Polaris Announces Special Fox Edition, New RZRs and Sportsman ATVs for 2015 Lineup

As part of RZR’s continuing innovation and commitment to its enthusiasts, Polaris has announced several new models featuring new paint schemes and graphics, and a new RZR XP 1000 EPS model with the first-ever Internal Bypass Shocks available on a side-by-side.
The new RZR XP 1000 EPS FOX Edition offers a high-performing suspension, featuring highly-tuned FOX Podium Internal Bypass Shocks, re-tuned coil-over springs, new front stabilizer bar and softer rear bar.
The new FOX Podium Internal Bypass Shocks found on the RZR XP 1000 EPS FOX Edition generates highly-progressive damping that gives the vehicle a plush ride with all the bottom-out resistance expected from an ultra-performance off-road vehicle. The shocks have large diameter bodies (3 in/7.6 cm rear, 2.5 in/6.4 cm front), reservoirs and increased fluid capacity for dramatic improvements in heat dissipation, fade resistance and durability. The internal bypass technology offers more zones than a conventional shock for better tenability and performance and better handling over a wider range of terrain at any speed.
To complement the new shock package, Polaris outfitted the RZR XP 1000 EPS FOX Edition with redesigned coil-over springs. The progressive rate upper spring is a lighter-weight spring that absorbs small impacts while the stiffer, main spring maintains ground clearance and absorbs bigger impacts in rough terrain.
The RZR XP 1000 EPS FOX Edition also is the first RZR XP to feature a front sway bar and also has a redesigned rear sway bar with 25 percent less stiffness. Combined with the FOX Podium Internal Bypass Shocks, the sway bars dramatically decrease body roll and improve vehicle handling and comfort.
Along with the new suspension package, the RZR XP 1000 EPS FOX Edition features Matte Turbo Silver paint, cut and sew seats, new graphics package, innovative 6-Point harnesses and the Polaris Interactive Digital Display which is an integrated, industry-leading LCD display and gauge with full-featured GPS, mapping capability and compass. The display also features integrated Bluetooth functionality and shows the speedometer, tachometer, dual trip meters, odometer and maintenance warnings along with a digital clock, and operating conditions including fuel level and diagnostics.

The display also features integrated Bluetooth functionality and shows the speedometer, tachometer, dual trip meters, odometer and maintenance warnings along with a digital clock, and operating conditions including fuel level, diagnostics and more.
The Sportsman Touring XP 1000 shares the same attributes as above but offers a longer chassis to accommodate a passenger.
Sportsman 570
Polaris added a new premium, one-up vehicle to the 500 class, the Sportsman 570 SP. The vehicle features several upgraded refinements found on premium model ATVs including Double A-Arm Front Suspension; standard Electronic Power Steering (EPS); high-performance close-ratio, On-Demand, True AWD System; EBS with ADC; premium automotive paint and cast aluminum rims.
Polaris also introduces two additional Ranger XP 900 models for the 2015 model year: Ranger XP 900 EPS in Sunset Red Silver or in Sandstone Metallic. Both include an automotive-style paint and graphic package in their respective color schemes, cut-and-sew seats, EPS and FXT tires on cast aluminum wheels.
The new three-passenger Ranger Diesel HST and HST Deluxe offers features important to the agricultural and rural lifestyle customer, such as diesel power with hydrostatic transmission, hydraulic power steering, an industry-exclusive treadle pedal, multi-link coil over De Dion rear suspension and premium Lock & Ride Pro-Fit cab system, complete with climate control and new hinged doors with operable windows standard on the Ranger Diesel HST Deluxe. Both vehicles now feature a three-cylinder, Tier 4 compliant Kohler diesel engine with double the alternator output, 110 amps, to power more accessories.
