Marathon and Superglide pair up for safety and convenience
Marathon DecksIn keeping with its philosophy of continuous improvement, Marathon Truck Decks has added another safety and convenience feature to its #1 selling Snowmobile and ATV truck decks: Marathon’s patented and industry leading telescopic ramp now comes with traction. When asked to explain, spokesperson Vaughn Peters said Marathon re-engineered their proprietary telescopic ramp to accept “Super-Glides,” a sled/ATV glide that replaces the traditional puck-board ski runner on all Marathon 10’ and 12’ telescopic ramps. Super-Glides not only enable your snowmobile skis to track straight when loading, they also give traction for your feet when walking up and down your ramp. No more slipping! This safety addition also enables you to load your ATV without reversing the ramp—a definite bonus for all you quad riders. After six months of rigorous testing Marathon is proud to offer this enhancement to its truck decks—all at no extra cost to dealer or consumer. “Safety knows no cost,” said Peters. “At Marathon we strive to offer the best and safest product at a value-leading price point.” Find out more at <www.marathondecks.com>

SuperTrapp Launches MudSlinger and IDSX for Polaris 800 Ranger RZR
SuperTrapp Industries launches the MudSlinger now available for the Polaris 800 Ranger RZR. The MudSlinger is equipped with a removable USFS-approved spark arrestor and has an aggressive tone, yet is forestry legal. At idle, the MudSlinger measures at 89 dB and 93 dB at 3000 RPM (per SAE-J1287 as tested on a Polaris 800 Ranger RZR). Stock measures at 87 dB at idle, 93 dB at 3000 RPM and 103 dB at wide open throttle. MudSlinger rips with performance, but tests with favorable sound measurements, ensuring riding areas to stay open.

MudslingerMudSlinger is a rugged exhaust with a polished stainless steel outer body and an aluminum end cap, that not only looks cool, but will hold up to the abuse that aggressive ATV riders can dish out. The mechanical core offers a dramatic increase in torque and throttle response. It utilizes “Pillow Pack” packing for the ultimate in durability along with superior silencing. An optional snorkel kit is
also available for deep water fording.

Also available for the Polaris 800 Ranger RZR is SuperTrapp’s IDSX , a durable, lightweight, all stainless steel constructed exhaust designed to maximize a quad’s torque while lowering sound levels. While ideal for applications such as farming, hunting and all-terrain riding, the SuperTrapp adjustable disc diffuser system allows the rider to tune the IDSX for more horsepower and sound quality at different points on the powerband by adding or subtracting discs. The internal disc design keeps mud from clogging the discs.
