WE ARE READY! ARE YOU?
hat winter cool breeze is in the air, we can smell the snow getting ready to fall. How can you not look forward to winter riding? Yes, it’s colder, but still amazing. Our Fall riding season is winding down, and we can smell the snow coming. With the arrival of the colder mornings and the limited hours of daylight, it’s obvious that the good fall riding is behind us. It seems like some of my friends are more “fair weather maidens” than the tough hardcore off-road enthusiasts that they portray to be when the temps drop. While riding isn’t as favorable at this time of year, it’s still is one of my favorite times. Most of the group I ride with shift gears Nov 1st and instead of riding before Christmas we spend a little more time in the garage. We meet up at one of our garages before the snow arrives to keep the usual trail side chatter going of what vehicles are good

which are not, what accessories are must haves, on sale, good buy or overpriced and must leave on the shelf, etc. These conversations all take place while we are making our rides a little more winter friendly with various tasks ranging from winch maintenance to cab installs, and Ten keeps asking me for Heated Seats. If you haven’t begun winter-ready maintenance on your ATV or side-by-side yet, you still have a little time, but don’t leave it to winter break, start yesterday! The boom of off-road vehicle sales last year, and now the abrupt supply chain slowdowns, our usual general easy to find off-road accessories have been at times Out of Stock. Stock at dealers and retailers has been slim, with much on back-order and unfortunately it doesn’t sound like we’ll be back on track soon enough. In Canada, there is going to be more delays with
the effected rail and truck routes further slowing the flow of product to consumers. In short, if you need something soon get it now or at the very least have your dealer or retailer order it for you. Until the next time, I hope the snow arrives for Christmas, and I hope you’re ready for it. The weather forecasters across North America (who are never wrong…) say that we can expect more snow than usual this winter thanks to the development and arrival of “La Nina”. Remember to shop early for your Holiday Gift List, and nothing says I love you, quite like a snowplow with a bow on it under the tree, and if a belt doesn’t fit in the stocking, get a bigger stocking! See you soon, Rich

take 5
VILLAINS Villains have long played a role in our everyday life. There has always been a good versus evil feud and it made us stronger as individuals and made for a better society. Villains showed us that there is a first place and second place and while everyone should get a trophy for participating there should always be a difference in size and numbers on the actual award. For this issue of Take 5 we look at some of the best Villains of all time.
ALOUETTE VILLAIN SNOWMOBILE
Way back when Alouette is business and manufacturing snowmobiles, they featured three different Villain models in their line-up. A 440cc twin, a 440cc triple and a 650cc triple with three shiny chrome pipes hanging out the side. The Villain (especially the 650) were all limited race sleds and had some very interesting features. Instead of having a leaf spring suspension up front on the skis, they came with a coil over the shock which was a head of its time. Alouette knew the power of having star powered talent behind the bars and in the 1970s they had both Gilles and Jacques Villeneuve. The Villeneuve brothers could make anything go fast, which was exactly what the Alouette Villain needed. These stunning snowmobiles were not as competitive as the manufacturer would have liked as they were heavy and were still being made of steel while many manufacturers had already made the move using more and more aluminum.
SKELETOR
It takes a certain type of Villain to go against the mighty He-Man for 130 episodes over the course of two seasons and lose every time. If the name Skeletor isn’t scary enough this villain’s full name is, Skeletor the Lord of Destruction and Overlord of Evil. Skeletor was a hulking muscular beast with a training in kick ass and if that wasn’t enough, he was also powerful sorcerer. But he could never beat the boy toy known as He-Man. More often than not, Skeletor was defeated because of his blundering evil henchmen. We think Skeletor coined the phrase, “don’t blame the player, blame the game”.
SEGWAY VILLAIN
“Segway” is not just the transportation dream for “Mall Cops” anymore. Segway Off-Road entered into the ultra-competitive Side-by-Side and ATV Market recently and they immediately made waves with the introduction of their Villain SX10 which is a 1000cc 4-stroke producing 105 horsepower and the Hybrid model the Villain SX10 H W. The Hybrid is attracting a lot of interest as it is producing an unheard of 196 horsepower. While the Hybrid Villain hasn’t landed in dealerships yet, the demand is there for a Hybrid with this type of performance. When the Villain SX10 H W does hit showrooms and ultimately into consumers hands, it will sure to be seen hunting down a lot of the competition.

