2013 Polaris Brutus
The 2012 Polaris Brutus is the base model in its family of work-focused SxS machines, but it is far from being a lazy slacker. This 900cc-class diesel beast has all it needs to get the toughest jobs done and make the rider happy at the end of the day. With a 1-ton towing capacity and massive 560 kg loading bed capacity, the daily chores already seem easier. Even more, operating this machine is far more simple than you'd believe: a single special pedal allows the operator to travel in forward or reverse without shifting and without taking a hand off the steering wheel.
The De Dion suspension has been tuned for heavy-duty usage under stressful conditions, and the whole build of the 2012 Polaris Brutus is engineered for the toughest tasks. The beast even comes with the acclaimed Polaris on-demand AWD for extra grip when the going gets tough. And with countless Lock & Ride accessories, the Brutus can be easily transformed in just the right tool for any job.
