Our Passion, Your "Toughest" Ride

They say it takes 10,000 hours to master something. At Polaris, we’ve been honing our craft for over 70 years—and we’re just getting started. Our relentless pursuit of quality drives us to consistently innovate, making each new vehicle tougher than the last.

 

No matter how far we've come, we’ll always strive for more. Because tough doesn't settle. Tough doesn't back down. Just like you, tough doesn't quit—and neither do we. 

Tested Tough

From front to back, we rigorously test our machines for thousands of hours so you can ride on your terms. We draw inspiration from our riders, fueling innovation both in the lab and out in the real world. We’ll happily break our machines before we break our standards—all for the purpose of bettering your ride. 

A Polaris RANGER vehicle is elevated off the ground, with its front end facing downwards at an angle, suggesting an impact test. It is supported by a metal rig with various equipment around it, including lighting and sensors, to monitor the test parameters.

Pushing the Limits

Our durability simulator replicates real-life conditions to test if a vehicle can withstand various stresses and loads. The simulator's main job is to look for issues like vehicle fatigue and parts wear. We use the VDS test to accelerate durability, driving more product improvements to improve overall reliability and durability.
