A cautionary story about the new polaris rzr xp pro

That’s a tough break man. Good luck getting her right again.

[@brianoster3946]

Awesome machine. Rolled mine also, plastic mounts snapped like tooth pics. Exoskeleton going on this weekend.

[@brettparson1]

I had the same thing happen with my RS1. My wife put it on it's side on memorial day 2019. I was told the frame was on back order and they (polaris dealer I purchased from) submitted a VDO (vehicle down order) a few days later I heard back from the dealership, there are no frames available they are on backorder, but we expect to have 1 for you by September 25 2019. Not sure when it actually came in but I picked my machine up October 25th. It's out of your hands now, all you can do is wait. It sucks but it is what it is. If they are replacing the roll cage which they should. You might consider upgrading it since they are paying to replace it anyway. My .02 pennies. Hope it all works out! Sucks not knowing when it will be ready for action again. Good luck!

[@joeschultz304]

Hope everything works out for you man. Sucks when shitty things happen to the honest good folks while the rich get ten richer. I as well as others really appreciate this review.

[@ralphnunley3039]

Glad I saw this, thank you for posting!! I was just about to pull the trigger on this machine. Now, I’m gonna wait a year or two for Polaris to come clean, or, I might pull the trigger on that sweet new KRX . Either way, I’m not buying a first year machine...good luck man!

[@trevorbraden5448]

I'm grabbing the KRX in a couple weeks...... haven't seen any bad complaints on that machine...... a few people not picking some things but overall great reviews on that one

[@matthewlundrideordie8151]

THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE VIDEO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS AND RESPONSES. was looking at this machine , the talon and X3. Since have found out that X3 guys complain about bending the suspension and how u need aftermarket stuff. Now this with the XP. Still doing research on all. Guess ill stick with my 2016 900S a lil longer. Solid overall machine. Honestly just wanted a better suspension.......

[@bluecollarfamilyfox2380]

Good video man. Thanks for the insight 👍

Good information, To the points and easy..I almost purchased this exact machine, in the end went with the Honda Talon....Thanks for the look from an owner's view.

[@offroadfunz6094]

[@warrenzigmont7717]

Have you tried tuning the clutch to make the bottom end feel better?

[@garrettmcdaniel2472]

there’s no way it has that much damage from a “3 mph” rollover

[@offroadfunz6094]

That’s what I thought too when it went over I thought ok no big deal don’t do that again and then it turned into an 11000 no parts to fix it nightmare

[@gary3046]

@@offroadfunz6094 Sorry, I'm not buying it. 3 mph is a brisk walking speed; IF you rolled it at walking speed (doubtful), it would not have done that much damage. As far as parts availability, yes it's maddening, but it's very common with a new model; it takes time for the parts supply chain to materialize. Greed? I don't know about that, but your point is well taken. The video is good in that it points out not only the parts availability (or lack thereof), but also the ridiculous pricing. But hey, that's no different than many vehicles on the market today. But 3 mph? Nope.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Gary don’t care if you believe it or not as i am still in disbelief myself at how poorly this thing is built

[@offroadfunz6094]

Gary also Polaris has basically unlimited resources they choose parts suppliers and place the orders for parts they choose to leave their customers out in the cold and that sir is bad business

[@garrettmcdaniel2472]

Off road fun Z my “3 mph” rollover caused a 1 in crack in my finder flare. my other significantly faster rollover and slide probably going 17-20 mph ripped the rear fender off. still don’t understand how a “3 mph” rollover bent both radiators, destroyed all plastics on that side and bent frame.. very hard to believe

[@TK-gi5sv]

Spent five years as a technician with babbitts sport center near silver lake sand dunes, from my hands on experience from 2012-2017 the design and execution of the machines were greatly improved while the build quality went down hill at the same rate. Replacing all the ball joints and bushings due to excessive play, blown out wheel bearings, worn secondary clutches and smoked primaries, consistent wire harness repair for injectors and tmap sensors, front differential failures left and right all within 800-1500 miles is unacceptable. They have the market covered on performance and apparently in this world that’s all it takes to put up with the poor build quality. Bummer on the new unit being so fragile, I feel your pain man.

