MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT MOTORCYCLE

Introducing the 2014 Victory Cross Country Tour!
Gold Mist over Gloss Black
Touring motorcycle riders are rolling up the miles on the innovative Cross Country Tour from Victory Motorcycles. It has the most storage space of any motorcycle in the world, unmatched comfort, superb performance and distinctive style. Pack everything you need, take to the road and relax for weeks.

WORLD'S LARGEST TOTAL CARGO CAPACITY

The Cross Country Tour has the most cargo space of any motorcycle in the world. Its trunk, saddlebags and two front storage compartments provide a total of 41.1 gallons of storage space. Whatever you want to bring, go ahead. With a Cross Country Tour, there's plenty of room.

ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS

If your passenger's not happy, nobody's happy. The Cross Country Tour has adjustable passenger floorboards that will keep everyone happy and comfortable out on the road. These floorboards can be set in any of three positions over a 2" height range of adjustability, and they can be adjusted at a 10° angle for optimal comfort.

106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM® V-TWIN

The Victory® Freedom® 106/6 V-Twin is a 106-ci powerplant that provides Cross Country Tour riders with 106 ft-lb of torque. Smooth, powerful, and efficient, it's a counter-balanced and fuel-injected engine that delivers confidence-inspiring performance for touring riders who like to lead, not follow.

6-SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE

A Cross Country Tour rider enjoys smooth shifting and great 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.

CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING (ABS)

The Victory Anti-Lock Brake System on the Cross Country Tour provides riders with peace of mind in all riding conditions. When traction is compromised, the ABS immediately and automatically provides reliable braking to help a rider stop quickly and under control.

VICTORY COMFORT CONTROL SYSTEM™

The exclusive Victory Comfort Control System™ consists of Upper Air Controls and Lower Air Controls a rider uses to manage airflow reaching the riders. In cold or wet conditions, close the controls to block the elements. In warm weather, open them up to enjoy cooling airflow.

CRUISE CONTROL

Once you're out on the open road, activate the cruise control to enjoy easy, relaxed cruising. This automotive-quality 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 or brake.

4.7 INCHES OF REAR SUSPENSION TRAVEL

The open road can get a little rough, so it's great to have the plush 4.7" of smooth travel provided by the Cross Country Tour rear suspension. Keep the ride consistently smooth with the easy-adjust air shock. Consult the air pressure chart, adjust the air shock with a hand pump and enjoy the incredibly smooth ride - whether you're riding solo or 2-up, with or without cargo on board.

SPACIOUS SADDLEBAGS & PROTECTIVE RAILS

Cross Country Tour saddlebags set the standard for cargo capacity, protection and security. These twin bags offer a total of 21.3 gallons of cargo space, and the lockable lids have weatherproof seals to protect gear inside. Chrome rails that extend beyond the base of the saddlebags complement the bike's style and provide outstanding low-speed tip-over protection.

HEATED HANDGRIPS & INDIVIDUAL HEATED SEATS

Extend the riding season with the heated handgrips and heated seats. The driver can enjoy heated handgrips with a choice of Hi & Lo settings. The seats feature internal heating elements and the driver and passenger have individual controls with Hi & Lo settings. Add a month or more on both ends of the riding season with the flip of a switch.

TALL WINDSHIELD

The tall windshield complements the excellent weather protection of the fairing and Victory Comfort Control System. It deflects wind, rain and road debris and ensures a rider will have reliable visibility in all conditions. To customize your bike, there are several Victory accessory windshields available in a wide range of heights, styles and tints.

26.25" SEAT HEIGHT

The Cross Country Tour has a 26.25" seat height - the lowest in its class. This helps riders with all inseam lengths plant both feet firmly on the ground. A lower seat height provides the rider with greater control of the bike and enhances a rider's confidence at low speeds and when stopped.

12V ACCESSORY POWER OUTLET

Keep electronic accessories running strong using the Cross Country Tour's two 12v power outlets. They let riders charge items such as phones, and they can be used to power heated apparel, GPS units and more. Power outlets are located in the left front cargo compartment and in the trunk.

