The American company Polaris (Polaris) was founded in 1954. It became famous primarily for snowmobiles – so far they have collected awards in various competitions for snowmobiles, various innovations and progressive ideas in this industry.
Polaris launched motorcycles in 1988 – a series of Victory motorcycles, cruisers and choppers. Their main distinctive feature was an extraordinary and memorable appearance. In addition, the Polaris logo has guaranteed customers the reliability and unpretentiousness of the offered bikes.
For eighteen years, the parent company Polaris invested considerable funds in the development of the brand, but the competitive pressure on the market of motor vehicles forced it to close the production of motorcycles.
