Bombardier Launches the New Rally 200 ATV VALCOURT, QUEBEC-- FEBRUARY 19, 2002 - 16:10 EST This New Quad Expands Bombardier's ATV Lineup and Serves Specific Market Needs Bombardier Recreational Products is becoming a player in the entry-level segment by introducing the Rally(TM) 200. The Rally 200 joins the utility-targeted Traxter(R) ATV, the DS650(TM) ATV sport models, the sport-utility Quest(TM) and the youth-oriented ATVs in the growing lineup of Bombardier(R) ATVs. The Bombardier Rally 200 is a full-size, value-priced Bombardier ATV destined to become the ultimate entry-level runabout. This ATV combines some of the best elements of the existing Bombardier models: the reliability of the hard-working Traxter and the fun of the DS650 for riding around the trails. In fact, it really offers the best of both worlds at an incredible price point to appeal to new buyers. The lightweight Rally 200 offers many industry-leading features for its class, such as a unique Surrounding Spar Technology (SST(TM)) frame with an ultra-narrow underside to minimize contact in rough terrain. The Rally 200 is also the only ATV in its class with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to give its great get-on and go capability and smooth auto-transferability. Exclusive Bombardier benefits, including front and back storage compartments with built-in bins, and floorboards, round out the convenience, durability and fresh appeal of this tough four-stroke. "The Rally 200 is ideal for newcomers to the ATV experience; it is the perfect runabout that combines fun, reliability and the ability to do light-duty chores like no other in its segment," noted Pierre Arsenault, Vice President, Marketing, Snowmobiles, Watercraft and ATVs. Bombardier Recreational Products designs, develops, builds, distributes and markets Ski-Doo(R) and Lynx(R) snowmobiles, snowgrooming equipment and multi-purpose tracked vehicles, Bombardier(R) all-terrain vehicles, Sea-Doo(R) watercraft and sport boats, Bombardier Fish Hawk(TM) fishing boats as well as the Evinrude(R) and Johnson(R) outboard marine engines and the Ficht Ram Injection(R) technology. Snowmobiles, ATVs, watercraft and some sport boats are powered by Rotax(R) engines that are designed and built by Bombardier-Rotax GmbH, which also builds motors for motorcycles, scooters, karts and aircraft. Bombardier Inc., a diversified manufacturing and service company, is a world leading manufacturer of business jets, regional aircraft, rail transportation equipment and motorized recreational products. It is also a provider of financial services and asset management. The Corporation employs 79,000 people in 24 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and its revenues for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2001 totalled $16.1 billion CDN.
