“We are excited to be entering the WPSA series
with the Outlaw 450 MXR,” said Justin Burke, ATV
marketing specialist for Polaris. “Coupling our
powerful 450 MX bike with some of the best quad
riders around is a win for Polaris and the Bomb

will have racers from their Bomb Squad race team
racing the Outlaw 450 MXR. Their first race

Polaris quads are in stock form. The power and
handling of the Outlaw is definitely competitive
enough to get us on the podium.”

449cc KTM engine, 5-speed transmission including
reverse, an industry-exclusive, hydraulic clutch