[@kylecompagnon3917]

Holy crap!!, You may have just changed my mind!

[@bobbyb608]

I understand wanting to maintain the stock configuration of a new machine, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be going back with stock, I’d be going back with metal body panels and wrapping the cage around to the front bumper for more security

[@domipre5555]

That’s sucks ... I don’t really like the xp pro body style , my 2019 xp4 is awesome.. I think people get stuck on horsepower numbers and forget about everything else ..

[@ICU-th7qj]

Yea ppl just want power and speed! My xpk is plenty and does everything I need! Yea ppl dont do there research

[@JsGarage]

You may not like the body but there is a lot about the overall design that is good. I do agree however that many seem to just want the highest HP machine.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Jay P the design may be ok but the execution is poor

[@maraudermitchelli]

Did you ever get your parts and answer?

[@r3jybarra]

Did the same to mine. I have a 2019 xp4 turbo s. I put it on its side at low speed and the roll cage bent, both radiators needed to be replaced, because the brackets put terrible bends in them, it broke several clips and a mount to my front headlight. I understand its heavy but was disappointed in the strength of the roll cage.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Yes I don’t know what they’re thinking at Polaris I’ve been a loyal customer for over 20 years spent well over 100,000$ with them and they quite simply do not care about product quality or their customer..... sad

[@iam106racing2]

I'll stick with my cfmoto zforce 800ex. I've put that thing in its top and side going about 35. Flipped it over picked up the fender flares that are held on by plastic rivets and drove it for another 5 hours each time with no issues. Only paid 11k for it brand new....

[@offroadfunz6094]

Iam106racing I’d say most well built machines can handle a soft or moderate roll with minimal damage but not the xp pro

[@jalopyrider3804]

As a polaris tech I have always strongly advised against the brand for anyone that doesnt just have money to burn, the initial performance and user friendliness of the machines draws people to them but after even 20 hours on most of their machines the quality starts to show, all I can say is polaris is making a ton of money on the margins they have on parts and the machines themselves. Lol

[@James-mx7qr]

Great video...The exact reason I sold my 2018 rzr turbo is they are way too top heavy. I put mine on its side the fist day I owned it. Sold it last year for a 2019 x3.The rzr is a not even close to the x3 in every way...except for the blind spots. I can live with that knowing it won't roll on corners.

I feel your frustration and pain. I have the 1st rzr 2008 RZR 800 and I have rolled it about 3 times. I drive it hard over logs, small trees and it still keeps on ticking. I have over 6,500 miles and still runs good. Quality has gone down hill ever since then. Keeping my 2008 RZR 800. As of Nov 2019 I still have the original belt on it and it still looks good. But it sure looks TINY sitting next to my girlfriends new 2017 Polaris 1000XP high lifter. LOL.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Don S yes the early models were very tough and much less expensive the new one is overpriced and under built

[@tinamaree1084]

3 miles a hour? This is a new production so of course it is going to cost more to get parts but I don't see how a rollover, especially at 3 mph destroyed radiators or the frame. I just see plastic damage. Another question. Why do you roll over so many rzrs? We have had rzrs all the way back to the 800 and then 900, 1000xp, 1000xp turbo dynamix, and now the 2020 Ultimate. We have never rolled one ever. Just turn into your insurance company and get it paid for and get something else. Of course you can't get parts when it is a new model and still in production and high demand. We love ours by the way. Much beefier suspension and a great ride so far.

