MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT MOTORCYCLE

The 2016 Indian Chieftain

 The Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin is the powerful heart & soul, delivering 119 ft-lbs of torque, tremendous acceleration & an exhaust note from its true dual exhaust that is music to a real rider's ears.

The Chieftain has advanced features to optimize the ride experience. With automotive-quality ABS braking, you ride with confidence that you'll brake under control in all situations. The cruise control is easy to set & adjust so you enjoy smooth, relaxed cruising.

The windshield atop the stylish, protective fairing can be raised or lowered electronically with the push of a handlebar-mounted button. A rider can lower the windshield to enjoy cooling airflow or raise it to block wind & rain.

The fairing features an integrated audio system that delivers premium-quality sound from dual high-output speakers. An audio source such as a smart phone can be connected by cable or through Bluetooth® connectivity.

Never fumble with a key again. With the key fob in your pocket, just climb on, start it up & ride. Walk away with confidence, too. The engine will only start & run when the fob is in close proximity to the bike. Misplace the fob? Just enter your personal security code and ride on.

The Chieftain steering geometry is engineered to deliver light, responsive handing whether this faired bike is being ridden solo with no cargo, or 2-up with full saddlebags. It delivers handling more like a sport bike than a heavyweight bagger.

Riders' cargo is protected in the convenient, spacious hard saddlebags that have lockable lids with weatherproof seals. The lids can be locked electronically using a console-mounted button - or the bike's key fob.
 
MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT ORV
2015 Polaris Ranger 900 XP Hunter Deluxe Edition
    
The RANGER XP 900 ProStar engine is purpose built, tuned and designed alongside the vehicle - resulting in an optimal balance of smooth, reliable power. The ProStar XP 900 engine was developed with the ultimate combination of high power density, excellent fuel efficiency and ease of maintenance.

NEW: 13% more power! Now with a high-output 68 HP ProStar engine that leaves the utility side-by-side competition in the dust - 36% more than the 2014 John Deere Gator 825i. The RANGER XP 900 delivers more torque and pulling power to get the job done. Disclaimer: All competitive comparisons are based on 2013/2014 models and on published manufacturer specifications available at time of printing. Gator is a registered trademark of Deere & Company. HP numbers are based on 2013 Executive Orders issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) All horsepower specs tested and verified by a third party entity

With the Polaris true AWD advantage, all four wheels engage automatically when your vehicle needs more forward traction and reverts back to 2WD when it doesn't. When in 2WD, the VersaTrac Turf Mode switch unlocks the rear differential for easier, tighter turns that won't tear up your lawn.

The engine management system (EMS) delivers optimal torque and horsepower at all speeds and altitudes, plus smooth throttle at all speeds and reverse. The EMS, paired with the ProStar engine and clutching advantage, also allows for optimal fuel economy.

With a monstrous class-leading 2,000 lbs. towing capacity and standard 2" receiver, the RANGER XP 900 allows you to tackle the toughest jobs with confidence. Additionally, a class-leading 1,500 lbs payload capacity is highlighted by a rear box with gas-assist dumping operation that can tote up to 1,000 lbs. of materials and a full-sized pallet.

We designed the RANGER XP 900 with an ideal seat height combined with wide foot clearance for easy entry and exit. Plus, experience a plush split bench with adjustable driver's seat, a full 10 inches of tilt steering adjustment and room for three full-sized adults.

The smoothest, most responsive electronic power steering available, with Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds. Our EPS lets you work and ride all day with less fatigue.

A full 10" (25.4 cm) of Dual A-Arm suspension travel up front and 10" (25.4 cm) of Independent Rear Suspension travel keeps the ride smooth, even when hauling up to 1,500 lbs. (680.4 kg) of payload and towing up to a full ton!

Polaris engineers designed the RANGER XP 900 with a perfect balance of smooth riding, handling and turning radius from an ideal 81" (206 cm) wheelbase paired with a full foot (30.5 cm) of ground clearance.

Premium PXT tires mated to robust matte black steel wheels for ultimate traction and durability, on the hunt or trail to the Back Forty.

A driver's side fuel access for the large 10-gallon (37.9 L) tank makes fill-ups on the job or while trailering a breeze. And maintenance has never been easier. To check and fill engine oil, just raise the cargo box. Plus, there are plenty of grease zerks to flush joints of debris.

Welcome to the new standard in accessory integration, quality and fit and finish with the industry-exclusive Pro-Fit cab system. The highly modular cab system offers cab options from robust canvas doors featuring a poly windshield to premium automotive glass tip-out windshields and power window molded doors. Even better, the purpose built chassis features dedicated component attachment points to allow for extremely efficient cab installation or removal.

