Polaris builds snowmobiles for an even better riding experience

Polaris has established itself as one of the world’s leading snowmobile manufacturers. Polaris produces high-quality snowmobiles, ATVs and other vehicles that deliver excellent performance, durability and a riding experience that’s hard to beat. Finland’s long, cold and snowy winter creates perfect conditions for snowmobiling enthusiasts. As autumn evenings get darker, temperatures drop and the first snowflakes drift down, riders start feeling the pull of the snow.

Polaris – a pioneer of independent front suspension in snowmobiles

Polaris is a legendary snowmobile brand manufactured by the American company Polaris Inc. Snowmobile production began in 1955 in the small town of Roseau in northern Minnesota. One of Polaris’s largest factories is still located there today. In the 1980s, Polaris developed the world’s first independent front suspension for snowmobiles, which in some form is still used in almost all modern snowmobiles today.

Polaris began manufacturing and marketing ATVs in 1985 and Victory motorcycles in 1998, although Victory production was discontinued in 2017. Polaris owns the American motorcycle manufacturer Indian Motorcycle as well as the French company Aixam Megan, known for its Aixam moped cars. In addition, Polaris is a part-owner in the Austrian motorcycle company KTM.

Snowmobiles for the demanding conditions of the Nordic region

As a manufacturer, Polaris focuses on continuous development with the goal of constantly improving the snowmobile experience. Its snowmobiles are designed, developed and built to suit the demanding conditions of the Nordic region seamlessly.

Design has placed a strong emphasis on excellent rider ergonomics, which improves handling, comfort and riding position. A well-functioning independent suspension smooths out travel effectively regardless of terrain. In colder weather, comfort is further improved by powerful heated grips.

Polaris engines represent the top of their class in terms of features. In line with modern demands, they offer low fuel consumption without sacrificing top-end power and strong performance. In addition, the engines deliver class-leading power-to-weight ratios, excellent durability and dependable operation.

A quality snowmobile and proper riding gear keep the fun safe on snowy trails

Snowmobiles are fast means of transport in winter terrain and also useful work machines—for example, for hauling wood from the forest. Polaris offers suitable models for many different uses. If you want sporty features and impressive performance, there’s a model for that. And if you need strong towing ability, good off-trail capability in deep backcountry snow and practical load hauling, there’s a model built for that too.

In Kärkkäinen’s online store you’ll find suitable used Polaris snowmobiles for all kinds of purposes. Also get proper, high-quality riding gear that adds safety and completes the riding experience on winter’s snowy trails.