DICK DASTARDLY
His name says it all and Dick is one of the oldest active and underrated villains of all time. He first appeared in 1968 as the main character in Hanna-Barbara’s Wacky Races cartoon where he never won a race but was always competitive and also appeared as the lead character in Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. More times than not, one of his “dastardly” deeds was foiled by his gang eliminating him from winning the race. He best evil doer in his gang was his dog, Muttley. Dastardly’s biggest catch phrases were “Muttley, do something” and “curses, foiled again”. Dick also made reoccurring bad guy appearances in other Hanna-Barbara cartoons such as Yogi Bear and his latest appearance was in the 2020 movie “Scoob”. Being a bad guy for 52 years isn’t easy it’s legendary.
DR. EVIL
Perhaps the most devious villains to ever hit the small or large screen. Dr. Evil featured many notorious henchman to conduct his evil deeds in order to take over the world. He was most notably accompanied by his best henchman, “Number Two”. Number Two was the brains behind Dr. Evil’s company Virtucon Industries which funded all of his evil doings. It was obvious from a young age that he was going to be as evil as he was due to his distinct upbringing. His father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium and his mother was a French prostitute named Chloé with webbed feet. When asked about his father he said, “My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possesses”. Though Dr. Evil was content with focusing his efforts trying to take over the world his biggest accomplishment was actually having sharks with laser beams.

Maverick
X3
For the Maverick X3, according to BRP, 2022 brings “refinement” to the unabashedly, performance-oriented machine. Because you can never have too much power, the paltry 195 horsepower of last year’s three-cylinder turbocharged engine has been upped by five to an even 200. But let’s face it, few of us would be able to tell the difference between 195 and 200 horsepower—unless of course, that engine is mated to a new primary clutch that BRP touts as a game changer. 26
ATV WORLD MAGAZINE • VOL 18 • ISSUE 4
The pDrive primary clutch uses rollers instead of sliders in its design, which BRP says reduces backlash for better performance, greater reliability, and lower noise. While competitor’s clutches require cleaning and inspection every 50 hours or 800 km, pDrive extends maintenance intervals to 100 hours or 3,000 km. Also, the claim of faster upshifting and back-shifting should be a boon when you need immediate power to the ground.
SOME X3 MODELS RECEIVE MORE ROBUST FRONT LOWER A-ARMS AND THICKER MATERIAL IN THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK, IN ADDITION TO A REAR TOE PLATE THAT’S MORE THAN TWICE AS THICK AS BEFORE.
MOTORCYCLE SUPERSHOW • JAN 7-9, 2022 • TORONTO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE • FREE PARKING • MOTORCYCLESUPERSHOW.CA
atvworld atvworldmag.com
On top of (a smidge) more power and the promise of more precise clutching, select X3 models can be fitted with 10-inchwide 30- or 32-inch eight-ply Maxxis Carnivore tires. And because clutching is everything, turbo RR engines have a temperature gauge that monitors ambient air temperature in the CVT enclosure. While we’re on the topic of drivetrain, DS, RS turbo, and turbo RR models receive the smart-loc front differential, which will allow you to drive your way out of any predicament short of an overnight stay in Alcatraz. Other Maverick X3 changes are geared toward durability. Some X3 models receive more robust front lower a-arms and thicker material in the rear suspension lower link, in addition to a rear toe plate that’s more than twice as thick as before. And because the most important piece of equipment on any side-by-side is the roll cage, tubing thickness has increased nearly 30 percent (ditto for the chassis material, too) for reduced flex and a claimed 13 percent increase in torsional rigidity. Finally, before we move on from the Maverick range, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention a pair of models we think are hidden gems in the BRP side-by-side lineup. The Maverick Sport has a 75 horsepower V-twin, and one of our favourite features on BRP side-by-sides: dynamic power steering. You wouldn’t buy a truck without power steering, and unless you’re strictly using a side-by-side for utilitarian purposes, we’d suggest fitting power steering too. The Maverick Sport is a modest 60 inches in width, and at a palatable $18,999, is a machine you can grow with, not out of. Another understated gem in the Maverick range is the Trail. At a svelte 50 inches wide, the Maverick Trail excels when the going gets tight. Tired of making three-point (or more) turns because your side-by-side is too wide to comfortably navigate narrow ATV trails? This could be your machine. Powered by the new HD7 engine (read all about it below), the Trail is also moderately priced. At $14,399 for the base model and $16,799 for the Maverick Trail DPS, with the primary benefit being the addition of power steering, it’s a machine that makes a lot of sense if you live in a region with ATV trials, but limited side-byside trails. And you can even get it in a 75 horsepower V-twin variant if you’re really in a hurry.