With the RANGER XP 900, enjoy a full 37 L of enclosed storage plus plenty of easy-to-access in dash storage that keeps items at the ready when they're needed.

The RANGER XP 900 EPS Hunter Edition comes standard with a factory-installed 4,500 lbs. winch, dual gun scabbards - positioned above the cargo bed - cut and sew seats (adjustable for driver) and engine braking.

With a built in winch mount, buss bar under the hood for easy access and convenient dash access, wire routing to install accessories is extremely user friendly.

The 1000 Twin EFI engine with a SOHC cranks out 88 HP. It delivers outstanding acceleration off the line with incredible power to the ground. This big bore features a 270-degree offset crankshaft and dual balance shafts for awesome power that remains incredibly smooth and vibration free.

The high-performance close ratio AWD system is the fastest engaging AWD system available. The instant you need more traction the system engages all four tires to give you forward traction while working with the Electronic Power Steering system for precision handling. The system automaticlly reverts back to 2WD when you're back on solid ground.

Engine Braking System (EBS) and Active Descent Control (ADC) work together to provide four wheel braking for optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents.

Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for 10.25" of travel leading to a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.

The smoothest, most responsive power steering available, with 30% more power assist than the leading competitor, plus Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds. Our EPS let's you ride all day with less fatigue from steering.

Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tire and having the long Dual A-Arm Front Suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts to the handlebars from trail and ground obstacles.

With 11.5" of ground clearance, clear bigger rocks, navigate deeper ruts, and go where other ATVs can't.

With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrow vehicle width at the knees and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.

POLARIS INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW GEM®
New electric vehicles are engineered for comfort, built with more safety features and offer Smart Power options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), a recognized leader in the powersports industry, is proudly introducing the all-new Polaris GEM® . The new GEM has more built-in comfort and street-legal safety features than a golf cart, and is more maneuverable, cost-efficient and sustainable than a truck or van. It offers a spacious interior with a compact footprint and quiet electric power for low-cost, low maintenance operation. GEM is the market leader in the electric low-speed vehicle (LSV) industry and has sold more than 50,000 vehicles worldwide. GEM vehicles have been driven more than 450 million miles, saving almost 20 million gallons of gasoline. And now, the ride is even better.

Whether you're moving people or cargo, the new GEM vehicles get the job done easily and efficiently. Built with quality and durability in mind, GEM features an aluminum chassis that passes SAE roof-crush-test standards, front-wheel disc brakes, an automotive-style suspension and a variety of maintenance free battery options. The result is a reliable, zero-emissions vehicle with a smoother ride.

"Facilities managers, operations directors, and electric-vehicle consumers have come to count on Polaris GEM vehicles to improve productivity and efficiency," says John Stockman, GEM director at Polaris. "The all-new GEM takes what our customers already love about these vehicles and improves the ergonomics, ride and range. We've also added more comfort and safety features to provide an even better experience for both rider and driver, with the added benefit of just $.03 per mile cost of ownership."

GEM vehicles provide the versatility to go anywhere - indoors, outdoors, streets or sidewalks. GEM's premium safety features including high-back forward-facing seats, 3-pt. seat belts, an automotive glass windshield, and LED signal lights provide drivers and riders increased confidence. With a maximum speed of 25 mph, GEM vehicles are legal to drive on streets in most states and provinces, typically on roads marked up to 35 mph. The optional RiderX ™ app provides free access to maps of nearby residential roads, helping you plan your trip as well as track your vehicle's performance.
To provide even more driver confidence, the new GEMs include Smart Power. Smart Power matches the power to the task, combining an efficient electrical system and a right-sized motor, with the ability to choose the best combination of battery and charge options. In addition to more traditional battery options, GEM is the first vehicle in the industry to offer a warranty-backed Li-Ion battery. Not only does Li-Ion dramatically improve the distances you can cover - up to three times the range - you can also expect two-to-three-times the battery cycles. This means in the entire life of your GEM, you may never need another battery.

In addition to battery options, all GEM vehicles are fully customizable to enhance comfort, convenience and productivity. In-windshield defrost, electronic power steering, integrated doors and a full range of rear carrier options are just a few of the factory-installed and warranty backed options available with a GEM. The GEM eL XD is the first vehicle of its kind to offer a recessed bed option to lower loading height and maximize hauling capability. With its rugged build, the ability to haul over fourteen-hundred pounds, and the wide variety of accessories, this vehicle delivers a smart alternative to traditional transportation options.
