ALL-NEW RZR XP VS RZR XP 1000 - SHOP TALK EP. 18 | POLARIS OFF-ROAD | Polaris Off Road Vehicles

[@fishmanmark187]

Are the wheel bearings bigger? Are the ball joints bigger? is the compound of the bushings better? Is there room for a bigger or second battery? How big is the box compared to the old one? How far do the seats slide? Is the front diff bigger? You missed a few things there bud

[@javadose317]

Its more expensive and not as good

[@motorcyclestig8539]

He didn't miss anything if you get what I'm saying

[@DaveM111]

But you can mount about 17 lights to it. It'll be super kewl.

[@gregd8381]

​@@DaveM111 lol super kewl!!

[@jeffjones6211]

Bought the 2022 Pro XP 4 Ultimate last year around $40K - top of the line model and it doesn't even come with a roof!! 1st time owning a Polaris and once you get it home and start working on things like upgrades needed just to make it more reliable you see how crappy things are held together. Then the heat in the cab issue. This took me totally by surprise, did not see much out there on this issue and it is a major issue in my mind. Freakin 130+ degrees in the cab when I checked with my thermal heat gun. This should be the first thing Polaris addresses along with all the fire issues. Mine is sitting due to the recall for months now. Next time I will really have to look at other brands before I go Polaris again.

[@gregd8381]

I found when the radiator gang kicks in the heat just flows in. If you look at how the dash is designed it let in a lot of the hot air from the rad fan. If you can plug that up it'll keep a lot of the heat out. When I lifted the dash out to I stall some wiring I could see how the heat gets in. I have a 21 high lifter. Not sure what you run but if you have a rzr that should help you keep some of the heat out. I know there still lots of heat from the coolant lines that run through the tunnel. And the exhaust manifold is right behind you. But it helps some.

[@CasperRc81]

@@gregd8381my turbo 19’ it’s the coolant lines that run along the drive shaft that heat up the cup holders etc. just need to pop those panels off and creat shielding. I prefer the suicide doors also I have rock sliders I can kick my left onto and keep the door cracked let’s in cooler air also. I need to make new door hinges so they can slide off like a jeep

[@kellydavis4954]

why didn't you ever fix the clutches on the previous xp models

[@shirolee]

It was still in beta testing with owners.

[@ericlessard5021]

So, polaris put smaller brake in the rear and try to tell us it s an upgrade?

[@nicholasvaughn2386]

Yeah! 😂 How about the supposed triple rate springs lol! One fully compressed spring, a second nearly compressed what a joke!

[@Clownbaby666]

@@nicholasvaughn2386 lol I came in here to ask them if it still had smashed tender springs. You beat me too it.

[@vervi1jw1]

Upgrade to their profit margins.

[@4martell4]

Why would Polaris add the tie down points for trailering on the suspended part of the machine- being on the front bumper? This is against most recommendations for tying down - to use the non-suspended parts; tires or the bottom of the control arms etc. It would make a great winch hook attachment point? The rest of the machine looks great!

[@447Film]

I know right. I hook to bottom of a arms

[@jonwarwick1017]

Just polaris engineering at it's finest lol

[@Vgk36]

🫣

[@shirolee]

Yep, you're supposed to strap down on the un-suspended parts of the vehicle. I strap over the tires. Guess Polaris couldn't figure that out. Makes you wonder how they figured everything else out.

[@topJimmyP1984]

Awesome explanation of all the new upgrades and great to hear they are listening to the customers wants and needs

[@PolarisORV]

🤘🤘🤘

[@JPS1990]

Would also like to know if it got the rs1 front diff???

[@KC-7mm]

I personally really like the machine looks wise the size is perfect for what I ride. Would like to see a bigger bed with a clean tailgate. Glad to see Polaris attempt to make the cages safer and cleaner looking hopefully they’re thicker than a 1/16 of and inch

[@mprice42]

Dear Camera guy, the entire time he is talking about the dash you're looking at him instead of what he is talking about... Couldn't see HALF of what he was talking about during the entire interior comfort discussion.

[@jonwarwick1017]

Does it come with a stop ride stop sale upgrade?

[@Road2Offroad]

Just saw one in person at the mint 400 and have to say I’m impressed with all the upgrades on all new platform! Leg and knee room is huge improvement

[@ericlessard5021]

Do you know if it has the pro xp front diff?

[@Road2Offroad]

@@ericlessard5021 I do know it has a new front diff that is isolated using a rubber isolation system and will help with chatter and rough terrain. I was told it’s bigger but it wouldn’t be a direct swap with pro xp as the way the case is mounted to the frame is all new. The inners may be the same though.

[@scroob72]

You have to pull the bed to clean/swap the air filter? I have the 2021 Premium, same as the new Ultimate and with one pull of a lever I have access to my airbox. The new design looks great, but for ease of maintance, I'm not so sure.

[@danobonano1315]

Handle bar lug wrench?? Awesome

[@PolarisORV]

Right😏

[@dontcallmemarty2177]

I have a 19 and I think it looks better but I don’t think the fang lights came stock on the reg xp

[@fishsticks5175]

Center display?

[@Travide]

Question is simce this and rhe pro model is close in price which one do you pick

[@cmcdavid1485]

Any models coming with gear reduction and arched “A” arms? How about high rise air intake upgrade like the Highlifter Edition of the previous model. Personally, for where I ride, it’s hard to beat.

[@____MC____]

Whats the point in having a coil bound spring?

