Wow I am really excited about this one! I can't wait to see where this new machine gos over the next few years. I love the concept of doors and a cage on an ATV sized machine. I'll be calling my dealer soon!!

Exactly! By the time my daughter is old enough to drive one of these, they will (should) be incredible!!
Ya we were looking at getting a 570 for our grand kids but I think it will now be an Ace !

I wonder how easy it is to use your body english to control its stability, like you can do on a quad. Im guessing it can be done with minimal effect, but not nearly like it can be done on a quad. I can just see all the future youtube videos of these being flipped and rolled due to having less control over stability, unlike a quad. I hope I don't, but time will tell.
Polaris re-invents the Honda Odyssey. I think we will see XP based models in the next couple of years. Dream model would 6X6 model with xp front suspension and bigger motor.
I'm sure Polaris will have warning labels with an age limit, but honestly this thing would be perfect for kids. I would rather have my son (11 years old) ride something like this then an ATV. Something about having a cage and doors around you that is comforting. I think this is the perfect upgrade from a RZR 170 which he has had plenty of experience on. The engine is perfectly matched with the suspension. A decent amount of power when you need it, but not enough to really get into trouble.

The concept is nice, but too bad it is only 327cc with 32hp and 825 pounds dry.
I don't think the specs do the ACE justice. It sounds a lot less powerful then it really is.

My mom has been wanting to get a four wheeler because the others in her retirement community have them but I was not letting that happen,, but with this (cage, sit down seat and hard doors) im going to get her one,,
a lot less $$$ than the 570 that she was going to get
I think it'll be fun. Fun to ride; fun to mod.
It'll be interesting to see what it can do in RACE MOD.
Looks good for sure, I imagine in a few years we will see it with an 850 and power steering?

I think it is pure brilliance on the part of Polaris. Many times riding an atv, I wished if i could have some over head weather protection and seat.
Polaris saw my dream. LOL

I could see a camo hunting edition with gun rack and a winch. My step dad could use that he rolled his quad this year hunting and got banged up pretty good and he could care less about HP.

I think this is great...and what a great price point. Anxious to see the reviews. I'm guessing Polaris left out the cc's for a reason.
Looks promising. I'm hoping for a model with a 500 to 600cc (or more) motor, 12" to 14" inches of travel, 2" extra width (50"), EPS, and LED head and tail lights!
Here's to the future!!!

Don't let those cc's scare you. Just watched a video review on it. He said he got it up to 52mph on a dirt trail. I think this things engine size will be underestimated like the 570 was.

What do I think ? Woo Hoo ! Great idea ! Polaris has done it yet again.

Seriously. First off, it's being very well received around the web already. Everybody is all " Wow!" over it. And why not....It's way cool looking! Yes that matters. Also, it seems quite capable and is very innovative. Look, many people want a S x S but some can't haul one. I've seen many forum posts about this. Either they don't have a trailer or it's too small, the truck's too small or they already have atvs and can't also fit a S x S.

No problem with the ACE. The ACE will fit in the back of a short bed truck (tailgate down) ! How cool is that ? No need to buy another hauler for your new toy! Save big bucks! It would fit INSIDE my enclosed trailer with my ATVs where other S x S won't. Voila ! Top it off, it's got a great price point, too. Very affordable.

The accessories look great on it and they're all there already. People have been wanting a machine like this for decades.

Polaris is truly hitting it out of the park lately. Word. Sportsman XPs. Sportsman 570. Scrambler XP 850 & XP 1000. Sportsman WV 850. Did you see all those new Razr releases ?

The ACE is another great machine. Nobody else is even coming close to Polaris innovation these days. Well done Polaris. Well done. Thank you!

That's what I think.

I will own one but, not until a bigger motor is put in it.
Called my dealer and told him I want the first one! Sure I want EPS and more HP but like all Polaris machines they ill get better each year…Congratulations Polaris been wanting a single seater for year..This will go along with my Sportsman 850 EPS LE 2 up and my Ranger 900 XP EPS LE..
