Polaris ACE Heaters

Fence lines don't fix themselves when it's fourteen degrees out or otherwise, and the ACE's whole reason for existing is getting into gaps a full-size machine can't touch. A frozen throttle hand at seven in the morning turns a quick property check into a very unhappy one. Bartact's carbon fiber seat pad draws a modest 27 watts and tucks under your factory seat cover in under an hour, which matters on a single-seat machine where every amp you don't spend on comfort is an amp left for lights and a winch. Whether you're running the 325, the 500, the 570, or the 900, the cold doesn't care which engine is under the hood.

All four ACE displacements share the same single-seat layout, so seat heater pads install the same way on the 325, 500, 570, and 900. The one fitment detail that does change machine to machine is coolant hose diameter if you're running Ice Crusher's MaxStat bypass valve, since it ships in 3/4-inch, 7/8-inch, 1-inch, and 1 1/8-inch sizes to match whatever hose is already on your machine. The ownership and management team here has over 100 combined years in the UTV industry, long enough to know which parts come back and which ones don't. We're the fitment experts. Text us at (920) 644-5280 or call (920) 543-5376, and we'll match your ACE before you make any judgment calls on a heater.

What Separates a Real ACE Seat Heater From a Bargain Pad

The parts that fail first on a cheap seat heater aren't the heating element; they're the switch and the wiring. Bartact's kit runs a Hi-Off-Lo round switch on a wiring harness that runs 7.5 feet, long enough to route to a real mounting spot instead of dangling in the way. SuperATV's kit tolerates water splashing into the cab and keeps heating once it dries, which matters on a machine with as little weather sealing as a stock ACE. On the bypass valve side, Ice Crusher machines its MaxStat body from aluminum rather than plastic, and the valve only opens when your cooling system actually needs the flow, so it isn't fighting your engine's own thermostat. From the shop: the extra passenger-side pads in SuperATV's kit go unused on a single-seat ACE, so budget for spares rather than expecting to use all four. Pair either seat heater with an ACE cab enclosure and you keep more of that heat with you instead of losing it to the wind.

Polaris ACE Heater Pricing: From Single Pad to Full Kit

The budget-friendly entry point is Bartact's single carbon fiber seat pad at $59.99, which warms the seat bottom and nothing else in under an hour of install time. The sweet spot for most ACE owners is either Bartact's two-pad kit at $109.99 or the Ice Crusher MaxStat bypass valve at $99.99, depending on whether you want seat warmth or you're boosting an already-installed coolant heater. The premium pick is SuperATV's four-pad Heated Seat Kit at $155.95, backed by a 90-day warranty from a brand that's been building UTV accessories out of Madison, Indiana since 2003, with pads that keep working after water hits them and a switch that toggles between seat-only and seat-and-back heat. The most common warranty is between 3–6 months, but Everything Polaris RZR does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in. You can add the extended warranty right at checkout.

Polaris ACE Heater Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell a coolant cab heater kit for the Polaris ACE?
Not as a packaged kit right now. What we carry is the Ice Crusher MaxStat bypass valve, which boosts output if you've already got a coolant heater core tapped into your ACE's cooling system through a DIY or dealer install. If you're starting from zero, a seat heater kit from Bartact or SuperATV is the direct-fit option that needs no coolant work at all.

Will a seat heater kit drain my ACE's battery?
A single Bartact pad pulls about 27 watts, and even SuperATV's four-pad kit stays well under what a 12V circuit can handle on a stock ACE. Run it alongside heavy lighting or a winch and total draw is worth checking, but seat heaters alone won't strand you.

What's the real difference between the Bartact pad and the SuperATV kit?
Bartact's carbon fiber pad is cut-to-size and covers one area at a time, seat or back, for less money. SuperATV's kit includes four pads and a switch that toggles between seat-only and seat-and-back heat, and it keeps working after water splashes into the cab, which the carbon fiber pad isn't rated for.

Does the same seat heater fit the ACE 325, 500, 570, and 900?
Yes. All four ACE displacements share the same single-seat layout, so the seat heater pads install the same way regardless of engine size. The only fitment question that changes machine to machine is coolant hose diameter if you're ordering the MaxStat bypass valve. Check your hose before choosing a size.

How long does a seat heater pad take to install?
Most riders get a Bartact or SuperATV pad installed in under an hour. The pads sit between your seat cushion and the cover, wire into a switched circuit, and don't require drilling into the ACE's dash or body panels.
