Can anyone tell me what's features are new on 2015 that 2014 does not have.The only thing I have read is you can hook up winch easier . Did they fix any of the issues that people are having . Thanks

wont be able to tell until we can get our hands on them. They aren't going to advertise that because that would be admitting that there was a problem. the only known differences are on the SP models. ADC, CR AWD, Dual A-Arms front, Painted plastics, Larger wheels/better tires.

Battery is now located directly below the gas tank on the skid plate/frame, just left of the U-joint for the front differential. Sorry, I don't have a pic.

Thanks, no problem, was just curious. sounds fairly minor...doesn't sound like its going to be much more accessible or better protected.
I admit, the one thing I liked about my old 500 HO EFI, was the battery placement under the seat.
Seems to me, if theyre going to place it low on the vehicle, it should be enclosed, like in a boat battery box.

One of the biggest changes is the mounts for the front bumper. All the pictures on the web, even Polaris's site had the same picture for the 2014 and 2015 showing the lower bumper mounts on the side of the faring. The 2014 lower bumper mounts are on the side of the faring, where the 2015 lower mounts are in the front of the bike just like the center two mounts. Trying to buy a bumper, had my eye on the Bison Hunter, but they are still in R&D for the 2015. So then I looked at the Guru, which they have the 2015 already design, but still on the fence with the looks of the Guru.

Is that maybe do to the 2015 in your pic is an SP? Does the 2015 non SP model still mount on the front?

I have the 2015 570 EPS (not pictured above) but it is the same, mounts are on the front. Pic was just quick to grab.

This is a pic of my 2015 build sheet. Lower holes are wrong in the pic.

The other little changes, other than mentions are, dual heat shields on the right side and heat tape under the gas tank. I think they are in hopes to stop the heat issues that led to claimed boiling gas, melting plastics and seats, and the hot right leg issue. I have the 2015 with about 100 miles on it, and have not dealt with any of these issues yet! Hopefully the fix worked!
