Polaris RZR XP 900
2011 Polaris RZR XP 900
Polaris RZR 900 XP Information:
RANGER RZR XP 900 Offers Razor Sharp Xtreme Performance
To ring in the New Year, the RANGER RZR family welcomes a whole new class
of Side x Side, introducing the RANGER RZR XP 900!
The RANGER RZR has the only family of Sport Side x Sides with Razor Sharp
Performance for all types of recreation. It all started in 2008 when Polaris
introduced the only trail-capable Side x Side, the RANGER RZR 800. In 2009,
came the only true-sport Side x Side, the RANGER RZR S 800. With the
introduction of the RANGER RZR 4 800 in 2010, Polaris introduced the world’s
only four-seat sport Side-by-Side. For 2011, the family adds the RANGER RZR
XP 900, a whole new class of Side x Side that continues to offer the
ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility and takes it to the
extreme.
Built for razor-sharp, Xtreme performance, the RANGER RZR XP 900 has a
new 88 horsepower, 900 Twin, Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engine, a new
3-Link Trailing Arm Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with 13-inches of
ground clearance and 14-inches of travel, and is light weight with a low
center of gravity for unmatched cornering. These features make the RANGER
RZR XP 900 the only extreme performance Side x Side on the market.
“The RANGER RZR family delivers the ultimate combination of power,
suspension and agility,” said Matt Homan, vice president and general manager
of Polaris’ Off-Road Vehicles Division. “When we set out to design the
RANGER RZR XP 900, we wanted to create a ground-breaking, high performance
vehicle to complement our current, best-selling RANGER RZR line. The result
is simply incredible.”
The ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility starts with
power. At the heart of the RANGER RZR XP 900 is the all-new, 88 horsepower
ProStar™ 900 Twin EFI engine that was built specifically for an
extreme-performance Side x Side. The engine features Dual OverHead Cams (DOHC),
four big valves per cylinder and a 180-degree crankshaft for balanced
performance and fast throttle response for groundbreaking acceleration. The
combination of 88 horsepower with the vehicle’s light weight provides
acceleration that is 29-percent quicker than the next quickest Side x Side
on the market.
To complement the potent power plant, the RANGER RZR XP 900 features an
all-new, lightweight, compact and durable transmission, also designed
specifically for extreme Side x Side performance. Efficiency has been
maximized by eliminating all right angle drives to the rear axle resulting
in less friction and more power delivered directly to the rear wheels. And,
the simple and efficient design also provides a very quiet transmission.
In order to handle the massive power of the new engine and keep the ride
smooth, Polaris designed the all-new, 3-Link Trailing Arm IRS. The 3-link
design consists of two extra-long radius rods and a far forward-connecting
trailing arm resulting in a strong, yet lightweight system. The RANGER RZR
XP 900 also is outfitted with adjustable, premium 2-inch body Fox Podium X
2.0 shocks. Its monstrous 14-inches of terrain-absorbing rear travel and
13.5-inches of front travel soak up the rough stuff and deliver a smooth,
precise ride, while its astounding 13-inches of ground clearance gives the
machine the ability to tackle any obstacle in its way.
For razor-sharp agility, RANGER RZR XP 900 has no equal. Even with its
incredible ground clearance, the unit still features a low center of gravity
for the ultimate ride over rough terrain. The patented,
engine-behind-the-seat design and rear weight bias deliver extreme,
razor-sharp agility and performance, while the race-inspired rear suspension
maximizes traction and power in the corners. To provide precise cornering,
the suspension’s radius rods extend deep into the wheel hubs and feature an
uneven link geometry that optimizes camber. Tires lean into the corner
through the suspension travel, and plant more tire surface on the ground for
maximum control. The trailing arms also minimize wheel scrub for superior
straight-away power to help the driver stay true to line.
A premium vehicle needs premium features, and the RANGER RZR XP 900 has
many. The machine features the industry’s first factory LED headlights that
shine a high-intensity beam to turn night into day and throw light forward
beyond conventional halogens. For ultimate stopping power, the RANGER RZR XP
900 has performance brake calipers and large diameter, ventilated rotors on
all four wheels. To complement the new suspension, the RANGER RZR XP 900 is
outfitted with completely adjustable Fox Podium X 2.0 shocks on all four
wheels. The Fox Podium X 2.0 shocks have a 2-inch body with piggyback
reservoirs that provide adjustable pre-load and compression dampening. For
high performance riding, ITP 900 XCT tires provide a unique, directional lug
pattern for exceptional cornering and straight-line traction capabilities.
