the all new RZR® XP Turbo S. Bigger, tougher,
the 72-inch RZR XP Turbo S is an off-road monster,
completely redesigned and reengineered from top

“We set out to create the most capable and
aggressive side-by-side in the industry, and
without a doubt, we accomplished that with RZR
XP Turbo S,” said Chris Musso, president of
Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris. “This machine raises
the bar for the industry. The sheer size of
the machine and its significant performance
upgrades will have even the most passive drivers
attacking terrain with confidence.”

RZR XP Turbo S - 32" Tires

The Industry’s Toughest Machine
Polaris pushed the limits of engineering when
designing the RZR XP Turbo S. From a reinforced
chassis to bigger, stronger axels, Polaris incorporated
significant performance upgrades and strengthened
nearly every component of the machine. The all-new
isolated front drive features three times higher
impact strength, while the ROPS, control and
trailing arms, and radius rods help handle the
extreme force produced by this beast of a machine.
These efforts helped make it possible to engineer
the industry’s first-ever side-by-side vehicle
to come stock with 32-inch tires. Delivering
an industry-best 16 inches of ground clearance,
the massive 32-inch tires are also 249 percent
more resistant to punctures than the competition.
The combination of a flickable wheelbase and
massive tires produces a machine that is extremely
agile, yet capable of smashing though the toughest
terrain with the ease of a trophy-truck.
The Industry’s Most Capable Suspension
The new machine’s toughness is complemented
by its industry-best suspension. An intimidating
72-inch broad-shouldered stance opened new possibilities
for smart and usable travel upgrades. The intelligent,
industry-leading DYNAMIX Active Suspension system
optimizes every inch of the vehicle’s 19-inch
or 21-inch traditional wheel travel for both
low-speed comfort and high-speed performance.
Plus, the impressive design offers an industry-leading
25-inches of Useable Travel before bottoming
out on the skid plate. Needless to say, drivers
will enjoy putting all 168 horses to use, ripping
through terrain that would tear up any other
machine.
Performance Upgrades
The RZR XP Turbo S was designed with extreme
performance capabilities in mind. With 25 percent
more assist in power steering, the RZR XP Turbo
S keeps the driver focused on effortlessly maneuvering
through the terrain, not on forcing the wheel.
Recalibrated aggressive throttle mapping gives
the driver phenomenal throttle control and the
redesigned clutch box allows for better air
flow and decreased belt temperatures.
The Industry’s Most Evolved Cockpit
The machine also features the industry’s most-evolved
cockpit and an improved driving position, enabling
drivers to comfortably command it through any
obstacle desired. The cockpit boasts a four-point
harness, premium flat-bottom SPARCO® steering
wheel, and a new instrument cluster with seven-inch
RIDE COMMAND™ glove-touch display on the center
dash. Additionaly, the machine is cut with a
new predatory look: low profile ROPS, aluminum
roof and premium panels featuring LED lighting
packages that comes standard to let your competitors
know how far they are falling behind.
Off-road addicts will welcome the challenge
to drive harder, faster and farther than ever
before. Available in Indy Red and Polaris Blue,
this 168-horsepower beast of a machine will
be available in dealerships as early as mid-March,
and despite all of the enormous upgrades, checks
in at a base price of $27,499 US and $33,599
CA.
