Highlights: To get you started, let’s go over some of the most important features of this new RZR PRO XP 4: • NEW one-piece frame that is no longer bolted together. From the driver’s seat, it feels more rigid. • More power – same ProStar twin cylinder turbo engine layout, but it has 181 horsepower now. Engine internals have been beefed up to handle the extra power. • Better clutching – all-new primary clutch ditches the problem-child bearings that can wear out. We have tested this new PRO XP clutch over 1000 miles now and it is superior in every way compared to past generations. Oh yeah, we are still on the original belt, too. • The best Polaris drivetrain – the massive Turbo S front differential is present on the PRO XP lineup. No more rattles are heard from the carrier bearing in the middle of this 4-seater (yes!!) either. Upgraded axles and driveline components are found at all 4 corners. • More refined – there has never been a RZR this refined. It doesn’t squeak. The seat sliders work every time. And, the bolts really do stay tight.

• Interior – it’s the most automotive style interior in the industry with great plastics, much better layout than before with plenty of room for accessory switches, and more. Plenty of room for all 4 passengers. Polaris still has some work to do on quality, though (more on that later…) • Full doors for front and rear passengers – finally! • Great visibility out the front and sides for all passengers, especially the driver. • Maintenance is easier than ever with a complete cargo bed tray that removes with 4 bolts. The CVT belt cover retains the screws when you take it off, too. Last but not least, the plastic covers behind the rear seats come off for easy access to the front of the engine. • PRO XP 4 has an ingenious fold flat seating system in the rear that allows you to have an incredible amount of storage capacity. If you want an adventure machine, this is a phenomenal option! • Full under belly skid plates are found from the factory. • In a nutshell… the RZR PRO XP has a bit of everything mixed in – a bit of YXZ1000R visibility and handling meet Maverick X3 seating position meets almost Talon refinement. Could this make the RZR PRO the best UTV out there?
