- MAKE IT YOURS: With a full range of Polaris Engineered accessories, you can take your comfort and protection even further.
- Do you take pride in being ready for anything? Want a machine prepared for everything? Get a GENERAL. From hauling to towing, winching to trail riding, meet the versatile side-by-side ready to do-it-all with you.
Trail comfort
- LONGER DAYS: Longer is what makes a ride epic. And the longer your suspension travel, the longer you’ll want to stay out on the trail. GENERAL helps you get more adventure out of your side-by-side with 12.25” travel up front and 13.2” in back.
- FOR EVERY RIDER: GENERAL is purpose-built to fit both the driver and rider with tilt steering, a bolstered and sliding driver's seat, and adjustable seat belt height to keep everyone more comfortable over miles of rough terrain.
- NEXT DESTINATION: Spending the day riding trails is a whole lot of fun, and GENERAL does it with the most comfortable ride of any crossover side-by-side, and takes the edge off of all-day rides so you’re ready to tackle what’s next.
- A day of rolling over bumps, ruts, rocks and logs can really take a toll. But thanks to a plush and comfortable suspension, smooth and responsive power, and stabilizer bars that deliver superior handling, you can put harsh in the rearview mirror.
