Polaris

So today on February 19th I will be talking about one of my favorite companies in the world, Polaris. Most people are at least a little familiar with Polaris; and if you love to live your life outdoors then I’m guessing you may know this company quite well.

Polaris was founded in 1954 somewhere in the most northern part of Minnesota (Roseau MN.). It was originally founded by three friends who actually started to make and sell farm equipment. They later created one of the first snow machines that we today now call snowmobiles. Polaris today now owns around 30 brands that all consist of different things; like snowmobiles, motorcycles, fishing boats, pontoon boats, UTVs, ATVs and even military off-road vehicles.They are now considered a global leader in their industry and strive to create/invent new vehicles each year.

One of my favourite brands they have is the Polaris Rzr. The all new 2020 Polaris Rzr XP Turbo is a UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) that comes stock with 168 horsepower on a 999cc engine. This vehicle has twin turbos, four wheel drive, Fox suspension and literally anything else you need to forget about the world for a day, and just ride it until the tires fall off. The market and industry for vehicles like this is booming! The UTV I just named has an MSRP of $22,500, and it’s not even street legal! Polaris and other companies have to make a newer model of this machine every year that is bigger and better than the last, in hopes of having the better machine than all the machines made from its competitive firms. The type of people that are in the market for a UTV like the Polaris Rzr are people that I would call “Ricky Bobbys”, “They just want to go fast”. The Rzr is definitely not a machine that you buy to go drive slowly around a golf course or in a neighborhood; it’s a machine that’s meant to be driven on some crazy trails in the woods or on some sand dunes.

I hope to one day work for a company like Polaris, just because I have always had an interest in machines like this and I have always been in love with this industry.If you have never experienced a machine like this I would highly recommend doing it at least once.
