Hot Cams Racing Camshaft Stage 1 for Polaris ATV/UTV – Improved Throttle Response and Power

WE RACE ON THE TRACK, NOT THE DYNO! Most camshaft designs are developed only on a dyno. Good camshaft designs not only increase power, they also improve throttle response. However, more power and better throttle response is a difficult design problem. Hotcams’ ITR technology solved this dilemma through highly engineered opening ramps not found on other cams. Using ITR technology, the critical ramp area is designed to give your engine a cleaner intake charge and a more efficient combustion cycle, making your engine more responsive at all throttle openings and giving the rider better feel and control of the engine! You will notice the difference!

The Hot Cams Part Number 5246-1 Racing Camshaft Stage 1 is engineered to enhance the performance of your Polaris ATV or UTV. Designed specifically for models including the Polaris Scrambler 500 and Polaris Sportsman Touring 500 HO from 2000 to 2013, this camshaft delivers a significant boost in throttle response and overall engine responsiveness. Using advanced ITR technology, Hot Cams has developed a camshaft that not only increases horsepower but also promotes a cleaner intake charge and more efficient combustion cycle, resulting in quicker throttle response and better control for the rider. This product is ideal for racing enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-performance upgrades to maximize their vehicle’s potential on the track or trail.

Constructed without the need for a core, the Hot Cams Racing Camshaft is designed to be compatible with most stock valve springs and rockers, simplifying installation while maintaining factory reliability. The package includes adjustable cam sprockets on some models, allowing fine-tuning of timing for optimal performance. Its design emphasizes improved throttle response through precisely engineered opening ramps, which help the engine respond more swiftly at all throttle levels. This camshaft is a race-only component and is not legal for use on pollution-controlled vehicles in California, although a waiver is available for race use only.

Whether you're looking to increase power, improve throttle feel, or gain a competitive edge, the Hot Cams Racing Camshaft Stage 1 is a reliable upgrade for your Polaris ATV or UTV. It provides a noticeable difference in engine responsiveness and overall performance, making it a popular choice among racers and off-road enthusiasts who demand high-quality engine components built to perform under demanding conditions.
