Anyone yet catching the buzz on the NEW 2010 Polaris line ups?


Regards,

Haven't really seen any rumors or anything. Lotta stuff on the CARB website carried over from last year.

 

I've been watching CARB as well...the only thing new I have seen from anyone so far is the Artic Cat Mud Pro 950.
I could be wrong but I wouldn't expect much of anything new this year from Polaris after the additions for '09.

 

What is the web site for CARB?

Thx,

Subject Top Page: On-Road New Vehicle & Engine Certification Program

Scroll down,the links you want are the ones about 3/4 of the way down the page under OFMC/ATV/eGC Green Sticker. If anything new is added under the model year the date will change to the date of the latest updates and for a few days it will have a "new" icon by the date. Once you click on the first link the different manufactures models will come up as links,each has a date link that carries you to the actual cert. Out to the right is the date of the update.

 

The 2010 model year's gonna be real boring if no one introduces anything new. I've heard Polaris has a new sport 4x4 in the works but won't be out for a model year or 2. If that's true, I hope Polaris bumps up the release date to 2010. NO new models really sucks.

 

i would think after the 09' xp's they wont being doing anything w/ the sportsman for a couple of years for sure. imo

 

I went to the site link above and noticed a couple of things.

1) They are continuing the older Sportsman models (older chassis style)
2) It looks like all the new models are continuing as well.
3) I see lots of kids quads (90, 110, 2xx) at different classes. What happened
with them being banned?

So with the 2010 models of the former Sportsmans, X2's and XP's, the BIG question is
what improvements will be made? Could we see a power steering on an older Sportsman?
How about different body color options in all the model classes?

Well I hope they fix all these reported issues in 2010 models. I also read in a mag. that the Fujitsu engines in the XP550 would only be on the product line for 1 year? So that goes to question, what engine design changes are looming on the horizon for the new 2010 XP550? Would that be more powered?

Cheers,

Not sure about the 2010 550 not being a Fuji,I'd be very suprised....but according to CARB it will have a 2KW(~3hp)increase in power,from 28kw to 30. Which is about the currently advertised 40 hp.
If they were going to manufacture a new engine I would think they would have give it a new designation for CARB..so far the 2010 designation is listed as the same as the 09.
