Polaris RANGER and RANGER RZR 2010 Line Up

bigblue

New Products, More Power and ROPS Certified Cabs
Model Year 2010 brings more significant changes to Polaris’ RANGER line up with the
introduction of two new utility RANGER Side-by-Sides, increased power to existing models, more
redesigns, a RANGER XP with power steering and a faster top speed for RANGER RZR. All 2010
RANGERs and RANGER RZRs also come standard with a ROPS Certified Cab.
“With the introduction of two new products, more power for the utility line, the redesigned
RANGER CREW and 6×6, and a new top speed for RANGER RZR, the 2010 line up picks up where
the 2009 line up left off,” said Matt Homan, vice president and general manager of Polaris’ Off-Road
division. “We continue to innovate our RANGER line to offer the most extensive Side-by-Side
offering in the industry.”

New for 2010, Polaris is introducing the value-priced, Midsize RANGER 400 and the
company’s first electric vehicle, RANGER EV. Both of these units share the same, smaller, two-seat
chassis, that fits in the back of a pickup truck, with many of the hardest working, smoothest riding
features of their 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 their class.

The RANGER 400, although smaller in stature, delivers on the RANGER promise of “hardest
working” with real work capabilities such as 500 lbs of cargo capacity, 1,000 lbs payload and 1,250
lbs. of towing, at an attractive $7,999 MSRP. The RANGER 400’s smaller size, 455cc high output,
carbureted engine and value price make it an attractive work partner for hunting, farming,
maintaining acreage or doing chores around the property. It boasts 29 horsepower and a top speed
of 40 mph offering the rider plenty of get-up-and-go to ride to that favorite hunting spot, haul feed to
livestock or just take a leisurely ride down the trail. Its On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive ensures it
can tackle muddy pastures or rutted, rocky hunting trails, while the VersaTrac ensures you don’t tear
up the grass. With a full-line of PURE Polaris products including Lock & Ride accessories, cabs,
plows and a speed-regulating, Speed Key, the RANGER 400 can be outfitted to get any job done.

To complement its hard work ethic, the RANGER 400 has smoothest riding features such as
Independent Rear Suspension, long suspension travel and high ground clearance to ensure a
smooth ride and less fatigue on the operator and passenger, making it a true “Hardest Working,
Smoothest Riding” Midsize RANGER.

Sharing the same chassis as the RANGER 400, the all-new RANGER EV electric Side-by-
Side is a first for Polaris. The unit features the largest battery pack in the industry (11.5 kilowatts)
and has the longest range of any electric Midsize. Built for clean and quiet operation, and full of
hardest working, smoothest riding features, the RANGER EV is perfect for hunters and homeowners
with acreage. With its 30 horsepower electric motor, 35-45 mile range, 25 mph top speed and two
hours of riding time between charges, the RANGER EV will transport hunters and their gear to and
from their hunting site with fewer disturbances to game. The unit also features a three modes; High
for speed, Low for towing and hauling, and Max for maximum range. For harsh terrain, such as
muddy fields on the way to fix the fence or trails full of rocks and stumps leading to the tree stand,
the RANGER EV features On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive. For more sensitive terrains and a
better turning radius, RANGER EV has VersaTrac with one-wheel, rear-wheel drive to prevent
damage and also better navigate tight areas often encountered in the woods. The RANGER EV has
a 500 lb. Lock & Ride cargo box with 1,250 lb. towing and 1,000 lb. total payload making hauling
hunting gear or game a breeze; and the model’s exclusive 48-volt, AC Induction motor provides high
performance with low maintenance and can be charged using a standard 110 vac outlet. For quick
charges between rides, PURE Polaris is offering a quick charge kit for RANGER 400 to get you back
on the trails.

In 2009, Polaris introduced the ruggedly re-engineered RANGER that was the hardest
working and smoothest riding RANGER EVER built, and introduced the new RANGER HD, the
ultimate heavy-duty utility vehicle with a self leveling rear suspension and power steering. This year,
the company powered up the RANGER 4×4 (now called RANGER 500 H.O.) with a 500 H.O engine
and added an 800 EFI engine across the rest of the line. The RANGER 4×4 gets a 13 percent power
increase with the 500 H.O. engine, and the RANGER XP (now called RANGER 800 XP) receives a
15 percent power upgrade with the addition of the 800 twin EFI power plant. The 800cc engine also
has been added to the RANGER 800 HD, RANGER 800 CREW and RANGER 800 6×6 solidifying
the “Hardest Working” RANGER promise.

