2010 Polaris Ranger 400 Side by Side Video Review
I had a great opportunity to get invited to the 2010 Pre-launch of Polaris’ new models in their ATV and Side by Side line up last month. I was able to test the new ATVs and Side x Sides out on their company test tracks there in Minnesota. I also toured their new R&D facility. Wow, that was very impressive. Was able to see how they test, re-test, and check for all kinds of things for quality control and research. I have to say I was very fortunately, as this was the first time they invited editors to their development facility. They have 600 acres to work with…
Some big claims were made at their meeting. Two of them definitely caught my attention.
- #1 share in the ATV AND Side by Side market
- Last year hit the 1 million units sold of their Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV
Polaris is coming out with an incredible lineup for 2010. Where most ATV manufacturers are scrambling to come out with anything new this year due to the bad economy, Polaris is going full steam ahead.
One unit that I was really excited about is the new 2010 Ranger 400 Side by Side - mid size. This is 3.5″ narrower than the full size Ranger and will fit in the back of a pickup truck. The Ranger 400 will hit a top speed of 40 mph. Check out the above video for a short review and walk through.
More big news that goes along with the Ranger 400 is the new 2010 Ranger EV Side by Side. This is a new mid-size Electric. Yes, Polaris is the first major manufacturer to offer a performance Side x Side in the electric market.
I have some video of this new Ranger EV and will post a video shortly.