To maximize cooling capacity, the unit features a massive grill opening and
a front air dam for improved air flow. For safety, the RANGER RZR XP 900 has
a certified roll-over protective structure (ROPS).
The RANGER RZR XP 900 is offered in Indy Red and a White Lightening
limited edition model, and will be available at Polaris dealerships in
January. More than 70 PURE Polaris accessories, including cargo boxes,
winches and protection also will be available at launch.

extreme performance. For quick suspension adjustments, the Fox 2.0 shocks
feature new, convenient compression adjustment knobs for tool-less tuning.
To reduce driveline noise, the unit has a new, rubber isolated prop shaft.

Sport UTV Comparison:
There is no doubt that the RZR XP has raised the bar for the
sport UTV market segment. Horsepower coupled with an advanced suspension is
sure to be a big hit in the dunes and desert. After you take a look at a few
key components of the RZR XP and compare them to other sport UTVs, you will
see there are some key advantages.
Suspension Design
When
it comes to wheel travel, the RZR XP has 13.5 inches in the front and 14
inches in the rear. The only other UTV that even comes close is the Polaris
RZR S. The Can-Am Commander and Arctic Cat Prowler have 10", and the Rhino
and Teryx have less than 8".
Add to amount of wheel travel that the RZR XP comes with Fox
Podium X 2.0 shocks that have a 2-inch body with piggyback reservoirs. These
Fox shocks also provide adjustable pre-load and compression dampening.
Even more exciting than the amount of wheel travel is the
advanced, 3-Link Trailing Arm IRS. The two extra-long radius rods connect
far-forward under the seats for superior handling in rough terrain,
especially at high speeds.
Wheelbase
When
you look at performance through rough terrain, short-wheelbase UTV have a
hard time going as fast as their engine will push them. This is one of the
reasons that the RZR 4 does so much better right out of the box. But when we
look at the Can-Am Commander, Kawasaki Teryx, Yamaha Rhino and Arctic Cat
Prowler, they all have a wheelbase between 75" - 76".
The new RZR XP has a wheelbase of 81.4". That extra 4+
inches will make a big difference when you are trying to fly through the
whoops at 60 mph.
What makes the long wheel base on the RZR XP even more
impressive is the RZR XP has an overall vehicle length that is actually 7" -
10" shorter other sport UTVs. Let me make sure you got that - longer
wheelbase AND shorter overall.
Horsepower
Although the RZR XP has less cc's than the Can-Am Commander
(875cc vs. 976cc), the advertised horsepower of the RZR XP is 88 and the
Commander is 85. Nearly identical, but now let's take a look at horsepower
to weight ratio. The RZR XP has a dry weight of 1,190 lbs. and the
Commander sits at 1,287 lbs. So when you divide that out, the RZR XP
has 13.5 lbs./horsepower and the Commander has 15.1 lbs./horsepower.
When you are looking at a vehicle that puts out less than 100 HP, horsepower
to weight ratio is very important.
All of the other sport UTVs don't even come close in stock
form.
Center of Gravity
Following along with all of its RZR cousins, the Polaris has
placed the engine in the RZR XP behind the seats. This patented engine
placement allows for driver and passenger to sit much lower in the chassis
which lowers the center of gravity. A lower center of gravity allows
the RZR XP to act more like sports car than a truck.
Width
It
is hard to compare the width of the RZR XP to anything other than the RZR S
since none of the other manufacturer's UTVs come with long travel
suspension. More width adds to stability when cornering or while rock
crawling.
The RZR XP is 64" wide. That is 4" wider than the RZR
S and 9+ inches wider than a Yamaha Rhino.
The downside to the extra width of the RZR XP is its ability
to get onto some of the narrow forest service trails. It is pretty
obvious that Polaris intends to market the 50" RZR for that and focus on the
open desert and dunes for the RZR XP.
