For a stable and smooth ride, the Polaris GENERAL
has an 81-inch wheelbase complemented with a
performance-oriented suspension for ultimate
control. The vehicle features a dual a-arm front
suspension with a class-best 12.25 inches (31.12
cm) of suspension travel and 13.2 inches (33.53
cm) rear travel that is calibrated to soak up
rocks, roots, bumps and ruts. Standard front
and rear sway bars keep the ride level and reduce
body roll through aggressive cornering on trails.
Ground clearance is also best-in-class, with
12 inches (30.48 cm) unloaded, and 7.4 in (18.8
cm) when loaded with 600 lbs. (272 kg) of camping
gear or work materials in the dumping bed. The
vehicle also features a full-body skid plate
to protect from trail obstacles.

Polaris General FOX Suspension |
The Polaris GENERAL features a High-Performance,
Close Ratio All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system maximizing
power delivery to the ground in every condition
for a more responsive ride. When needed, all
four wheels will engage almost instantly for
more forward traction and will revert back to
2WD when it is no longer needed. The vehicle
also features an Engine Braking System (EBS)
for more control when trailering up to 1,500
lbs (680 kg) and on descents. Along with the
AWD and EBS system, a faster steering ratio
coupled with standard Electronic Power Steering
(EPS) means the vehicle takes the brunt of what
the terrain has to offer so the operator can
play or work longer.
The Polaris GENERAL showcases fully-integrated
accessories and with more than 30 brand new
Polaris Engineered Accessories™ and 90-plus
common fit items, the vehicle can be customized
to work more efficiently and get back to the
trail quicker. The cab frame features profile
tubing providing a 360-degree sealing surface
that accepts the revolutionary Polaris Pro-Fit
Lock & Ride® Technology providing the best
in class cab comfort. Windshields, roofs, doors
and rear panels follow the shape of the vehicle,
locking directly into the cab frame’s precision
contours. The vehicle also accepts the Glacier®
Plow Systems, a full line of protection, several
LED lighting options and Lock & Ride storage
Accessories to quickly and easily add or change
as needed for the trail or job. For ultimate
class-leading cab comfort, a heater kit and
windshield wiper kit provide additional all-weather
options.
