The American V-twin manufacturer will be spun off into its own company before being sold to a private equity group, Carolwood LP.
According to Polaris CEO Mike Speetzen, the deal is designed to benefit both companies, as it will
"enable each business to move faster, deliver industry-leading innovation, and lean further into our respective market strengths."
