Side-by-Side Maker Polaris Just Reinvented the CVT, and It Can Change Gear Ratios

CVTs have been largely adopted by the side-by-side world as they're perfect for most every type of off-roading. But a CVT that can change gear ratios on the fly would be amazing, which is what Polaris just invented.

Interesting, it appears to be a first pass at this new feature with the add on cable to push/pull the primary open/closed. While its very good for the sport i doubt this is the final design, well i hope so. It sure sucks the SXS owners are the test idiots at 40k a try.

Don't most new SxS's have a 2 speed transfer case already?
