If the UTV market were a campfire, it would burn bigger than a Ferguson, Missouri, gas station. Growth in the extreme-performance, recreational, utility/commercial and youth segments is bumping the rev limiter, and every manufacturer has all-new models for the 2015 riding, hunting, camping and racing season. Arctic Cat unleashes its 60-inch Wildcat Sport 700 in three packages, refines the Wildcat 1000 and Trail 700, and gives Prowlers an extreme makeover. Can-Am creates the desert/dune Maverick 1000X ds and Max 1000X ds, and astounds the industry with the first factory-installed UTV turbochargers for the new X ds models! John Deere debuts the Midnight Black Gator RSX850i and 825i Limited Editions, while Kawasaki totally reinvents the Mule with the Mule Pro FXT that sports more travel than a Teryx! Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Kymco unveils its economical UXV 450i in four packages and the new UXV 500i G with integral 5 kW generator. Honda unleashes the first factory paddle-shifter UTV, the 50-inch Pioneer 500, and Yamaha goes big with the six-passenger Viking VI 700. Polaris assures its UTV dominance by replacing the entire lineup of RZR 800s and XP 900s with an all-new RZR 900, 900 S and 900XC, expands the XP1K line with High Lifter and Desert Edition 1000s, introduces a value-menu Ranger ETX, and replaces all Ranger 800s with Ranger XP 900s and new full-sized Ranger 570 and 570 Crews. Also, Polaris introduces three Deluxe Ranger XP 900s: Hunter, Vogue Silver and Northstar Editions. Counting the new EFI-induction RZR 170, that’s 22 new UTVs from Polaris alone!
