2012 Polaris  RZR XP 4 900 SxS / UTV Limited Edition

2012 Polaris RZR XP 4 900 SxS / UTV Test Drive Review
::Continued::

The Limited Edition RZR XP 4 900 comes many upgraded features including the Maxxis Bighorn tire that are a big improvement over the standard tires that come on the standard RZR XP 4 900. The tires were especially noticeable in the lava rocks where we were hitting rock head on and they took every bit of the abuse ,and the Bighorn tires made it easy to get over just about anything. One thing we did notice, however, was the rear trailing arm paint chips quite easily, but it is expected considering the type of terrain that we encountered on our drive.

The Maxxis Bighorn Tires work great on the RZR, and they are another good reason to upgrade to the LE model, but don't expect the white paint on the trailing arms to last long because after one day of driving, we had already lost a bunch of paint

We had the opportunity to sit in the back seat as a passenger as well and were quite impressed with the overall comfort. The rear passenger seats do offer less leg room than up front, but I still had room for my legs to wrap around the back of the front seat, which was still fairly comfortable on the ride, but of course, I wish that I had some extra leg room.

The rear passenger sit higher in the RZR XP 4 900, which provides improved visibility for those sitting behind someone up front

One nice thing about the rear seats is that they sit higher than up front and are shifted toward the center, which provided for improved visibility for the passengers rear passengers to look over and around the front passenger helmets. Also, the rear hand rail provided a secure hand hold, and I really liked the addition of two cup holders along with the 12 volt plug in/lighter for electronic devices such as cell phones and MP3 players.

The Polaris RZR XP 4 900 rear seated passengers have a full length safety bar to hold onto during their ride & there is also 2 cup holders along with a 12 volt outlet

After an entire day of riding and testing, the 2012 Polaris RZR XP 4 900 definitely met and exceeded our expectations. It is a very well-rounded, high-performance Side-by-Side that is perfect for taking out your friends and family for an off-road drive because it is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face that has the pleasure of riding or driving one.
