Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative Grants More Than $130,000 in 2nd Quarter

KENNESAW, Ga. – September 13, 2018 – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, the powersports leader in supporting outdoor recreation, today announces the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative (OAI) awarded more than $130,000 in funds and equipment to 11 grant applicants in the second quarter of 2018.

In the past decade, the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative granted more than $3.5 million supporting the program’s mission of guaranteeing responsible access to land for outdoor recreation, staking a clear claim in the powersports industry as the unprecedented leader in supporting those who work and play outdoors.

Projects funded this past quarter support opportunities for a variety of off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, including those using ATVs, Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles for outdoor recreation enjoyment.

“Now 10 years strong, the Outdoor Access Initiative continues to be a resource for all outdoor enthusiasts in the fight to preserve access,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha ATV / SxS group marketing manager. “Whatever you ride, however you hunt, camp or enjoy the outdoors, if there’s no access, there’s no recreation. Which is why inclusive projects – those serving the needs of many different outdoor and motorized recreationists – get our attention.”

The recent applications were particularly diverse and included trail maintenance projects, statewide OHV mapping, education and land stewardship initiatives, and research supporting responsible motorized recreation in wildlife habitat.

As the powersports industry’s leading land access advocate protecting the interests of those who work and play outdoors, OAI supports off-highway vehicle riders, as well as those who rely on land access to camp, hunt, fish, farm, and more. The latest Yamaha OAI grant recipients are:

• Balsam Trail Blazers – Itasca County, MN
• Great Basin Institute – Reno, NV
• Great Lot Sportsman’s Club Corp. – Oneida County, NY
• Indian Creek Valley ATV Club, Fayette County, PA

• National FF A
• North Country ATV – North Stratford, NH
• Stay the Trail Education and Stewardship Alliance – Colorado
• Tri-County ATV Recreation & Rescue Association – Heilwood, PA
• Jack H. Berryman Institute, Utah State University
• Vermont Association of Snow Travelers
• Westcore, Inc. – Montrose, CO

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018, the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is accepting qualified applications for consideration of support and funding.

Each quarter, Yamaha accepts applications from nonprofit or tax-exempt organizations including OHV riding clubs and associations, national, state and local public land use agencies, outdoor enthusiast associations and land conservation groups with an interest in protecting, improving, expanding and/or maintaining access for safe, responsible and sustainable public use.

POLARIS® RZR UNVEILS THE NASTIEST FOUR-SEATER EVER, MEET THE RZR® XP 4 TURBO S

POLARIS® RZR UNVEILS THE NASTIEST FOUR-SEATER EVER, MEET THE RZR® XP 4 TURBO S

MINNEAPOLIS (September 13, 2018) – Today, Polaris® unveils a significant upgrade to its nastiest and most aggressive RZR® XP Turbo S with the introduction of the four-seat model. While the initial RZR XP Turbo S set new standards in nearly every measurable category, the all-new machine takes it one step further, becoming the first-ever four-seat off-road monster to boast a 72-inch stance, 32-inch standard tires, exclusive DYNAMIX™ Active Suspension and 16-inch ground clearance to devour virtually everything in its path.

“The launch of the Turbo S platform was met with overwhelming excitement from our consumers, we knew the next step was to make it available in a four-seat model,” Chris Musso, president of Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris. “As a result, we effectively raised the bar again, setting the standard in 72-inch side-by-side performance.”

The Industry’s Toughest Machine

Polaris pushed the limits of engineering when designing the RZR XP 4 Turbo S. From a reinforced chassis to bigger, stronger axles, Polaris incorporated significant performance upgrades and strengthened nearly every component of the machine. The all-new isolated front drive features three times higher impact strength, while the ROPS, control and trailing arms, and radius rods help handle the extreme force produced by this beast of a machine.

These efforts helped make it possible to engineer the industry’s first-ever side-by-side vehicle to come stock with 32-inch tires. Delivering an industry-best 16 inches of ground clearance, the massive 32-inch tires are also 249 percent more resistant to punctures than the competition. The combination of a flickable wheelbase and massive tires produces a machine that is extremely agile, yet capable of smashing though the toughest terrain with the ease of a trophy-truck.

The Industry’s Most Capable Suspension
The new machine’s toughness is complemented by its industry-best suspension. An intimidating 72-inch broad-shouldered stance opened new possibilities for smart and usable travel upgrades. The intelligent, industry-leading DYNAMIX Active Suspension system optimizes every inch of the vehicle’s industry-leading 25-inches of Useable Travel before bottoming out on the skid plate. Needless to say, drivers will enjoy putting all 168 horses to use, ripping through terrain that would tear up any other machine.

