' Off-Road Division. "Our thoughts go out to the people of Washington, IL and we hope the vehicles serve them well."

The RANGER 800 full-size side-by-sides are outfitted with TerrainArmor NPTs to prevent down time. NPTs are built to never go flat and are virtually indestructible which is highly beneficial due to the terrain obstacles normally encountered in catastrophic situations. As part of their disaster relief effort, Team Rubicon will use the vehicles to assist with debris removal, and transporting supplies and resources across affected communities.

"Team Rubicon is committed to helping communities rebuild in the immediate aftermath of disasters, and we're thankful to have the support of Polaris in providing relief to the residents of Illinois whose homes were destroyed during last weekend's storms," said William McNulty, co-founder, Team Rubicon. "Polaris' generous donation allows us to be more efficient in providing aid to those who need it most."
