Company History
Polaris is a powersports giant that turned northern ingenuity into year-round adventure machines. Snowmobiles came first; ATVs and UTVs followed, defining work/play segments with durability and dealer reach. In motorcycles, Polaris launched Victory—modern American V-twins with strong chassis—and later revived Indian with substantial engineering investment and a premium dealer experience. The company’s strengths are platform engineering and parts logistics: vehicles built to survive cold, mud, and rental abuse with spares on shelves from Alaska to Arizona. Historically, Polaris professionalized off-road recreation and utility while proving that an American firm could build competitive road motorcycles at scale. Its Indian revival, in particular, anchored competition in the heavyweight cruiser space and broadened choices for riders loyal to domestic metal.