[@offroadfunz6094]

It’s great that you’ve never rolled one here’s some good advice if you do roll one don’t roll the ultimate because it’ll fold like it’s made of eggshells

Loved your video and not to question your speed at the accident but i can vouch with you that Polaris makes weak chassis (not comparable to can am and the yamaha for sure) but this is also why 1- after market companies like SDR makes cages, doors and other parts 2- all of utv i tested so far (not including the new pro xp just try to flip them going over 10mph in a heel decent and u will see oem part damages in many areas. Hope you fix her soon man

[@offroadfunz6094]

I would hesitate to bolt a stronger roll cage to this weak and thin frame it’s over hyped and under built as for the speed I wasn’t staring at the speedometer but it was a low speed flop in soft dirt that never should have resulted in so much damage

[@yellowsuzuki06]

Interesting point of view and I think as these things become more complex and car like, price goes up. As these things become more competitive they may rush new stuff out the door. Hope you get it all sorted and out having fun soon, but it's something for all of us to think about. I may need to reevaluate my insurance.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Thanks all I’m trying to say is that if I had all of the resources available to me that polaris has and if I called myself the industry leader like polaris does I would build a better product and I would not release the product to the public until full product support was in place seems like common sense to me but obviously not to polaris they have lost their way

[@philoftheoutdoors3250]

I know, I especially agree when it come to the exterior pieces, I had to pull the top door mount over 2 inches and the hinge had to be adjusted as well from a light roll over. I'm a welder/fabricator, not a great one, but understand how something can be made stronger and still be lighter, those pieces probably should be gusseted better just to start, that probably doesn't cover what has happen to yours, but that's just what I see on mine.

[@thmike]

On a positive note.. It's pretty easy to fix low range power.. Polaris Definetly detunes the low range... Go with an aftermarket tune to get full power in reverse. They detuned low in all prior rzr turbos.. I hate my 19 turbo low range. Glad to hear the chassis does handle better

[@offroadfunz6094]

Easy to fix yes but shouldn’t have to spend 500$ for a programmer when they should tune it to run properly at the factory especially for 25k should be ready to run ....... thieves

[@thmike]

@@offroadfunz6094 your not wrong.. But I can see 9/10 people who would mess stuff up with full power in low. Detuning them in low helps with making the driveline last. If/when superatv come out with a tune.. It should only be around 300.

I had similar issues with Polaris help phone, my 2015 sportsman 1000xp kept catching stuff on fire, debris collecting on the muffler caught fire numerous times, the fenders caught fire from the muffler, then the front differential input bearing plate exploded, then voltage regulator catches fire, then 3 more after the first voltage regulator caught fire, so most I've seen outta Polaris is a heat sheild update kit, that's the only thing Polaris has done with all my bikes issues, oh wait, it also spits out brake pads,, ya that's safe right. Polaris has the right price, awesome machines with all the bling and fancy features you could ever ask for... BUT.... they dont build quality products and they DONT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY BUILD.

Rs1 same deal if you roll. Front to back on its side light roll. Every PC plastic and back rack and roof shattered, frame PCs twisted. End of day they belong on all fours but when it happens, 11g to fix plastics etc is redicilous.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Martorious Martuzzi #44 agree should keep it on all 4 wheels but a low speed roll over on soft dirt should not be close to 11k in damage polaris quality and durability is in the toilet

[@MartoriousMartuzzi]

@@offroadfunz6094 I hear you, our roll was on very slow speed into soft dirt and was shocked at how much damage it caused, I got rid of it right after. But sure loved how that rs1 rode.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Martorious Martuzzi #44 yes rs1 is awesome and actually built much better than the pro I’m keeping both I’ll just have to adjust my riding style

I've been a loyal polaris fan sence I seen the first polaris that was sold in Oklahoma I've had a lot over the years I currently own 5 now my good friend purchased a can am x3 about a year ago and it has me thinking about making a change he goes everywhere I go and after a few hours hes ready to keep going when my son and i are ready for a nap and a Massage we have 2 rzr s that are identical twins Polaris had better play catch up real quick or I know a guy that's getting 2 new X3s

[@ricter29]

That’s why I wait till at least the year after or longer before getting these new non current

[@offroadfunz6094]

ricter29 Polaris has been in business for a long time and they haven’t figured it out yet don’t think waiting a year will help

[@YOSHI450R]