POLARIS ACQUIRES KOLPIN OUTDOORS, INC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Addition of Kolpin enhances Polaris offerings in the powersports accessories market

 

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (April 1, 2014) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE:  PII) today announced the acquisition of Kolpin Outdoors, Inc., a privately held, Wisconsin-based company that develops branded and private label powersports accessories. Committed to innovation and growth, Kolpin is a leading aftermarket accessory brand delivering purpose-built and universal-fit Off-Road Vehicles (ORV) accessories and outdoor lifestyle products. This acquisition adds Kolpin to Polaris' growing parts, garments and accessories (PG&A) business. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

 

"Acquiring Kolpin Outdoors, Inc. creates a multitude of growth opportunities for our PG&A business, which is a key contributor to Polaris' top-line growth and profitability," said Steve Eastman, Polaris' vice president of PG&A. "Kolpin is a trusted brand among ORV riders, hunters, outdoorsmen, and landowners who value the quality and reliability Kolpin builds into their powersports accessories. Their lineup of exceptional products and deep consumer and retail relationships will help Polaris expand our aftermarket accessories portfolio and enhance our traditional and online distribution channels. "

 

Kolpin products will continue to be sold under the Kolpin and Cycle Country brands, with customized private label products available through its Premier O.E.M. business. Polaris will further develop Kolpin's established brand by applying its product innovation and engineering acumen to Kolpin's operations, and leveraging its existing dealer and consumer relationships to extend the brand's exposure.

 

"It gives all of us at Kolpin great pride to become part of the Polaris family. Although different in size, we share many of the same values; small town roots, quality products, life-style brand focus and a rich heritage in product innovation," said Tom Lutes, president and CEO of Kolpin. "I am confident the combination of Polaris and Kolpin will further enhance the value of our brand to both our consumers and distribution partners alike."

 

Since 1943, Kolpin has a rich history of providing customers with a wide array of hunting products, accessories and innovative aftermarket solutions. Kolpin has an intimate knowledge of the outdoor lifestyle market that closely complements Polaris' core powersports business.

POLARIS ENTERS 10-YEAR EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relationship to Focus on Off-Road Vehicle Safety, Environmental Sustainability, and Recreational Benefits of Off-Road Riding

 

Minneapolis, MN (March 27, 2014) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), the leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles (ORVs), today announced the company has entered a 10-year, exclusive partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, the largest youth organization in the U.S., to provide all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), side-by-sides (SxS) and safety equipment to select Boy Scout camps across the country.

 

"Polaris is proud to join forces with the Boy Scouts of America to develop a comprehensive off-road vehicle program that introduces youth to our sport with an emphasis on safety, responsible riding and respect for the environment," said Scott Wine, Polaris Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are encouraged by the success of the pilot off-road programs and look forward to expanding the course to a national level."

 

The partnership promotes youth off-road safety practices, environmental respect and the benefits of outdoor activities. Polaris has donated ORVs and safety gear to the BSA's Northern Star Council's Tomahawk Scout Reservation, the second largest Boy Scout camp in the nation, and the Northern Lights Council's Camp Wilderness. The pilot programs at these camps were very popular, with more than 900 Boy Scouts learning basic riding and maintenance while earning safety patches. This 10-year partnership will improve and extend the reach of these courses.

 

"The off-road vehicle pilot we conducted in conjunction with Polaris and several local council camps proved to be both successful and very popular among the youth," said Chief Scout Executive Wayne Brock. "As we work to keep our programs relevant to the youth of today and tomorrow, we are grateful for this opportunity to work closely with Polaris.  We are excited that in the coming years, with the help of Polaris, we will be able to teach youth safe and responsible practices for the use of off-road vehicles."

 

Polaris vehicles available to camp visitors for the program include the easy-to-use Phoenix 200, Sportsman 570 EPS and RZR 170 youth SxS. As part of the donation, Polaris will adjust models as needed and replace older units over time to ensure that Boy Scouts always have the most up-to-date and age-appropriate vehicles available.
