2011 Polaris Ranger
RZR XP 900 SxS / UTV Announced
::Continued::
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.

Polaris RZR XP 900 Features an all-new 3-Link
Trailing Arm IRS, which features an impressive
14" of travel
|
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.

XP 900 LE SxS Model

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.
