MEDINA, Minn. (April 8, 2015) – Roseau, Minnesota, Mayor Jeff Pelowski has declared April 8 – 4/08 – as “Polaris RMK Day” in Roseau as the day’s date reflects the dry weight – only 408 pounds – of the new 2016 Polaris 800 PRO-RMK® 155 snowmobile.
This all-new lightweight Deep Snow model is built at the Polaris manufacturing facility in Roseau on the new, patented, raised AXYS® RMK Chassis.

“I hereby declare April 4, 2015 – referred to in this case as 4/08 – as ‘Polaris RMK Day’ in the City of Roseau. We salute Polaris for its legendary engineering excellence, and look forward to seeing what products Polaris develops next as the global leader in powersports.”
