#PolarisRanger

The Limited Edition DARPA Polaris Ranger XP 900 EPS and GEM electric vehicles will be used as part of the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Finals to be held June 5-6, at the Fairplex, in Pomona, Calif.

The Challenge Finals will have robots perform a number of tasks in a continuous course, simulating what might be encountered in a real disaster situation. DARPA will use the Ranger XP 900 EPS to help demonstrate a robot’s ability to operate and to egress from a vehicle, since they are among the tools commonly on hand in disaster zones.

ATV, Side-by-Side and Snowmobile enthusiasts take note – Polaris is giving away six different amazing prize packages.

Now through December 31, Polaris is hosting the Ultimate Garage Giveaway. To enter consumers need to head to their local dealership to get a code to enter at www.polaris.com/ultimategarage to win one of six Polaris garages. The garages include one vehicle, one youth vehicle and garage accessories. Among the accessories are a Polaris P1000i Generator, Polaris-branded toolbox, and a Polaris light.

Hornet Outdoors has created products for Polaris ATV and UTV owners looking to add more storage capacity. Hornet offers products that can more than double the storage capacity of some vehicles, as well as a host of other items to help you get the most out of your machine.

Hornet’s rear cargo racks and box side rails add storage space for campers, hunters, farmers and ranchers to pack more gear. With steel tubing, one-piece welded construction, powder coat finish and tool-less installation, you can carry just about anything with you. Prices start at $149 for Sportsman ATVs, $199 for the Sportsman ACE, $399 for the Ranger and $499 for the RZR.

It’s hard to think of a better use for Polaris’ new non-pneumatic tires (NPT) than on a vehicle helping with disaster relief. That’s exactly what Polaris is doing, having donated a pair of Ranger 800 full-size UTVs equipped with the all-but indestructible tires for the tornado disaster relief effort in Washington, Ill.

The units will be donated to Team Rubicon, a non-profit disaster relief organization that unites the skills of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams worldwide.

Moose Utility Division had UTV owners in mind with its latest new products – full-size Polaris Ranger doors and a UTV cover.

Polaris Ranger owners can add a line of protection from the outside elements with the addition of the Moose Utility Division Full Size Ranger Doors. Made with a UV-resistant, heavyweight nylon, the fully-removable doors provide a tight seal around the cab to keep water and wind out. The doors also feature a sturdy tubular steel frame and come with a steel door latch. The upper door covers can be easily removed for increased ventilation and there is an extra window on the bottom half of the doors for added visibility in tight spots. Installation is made easy with no drilling required and the Quickfit strapping system in place.
