Caleb and Christian put on a great show today on their new polaris quads. Caleb flipped twice and threw the bike around with ease.

those quads look sweet, reminds me of the new IQs in the front styling.

i believe that is gonna end up being false since now they got two machines that share a lot of the same parts and plus there will be 4 quads out there that share the same motor ktm/525irs/525s/450mxr so i can see a lot of aftermarket companies making new parts for them and engine builders are gonna get every pony out of these engines that they can. plus doug eichner took first in open pro at the itp quadcross on a machine was nearly stock... he just had a front shock upgrade and a steering damper... I know that kory ellis did pretty much give that one to him by letting the whole feild ahead of him at the hole shot but he still had to beat the rest of the feild of decked out quads.

It's just like any other professional. Polaris provides them with the goods to do all the shows, and the Bombsquad gives Polaris a good name. Including that nice rig you see in the background.:eek2: It's all PR.

I believe they have a deal with Caleb Moore. I just coated Rath's new A-arms for Caleb's Polaris.

No, they were really long (wide) and done in flat black. I would think they'll have them on their site very soon.

I was really impressed with the Polaris 450mx and 525s this weekend. I missed caleb flipping it but i got to see him race a moto with it and had a lot of time to look at it. Looks like a very solid bike and the motor is proven.

At the Loretta's show, he actually said that it is easier on the new Polaris (keeping sponsorship in mind). He said that he doesn't have to throw all his weight back like he did before, and it just comes around alot smoother without as much effort.
