Polaris offers more than just Polaris accessories

Polaris offers a complete line of well designed OEM accessories, but did you know that they go above and beyond in the wide range of items that they offer?

Polaris has become well known for seeking out innovative and high quality accessories that complement their OEM products. They evaluate and test potential new entries into their accessories catalog and then if found worthy create partnerships to bring those products to all snowmobilers.

BiteHarder, Caliber and Super Clamp products as well as many other proven products for all brands can be found in the Polaris accessories catalog or at Polaris.com

One such “offered by Polaris” product that we have used this year is the Ramp Pro by Caliber

Caliber’s stated mission is to be the industry leader in trailer accessories. Caliber specializes in accessories and products that make transporting recreational vehicles easier, safer and more secure. They offer an incredible number of innovative products.

For a few years now we have been getting tired of looking for the right size snow bank or using boards as a ramp to get a snowmobile into the back of the truck. While not preferred, a sled in the truck is necessary whenever there are 3 of us going on a trip or when we are travelling alone to meet others or attending an event solo and want to get a little better fuel mileage.

This year we had the opportunity to up our game and try the Caliber Ramp Pro. The Ramp Pro is wide enough, long enough and strong enough (52”, 90”, 1,500lbs) to be used for more than just snowmobiles.

The light weight aluminum construction and compact tri fold design makes it easy to maneuver and store.

A feature which makes the Ramp Pro possibly the industries best are Caliber’s Low Pro Grip Glides which offer non slip boot traction when walking up or down the Ramp Pro. This is the same friction reducing ski guide product that they offer for trailers.

We added the optional Ramp Grips to protect the aluminum rails of our Ramp Pro from damage due to the track studding that some of our Long Term Trial sleds feature.

The Ramp Pro also includes an easy to use self retracting ratchet strap to keep the unit in place while you load or unload. The RETRAX feature keeps you from becoming a YouTube sensation as your buddy captures a video of a loading mishap.

I admired the quality and convenience of the Ramp Pro so much that I decided to order the Trax Grabbers to replace the rigid plastic protectors that I had in my personal trailer.

The much lower profile of the 16” x 20” sections (2 sections per package) work great without being in the way when using your trailer for other purposes.

The Caliber.com site has a helpful configuration tool to help you make a wish list of what quantity of items are needed to outfit your trailer. We have been very pleased with both the quality and function of the Caliber products that we have used.

Greg Gilbert

Greg's first snowmobile experience was in 1968 when his Grandfather purchased a new Ski-doo Nordic 371 package including dog sled as a surprise family gift. “Grampy” thought that the Gilbert's would enjoy the new sport of snowmobiling and he was right. Since that first ride as an 8-year-old, snowmobiling has provided Greg with one of the greatest pleasures of his life. The experiences, excitement, adrenaline, adventures, freedom, memories and friendships have relaxed and rejuvenated him throughout his life. From 1985 – 1996 Greg was an active member of the “Arrowhead Mountain Snowmobile Club” in his hometown of Milton Vermont, holding positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, trail coordinator and membership chairman. Greg has also been involved in all aspects of trail construction and grooming as well as regional and statewide involvement. Greg has ridden over 130,000 miles throughout Vermont, Maine and all regions of Quebec. His riding experiences have been predominantly throughout Quebec since his first introduction in 1984 averaging 4000-5000 Quebec miles over the past 25+ years. Throughout 35 years of Quebec snowmobiling Greg has had positive interactions with many members of various groups and organizations. Greg is often in a unique position of being a comfortable, non-threatening bridge to better mutual understanding and communication of how we can work together to strengthen and protect our sport. Over the years Greg became well known throughout Quebec as “Greg du Vermont”, before joining the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team in 2012 as a Columnist / Test Rider. Greg has written over 100 articles for SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca, attended manufacturers Snow Shoot and Sneak Peek media events beginning in 2012 and is frequently seen at snowmobile events in both the US and Canada. Greg brings a unique personal perspective and style to his articles and has been a positive ambassador of snowmobiling for over 35 years. He is known throughout his hometown as the guy who thinks and talks about winter all summer long.
