LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimate Sports, Inc. (Pink Sheets:USPS), a manufacturer and supplier to the recreational vehicle industry, announced today that the company is moving forward as planned on the "Thruster" project. A great deal of positive information has been gleaned from testing the pre-production prototypes and final analysis numbers are being compiled. Final engineering production drawings for the unit are currently in preparation.
Production of the "Thruster" units is expected to begin in the spring of 2010, which will allow for fall sales. USI's "Thruster" system will fit all popular late model snowmobiles produced by Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski Doo and Yamaha. Sales of this new system will be through USI's existing distributors and dealers, 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 patent-pending 'Thruster' snowmobile track assist system will revolutionize the snowmobile industry in track floatation, corner control and overall grip in all snow conditions. Floatation 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. USI is looking forward to selling large numbers of 'Thruster' units next fall, which will dramatically increase gross sales figures for the year."