Performance Upgrades
The RZR XP 4 Turbo S was designed with extreme performance capabilities in mind. With 25 percent more assist in power steering and better steering feel at high speeds, the RZR XP 4 Turbo S keeps the driver focused on effortlessly maneuvering through the terrain, not on forcing the wheel. Recalibrated aggressive throttle mapping gives the driver better and more immediate throttle control and the redesigned clutch box allows for better air flow and decreased belt temperatures.

The Industry’s Most Evolved Cockpit
The machine also features the industry’s most-evolved cockpit and an improved driving position, enabling drivers to comfortably command it through any obstacle desired. The cockpit boasts a four-point harness, premium flat-bottom SPARCO® steering wheel, and a new digital instrument display cluster with seven-inch RIDE COMMAND™ glove-touch display on the center dash. Additionally, the machine is cut with a new predatory look: low profile stronger ROPS, aluminum roof and premium painted panels featuring wicked LED lighting packages that comes standard.

Off-road addicts will welcome the challenge to drive harder, faster and farther than ever before, now with three passengers. Available in Indy Red and Polaris Blue, this 168-horsepower beast of a machine will be available in dealerships as early as mid-September, and despite all of the incredible features, checks in at a base price of $30,499 US and $36,999 CA.

Introducing New Textron Off Road 2019 Havoc and Wildcat XX Models

AUGUSTA,GA — Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced three new Textron Off Road side-by-sides (SxS) as part of its continuing Model Year 2019 vehicle introductions. Joining the Havoc X are the Havoc and Havoc Backcountry Edition, and the Wildcat XX receives more horsepower and sees the addition of the Wildcat XX LTD to the line.

“We are excited to expand the Havoc and Wildcat XX offerings for 2019,” said John Collins, Vice President, Consumer for Textron Specialized Vehicles. “Both vehicles were highly anticipated and continue to see growth in the marketplace. The new models give enthusiasts even more options from which to choose to meet their specific needs and uses.”

The 2019 Havoc X is a SxS for riders who want to push the limits of adventure on the trails and get hard work done around the homestead. With its 100HP EFI engine, class-leading suspension – now featuring FOX® 2.5 PODIUM QS3 shocks with compression adjustment –13 inches of ground clearance, industry-first extended cab for additional storage space, class-leading 2,000-lb towing capacity, and 600-lb cargo box, the Havoc X continues to create a stir in the SxS marketplace. The Havoc X is offered in Ballistic Bronze with a MSRP of $17,799.

For 2019, the Havoc line also added high-bolstered bench seats for improved ergonomics and comfort, and welcomed two new models, the Havoc and Havoc Backcountry Edition.

The new Havoc Backcountry Edition is perfect for recreational riders. The vehicle features a standard roof and hood rack, and its exclusive styling features a Bright White with Orange color with Backcountry badging. Recreation riders will enjoy new high-bolstered seats which provide more space and all-day comfort for long hours on the trail. The Havoc Backcountry Edition retails for $17,799.

Farmers and ranchers will appreciate the new Havoc base model. With its 100HP EFI engine providing power for the toughest tasks, standard Electronic Power Steering (EPS), class-leading 12.8-inch front suspension travel, 2,000-lb towing capacity, 24-cu-ft of storage with extended cab, and 600-lb cargo box, the vehicle is a strong and reliable work partner. The 2019 Havoc retails for $16,299 and is available in Fire Red.

Earlier this year, the high-performance SxS market changed with the introduction of the Textron Off Road Wildcat XX. Designed in collaboration with off-road racing legend Robby Gordon, the Wildcat XX is built for a superior ride in every aspect. The off-road racing-inspired suspension delivers best-in-class handling with more than 18 inches of front and rear travel. The FOX 2.5 PODIUM QS3 Shocks with Bottom-Out Control are precision-tuned at the factory with the flexibility to absorb and smooth out the most challenging rides.

For 2019, the Wildcat XX gets an upgrade in horsepower to 130HP, and is still the highest horsepower, naturally aspirated vehicle in its class. The vehicle is offered in Bright White with a MSRP of $20,699.

New for 2019, the Wildcat XX LTD sports all the features of the Wildcat XX with several additions that make it even easier to take it from the showroom straight to the trail. To protect the vehicle from brush and other trail hazards, the vehicle features front and rear bumpers. Protection for occupants include a half windshield and heavy-duty, marine-grade Bimini Roof featuring a built-in roll-up top with a sun screen for nice days. Riders also can listen to their favorite tunes while cruising the trails with the vehicle’s factory-installed SSV®stereo system. For superior weather resistance, the audio system includes all marine-grade components, including an integrated amp, two Kicker® speakers, custom enclosures and wiring harness. The system is controlled with a Bluetooth® controller and LCD display that includes an AM/FM tuner and AUX input. The new Wildcat XX LTD is available in Jet Black and retails for $21,999.

All Havoc and Wildcat XX models are proudly built in Thief River Falls, Minn. and will be available in dealerships this fall.
