Polaris Inc. has announced it will sell a majority stake in Indian Motorcycle to Carolwood LP, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm

The deal, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, will establish Indian Motorcycle as a standalone company for the first time since Polaris revived the marque in 2011 alongside the Victory Motorcycle brand

Indian Motorcycle generated $478 million in revenue over the past year, accounting for about seven percent of Polaris’ total sales.

Polaris profits dropped 82% compared to last year.

Causes? 

high interest rates pushing people away from financing large purchases, unease over the upcoming US Presidential election, the lack of snow for the vast majority of the East Coast last winter, as well as the general unease folks have over the economy and their employment stability.

The Australian Defence Force has placed an order for a fleet of Polaris DAGOR (Deployable Advanced Ground Off-Road) vehicles


The contract is valued at A$22 million (US$14.6 million) and includes vehicles, mission accessories, technical manuals, spare parts and tool kits, driver and maintainer training and ongoing, in-country support.

Polaris will deliver the DAGOR vehicles to the Australian Defence Force in several variants in support of joint missions worldwide. The four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles will be configured in three different variants – a transport variant for enhanced tactical mobility and greater standoff; an expeditionary reconnaissance variant for continued agility and increased stealth in austere conditions; and a cargo variant with the rear seats replaced with a rear bed extension for increased combat load capacity. Polaris engineered standard mission configuration items, as well as locally engineered and manufactured content, will be integrated onto the vehicles at a Polaris facility in Melbourne.
