Polaris is rolling out its 2015 side-by-sides boasting more horsepower and new work capacities. It's also building on the success of its Sportsman ACE, launched in January, with a significantly up-powered Sportsman ACE 570.I had the opportunity to drive the ACE models on the flatlands outside Greenbush, Minn., not too far from Polaris' engineering and manufacturing facilities at Roseau. The ACE looks like a fun off-roader to drive—and it is. It offered stable, quick ridesdown both a graveled county road and a flooded, muddy trail. The ACE 570, running on a liquid-cooled, 45-hp ProStar electric fuel-injected (EFI) engine, topped out at 50 mph on the road and kept this driver dry through the water and mud of the trail. The original ACE has a 32-hp ProStar EFI engine.
