Polaris is a Minnesota-based manufacturer of snowmobile, ATVs and golf carts. The company used to also make watercraft. Snowmobile engines for Polaris come from the same company that manufactures engines for the popular car maker, Subaru. The 2001 Polaris 700 XC featured a lighter design than previous years' snowmobiles.
Physical Features
-
The 2001 Polaris snowmobile models feature the "EDGE" chassis. The EDGE design results in a much lighter snowmobile than previous years by about 10 pounds. The placement of key mechanical components contributes to the lighter design. The seat features a tackier material that is meant to keep the driver from falling off the vehicle and hydraulic brakes are standard. The Polaris 700 XC seats one person. The engine coolant capacity is four quarts and the fuel capacity is 11.8 gallons. The vehicle is 45 inches high and 48 inches wide with a snow track length of 121 inches.
Suspension
-
The front suspension shocks have been placed on a slight forward angle that absorbs impact at a greater rate than its previous model year, according to a review from American Snowmobiler magazine. The rear suspension components feature a dual angle tunnel that allows for longer operation of the snowmobile with increased handling and 40 percent less vibration in the steering column.
Colors
-
All of the 2001 Polaris 700 XC models were manufactured in the choice of three colors: race sled red, metallic black and Rigel blue. The metallic black and Rigel blue were produced in limited quantities when the models were first introduced.