Defender
HD9
BRP’s new HD9 and HD7 ACE engines highlight 2022 revisions within the Defender range of workhorse side-by-sides. The 976 cc V-twin HD9 has the most horsepower (65) and torque (60 lb-ft) in its category and more get-up-and-go, claims BRP, than either the Polaris Ranger 1000 or the 812 cc Kawasaki Pro FXR. It’s heartening to see technology like the new pDrive primary clutch immediately trickle down to machines in the lineup that more of us, more often than not, actually buy. The 650 cc single-cylinder HD7 ACE engine claims 52 horsepower, has throttle-by-wire, standard engine braking and turf mode (save that lawn!) and lowered noise and vibration levels vs. the outgoing HD5 engine. At a claimed 52 horsepower the HD7 ACE 28

THE DEFENDER RANGE EXEMPLIFIES THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF THE MARKETPLACE. ONCE UPON A TIME, A BASE-MODEL SIDE-BYSIDE (AND BEFORE THAT, A BASE MODEL ATV) WAS A RELATIVELY SIMPLE, CRUDE MACHINE THAT SOUNDED—AND DROVE— LIKE A LAWN TRACTOR.

positively wallops the 38 horsepower of the old HD5 engine and has five horsepower more than Yamaha’s marginally larger (686 cc) Viking model, claim BRP. Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the Defender range is the sheer breadth of the lineup. While it’s true that the Defender range shares one of three engines (the HD7, the HD9, or the 82 horsepower HD10) the range has an astonishing 18 models. From the base $13,499 Defender on up through the $35,299 Defender Max Limited, the possibilities—especially once you start ticking the option boxes—is virtually endless. The Defender range exemplifies the changing landscape of the marketplace. Once upon a time, a base-model side-byside (and before that, a base model ATV) was a relatively simple, crude machine that
MOTORCYCLE SUPERSHOW • JAN 7-9, 2022 • TORONTO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE • FREE PARKING • MOTORCYCLESUPERSHOW.CA
sounded—and drove—like a lawn tractor. But the past five years have seen a huge jump in both machine capability and sophistication. The base Defender is no less sophisticated than a modern base pickup. It may not have the bells and whistles of the top-of-the-line model, but it’s no less a machine because of it. Conversely, high-end Defender models show how far we’ve come. The $31,799 Defender Limited, $35,299 Defender Max Limited, and the $34,199 Defender Pro Limited have fully enclosed cabins with heating and air conditioning. While it may seem unnecessary to some, 100 years ago, when the automobile ditched half doors and soft tops for a fully enclosed cabin people said the same thing. Few today would suggest we go back to the car as it once was. ATV WORLD MAGAZINE • VOL 18 • ISSUE 4

Commander To claim the Commander competes in a crowded market segment is a gross understatement. Half-play and half-work, the Commander is a machine that can be justified with the head and the heart. And because the head demands practicality, BRP has the facts and figures to convince you that the Commander will be a trusty, undemanding companion for years to come. BRP created a chart where they chronicled the cost of maintenance over a fiveyear period. According to BRP, a Commander 700 requires significantly less preventative maintenance than competing machines. How much less? Half as much, says BRP. And because offIS THE 700 DPS BEST FOR WORK OR TRAIL, YOU ASK? BOTH. FROM $16,699

road machines lead a tortured life, BRP has gone to great lengths to ensure the Commander’s design doesn’t get in the way of keeping it running. The cargo box easily flips out of the way and access to the airbox, radiator, oil filler, CVT, and battery is quick and painless. Are you a procrastinator when it comes to cleaning your air filter? No more. The Commander’s can be accessed by one quarter-turn screw. The range starts at the Commander 700 DPS (from $16,699) and progresses to the Commander 700 XT (from $18,899). Both are powered by the HD7 ACE engine and the XT adds painted bodywork (vs. colour-in construction on the DPS), bigger tires on aluminum wheels, a winch, a roof, and a considerably larger digital display than what you get on the DPS.

