Aurora
850 SE
THE EXPERIENCE OF ANYWHERE TAKEN FURTHER.
This is what happens when we take the limitless experience of an ARGO amphibious vehicle and ratchet it up. Welcome to the SE version of our trusted Aurora XTV.
As is true of its brethren machines, the SE comes standard with everywhere thanks to its muscular LX 850 V-Twin power plant. The Instant Torque Clutch (ITC) converts that brawn to smooth going. But from there, we decked it out with a burly brushguard, rear handrails and special colors, so the reach of everywhere just got expanded. Because even if you’re in a place where there’s not another set of eyes for miles, you still ought to look good.

Instant Torque Clutch (ITC)
The ARGO Instant Torque Drive System (ITDS) dramatically improves low-end torque and increases acceleration. The Instant Torque Clutch (ITC) is designed to provide the optimal gear ratio, shifting seamlessly throughout the full range to utilize the massive torque and power of our engines.
ARGO Progressive Steering (APS)
The ARGO Admiral transmission with ARGO Progressive Steering (APS) is an innovation in braking force application to the transmission steering differential. By adding a spring element between the handlebars and the brake system, we have achieved a progressive dual-rate steering system.
This development, combined with the Admiral transmission, is a technological milestone that gives the ultimate driver experience. Steering events are effortless and confidence-inspiring, offering the smoothest turning available in an ARGO XTV. An ARGO is as fun and comfortable to drive as any UTV.
ARGO Progressive Steering (APS)
APS is an innovation in the area of braking force application to the transmission steering differential. By adding a spring element between the handlebars and the brake system we achieved a progressive, dual-rate steering system. Steering events are now effortless with an increase of 4X wider range of steering motion, offering the smoothest turning available in an ARGO XTV. APS makes it as fun and comfortable to drive as any UTV.
25" Tires on Beadlock Steel Rims
Aurora models have 25” XT117 tires on premium 9" Beadlock steel rims. The chevron treads maximize your power in thick mud and increase your propulsion in whatever waterway you decide to drive in.
Reduced Underhood Temperature
To ensure comfort for the operator and passengers, heat-reflective and absorptive material is integrated into the firewall. A composite exhaust shroud goes one step further and effectively redirects heat while producing a subtle note from the exhaust.
Heavy-Duty Steel Brushguard
When you drive an ARGO Aurora 850 SE, odds are high you're going to drive this beast into spots with high brush, large branches or who knows what coming straight at you, fast. That's why we equipped the Aurora SE with a heavy-duty steel brushguard to protect the front of your machine to keep you plowing through the rough and tough.
Amphibious Body
Yes, this XTV floats. The one-piece amphibious lower body is the signature ARGO design feature. Its smooth, durable underbody floats over potential snags, stumps and outcrops, as well as swamps and water.