Along with the power boost, Polaris has added a RANGER 800 XP model with Polaris’
exclusive electronic power steering with variable assist. The system allows for one-finger steering at
low speeds and eliminates feedback at high speeds so the operator can work longer and enjoy the
ride.

Polaris also expanded the work, ride and improved ergonomics from the 2009 RANGER XP
and introduced Dual A-arm front suspension to the six-passenger RANGER 800 CREW and
RANGER 800 6×6. To create an exterior that could handle the nastiest work and most extreme
riding conditions, the models offer the most-armored front end ever designed to protect vital
components such as the radiator, cooling system and front differential. The front headlights were
inset for added protection from rocks and branches, and the redesigned bumper with a heavy-duty
bash plate offers dedicated vehicle tie down points, massive central tow hook and inset tow hook
cage for additional front differential protection. For working at night or to get the hunting spot before
daybreak, the vehicles offer auxiliary light mounting holes on the front bumper and bosses already
installed for optional Halogen/LED distance headlights.

The RANGER 800 CREW and 6×6 work harder and are easier on the operator due to
improved and thoughtful ergonomics designed to let the operator work longer and enjoy a better
ride. The new models feature more seat and leg space including two-inches more for back-seat
passengers on the RANGER 800 CREW, reoriented gas and brake pedal for improved operator
comfort, new angled-back seat and a relocated brake lever for easy operation inside and outside of
the vehicle. Polaris also redesigned the steering wheel for better steering with gloves and added
standard tilt steering with the highest range of motion for maximum comfort. Along with tilt steering,
the new models have a 50 percent easier steering effort which helps maneuverability in tight areas
such as work sites or woods. RANGER 800 6×6 also is furnished with a new a new, truck-like job
box between the cargo box and cab. The cargo box is rated for 1,250 pounds, while the job box
handles an extra 250 pounds, and the boxes are Lock & Ride capable.

To make the smoothest ride in the industry even smoother, Polaris outfitted the new
RANGER 800 CREW and 6×6 with exclusive adjustable Dual A-Arm front suspension in addition to
its legendary smooth independent rear suspension. Exclusive to RANGER line, the RANGER 800
CREW features motion ratio and preload suspension adjustment front and rear while the RANGER
800 6×6 offers Independent Rear Suspension with motion ration adjustability on all six wheels. The
new Dual A-Arm suspension has two upper shock mounting points for each wheel giving a motion
ratio adjustment that dramatically increases the stiffness of suspension. The preload adjustment,
available on each wheel, increases the initial spring compression for a 30 percent stiffer ride when
needed. The new suspension allows for the maintenance of ground clearance (12 in/30.5 cm) and
suspension travel (9.6 in/24.5 cm front, 9 in/22.9 cm rear) when carrying heavier loads and using
accessories such as plows, cabs and sprayers for work applications. It also allows for easier use of
after-market suspension packages. To combat ruts, stumps and rocks, the new RANGERs also offer
anti-kickback steering that reduces feedback over bumps and makes the vehicle steerable with one
hand.

While the 2010 RANGER utility line works harder, the 2010 RANGER RZR line plays harder
with even more RZR sharp performance. Last model year, Polaris introduced the RANGER RZR S,
the ultimate, pure-sport Side-by-Side built for the desert, dunes and open spaces to complement the
50-inch, trail-capable RANGER RZR. For 2010, RANGER RZR achieves a new top speed of 60
mph and both units feature a ROPS certified cab.

Polaris also will offer a variety of Limited Edition models for their 2010 line up. On the utility
side, the RANGER 800 XP Limited Editions include Pearl White, Navy/Sandstone and a Browning
Edition. The RANGER 800 CREW will be available in Sandstone Metallic. RANGER RZR Limited
Editions include Tequila Gold and Turbo Silver, and Orange Madness for RANGER RZR S.
