With a host of rider-inspired capability, comfort and durability features, the new SP 570 further delivers on the “hardest working, smoothest riding” RANGER brand promise. This versatility has made RANGER the top choice for farmers, ranchers, hunters, landowners and outdoor enthusiasts for more than a decade.

“Whether spending a day on the trail or helping get more work done around the property, our mid-size utility segment drives new riders into the market as well as provides a right-sized work and play solution for existing riders,” said Steve Menneto, President of Off Road, Polaris. “Redesigned from the ground up, the new RANGER SP 570 punches above its weight class with improved capability and comfort that will appeal to current mid-size riders, as well as those new to off-roading.”

It features a bold, updated style along with a host of rider-inspired improvements, including a larger cargo box and redesigned interior with additional space and storage to haul everything you need to the next project or trail ride.

GREAT FOR WORK:

The bold, all-new styling delivers a rugged and tough look so customers can ride in style. The proven Prostar 570 engine packs a class-leading 44 horsepower, and the vehicle can tow up to 1,500lbs, giving customers confidence to easily haul and tow big loads around the property.

The completely redesigned cargo box is nearly 30 percent larger, delivering class-leading volume to efficiently transport more tools or supplies. A new single-handle tailgate allows for quick and easy access to loading or dumping mulch, logs and other cargo from the box.

Not only is the RANGER SP 570 great for work, but it’s incredibly fun to ride with best-in-class suspension travel that offers smooth and comfortable riding out on the trails. CREW models offer space for the family with seating for four.

The RANGER SP 570 is also equipped with 25-inch tires and adds an extra inch of clearance over its predecessor for a best-in-class 11 inches of ground clearance to clear obstacles and ride over tough terrain with confidence. Now featuring a class-leading 19.8 gallons of in-cab storage, the RANGER SP 570 has plenty of space to accommodate everything needed for the project or ride.

Comfort is a priority with the new RANGER SP 570.

Impactful durability enhancements have been made to the RANGER SP 570 as well. The clutch system has been upsized and retuned providing strength and improved low speed drivability. Maintenance-free suspension bushings and wheel bearings come standard on every model, offering a smoother, quieter ride.

On premium trims, an upgraded 575cca battery, 660W stator and Polaris Pulse Electrical system deliver enhanced charging, more confident starting, and the ability to easily run more accessories for added work and play capability.

CUSTOMIZATION:

Polaris is also offering 40 all-new accessories for the RANGER SP 570, along with four new accessory collections: Landowner, Farm, Hunt and Trail. Riders now have more options than ever for customization based on how they use their vehicle. With the launch of the RANGER SP 570, comes the introduction of Polaris Pro Shield cab components to the lineup. The tightest-sealing cab system from Polaris reduces noise, water and dust from the cab for maximum rider comfort. Additionally, riders can enjoy their favorite songs wirelessly through the JBL® Trail 4.0 audio system.

Other customization options include Lock & Ride storage to transport gear and tools, or a 7-inch display powered by RIDE COMMAND technology for GPS mapping, dropping waypoints and much more.

Arctic Cat Reinvigorates Lineup for 2022

Arctic Cat Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, introduced a reinvigorated Model Year 2022 off-road lineup as part of the company’s continuing commitment to the powersports industry.

For Model Year 2022, Arctic Cat is enhancing its off-road offering with new products, significant enhancements to current models, and new technology. The lineup includes the previously announced all-new Alterra™ 600 ATV; upgrades to the utility-focused Prowler Pro side-by-side; integration of Garmin’s TREAD; and new Arctic Cat-tuned CVT systems found on several models.

“Arctic Cat has been part of the powersports industry for 60 years, and the Model Year 2022 off-road lineup focuses on our continued dedication and investment in the brand,” said Heidi McNary, Vice President & General Manager, Powersports for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. “From launching the all-new Alterra 600 models to making substantial upgrades to the Prowler Pro, and aligning with Garmin to provide state-of-the-art GPS technology integration, Arctic Cat is committed to the off-road industry, our dedicated riders and providing the ultimate experience on our vehicles.”

Announced in April, the all-new Alterra 600 was built from the ground-up, featuring an all-new engine, drivetrain and chassis to deliver increased power, better handling, more durability and easier servicing. The vehicle’s all-new 600cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine — built by Arctic Cat in the United States – offers 45 horsepower and complements its all-new chassis with a lower center of gravity for incredible balance, increased stability, and a performance-oriented ride experience.

Its CVT system features a set of Arctic Cat-tuned CVTech Trailbloc drive and Invance driven clutches for increased performance, smooth low-speed engagement, and longer belt life. The ATV was thoughtfully designed with a new steering geometry for more agility, an exhaust that is routed down and out of the middle of the vehicle to keep heat off the rider, electronic 4WD engagement for switching from two- to four-wheel drive, and easily accessible storage under the handlebars. The Alterra 600 is available in four different models: EPS, XT, LTD and SE.*

Arctic Cat has also made significant improvements to the three-person Prowler Pro and six-person Prowler Pro Crew side-by-sides for Model Year 2022. The Prowler Pro is known for its quiet 50-horsepower, 812cc EFI engine, comfortable ride, unmatched capabilities, ample storage, and durability. To build upon these features, the 2022 models feature a new suspension with more ground clearance — up to 13 inches — to better navigate worksite obstructions or trail hazards. The suspension is tuned for enhanced comfort and control, no matter the terrain. Arctic Cat also beefed up the half-shafts to match the added capabilities of the revised suspension.

The vehicles also feature a new performance-tuned CVTech clutch that is perfectly suited to utility applications, with Arctic Cat-tuned Trailbloc drive and Invance driven clutches for increased performance, smooth low-speed engagement, and long life. Operators will enjoy consistent performance with faster acceleration, smoother power delivery, and a throttle response that will not fade over time. Arctic Cat also improved the engine cooling system to reduce fan run time and enhance engine performance.

All models are equipped with an aggressive new bumper with integrated headlight protection and new aluminum, seven-spoke wheels that provide the perfect finishing touch.

The Prowler Pro and Crew are available in three models:

• EPS in Medium Green.

• XT in Phantom Grey featuring a premium front bumper, Medium Green springs, 4,500-lb. Warn® winch, LED-accented front lights, and standard roof.

• LTD in Fossil with color-matched Spark Orange front bumper, springs and ROPS; premium seats; 4,500-lb. WARN Winch; LED-accented front lights; standard roof and overhead storage console.

The Wildcat™ XX side-by-side was built for a superior ride in every aspect and has the only true trailing-arm rear suspension in its class. Its off-road racing-inspired suspension system features standard 30-inch tires and heavy-duty components to deliver exceptional handling and more than 18 inches of travel in the front and rear. 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.

The Wildcat XX’s powerful 130 horsepower, 998cc three-cylinder EFI engine is the highest horsepower, naturally aspirated engine in its class, offering unmatched power to the ground for an exhilarating ride experience. The vehicle also features the most electrical output in its class to power various accessories for additional customization, and its spacious cabin is comfortable for a wide variety of riders.
