This is the second year in a row a Polaris vehicle has won the prestigious award with the RANGER XP 900 winning last year.

"This past January, Polaris defined an entirely new type of off-road vehicle with the introduction of the ACE," said David Longren, vice president of the Off-Road Division for Polaris. "ACE was built for a wide variety of riders, including the hunting community, and it's an honour to be recognised by the world's leading outdoor magazine for a second year in a row."

Polaris say the revolutionary, new design of the Sportsman ACE combines the size and nimble handling of the Sportsman All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), and the confidence and comfort of the RANGER and RZR side-by-sides, in a rider-centric design with a trail-capable and easily transportable 48 in/121.9 cm width. The Sportsman ACE debuted with a 32 horsepower ProStar Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engine and now is also available with a 45 horsepower ProStar 570 EFI engine.