The R also sports less obvious details that, nevertheless, are vitally important when the going gets miserable. Arched a-arms on the front suspension aid ground clearance and both the exhaust routing and the air intake to the CVT have been re-routed to lower operating temperatures. And if you’re one who believes two’s a crowd, but four’s half the number you need to square dance, then the four-door Commander MAX XT-P 1000R ($30,799) could be the ticket. The focus shifts slightly from the deep-woods capability of the Commander X mr 1000R to trail performance, but the componentry remains top notch, with a roof, LED lighting, a winch, and Fox Podium QS3 30-inch tires on 15-inch aluminum wheels as standard.

For mega-company Pola ris, 2022 is a year to cement its pandemic-purchase rs to the brand and to coax the undecided off the porc h and into the saddle.

RANGER With a history stretching back more than two decades, the Ranger is a staple in the Polaris lineup. For ’22 the Ranger SP 570 ($13,399, all pricing in Canadian dollars) boasts a larger cargo box and in-cab storage and additional ground clearance—now at 11-inches. Because the world isn’t obligated to clear you a path, the Ranger has a modest 56-inch width and is powered by a 567 cc single that claims 44 horsepower. Dumping that larger, 500-pound cargo box is a one-handed breeze, too, thanks to gas assist shocks. A two-inch receiver hitch facilitates a 1,500 pound towing capacity.

And to ensure domestic harmony, the Ranger has something called the VersaTrac Turf Mode, which is a fancy way of saying that the rear differential can be unlocked so that when you’re working on your lawn you’re not shredding your lawn and creating more work. A worthwhile upgrade to the base model is the Ranger SP 570 Premium ($15,899), which adds, most significantly, power steering. And if you’ve had it with freezing your behind off during early spring mud runs or in hunting season, the whole-hog Ranger SP 570 NorthStar Edition ($21,599) adds to the Premium’s features a roof, full doors, a glass windshield and rear panel, a winch, and a heater. And if you’re someone who won’t go anywhere unless you bring the whole team, the three models listed above are also available as Ranger Crew models, with four doors and four seats. Features and specifications echo the two-door models, and prices are $15,299 for the base model, $17,799 for the Premium, and $24,699 for the NorthStar Edition. Still can’t find a Ranger that works for you? Don’t despair. The Ranger range sports an inexhaustible number of variants. From the budget-conscious $11,699 Ranger 500 to the electric Ranger EV ($15,299) to the $33,799 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Edition (heat and air conditioning) to the mud-slinging $21,399 Ranger XP 1000 High Lifer Edition, the Ranger can be all things to all people.

YOUR GO-TO SHOP FOR HUGE RIDE AND HANDLING IMPROVEMENTS What makes the shocks so good? Motorsports Suspension Specialists
Aluminium bodies with tough hard anodizing on inside bore reduces wear and resulting contamination this leads to a longer service life and more stable performance over that service life
Stage 3,4 & 5 models with compression adjuster for comfort and anti bottoming control. Low-friction internal piston to separate oil from nitrogen for a highly responsive ride Stage 3, 4 & 5 models have an external reservoir with added oil volume for more consistent action and extended service intervals
Dual rate springs permit 1 - Soft top travel = better comfort, reduced steering effort, reduced left-right bobbling and dramatically improved tire grip as each tire can articulate much easier. 2 - stronger bottom travel = improved safety and greatly reduced bottoming which permits faster, safer operation with less chassis kick. Basically the window of operation is WAY bigger than with the stock shocks. Extra large 16mm, 19mm and 22mm shafts (depending on body size) displaces more oil for better damping control Stage 2, 4 & 5 models with rebound adjuster allow you to match the tire recovery to the speed you are going. Rebound control in the rear greatly reduces seat kick on a big bump.

RZR If the Ranger is about finding life/work balance, Polaris’ RZR range is unabashedly hedonistic—it’s all about fun. The base model is the $13,399 RZR Trail 570, and one step up is the $16,499 RZR Trail (yes, it’s a little confusing to decipher Polaris’ modelnaming nomenclature). Both models are 50-inches wide, which means you can negotiate narrow (as in ATV) trails without ripping mirrors or fenders off. If you’ve got a bit more breathing room, the 60-inch-wide RZR Trail S could be the ticket. With three models that range in horsepower from 75 in the Trail S 900 ($18,999) to 100 horsepower in the Trail S 1000 ($22,199), you’ve got some choosing to do. Regardless of your choice, all RZR models have full doors (we like mud as much as the next guy—just not down our socks), a shade over 13 inches of suspension travel, revised adjustable seating, and a tilt steering wheel. 38

