The limited-production 2013 Polaris RZR XP 900 H.O. Jagged X Edition arrived with one of the most extensive collections of factory-installed performance and comfort upgrades Polaris had offered on a RZR.
Polaris combined a 94-horsepower high-output engine with the longer RZR XP 4 chassis, premium suspension, PRP seats, full doors, beadlock wheels and protected rear storage. The result was a two-seat sport UTV built for enthusiasts who wanted a highly equipped desert machine without assembling it one accessory at a time.

A Factory-Built Jagged X Special Edition
The Jagged X Edition was inspired by Polaris’ relationship with the Jagged X desert-racing team. Jagged X had raced a nearly stock RZR XP 4 900 in the Best in the Desert series, earning five podium finishes in six races and demonstrating the rough-terrain potential of the longer chassis.
Instead of installing rear seats, Polaris used the 107.4-inch-wheelbase platform to create a long-wheelbase two-seater with additional cockpit room and cargo storage. Its wheelbase was 26 inches longer than that of the standard two-seat Polaris RZR XP 900.
The extra length helped the vehicle bridge bumps and whoops more effectively while adding stability at desert speeds. This distinctive model also became an important final chapter in the original XP 900 platform before the RZR XP 1000 arrived for 2014. Learn more in our complete history of the Polaris RZR.
Polaris RZR XP 900 H.O. Jagged X Edition
94-Horsepower ProStar 900 H.O. Engine
The standard RZR XP 900 produced an advertised 88 horsepower. For the Jagged X Edition, Polaris developed the first high-output version of its 875cc ProStar 900 twin-cylinder engine, raising advertised output to 94 horsepower.
The high-output package included:
- Revised intake and exhaust camshaft profiles
- Stiffer valve springs
- Updated engine calibration
- Revised clutch weights
- Factory-installed SLP stainless-steel exhaust
Polaris claimed the long-wheelbase Jagged X Edition could accelerate from zero to 60 mph as quickly as the lighter standard XP 900 and approximately 17 percent quicker than the four-seat RZR XP 4 900.
Factory-Installed SLP Exhaust
A stainless-steel SLP exhaust silencer with dual outlets was included as standard equipment. In addition to complementing the engine changes, the system increased exhaust flow and gave the Jagged X Edition a more aggressive sound than the standard XP 900.
Walker Evans Suspension
The Jagged X Edition used Walker Evans compression-adjustable reservoir shocks at all four corners. The front dual A-arm suspension provided 13.5 inches of travel through 2-inch-body shocks.
At the rear, the XP platform’s three-link trailing-arm suspension was paired with larger 2.5-inch-body Walker Evans shocks and 14 inches of travel. The additional oil volume helped the shocks manage heat during extended runs through desert chop and whoops.
Voodoo Blue springs visually tied the suspension into the machine’s blue, black and white Jagged X graphics.
PRP Seats and Additional Cockpit Room
Factory-installed PRP seats were one of the most noticeable upgrades inside the cab. The deeply bolstered seats were designed to provide greater lateral support than the standard XP 900 seats and were ready to accept five-point harnesses.
The driver’s seat offered more than three inches of adjustment. The long-wheelbase cab also provided additional legroom, helping make the Jagged X Edition more comfortable for taller drivers and long days in the dunes or desert.
Electronic Power Steering was standard. Its variable assistance reduced steering effort at lower speeds while helping limit driver fatigue during longer rides.
Removable Weather-Sealed Storage Boxes
Rather than filling the extended chassis with rear seats, Polaris installed two removable cargo boxes behind the occupants. Each weather-sealed box provided approximately 2.5 cubic feet of protected storage and included a lockable lid.
The boxes provided useful space for tools, spare parts, recovery equipment, clothing and other supplies that riders wanted to keep protected from dust and weather. Their removable design also made it easier to configure the rear cargo area for different trips.
Factory Doors and Custom Cab Frame
Full factory-installed doors were another uncommon standard feature for a 2013 sport UTV. The lightweight aluminum door panels used steel frames, hinges and latches, along with rubber-mounted vibration dampeners.
A color-matched custom cab frame extended around the rear cargo area and helped give the Jagged X Edition its distinctive profile. The Voodoo Blue frame, suspension springs and valve cover coordinated with the Jagged X-inspired graphics.
Walker Evans Beadlock Wheels and Maxxis Bighorn Tires
Polaris equipped the Jagged X Edition with 26-inch Maxxis Bighorn tires mounted on black powder-coated aluminum Walker Evans Racing beadlock wheels. Color-matched beadlock rings continued the blue accent theme used throughout the vehicle.
The beadlock design mechanically secured the outer tire bead, allowing riders to use reduced tire pressures for additional traction while lowering the risk of the bead separating from the wheel.

Why the Jagged X Edition Was Significant
The RZR XP 900 H.O. Jagged X Edition was more than a graphics package. Its high-output engine, revised clutching, SLP exhaust, premium shocks, long wheelbase and extensive factory equipment created a materially different version of the XP 900.
It also previewed a direction Polaris would continue to pursue: specialized RZR models equipped at the factory for a particular style of riding. Later premium and terrain-specific RZRs would take that concept considerably further, but the Jagged X Edition was an early example of a highly equipped, factory-built sport UTV with direct ties to off-road racing.
