We’ve been expecting Polaris to respond to the emerging two-passenger segment with a very serious, ready-for-two model this year.

We suspect Polaris may up the ante in this class with a twin cylinder (600 or 700EFI) twofer that’ll send both Bombardier and Arctic Cat looking for more power.

It has also been rumored Polaris has a new and improved 400cc engine for the Sportsman 400. Last year’s re-engineering of the most popular chassis in the industry was exciting but we have to say we were looking for a more potent 400 Sportsman a year ago.

Polaris is never slow to respond to customer demands so watch out for this model in 2006 or ‘07.

Press Release – Ramsey introduces the wireless remote – ATV3000 that is now even better! Not only does this hardworking winch include wireless technology, it is available with 50′ of Technora synthetic rope and the Ramsey aluminum fairlead – making a great winch even better.

Synthetic rope is quickly becoming the standard for everyone from hardcore rockcrawling competitors to the weekend warrior off-road enthusiast. Synthetic rope has many advantages over wire cable including; safety, strength, and ease of use. And Ramsey is the first to introduce a wireless winch with the synthetic rope straight out of the box!

The ATV3000’s efficient, powerful 0.9 hp motor has a pulling capacity of up to 3,000 lbs, faster line speed and 20% less AMP draw than the competitor’s ATV winch. This means the ATV can be winched faster out of nearly any sticky situation and still have the power to start the engine when finished!

Other features of the ATV3000 include; weather resistant solenoid assembly, 3-stage planetary gear system for the fastest line speed, optional automatic load-holding brake for strength, a cam action clutch that disengages the planetary gear system for free spooling, and a machined aluminum hawse fairlead.

Not only does Ramsey take advantage of the latest and best technology available, we have a history of delivering consistent quality and performance.

We had the opportunity this week to test the limits of Ramsey Winch’s ATV3000 Winch.

As classic early spring weather in Canada would dictate, there was plenty of muck to wade through on our mid week ATV adventure through the back trails of Ontario’s North. An especially challenging mire left our 700 Sportsman about 50 feet from solid earth and 2 feet deep in cake batter that completely covered the tires!

Luckily, this machine was equipped with an ATV3000 Winch. This winch has the most innovative and invaluable feature a stuck rider could ever ask for: wireless remote. The hand held remote allowed our swamped rider (yours truly) to focus on throttle and steering while a second member of the group secured the cable to a strong foothold on shore and slowly wound the cable back pulling our Sportsman out of the soup.

If we hadn’t had the ATV3000 Winch with us on this ride, we’d still be digging our ATV out today.
