Could this be the "next big thing" for Polaris

Polaris submitted patent request for driver adjustable Active suspension :

ATV.com

Theres been talk of this for the last few years. If the patents been submitted, then its probably gonna happen. Dealers meeting is coming up next month, so all of Polaris's new stuff will be out. I think a new 50" RZR with a new Prostar 65 to 70 HP engine, revised suspension and styling will be out and a 60" S model with the tried and true 900 Prostar engine with 1000 plastics will be out too. Just a guess.

 

Interesting.  Polaris does not need to implement this -- they just do not do engineering well enough.  I had a Can-am with Air-Adjustable suspension and when it screwed up it was a Pain.  That was simple.  This patent is far more complicated.

Polaris needs to focus on build quality and designing a good air filter.  Bushing that can't last 1000 miles is crazy.

Thanks for sharing

Good Post --- Thanks

Unless I take big swings with my shocks, my ass just doesn't notice the difference when I adjust them. I love the people that adjust shocks with 2-3 clicks here or 2-3 clicks there. I just don't feel the change. Something like this would not be a selling feature to me, just another pricey gadget.

Part of it is you are riding a machine that already has a good suspension, if you rode a machine that was tuned correctly then you woudl get back in yours and it would either feel like a brick or a sponge. On a suspension like what you are talking about 1 to 2 clicks makes a lot of difference, stock stuff not so much.

      That will be awesome if they make a seat like that.  

I want suspension seats! Rode is JDs Razor with suspension seats and was amazed!

As soon as google gets a hold of it it'll drive itself too.  

That's already out. Y a company called IRide.
