Polaris' New and Updated Snowmobiles Go Hard

This has been a weird snowmobile season here in Utah. The weather has fluctuated from spring-like temperatures to dumping feet of snow on what feels like a weekly basis. As I write this, it'll be around 50 degrees today. But tomorrow, well, the current forecast says 2-feet of fresh powder.…

Polaris Is Axing Timbersled Snow Bikes For Good

It's a strange time in the powersports world lately, with some companies definitely faring better than others. Among the ones having a particularly tough time last year was Polaris, which already instituted cost cuts in 2024 that included cutting about 10 percent of its employees.

Vespa's Owner Is Just Conquering the Market, KTM Should Take Note

For plenty of motorcycle and powersports manufacturers, 2024 was a year to forget, financially speaking. KTM all but imploded, and the cost-saving measures employed by Polaris are bleeding into 2025. So how, then, in the midst of all this, did Piaggio Group—owner of Vespa, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Derbi, Gilera, Scarabeo brands—manage…

Trump's Idiotic Tariffs Are Going to Wreck the Powersports Market

Let's just check the stock market, which I haven't checked in hours, and oh my god, why is everything deep in the red? What happened? Did a nuke just get set off in London? Did that dumb boat get stuck in the Suez Canal again? Did aliens come down from…

Polaris' Slingshot is 10 Years Old, So the Company is Celebrating Its 3-Wheeler

I got to drive a Polaris Slingshot ages ago. One of my friends had one and we'd decided to take it to the industrial park behind my then-apartment complex to shoot some dope dusk photos with the Los Angeles skyline in the background. I'd never really understood the allure of…

Buy This $15 Million Compound in Glamis, Get 10 Polaris UTVs for Free

I've been to Glamis a handful of times throughout my life, and each time it gets better. There's something almost spiritual about the dunes. Especially at sunset, with the sun fading in the background, the heat rising off the sands, and a batshit UTV behind you. It's a special place,…

Is Kawasaki Putting a Supercharged Superbike Engine Into a UTV?

Imagine you own a powersports company, and you have one of the coolest engines on the market, but you only use it in one vehicle. That's not just silly; it's borderline mean to your demographic—BRP, please take some notes and stick that 325-hp rotax engine in something else.

Everything at King of the Hammers Just Got Beat By a UTV

King of the Hammers is, for lack of a better word, batshit. For those who've never heard of it, it's an off-road race in California's Johnson Valley, and marries rock crawling with flat-out open desert racing. There's nothing else on the planet like King of the Hammers.

Polaris Will Have To Make Further Cost Cuts This Year, Says CEO

The powersports industry hasn't felt stable since before the COVID epidemic. There was a feast a few years ago when overlanding and general powersports activities exploded in popularity. And now, it appears the famine is upon us, well, actually, it has been for a while.

Polaris Will Now Sell You a $140,000 Race-Ready UTV, One That Could Get You a Podium

While trolling the patent office's database a few months ago, we came across a rather interesting-looking patent by our good friends at Polaris. It was, at the time, wild to see, as the patent drawings showed a race-ready UTV. But the machine in question was just slightly different compared to the…

The New Polaris Slingshot: This Is It

Is it a bike? Is it a car? Is it a trike? No, no, and… well, sort of, but not really? What it is, is the Polaris Slingshot, a three-wheeler that has always been one of those weird machines that seems to defy categorization. It’s sort of like that kid…

Polaris Drops Six New ATVs, Ready for Spring, Summer, and Fall Outdoor Activities

ATVs are some of the most useful, fun, and capable machines on the planet. Each day, they're used for farm chores, backcountry excursions, camping, hunting, fishing, and everything in between.

Powersports is indeed for everyone. There are folks who ride off-road vehicles simply for the fun factor.