Welcome additions to the RZR Trail S are a seven-inch “glove touch” display, which includes GPS navigation and something called “group ride,” which allows you to keep track of your friends on the trail so they don’t abandon you and become your ex-friends. And because nothing makes you appreciate the sounds of nature more than an audio system with which you can obliterate the sounds of nature, the Rockford Fosgate 400-watt factory-installed system is at your command. RZR Multi-Terrain models amp up the off-road prowess and, again, come in a multitude of models. For confirmed bachelors in the crowd, the $19,299 RZR RS1 is the industry’s only single-seater. Polaris claims the $24,299 RZR XP 1000 is the industry’s best-selling performance side-byside, and four-seater models are available, too, all the way up to the $40,499 RZR Pro XP 4 Ultimate with an eyeball-flattening 181 horsepower on tap. And, finally, we have a machine that makes us want to be in grade school again. The $6,899 RZR 200 EFI is a kid-friendly side-by-side that sports a 180 cc fuel-injected single. But don’t let its modest price or small engine fool you. This is a proper machine with all the features that today’s hovering parents demand. The 200’s speed can be governed by an app, a feature ensures that riders are wearing helmets, and geographical limits can be imposed so your kids don’t head down to the pool hall. (Kids: ask your parents what a pool hall is.) Polaris has thought of everything with this model. A tilt steering wheel belies the modest price-point and it even comes with a pair of helmets. SINGLE-SEAT RZR PRO XP4 ONLY SEATS ONE. IT’S PERFECT, IN OTHER WORDS.
FINALLY, WE HAVE A MACHINE THAT MAKES US WANT TO BE IN GRADE SCHOOL AGAIN.

Built, according to Polaris, for those “looking to go further, in search of new destinations and experiences, the XP 1000 is for longer, more adventurous hauls with riders and all their gear.” And Polaris’ words aren’t just hollow ad copy. The XP’s Ride Command seven-inch glove-touch “infotainment” system allows riders in a group to follow a predetermined route even if they’re outside cell range.
A follow-the-leader feature allows a designated rider to leave a “digital track” for everyone to follow to the destination. Another sweet feature is the capability to send texts within the group without cell service. Travelling means bringing the goods, and a 600-pound-capacity dumping cargo box means nothing will be left behind. Adding cargo capacity is the “lock and ride adventure bed rack,” a rack that sits

(you guessed it) Polaris’ Ride Command technology as outlined in our preview of the General side-by-side above. Sometimes technology can be more unwelcome intrusion than helpful companion, but Ride Command promises to be the latter. (If you’ve ever tried riding with a cell phone between your knees to help you navigate, you know what we mean.) Now you can let members of your group know the route as well as exchange texts to update everyone in case of the unexpect-

Useful features on this upscale pair are three-position-adjustable electronic power steering, LED lighting, and front and rear arched A-arms for more generous ground clearance. Meaty 26-tires adorn the 570 (the 1000s are 27-inch) and aluminum wheels are standard. Powering the 570 is Polaris’ tested-and-true 44 horsepower single while the 1000 has a 952 cc twin with a muscular 90 horsepower.

TVs leave little room for designers to work their magic. Dominated by big wheels and equally big fenders to keep the mud at bay, and with large carrying racks front and rear, beauty to the ATV enthusiast is determined by how well the manufacturer addresses these challenges. In the case of the Snarlers, the answer is impressively well, though we’re not sure if they achieve the “controlled tension” that Segway claims in its sales literature. There was a time when a company new to a segment would need to spend years in the dark forest of product development before competitive products would see the light of day. It’s hard to imagine, given the success of the company today, but Hyundai’s Pony, the South Korean car maker’s