@@offroadfunz6094 you liked the old RZR, it had the same issues it's first year, No parts available. I work for a company that builds/supplies parts for the snowmobile industry. Every manufacturer has issues the first year it doesn't matter if it's a toy or the truck you haul it with. Maybe for your next toy you should wrap it with an exoskeleton. I worked for Polaris a few years ago my mom worked for them for over 20 years my sister welded frames for Polaris for almost a decade. When I seen the new design I said that it's going to be expensive if you lay it over. The plastic just sits out to far. I agree that quality has gone down but not drastically unless you're machine came from the mexico plant which has more bad machines than good ones come out of it. Polaris is extremely understaffed and it's a race to keep up with demand every time a new model comes out that's why you wait, it's not just Polaris that has that issue, everyone does. I grew up with Yamaha and Ski-doo primarily. I've seen issues with every brand. I know multiple test engineers for Polaris and they beat on everything from every manufacturer they all have issues you pick what you like and hope you get lucky and don't crash them. Me personally I'd buy a Kawasaki krx if you want the strongest chassis. They overbuilt it. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the talon I looked at. It could have been a bad one but I wouldn't expect the chassis to last with hard riding and the front a-arms are trash.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Knallkoper Morder it’s because of people like you making excuses and accepting lousy business practices that we have lousy products and lousy customer service as long as people accept terrible products and no product support why would these arrogant billion dollar companies bother to care you’re either part of the solution or part of the problem you sir are not part of the solution

[@YOSHI450R]

@@offroadfunz6094 I didnt make an excuse, I just understand the business field I work in. When a new product launches there's not an over abundance of spare parts because the parts are being made on demand. We don't build 200,000 of the same part and sit on it in a warehouse like companies used to, (that destroyed thousands of companies) we run a day or two ahead of the plant it saves the companies and the consumer's money. As for reliability of new products, Polaris dumps thousands of hours into testing before the products get released to the market. that's 10's of millions of dollars into a machine that may very well flop in sales. The amount spent on products that get r&d'd and tested and never get used pushes that number exponentially higher. If you want a machine to be released with an extra two years of working out every issue that machines price is going to triple or the company will go belly up. It'd be nice to buy a machine that's perfect from day 1 but how many people could afford to buy it... Not enough to keep the company in business. Do you know why Polaris has been buying up every company they can? It's because they need the income from other areas with better profit margins. Do you know what happened to Polaris and Arctic Cat when they didn't diversify the company they got bought out by Textron luckily for Polaris the employee's bought the company back after Textron ran it into the ground completely, and they launched the Indy line and the company exploded then it was going down again until the sxs boom happened. We all want a perfect product from day 1 as a consumer but it's just not possible, look at the auto industry you want the best car built to the highest standard you're paying over 1mil. And the companies the build those cars are owned by huge diversified companies or they make very limited numbers and Jack the price up two to three times that to keep their companies afloat. Polaris Honda and Yamaha are big enough that they in theory could release that RZR at 95% but it would probably cost 80k+ and they could only make a certain amount a year. Most new machines are released around 85% because the consumer's buying which feeds the company and figuring out the last few bugs doesn't cost the companies as much, that is why machines get recalled and fixed at the companies expense which doesn't hurt you as the consumer it hurts the company and every employee who has to put in 6-7 day a week shifts as they watch their yearly bonus shrink.

[@offroadfunz6094]

Knallkoper Morder still sounds like excuses to me I can assure you that if the resources that Polaris has were afforded to me I would most certainly build a better product with better support they quite simply choose to short change their customers

[@MS-gr2nv]

CRAP, That sucks! How did you damage the radiator at 3 mile per hour without the front end being smashed? I wish you would of taken pictures of your roll over...Sorry for your loss!!!!