[@jaschaklemm2573]

Yeah, Great the New One RZR XP! I like it like this, i love Shop talk to learn everything about the Polaris Racing Vehikle! Great Respekt from a German Raceguy!!! Is there a place in America for Riding them on Safe Trail´s? Here in Germany there is strong Law´s, on the One side it´s good but on the other side it´s to severe. Great New Shop Talk Video!

[@dontcallmemarty2177]

The super simple to remove Grill! Mine flew off first ride !!!!

[@marlowstewart9398]

The Old one looks better!

[@Ohioturbos]

Can you talk about the front diff?

[@gregd8381]

Ya and the shitty prop shafts that are in the older models. I wonder what they did to those to improve vibration.

[@pedros195583]

They need to upgrade all the suspension components that people swap out right away because it's under built. Radius rods, a arms, bearings, front diff etc. Not just a 1 piece frame

[@Vgk36]

Way easier to total ! Thanks Polaris 😂. 2 piece frame saved a lot of cars. Not anymore

[@armando9293]

​@@Vgk36 how the 2 piece frame is an advantage over the newest

[@Vgk36]

@@armando9293 If your unit is damaged from the front or the rear the old car was able to be saved because you could swap out part of the frame. That way they don't total your car.

[@hillbillycustom1730]

What about gear and does it hold back

[@Rob-dh7xz]

can't wait to get mine

[@keithspencer8510]

So, still no arm rests or center console? How about a gated shifter? Why doesn't it have pass throughs for the seat harnesses to properly fit? Is there any type of HEAT diversion for the cab? Also, is the exhaust still too loud that you can't talk to your passenger or hear that ride command system they over charge you for? Do the drain plugs still allow water to flood the new fancy floor you can now move about easer? Thought this had "all day comfort ergonomics". Why were these issues not addressed. From my experience with my 2022 RZR, it's not very comfortable to listen to 110db exhaust in a 110 dreg cab. The look and size of the machine does nothing if you have to stop every 20mins to cool off and give your ears a break.

[@slickmongercash7788]

Maybe it's not the machine for you. The Ranger is much quieter.

[@REBELRIDERS]

Yeah man I’m not sure a sport side by side is for you. I’m thinking maybe a Toyota Prius. Sport quads are loud. Most guys are running after market pipes on these lmfao

[@cmcdavid1485]

I personally like the sound my 2022 Highlifter edition. It’s a deeper “I’m coming after you” sound vs the wimpy quiet sound of the Honda talon.

[@DoubleTap702]

Good idea doing the XX style bed.

[@douglowenthal1320]

Very nice like the full size doors

[@jusdsun8319]

This is going to be a good seller!

[@Aaron-bq5zk]

Polaris needs to focus on plug and play accessories for lights bars, winches, etc. People would be more inclined to buy accessories if they didn't have to worry about wiring headache.

[@slickmongercash7788]

That's what the pulsebar is there for. It allows you to plug n play accessories.

[@motorcyclestig8539]

This will have a recall soon. I can say that I have a $60k paper weight in my garage right now with a polaris badge on it. Just bought the thing have less than 100miles on it and I have already been told i can't drive it and if I do they are not responsible for what happens to it. Super pissed off

[@nicholasvaughn2386]

I feel ya! I have a 30k paper weight needing a fuel pump!!!

[@motorcyclestig8539]

@Nicholas Vaughn yeah it's BS man. It's my first side by side and I almost went can am because you can't knock a company that makes airplanes and instead I went polaris and I'm starting to regret it. I waited a year for my machine because I pre ordered it and now they want me to wait some more now that it's in my garage!? It's ridiculous. I garrentee this new XP has a recall also.

[@dr.d4957]

Just drive it! My sled recall applied to like 400k machines and out of those, something like 6 burned and 1 person was injured. The odds are minuscule, but they have to issue a stop ride to cover their ass.

[@donaldbillings1693]

@@nicholasvaughn2386 I had a stop ride on my 21 Turbo S, I kept using it, no issues

[@nicholasvaughn2386]

My first SXS also. Been Honda 4wheelers for me since the 90's.I got the Pro XP sport in September 21(ordered in march 21) and was lucky enough not to have any problems except the middle glovebox latch and tender springs until my machine was added to the recall list. I was hoping the krx-4 was going to be out as I thought it would be a more reliable option to the RZR. It didn't make it to market and I got the RZR over the 4-seat X3 as I didn't want that crazy long wheelbase. Looking back I should have probably went with the talon X4 but I wanted a smoother family rig.

The drive is isolated from the chassis. There is a bushing that absorbs the vibrations. Will ride quieter and smoother

Same crappy front diff?

[@1978JWJ]

I'm wondering the same thing, hopefully it got the RS1 front diff. If they changed that, then maybe they actually addressed all the major issues that plagued that platform for a decade.

[@JPS1990]

I found a picture of it online. It’s definitely the same dogshit one. Way to go po po

[@dbs311]

@@JPS1990 Every year after the RS1 came out, I kept waiting for the ".......and the XP 1000 now has the updated front diff.........." only to be here, 5 YEARS LATER, still in the same boat. This year is even more of a slap in the face because they took the time to update the chassis, which would have been the perfect opportunity to open up the front end to fit the larger diff. Why does it feel like they spend more time worrying about headlights/accent lights/chase lights compared to weak drivetrain components? It's like they are trying to distract the customer with "don't look down there, look here..........see.........pretty new lights.........."

Whoever designed the doors should be fired. Also, this shouldn't be under the RZR lineup, as it isn't too sporty looking anymore. Why wouldn't you just put it under the general lineup? Really taking a massive L here. I hope this has the RS1 front diff in it, or better.