first foray into the Western marketplace, was so wretched it nearly skewered the brand for good. Product design—thankfully—has significantly moved on since the 1980s, and Snarlers aren’t saddled by poor industrial design, or by the use of sub-standard components or materials. The three-model Snarler range is powered by the same twin-cam, four-valve, 570 cc single. Claiming 44 horsepower and 48 N-m of torque, the mill fires to life instantly, and settles into a smooth and quiet idle. Fuel-injection programming and CVT calibration for the Snarlers that we tested, matches the sophistication of units from major OEMs. And while 44 horsepower isn’t going to peel your cheeks back from your teeth, the Snarler is quick enough to be engaging, and for general trail and around-the-homestead-use, we’d rather have the Snarler’s sophisticated drivetrain calibration than a more powerful engine, hobbled by a lackluster drivetrain. “Untamed,” it’s not. But that’s a very good thing. The base model for the range is the $7,995 Snarler AT6 SE. With 12-inch steel wheels (sporting 25x8 front tires and 25x10 rear tires), the SE has colour-injected bodywork with colour names that suggest someone within Segway had a four-martini lunch prior to heading back to the office. Your options? Dream green with bold
black. Or smart blue paired with innovative grey. Our favourite, though it sounds like something related to physical rehab from an industrial accident, is the “electric white and tensive O&R.” Up a notch in the Snarler hierarchy is the $9,595 AT6 SX. Immediately noticeable are the 14-inch aluminum beadlock rims with 26x8 front and 26x10 rear tires. Two of the base-model SE colours are maintained, though smart blue and innovative grey is jettisoned for dream green and bold black. Befitting of a colour upgrade, the SX’s bodywork is painted and not injected as on the base SE model. As far as other upgrades to lure you away from the SE, the SX adds electric power steering, a 2,500 lb. winch, gascharged shocks (the SE’s are hydraulic) and locking front and rear differentials—the SE has a front locking differential only. Tired of being alone? Looking for a little companionship? Then scurry over to the two-up AT6 LX. With a 57.1-inch wheelbase (nearly a full six-inches longer than the 51.2-inch wheelbase of the SE and SX) the LX is essentially a stretch-limo SX. Variations between the SX and LX, aside from a two-up seat with an included backrest, are fairly minor. The winch gains 500 lb. of capacity, to bring it to an even 3,000 lb., and the front and rear racks, which boast capacity of 88 lb. front and 132 lb.

rear (same as the SE and SX) are made of a composite material, and not steel as on the solo-seat models. And your passenger won’t be the only one getting a boost—the LX’s lighting goes from the halogen employed on the SE/ SX to LED. Consistent on all three Snarler models are 10.6-inches of ground clearance, a system that modulates engine braking, a digital dashboard, a 2-inch receiver hitch and, because technology rules the universe, a “smart moving” app that allows you to access “real-time data” of your Snarler from your phone. In our admittedly brief test session, the Snarlers behaved admirably. Despite giving it our best shot, we couldn’t get one stuck in the mud, so we can’t comment on the effectiveness of the winch, but the comfort of having a winch gave us the foolish nerve to attempt just about anything. By the end of the day, we were itching to give the Snarler range a go on a long weekend ride. With 24 litres of fuel capacity, and useful features such as integrated storage at the tail-end and in front of the driver’s cockpit, it’s a machine that deftly straddles both sides of the pleasure riding/ workhorse challenge. Segway’s ATVs are better than a brandnew, up-from-nothing lineup has a right to be. And the brand has within its global range—though not yet for the Canadian marketplace—the technology to become a major player in Canada. A bold statement? Perhaps. But for other markets, Segway has an ATV with the 1,000 cc paralleltwin that currently powers its side-by-side range. Even more intriguing is the model (again, not for us) that bolts a hybrid electric motor to the same base 570 cc single that powers the Snarler models we rode. The upshot? A massive boost in power and the ability to slink around in electric mode when you’d rather not announce your arrival. The benefit of such technology for hunting is obvious. As is the benefit for sneaking the Snarler back into the garage when you’ve lost track of time and missed dinner. Again. Our message to Segway? As good as the standard models are, we can’t wait to run the hybrids through their paces. Bring it on! 48

HMF RACING ATV WORLD Magazine sits down with HMF
T
here is a lot of history to HMF Racing, much you may not have known. According to the paperwork, HMF originated in 1997 in Cleveland, Ohio. However, it technically started in 1947 when its founder, Hans Luenger and his wife, Annelie Luenger fled Germany during WWII. Hans learned to fly in Adolf Hitler’s Youth Corps. He soloed a glider at age 14-1/2 and, at the time, had 1500 hours in motorless aircraft. During WWII, he was a lieutenant in the German air force and flew transport planes for the German army. During an operation, deception forced him to land with 70 other German pilots on a German base held by Americans. All of them were taken prisoner and held for 18 months. At the age of 24, Hans escaped, gathered his belongings with his wife Annelie and hitched onto a boat, west-bound for Canada, where they spent two years learning English and studied for their naturalization tests. Through resiliency and adversity, they made it to the United States in Cleveland, Ohio, where they set up shop. Current owner, and son to Hans and Annelie, Hans was born in the United States. He started his engineering career early, working alongside his father, building, and repairing airplanes at the curious age of five. Sometime in 1967, his father and partners decided to build the first fiberglass sailplane in the U.S., known as Project Beta. Project Beta was a 55-foot self-designed sailplane with a sleek new fuselage it took five years to build and the young Hans worked beside his father changed the aileron drive on a Ka-7-type to an internal drive system while holding the pan as he tirelessly built the fiberglass body. Those days were

