By retaining the trail compliant width of a standard ATV with the safety of a roll cage and a three point safety harness, Polaris hopes the Ace family of off-road vehicles will fill a void being left in the current off-road market and attract new enthusiasts.

K&N replacement air filter for Polaris Sportsman ACE

The Polaris Sportsman Ace is currently offered with two different engine configurations. The Ace 325 is rated at 32 horsepower and the more powerful Polaris Ace 570 is rated at 45 peak horsepower. Owners of both 2014 and 2015 Polaris Ace models looking to upgrade the performance of their ATV can do so with the high-flow air filter technology incorporated into K&N replacement air filter, part number PL-3214. The K&N 2014-2015 Polaris Ace replacement air filter is designed to fit into the stock air filter box without any need for modifications. K&N replacement air filters are made with specially woven cotton gauze. Because cotton, by nature, is more breathable than paper, K&N replacement air filters can flow more air than a typical paper air filter. More air can result in increased performance and improved throttle response.

The specially made K&N cotton gauze air filter media allows a K&N replacement air filter to be washed and reused. The ability to wash and reuse a K&N replacement air filter is perhaps more exciting than the increased performance that comes with additional airflow. When the cost of repeatedly replacing the expensive disposable Polaris Ace air filter is taken into consideration, a K&N air filter will pay for itself after just the second cleaning. K&N PL-3214 can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. K&N cleaning products are also available in larger sizes for off-road enthusiasts who need to clean their K&N air filter more often.

K&N engineers know that a Polaris Ace ATV will be used in some of the most extreme conditions imaginable. That is why K&N always seeks to increase performance without sacrificing filtration and engine protection. K&N placed filtration efficiency and dirt retention at the top of the priority list when developing PL-3214 for 2014 and 2015 Polaris Sportsman Ace models. This filter uses design elements that go above and beyond our standard on-road replacement air filters. K&N used two extra layers, totaling six, of our special tight weave cotton gauze sandwiched between wire mesh to form extra deep 1-1/4” pleats. Six layers of 1-1/4” deep pleated cotton filter media allows this filter to outflow the stock air filter, hold more dirt for long service intervals, and offer 98.56% filtration efficiency.

K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 to 8 microns across and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Detailed filtration testing results are available for K&N Polaris Sportsman Ace replacement air filter PL-3214.

Part number PL-3214, for 2014 and 2015 Polaris Ace models, is backed by a one year limited warranty. The K&N Polaris Sportsman Ace replacement air filter is designed to provide increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals without any need for modifications or tuning for the following Polaris Ace models:

2015 Polaris Sportsman Ace 570
2015 Polaris Sportsman Ace 325 
2014 Polaris Sportsman Ace 325

K&N high-flow replacement air filter PL-3214 serves as an air filter cross reference for the OE Polaris Air filter number 7082037.
