\n2017 Polaris RZR XP 1000 Gold Metallic Limited Edition on the Rubicon Trail<\/h4>\n
By Jon Crowley, UTVGuide.net<\/a><\/p>\n One of the hidden gems in the 2017 Polaris Model Year release (see Polaris 2017 Model Year Press Event<\/a>) is a Limited Edition RZR XP 1000. When most people are focused on how much horsepower and suspension travel are on the turbo machines, I zeroed in on the Gold Matte Metallic LE Signature RZR XP 1000<\/a>.<\/p>\n As an avid rock crawler, I have always lobbied for a lower gear ratio in low range and it appeared to me that Polaris not only listened, but crafted a special edition just for me. I call it the #CrowleyEdition!<\/p>\n The 2017 Gold Matte Metallic LE Signature RZR XP 1000 is one of three special edition RZR XP 1000’s for 2017 and has “added capability to dominate trail and rocks.” Well that sounds great, but what is different?<\/p>\n #CrowleyEdition Features:<\/b><\/p>\n I got my name on the list for a demo unit and it showed up at Placerville Polaris in late September. First thing I did after getting it home was check out low range. It definitely had more grunt and control at slower I had to check it out in the rocks so a few days later we headed to the Rubicon Trail to check it out in the rocks. Other than the spare tire carrier (Polaris part #2879464) the RZR was completely stock.<\/p>\n![\"Gold](\"https:\/\/utvguide.net\/images\/Polaris-RZR-XP1000-RockCrawler-1.jpg\")

\nat low speeds to conquer the most challenging obstacles. An all-new low
\nspeed throttle map gives you more torque, control, and responsiveness at
\nlow speeds when you need it most. Reverse has also been strengthened
\njust like the High Lifter Edition.<\/li>\n
\nwithout guessing which gear you landed with the all-new gated shifter
\nfeatured only on this limited edition.<\/li>\n
\nshafts pair with the all-new transmission gearing for a tougher, rugged
\ndriveline for all day riding on the trail or in the rocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