[@jelias999]

No way he was doing 3mph I'm a firm believer don't buy anything 1st year either there's always bugs with shit i totally could get with the 3mph thing until there's radiator damage instantly calling bullshit seeing that if it was that slow amd he landed on top how the fuck did he damage radiators he's not telling ya something honest my ass

[@cjmi52]

I am going to assume he was exaggerating how slow he was going to make a point. I have a Polaris Pro XP and I don’t think you can make it go 3mph. So I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he really meant he was going ‘slow’ and that happened.

[@danpmatz]

@@jelias999 I'm not a Polaris fan by any means but I challenge anybody in the comments section to try to roll a machine going 3 miles an hour no Hills involved

[@offroadfunz6094]

Joshua Elias I wish it was bull but it’s not I was surprised at all the plastic damage and dismayed at the frame damage but seeing the radiators were destroyed after such a minor roll removed any remaining doubts that this machine is an off road capable unit it is a very fragile delicate flower

3miles an hour ? What you got in your yard a cliff or rock wall dude we sent the x3 on its side only because we hit a tree root and caught the rim

[@offroadfunz6094]

Yeah you would think but no just kinda flopped over at low speed in soft dirt and did all that damage I still can’t get parts and im still very sad and dismayed that I spent all that money on a machine that is absolutely not off road capable I don’t care who you are you ride off road long enough sooner or later you’ll have an unexpected accident and these machines should be robust enough to handle the minor ones without sustaining 11000$ in damage

[@raxman80]

That's a huge bummer

[@aaronkerns6808]

So did the actual 2inch frame bend? Or just the door? I just got mine today and i was pissed at the assembly of it. My buddy and I had to take a lot of the plastic off and reassemble it. The plastic in a lot of areas had gaps and you could tell that’s not where it was supposed to be. For some reason it died while we were riding it no clue why. Who should I email? Also, how did you wire your light bar up? Did you run the wires inside the frame?

[@offroadfunz6094]

Yes the frame bent and I’m in northern Ohio it landed in soft dirt just imagine what would happen out west in some rocky terrain the plastics on this machine are junk all of the mounting tabs snapped right off and the white pieces are 400$ each I’ve been a loyal Polaris customer for over 20 years my faith in the company and their products is gone I will never buy another Polaris you can call the owner connection customer service line but don’t expect much help and yes I ran the wires inside the cage

[@offroadfunz6094]

Look at the thickness of your frame tubes they make such a big deal about their 2 inch tubes but they’re so thin I don’t care what they’re made of they’re going to bend they claim to be the industry leader ha what a sad joke they used to be not anymore

[@aaronkerns6808]

Well I feel that I’m in that same bucket. Again, I don’t like the plastic or the doors on this thing and if the frame really is that weak then that’s pathetic. I’ve only got less than a mile on mine but had some clutch noise. Any noise that you’ve noticed?

[@offroadfunz6094]

Yes Polaris clutches are noisy as are all cvt clutches

[@offroadfunz6094]

Jp 1990 they really have no regard for customer satisfaction if they did they would never release the product to the public with absolutely no product support available no replacement parts at all finally after 6 weeks the parts are starting to arrive after about 20 phone calls to polaris the self proclaimed industry leader should be better than that it’s not like they don’t have the capacity to have replacement parts available at product release they leave their customers hanging by choice very poor business practices

I’m an experienced rider I’ve been off roading since the 70s I’ve had mini bikes,dirt bikes three wheelers 4 wheelers side x sides and many others thousands of off road miles and decades of experience but I must say I like to push the limits and ride hard although my roll over did catch me off guard because it was a very low speed event but in the right (or wrong) circumstances you can roll any machine and any machine will sustain some damage it’s unfortunate that this machine is so under built that a slow roll over in soft dirt resulted in an unacceptable amount of damage

[@TheTightShirts]

Just don’t buy new models or special editions that haven’t been out for a long time. My buddy bought a brand new Ford Focus RS when they first came out and in the first two months of owning it, he took a tire to the grill on the highway. Well his car ended up being in the shop for 8 months because the car was so new they couldn’t get a front bumper, and this is Ford motor company! I doubt it’s greed, just how things are in manufacturing.
