The new Polaris ACE is a first-of-its-kind vehicle with a completely new design
that makes off-road riding approachable, easy and comfortable.
The Polaris ACE is a sit-in vehicle that is comfortable and easy to use.
Automotive-type controls, including a steering wheel, as well as gas and brake
pedals, make the ACE an ideal machine for novice or experienced riders.
The Polaris ACE combines the comfort and secure feeling of a side-by-side
vehicle with the smaller size and easy handling of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
Combining these 2 styles gives riders of all experience levels a completely
new way to experience the outdoors.
"The Polaris ACE is truly revolutionary," said David Longren, vice president
of Polaris' Off-Road Division. "In creating this new class of vehicle, we wanted
a design that appeals to current off-road enthusiasts, and also makes off-road
riding accessible for everyone to enjoy."
Features of the Polaris ACE include:
Automotive-style operation with steering wheel, gas/brake pedals and
automatic transmission
A unique ROPS cab frame only previously found on side-by-sides
A secure, high-backed, adjustable bucket seat paired with an adjustable
steering wheel to give the driver unmatched flexibility when it comes to
comfort
3-point seat belt and side bolsters to keep the operator properly
positioned in the center of
the machine
On-Demand True All-
Wheel Drive (AWD) — This
innovative system, found
on all Polaris Off-Road
Vehicles, eliminates the
guesswork by automatically
engaging when the rider
needs more forward traction,
then reverts back to 2-wheel
drive automatically when the
AWD is no longer needed.
Choose from an all-new 45-hp. Pro-Star 570 electronic fuel injected
(EFI) engine or a 32-hp. ProStar electronic fuel injected (EFI) engine.
A 5.25-gallon/19.87-liter fuel tank provides excellent fuel range for long
trail rides.
Fully independent rear suspension (IRS) with 10.25 inches/26.04 cm
of ground clearance and 9.5 inches/24.1 cm of rear travel allows the driver to
clear rocks, logs and stumps with confidence.