the foundation for everything the young Hans would create moving forward. One of the passions of the younger Hans was racing. He caught the speed bug in his twenties and realized that the performance on his motorcycles and four wheelers had more to give then what was there and this is where his engineering background kicked in. The first exhaust In the 1980s and ‘90s, I worked as a millwright designing and building mills and maintaining mil machinery for PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Glass). Recently after purchasing my home, a company-wide layoff at PPG occurred. Needing to make money quickly, I started customizing motorcycles, building custom parts and got myself into road racing. Some of the performance pieces I was making began to get noticed by racers, increasing the demand for parts. The word quickly spread, making its way to New Jersey where Fast by Ferracci owner Evaldo Ferraci had his shop. Through several contacts, HMF started building the race systems for the 916’s that Fast by Ferraci raced in the AMA SuperBike Circuit. For the first two years, HMF did a private labeling for Ferraci, which proved to be the leg that got the company off the ground. HMF (Hans Motorrad Factory) Engineering was created in 1997 and developed their first exhaust line for the Honda RC-51 and Suzuki GSX-R motorcycles. The demand for these performance exhausts catapulted HMF to create more highperformance aftermarket exhausts for motorcycles. During the “four-wheel revolution,” they started developing exhausts for the Honda 400EX. The aggressive, deep sound of HMF exhausts was absolutely what the off-road demanded.
MOTORCYCLE SUPERSHOW • JAN 7-9, 2022 • TORONTO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE • FREE PARKING • MOTORCYCLESUPERSHOW.CA
In 2002, a young man named Johnny Gallagher Sr. came into the shop and filled the powers to be at HMF in on the offroad racing world. By 2003, Johnny introduced HMF to some of the top racers in the off-road world, quickly teaching them, the ins-and-outs of the race game. That same year, Hans met the infamous Mike Penland and joined his team to race the Baja 1000. In 2005, they won their class in the Baja 1000, only after two years running together. In 2014, HMF saw another off-road revolution through the side by side world. Racing would forever change, and the aftermarket parts demanded changed right along with it. With years of experience under HMF’s belt, they dove headfirst into research and development. Racing out west in the Mint400 and Vegas to Reno gave them the knowledge to win the Baja 1000 again in 2018 in the Prop unlimited Turbo Class. Today, HMF Engineering has fifty employees and has products for over 130 off-road models with over 17,000 individual exhaust skews. Other products that HMF offers is front and rear bumpers, rock sliders and spare tire carriers to list a few. ATV World had the opportunity to catch up with HMF Racing’s Creative Director Lance Drew to ask him a few questions.

Heidi McNary
with
For this edition of ATV World’s 5 Minutes With, we were lucky enough to catch up with the new Powersports Vice-President and General Manager of Arctic Cat, Heidi McNary. Heidi grew up in a small town in eastern Washington and has an Undergrad in Engineering with an MBA. Most of her career has been spent in aviation, designing turbine engine parts, leading manufacturing businesses, product development teams and service centers. Heidi’s new role as the Powersports VP/GM include a wide range of responsibilities such as driving a unified and compelling, strategic plan for product development, channel partnerships and production, as well as implementing core business processes to improve dealer tools, customer experiences and executions on Arctic Cat commitments to all their stakeholders. Heidi is excited to now be part of Arctic Cat’s Team in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, and we’re excited to speak with her. 54

