The 2015 Victory Magnum X-1
 Twist the throttle and crank the volume. On the Magnum X-1, pushing the sound barrier is about more than just speed. Throw a leg over and plug into 10 speakers blasting 200 watts powered by a 106 cubic inch Freedom® V-twin. This is our loudest bike ever. It harmonizes your riding style with your music style, and puts you center stage as the headliner of a rocket concert
10 Speaker, 200 Watt Audio with Bluetooth Take the loud route home. The Magnum X-1 is 4X louder than the Cross Country™, 2X louder than the Magnum. Trips on the Magnum X-1 are measured in miles and decibels.
21" Black Billet Wheel These 21-inch Black Billet wheels play big and loud. They are machined from a single block of aluminum, making them stronger, lighter, and just damn good looking. Get ready for admirers and groupies.
LED Headlight The Magnum X-1 enjoys the LED limelight. This smoke tinted LED headlight is 74% brighter than the Cross Country™. From a distance at night, the Magnum X-1 sounds and looks like a rock and roll laser show.
Electric Red Pin Striping with Platinum Fade Paint Even the paint job is loud. Electric Red pops off the black gloss paint and echoes in eye balls of anyone lucky enough to see a Magnum X-1 live.
ADD VICTORY ACCESSORIES TO MAKE IT ALL YOURS With Victory accessories, you can customize your bike without ever missing a beat. The show just rolls on.

The 2015 Indian Chieftain

The 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.
Spacious hard saddlebags are mounted on quick-release anchors and feature remote electronic locks you control with a console mounted button - or a convenient key fob.
Raise and lower the power-adjustable windshield with the push of a button to customize airflow and protection.
The fairing houses an audio system that delivers clean, quality sound from dual high-output speakers. The aerodynamic fairing blocks wind to allow you to enjoy your highway playlist without interference.
Driving lights provide both style and protection down any road you choose to take.
The integrated Bluetooth® smart phone connection makes it easy to run music stored in the phone through the Indian® Chieftain® audio system. Playlist info is displayed on the multi-function display screen, and switches near the handgrip make it easy to control the audio. Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Bluetooth Sig, Inc.
Enjoy convenient and secure keyless starting. With the Indian® Chieftain® 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.
The engine produces a rich exhaust note from the true dual exhaust. The exhaust was acoustically engineered to eliminate high-pitched sounds, so what you really hear is Indian Motorcycle® thunder.
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE® BADGING One of the classic elements of an Indian Motorcycle® is the vintage badging. Ever since the Indian® script logo was first created in 1910, this feature has made the Indian Motorcycle® badging a hallmark of this historic brand.
Warbonnet Lighting the way as it has done since 1947 is the iconic Warbonnet. Mounted proudly atop the front fender in a chrome frame, this light makes it clear, "This is a genuine Indian Motorcycle®."
VALENCED FENDERS 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.
BRAKE CALIPER COVERS Every Indian Motorcycle® 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.
The first Indian Motorcycle of its kind. The 2015 Indian Chieftain maintains the legendary Indian Chief styling, while taking this progressive machine to new heights with advanced features and premium comfort.
Exhaust Add the Stage 1 Slip-On Exhaust and enjoy a rich, throaty exhaust note that provides the perfect soundtrack for the open road. This exhaust system allows the Thunder Stroke™ 111 motorcycle engine to breath more freely and unleash additional power and crisp throttle response. Add extra style to your exhaust with a set of Six Shooter Exhaust Tips.
Performance Boost the performance of your Indian® Motorcycle®, create more legroom on the left side of the engine, and enhance the style of the Thunder Stroke® 111 V-Twin. The "Big Sucker" intake lets the engine "inhale" more freely for a slight performance gain, and it enhances throttle response.
Storage Add style, comfort and outstanding storage space by installing a Trunk on your bike. The trunk has many luxury features and provides access to the cargo area, which is spacious enough to hold two full-face helmets.
Passenger Comfort A passenger will enjoy a comfortable, stable perch with these Passenger Floorboards. The strong metal base, with grooved rubber top, is hinged so the floorboards can be flipped up when not in use.
Pinnacle Heel Shifter The adjustable Chrome Heel Shifter adds extra style to your Indian® Motorcycle®, and it accommodates riders who prefer heel shifting.

SCRAMBLER 1000
89 Horsepower* The powerful 4-stroke 1000 engine represents the next generation of power for the Scrambler. 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.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CLOSE RATIO ON-DEMAND AWD Still the best automatic 4x4 system out there, the AWD engages all four tires when the rear wheels slip and you need more forward traction. Reverts back to 2WD when you don't.
BALANCED DUAL REAR EXIT EXHAUST The new Scrambler XP 1000 speaks extreme performance through a pair of symmetrical, high-mount exhaust pipes. With a high RPM throaty growl and deep rumble at idle, the stainless steel dual system defines the view others see most.
PERFORMANCE TIRES Especially designed for 4WD Sport Recreation the 14" 489 II tires maximize traction in mud and on loose terrain.
RACKS You have gear that you need to bring with you on a full day of riding and the Scrambler XP answers the call with two highly functional racks (front and rear) for 75 lbs total capacity.
HARDEST WORKING ROOTS Equipped with a high/low speed transmission, the Scrambler XP 1000 is capable of towing over 1,500 pounds and can be equipped with a winch, plow, and other hard working accessories. modal image
PREMIUM FOX PODIUM X SHOCKS Premium Fox Podium X shocks paired with our legendary Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for 10.25" of travel leading to a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.

ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy wider floorboards and narrow vehicle width at the knees and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.

POLARIS ACQUIRES HAMMERHEAD OFF-ROAD VEHICLES BUSINESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Expertise in Light Utility Vehicles and Go-Karts Complements Polaris' Existing Product Portfolio MINNEAPOLIS, MN (February 18, 2015) -Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire HH Investment Limited ("Hammerhead"). Hammerhead manufactures gasoline powered go-karts, light utility vehicles, and electric utility vehicles in Shanghai, China. The Company markets its products globally under the Hammerhead Offroad® brand, along with maintaining key private label relationships with other OEMs. The transaction is expected to close within the next 90 days. The terms of the pending transaction were not disclosed. "Hammerhead provides Polaris with a unique opportunity to expand both our international manufacturing footprint and our armada of off-road products," said Scott Wine, Polaris Chairman and CEO. "We are impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation of the Hammerhead team, and look forward to pursuing new customers in new markets with their high-quality and low-cost off-road vehicles. We are excited to establish Polaris' operational footprint in China and believe the opportunities for further international growth are significant." Hammerhead's main manufacturing operation is located in Shanghai, China, near Polaris' Chinese subsidiary. Hammerhead also has an operation located north of Dallas, Texas responsible for light assembly and sales distribution of its products in North America. Hammerhead will continue to market its products under the Hammerhead brand and operate under its current leadership structure as a stand-alone entity. "I am thrilled at the opportunity to make Hammerhead a part of Polaris and its growing portfolio of global brands," said Jerry Qiu, Chairman of Hammerhead. "I am very proud of what we have built at Hammerhead. We share the same enthusiasm and passion for off-road vehicles as Polaris and look forward to sharing our mutual expertise as we take our products, engineering and manufacturing skills to the next level."
