LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimate Sports, Inc. (Pink Sheets:USPS), a manufacturer and supplier to the recreational vehicle industry, announced today that the firm has been testing and perfecting a new track assist unit for three years now and has finally reached its goal.
The USI track assist system will fit all popular late model snowmobiles produced by Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski Doo and Yamaha. Scheduled shipping of this new system is expected to begin in the spring of 2010. Sales of this new system will be through USI's existing distributors, in excess of 1,000 companies, both domestically and internationally. Existing OEMs who currently purchase USI's product line, such as Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski Doo and Yamaha, will be given an exclusive opportunity for pre-launch inspection.
Kevin Metheny, President of Ultimate Sports, states, "The all new USI snowmobile track assist system will revolutionize the snowmobile industry in track flotation, corner control and overall grip in all snow conditions. Flotation take off will be increased by 15% to 35%; corner control by 10% to 25%. Overall grip increase will be between 20% and 40%, depending upon the snowmobile and application it is used on.
"According to the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, over $28 billion in economic activity occurred in North America related to snowmobiling in the 2008-2009 season. In addition, 1,652,642 snowmobiles were registered in the United States in 2009; up 1% over 2008. These facts prove that the snowmobile industry is a profitable one, and a great place for USI to excel. Due to patent application restrictions, we are unable to provide any additional information at this time, other than the fact that snowmobilers of all classes will love this new track system."
