XPEDITION 325 5-SPEED

There’s a new member of the Polaris ATV family - the 5-speed manual transmission family. The new 325 model joins its big brother, the 5-speed Xpedition 425, in the Polaris line of ATVs for 2000. Ideal for work, trail riding, and hunting, the Xpedition 325 has a Polaris 325 4-stroke, air-cooled engine with a heavy duty, 3-stage oil cooled fan assist. The power is delivered to the wheels via shaft drive, part of the Polaris Shaft Ride System, a unique drive train suspension, chassis system which gives the Xpedition 325 an extremely tough, semi-integrated frame with fewer and stronger components. The Shaft Ride System incorporates the Polaris Tractionline mount rear shock, which increases the traction delivered to the ground during acceleration and braking. The long-travel, progressive rate swing arm rear suspension has a 1 5/8-inch twin-tube shock. The suspension provides 7.0 inches of travel for a smooth ride and great handling. The Xpedition 325 has a long-travel (6.7 inches) MacPherson strut front suspension and a tight-turning radius of 65 inches. When the job or the trail calls for extra traction, a rider can, without stopping, use a handlebar-mounted thumb switch to activate the intelligent On-Demand 4-wheel drive system, which provides true 4-wheel traction. The Polaris 4-wheel drive system senses when the rear wheels start to lose traction and instantly and automatically engage both front wheels with full torque using shaft drive. The 5-speed Polaris Xpeditions are the only standard transmission 4-wheel drive ATVs on the market that can be switched between 2 and 4-wheel drive while on the move. Polaris-exclusive E-Z shift Reverse which lets a rider shift into reverse quickly and easily. Just push a button and tap the shift lever. It’s that simple! Another unique feature is the stepped floorboard design which positions the rider’s boot under the shift lever, yet keeps the heel slightly higher for comfort and balance. As with all Polaris ATVs, these are full floorboards with integrated footpegs. The body panels of the Xpedition 325 are a striking metal flake called Chestnut Metallic. The Chestnut Metallic is imbedded in the durable plastic material through a unique manufacturing process exclusive to Polaris. This process ensures that the color remains as vibrant even after years of use as when the Xpedition 325 is brand new. The full floorboards and front and rear cargo racks are made of a durable composite material, and the cargo rack capacity is 270 pounds (90 pounds front, 180 rear). The Xpedition 325 also has two grille-mounted quartz halogen headlights, a brake light, electric start, tow hitch, a tool kit, and a 3.75 gallon (U.S.) fuel tank.
