ATV Industry Facts: Did You Know?

An all new 8×8 cometh.

The first 2019 ARGO Aurora 800 8x8s began rolling off the assembly line in New Hamburg, Ontario, this month, setting into motion a bold new direction in amphibious vehicle performance from a company that’s pushed the boundaries in off-road adventure for more than 50 years.

The new-for-2019 line of next-generation Aurora XTVs is the culmination of the most intensive development process in ARGO history, involving in-depth surveys of thousands of riders who hunt, fish, explore and play off-road. Their expectations and desires guided the features and performance that engineers worked to deliver.

The result is a line-up of five 2019 Aurora 8-wheel models reflecting a clean-sheet design of every system and component. An all-new amphibious body provides greater performance in water and on land. The new ARGO Progressive Steering system delivers ultra-smooth and confident steering that is as comfortable to drive as a UTV. And automotive-inspired improvements in seating, cockpit controls, LED headlights, clean EFI 4-stroke engines and other innovations deliver the next level of comfort and convenience.

Production will continue on Aurora models as well as all-new 2019 Bigfoot, Avenger, Conquest and Frontier models to meet the growing demand for ARGO XTVs. The worldwide network of ARGO dealers began receiving 2019 models in September.

Bonus Fact: ARGO commemorated the milestone event with a gathering of employees who designed, tested and assembled the 2019 Aurora 800.
