Polaris models on display at Defexpo were the RZR SW, Sportsman MV 850 and Widetrak LX (Snowmobile). RZR® SW gets power from a 800cc twin EFI engine which cranks out 55HP and a top speed of 109 KPH. On-demand All Wheel Drive (AWD) engages all 4 tires when the rear wheel slips and forward traction is required. It’s ideal for slippery and hard to manoeuvre terrains.
The Sportsman MV ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) gets power from a 850cc 4-stroke SOHC Twin Cylinder Gas Engine that cranks out 77 hp. With capacity to carry 91 kg of gear on the front rack and up to 181 kg of gear on the back, this ATV has the highest rack capacity.
Polaris Widetrak LX Snowmobile is purpose-built to tow, haul and get to where the work needs to be done. Full featured sleds with Hi-Low transmissions, cargo racks, reverse and of course, like the name says, an extra wide track — 20″ of flotation to be exact.
Mr. Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd., said, “The Defexpo is an ideal opportunity for us to showcase our line of Defence vehicles. Our military vehicles over the years have received an overwhelming response all over the world. RZR®S 800 model, in India is currently being used by the Gujarat Police and we have received very positive feedback regarding the utility of our vehicles.
