Maybe they have switched or were prior. My frame and components are all stamped Polaris. I looked at a Polaris, and it is nearly identical except for the color and stickers. I don't have many complaints, but I have only had it a year. I also am not good about minor maintenance, and my kids are too young to do it on their own, so I feel it's held up so far. We use it a one of 2 primary UTV's for rock picking. Kids are willing to come work if they get to tool around on a UTV.
