AJ shows us the differences between his own personal gently used 2010 Polaris Ranger 400 H.O. and the new for 2026 Polaris Ranger 500 pointing out the differences in features, capabilities and pricing.
AJ takes us on a trip down Memory Lane walking us through all the features of his recently purchased and very well-cared for 2010 Polaris Ranger 400 H.O.
Following Mike’s first ride late last season, Luke gets to share his thoughts on the mid-sized and value-focused Polaris Ranger 500 and talks about what he likes and dislikes about this machine and what buyers can expect after nearly a full season’s use.
Gates G-Force RedLine CVT belts are engineered to handle the heat, torque and demanding conditions that come with pushing your ATV or side-by-side to its limits.
Whether you’re climbing steep hills, crawling through technical trails or running for extended periods with your foot mashed to the mat, RedLine belts deliver greater heat resistance and recovery, which helps maintain consistent belt performance under demanding conditions.
At the heart of the RedLine’s performance is Gates’ optimized, patented EE compound, which maximizes axial stiffness and allows the belt to handle higher continuous torque and loads, making it well suited to high-performance machines equipped with larger tires or performance upgrades.
The innovative belt design also helps improve acceleration and increase top-speed potential while reducing speed-ratio and energy losses in extreme offroad environments. The result is more efficient power, allowing your machine to put its available horsepower to work more effectively.
With improved resistance to cracking and wear, G-Force RedLine belts are built to withstand the punishment associated with aggressive riding and demanding workloads. This added durability means longer belt life and more confidence when you’re deep in the backcountry.
For off-road enthusiasts looking to maximize performance, durability and power transfer, Gates G-Force RedLine CVT belts offer a purpose-built upgrade designed to keep up with the demands of serious ATV and side-by-side use.
