The all-new 2014 Polaris Sportsman ACE presents a revolutionary new design combining the nimble handling of an ATV and the security and comfort of a side-x-side, in a compact and comfortable vehicle with centralized seating position. Its 32 HP ProStar engine featuring dual overhead camshafts, a 4 valve cylinder head and electronic fuel injection (EFI) delivers excellent performance and fuel economy.
This Innovative, unique cab design offers a whole new off-road experience!
It’s no surprise that Polaris would come up with yet another form of off-road vehicle with the potential to please a super wide range of users of almost any age, gender or body type. They have been aggressively creating new segments with incredibly enjoyable and easy to own and maintain off-road vehicles that no one has ever produced. First with a Sport Side x Side, first with four-seat machines, first to market a military grade ATV, as well as taking many existing classes to a surprisingly high level of comfort and performance, Polaris is more determined than ever to accommodate as many different types of potential new trail riders with exiting, fun and practical all-terrain vehicles.
It will be interesting to see if and how other manufacturers will react to yet another potentially popular vehicle in the 2014 Polaris Sportsman ACE; a sort of cross between a utility ATV and a Sport Side x Side, with cool looks and offering another totally different way to enjoy this great activity we so enjoy and wish upon as many other people as possible. This affordable entry level machine seems to leave a lot of room for this entirely different class to evolve into one rich with different engine displacements and suspension set-ups. Knowing Polaris for their aggressive climb to the most important and influential manufacturer of our beloved industry, this 48 inch wide and 32 hp single seat ATV with a steering wheel, could very well be just the first of a complete lineup of ACE models. These are exciting times!
