Why the Polaris NorthStar Is the Cab We Put Customers In

Oct 1, 2026

The Polaris NorthStar is a factory-enclosed cab, not a roof and doors bolted on later. Heat, air conditioning, defrost, sealed glass, and power windows come as one system, so it stays warm in a Sault winter and cool at idle in July without letting dust or snow in. It still works like a Ranger — box, tow, and winch — and on Ultimate trims you get RIDE COMMAND, a rear camera, and JBL audio. Can-Am’s cabbed Defender is a real competitor; NorthStar wins for most of our customers on seal, idle cooling, and a truck-like interior. Sit in one at Rivercity Motorsports with the heat on and you will feel the difference.

Why an HVAC Cab Makes Sense in Northern Ontario

Oct 1, 2026

An HVAC cabbed side-by-side is worth considering in Northern Ontario because it turns a three-season machine into a year-round tool. Factory heat, A/C, and defrost keep you working in winter, rain, dust, and summer heat instead of parking the unit. Heat-only cabs are not the same as full HVAC — if you use the machine in both snow and hot weather, buy the climate-controlled cab. Factory setups also beat aftermarket kits for sealing, comfort, and fewer add-on headaches. Best fit: property work, plowing, hunting, camp access, and families who want a CREW machine people will actually ride in. Rivercity Motorsports & Marine can help match heat-only vs. full HVAC and three-seat vs. CREW.
