Polaris Introduces 2013 Line-Up

For the past five years, Polaris has aggressively launched new products, evolved its off-road offerings and became No. 1 in the off-road industry with one of the best and most-innovative ATV and Side-by-Side offerings available. For model year 2013, Polaris will continue to innovate by introducing three new vehicles and making significant upgrades to existing products. “Polaris’ innovation continues, once again, by creating products that raise the performance and value bar in the off-road industry,” said David Longren, Polaris Off-Road Division’s Vice President and General Manager. “From the hardest working, smoothest riding ATV and RANGER side-by-sides, to the RZR line with the ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility, Polaris offers the most-complete line-up of off-road vehicles on the market.” Polaris RANGER utility vehicles are the Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding Side-by-Sides available in full-size, midsize and multi-passenger models. Back for 2013, the full size RANGER 800 EFI is the standard of Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding but for 2013, Polaris also is defining an all new class of “Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding” with the new, full size RANGER XP 900. The vehicle features a new ProStar 900 engine, all-new chassis, more suspension, new restyled cockpit, new flip-up seat storage, larger gas tank, new Lock & Ride™ PRO-FIT cab accessories, easier serviceability and a quieter ride due to engine repositioning. The RANGER XP 900 will join the RANGER 800 and RANGER Diesel in the full size category. New to the Midsize line, the RANGER 800 EFI Midsize combines Polaris' reliable 800cc engine with the midsize chassis for a combination that provides Big Bore performance in a smaller, two-seat model that fits in the back of a pickup truck. The RANGER 800 EFI Midsize is perfect for any customer looking for a midsized footprint and price, with full size power. The unit has many of the hardest working, smoothest riding features of its full-sized counterparts: On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive with VersaTrac, Independent Rear Suspension, heavy duty front end protection, high ground clearance and the longest suspension travel in its class. The RANGER 500 EFI, RANGER 400 and RANGER EV round out the midsize offering.

To complement the ProStar engine, the RANGER XP 900 features a new, durable drivetrain built to handle the unit’s higher horsepower.

2013 Pure Polaris Accessories

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, and the all-new Scrambler XP 850 H.O. ATV.

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 P 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. RO-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-installed Lock & Ride PRO-FIT quarter-turn handles. Non-Lock & Ride cab components are also easy to attach, with mounting points integrated into the cab frame.

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.

Glacier PRO Plow System Features Hydraulics To Maximize Productivity 

The new Glacier PRO Plow System is a versatile, premium-quality plow designed for the 2013 RANGER XP 900. It features Lock & Ride technology, for easy plow blade installation and removal that takes just seconds.

The plow system is modular in design. Consumers can choose winch or hydraulic blade lift, and manual or hydraulic blade angle. Hydraulics and winch are controlled remotely from the operator’s seat. The Glacier PRO Plow System features a durable, cast plow frame, heavy-duty 18 inch steel plow blade to move a lot of snow, and up to 18-inch blade lift height.

Polaris PRO HD Winch Are Filled With Premium Features

New Polaris PRO HD Winches deliver durable, versatile pulling power, with countless uses at work and during recreational riding. They are available with a 4500 lb. rated pull, for all RANGER and RZR models.

These durable and reliable winches have many premium features, including 50 feet of strong and easy-handling synthetic rope, and an aluminum fairlead with built-in auto-stop technology. It turns the winch off automatically when the pull or lift is completed and the hook reaches the fairlead. Polaris PRO HD Winches also feature hand held remote controls so the winch can be operated standing away from the vehicle or in the comfort and safety of the RANGER or RZR cab. Polaris PRO HD winches also feature cut metal drive gears and a steel spool for unmatched durability and reliability, a low-voltage contactor for minimal draw on the battery, and 40% quieter spool operation.