MOTORCYCLE SUPERSHOW • JAN 7-9, 2022 • TORONTO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE • FREE PARKING • MOTORCYCLESUPERSHOW.CA
Thank you for your time today Heidi. We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to talk with you. Thank you, I’m excited for the opportunity as well. How are things at Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls? Well we’ve officially closed on our house, so I’m happy to say my family and I are the three newest residents of Thief River Falls. I’ve been diving in deep in this role and I’m happy to say that things are very busy at Arctic Cat. We have our off-road model year launch fast approaching, we’re running as many lines as possible, and we’re looking to hire about 300 employees in the next two years. So, it’s a busy company in a busy market. Arctic Cat’s customers are extremely faithful. This has been proven over decades and has been important especially over the last few years. Moving forward, how are you planning on keeping the old faithful’s happy, while also attracting new customers? I think this is a very important question because sometimes people think new leadership means walking away from the past, but we are doing everything we can to
make Arctic Cat feel like Arctic Cat again. We are, of course, always going to be looking forward and adapting to the everchanging market, but we’re not going to forget where we started. It’s a lineage that’s been built over decades and we have that strong tether to the past, but it’s not a chain. We’re learning to grow while also keeping that aspirational feeling of the ride alive – a feeling we want to introduce new customers to. And that feeling, that nostalgia, stems from our legacy. Arctic Cat has a large share of longstanding dealers that have been providing excellent service over the years. Is there anything in the works to make them not only stronger and more profitable, but also to help them make the customer’s dealer experience even better? Without our dealers, there is no Arctic Cat, so we value every single one of them – especially our long-standing ones. We’re looking at ways to elevate their businesses with various marketing programs and tools that help them better connect with riders in their region. We are implementing resources that ensure all customers feel like they stepped into an Arctic Cat “world” no matter which dealership they visit. And we’re also
MOTORCYCLE SUPERSHOW • JAN 7-9, 2022 • TORONTO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE • FREE PARKING • MOTORCYCLESUPERSHOW.CA
constantly improving our accessory offerings to not only give dealers the best margin opportunity, but to allow them to work with their customers to truly create a ATV or Side-by-Side that is one of a kind and suits their needs. The best way to make riders feel the affinity to the ride and keep them riding is to make it unique and personal to them. Dealer inventories across the powersports market are at an all-time low. How is Arctic Cat going to help get inventories back up and moving, reload their dealers quicker and service the “wanting” needs of the customer? Great question. It all comes down to this dichotomy of stable ops versus flexibility. We have an intense sense of urgency and drive to be the best, so we’re working to be as efficient as possible so we can build the maximum number of snowmobiles possible. However, due to the uncertainty of the supply chain we also need to be flexible and nimble enough to pivot at a moment’s notice. My job is to align my team with the ownership lifecycle and help them stay connected to the fact that customers are waiting for our product.
ATV WORLD MAGAZINE • VOL 18 • ISSUE 4
55
That relationship is very important to us. Another thing they can expect is less hiding behind this veil of secrecy. We want to clue you in on the strategic work we’ve been doing and we want you to feel connected to the brand again. We’re ready to start sharing these projects that we’ve been working hard at for years. And lastly, I know this will require a bit of trust, but customers can expect to see a more consistent and stable Arctic Cat. The changes, although difficult, helped us form an idea of what to do and what not to do. We’re going to develop plans, execute them, and stick to them.
What are the three most important details that your customers and dealers should know about Arctic Cat as we enter the 2022 season? 1. I feel like we’re constantly repeating this, and I know that there is a bit of hesitation to believe it, but we’re not closing. We’re not going anywhere. We’re committed to the brand, and we’re here to stay. We’re investing in the Thief River Falls facility, we’re hiring more people, and we’re investing in our products and services. 2. We are focusing on our customer’s experience with Arctic Cat as a whole. Our goal is to get people to use the product, because once they’re on it they love it. So, what are some things we can do to get people on our product? 3. We want to focus and reward dealers that we do have right now and that are taking on and retailing Arctic Cat products. These supply chain constraints are real, and it is a day-to-day fight. We are working to get ahead of it and get the product out as aggressively as we can but that probably means, short-term, we’re not adding as many dealers. We want to make sure that our current dealers have the product to meet retail. 56
ATV WORLD MAGAZINE • VOL 18 • ISSUE 4
Arctic Cat witnessed a lot of changes and restructuring in the last 24 months. What can customers expect from Cat in the near future and beyond? They can expect to see a few things, one of them being what I just touched on and that is our dealers. They’re our partners, they’re our family, they’re us.
What trends do you see Arctic Cat ATVs and Side-by- Sides following in the future? We are continually looking for the unique ways our customers want to use and experience our vehicles. Our focus is to develop ATV’s and Side-by-Sides that reach out to the soul of our riders seeking new levels of performance and technology. The future of Arctic Cat Off Road products will be making the rider feel more connected to the machine and enabling new adventures. Thank you for your time today. Thanks for having me!
