“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.”
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.
Additionally, 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.
