UNFAZED
POLARIS® RIDE & HANDLING. LEADING THE WAY SINCE 1954. At Polaris we never take a
back seat when it comes to delivering superior ride and handling. It’s the very essence of a Polaris
snowmobile and we’ve been doing it longer and better than anyone. Over 25 years ago, Polaris launched
the snowmobile suspension era and no other brand has advanced suspension technology further.
And with each generation of ride technology, it’s what separates our sleds from all the rest.

UNFAZED
POLARIS® RIDE & HANDLING. LEADING THE WAY SINCE 1954. At Polaris we never take a
back seat when it comes to delivering superior ride and handling. It’s the very essence of a Polaris
snowmobile and we’ve been doing it longer and better than anyone. Over 25 years ago, Polaris launched
the snowmobile suspension era and no other brand has advanced suspension technology further.
And with each generation of ride technology, it’s what separates our sleds from all the rest.
