Polaris Revolver Concept ATV
by Nick Harris

Polaris Revolver Concept ATV – Can you believe it’s been exactly 3 years since Polaris Industries unveiled this Polaris Revolver Concept vehicle? It was designed with a European market in mind because many European ATV riders drive their quads on the road. I’ve been patiently waiting to see where Polaris would take their award winning concept, and secretly hoping it would be available in the U.S., no word yet on a final production release date… tick-tock.

Polaris Revolver Model – The 2005 Paris auto show where this sport quadricycle was first revealed set the ATV universe buzzing for more. Polaris re-worked the original model to enter the 2007 Micheline Design Challenge where it gained a lot of prestige and created even more buzz. When will it enter production?

The Revolver ATV was close to being launched into production in early 2007 judging by the wording used in Polaris Industries press releases however timing is everything and the economy is suffering on a global scale right now. Perhaps when it shows signs of rebounding Polaris will set the road-legal concept revolver ATV on it’s course in history. IF Polaris releases it in U.S. markets I wouldn’t be surprised by a name change. The word revolver being included on a product constantly facing public safety concerns might not be a great idea. How does “road warrior” sound ?

Polaris Concept ATV design is ongoing and prior to recession Polaris was fast becoming a market leader in small vehicle sales with significant yearly sales. Polaris is well known in the snowmobile market and has successfully parlayed it’s in house design and production teams into amazing new ATV ideas. Whatever the future brings I’m counting on Polaris to be there bringing us cutting edge products like the revolver concept.

The Polaris Revolver may still be on hold in a huge warehouse filled with awesomeness but if Santa has his way this year my wish of seeing this beauty produced, and distributed in the U.S., may not be very far away. Seeing quads, four wheelers and ATV’s on public roads is still a rare occasion in the U.S., it’s against the law in many places, but that is slowly changing as people realize it’s better to improve safety regulations than to ignore emerging fuel conserving transportation. ATV’s can have all of the power a motorcycle does but they also have three times the rubber touching the ground.
If this concept is released in your country, would you want one ?

Hell yeah! We just spent 2 weeks buried under snow here, and I would have killed for a street legal quad.
