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.









Best we can tell so far, here are the primary differences between the current 2011 RZR S 800 and the new 2011 RZR XP 900. Feel free to add to the list if we missed something. In comparison to the Polaris RZR S, the new RZR XP 900 has:

Engine

- 115cc Larger Displacement
- 33 more HP
- 4 Valves Per Cylinder
- 750 Watt Alternator
- Integrated Oil Cooler
- High Capacity Air Intake System
- Dual Throttle Bodies

Suspension









- Race Inspired 3-link trailing arm IRS rear suspension
- 1.5" more front suspension travel
- 2" more rear suspension travel
- 4.4" longer wheelbase

Drivetrain[/u]
- New Compact, Lightweight, HD Transmission
- Eliminated all 90 degree angles in the drivetrain
- Upgraded front differential with billet cage

Dimensions/Capacities[/u]
- 190lbs heavier
- 1" longer bed box
- 4" narrower bed box
- 3.5" deeper bed box
- 2,734 cu. in. bigger bed box overall
- no tow hitch or tow rating
- 4.4" Longer Overall
- 3.5" Wider Overall
- 2.5" Taller Overall

Miscellaneous[/u]

These two clips will make up your mind Fool. The test with the commander is with the 800 s the new 900 XP would really kick its donkey.

RZR XP is lighter, more HP, more ground clearance, better braking, longer wheel travel, lower center of gravity, wider, ...  As a pure sport machine it's the better of the two.  However, no trailer hitch, limited bed storage, limited interior storage, lower seating,...  Not going to make a very good work horse..?

Polaris pulled up with a Semi with 5 of them in the trailer.  Supposedly the only thing not stock about them are the paddle tires.

Some guy with a 100hp turbo charged RZR'S said that they pulled away from him in the whoops.  Another guy in a commander said that the RZR XP pulled to about 50 yds while racing up the same hill...

First ones are supposed to hit dealers on the west coast 1st week of Feb...  East coast a couple of months later.

Depending on how this things hold up you might be seeing a 2009 RZR with +6 Rancho suspension up for sale..? Wink
