New RANGER RZR XP 4 900 Offers Razor Sharp Xtreme
Performance for Four
This
past January, Polaris introduced a whole new class of side-by-side with the
RZR XP 900. Building off of the launch, Polaris is introducing
another extreme performance side-by-side to the family, the RZR XP
4 900. This launch will bring Xtreme performance for four while delivering
the ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility found in the
entire RZR family.
The RZR XP 4 900 is the most-capable, highest-powered,
multi-passenger side-by-side with the longest wheelbase making it the
ultimate performance vehicle in the market place. The vehicle has many of
the same attributes as the RZR XP 900; the proven 88 horsepower,
ProStar™ 900 Twin engine, 3-Link Trailing Arm Independent Rear Suspension
(IRS) with 12.5 in/31.8 cm of ground clearance and 14 in/35.6 cm of travel,
On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive and low center of gravity for unmatched
cornering; with a class-leading 107 in/271.8 cm of wheelbase to not only
accommodate two more passengers, but also provide the smoothest ride
available on a high-performance side-by-side.
“
Polaris
continues to innovate the RANGER RZR line by developing highly
sought-after vehicles that offer the ultimate combination of power,
suspension and agility,” said Dave Longren, vice president and general
manager of Polaris’ Off-Road Vehicles Division. “With the instant success of
the RZR XP 900 and the popularity of multi-passenger vehicles
throughout the industry, it was a natural progression to develop an
extreme-performing vehicle that four can enjoy.”
The ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility starts with
power. At the heart of the RZR XP 4 900 is the 88 horsepower
ProStar™ 900 Twin EFI engine that was built specifically for an
extreme-performance side-by-side and first found in the RZR XP 900.
The engine features Dual OverHead Cams (DOHC), four big valves per cylinder
and dual throttle bodies located close to the intake valves for fast
throttle response and groundbreaking acceleration.
In order to handle the massive power of the engine and keep the ride
smooth, the RZR XP 4 900 features a 3-Link Trailing Arm IRS. The
3-link design consists of two extra-long radius rods and a far
forward-connecting trailing arm resulting in a strong, yet lightweight
system. And, for the first time on a Side-by-Side, the RZR XP 4 900
will offer Premium, 2.5 in/6.4 cm body, Walker Evans rear shocks, the
largest stock shocks on the market. The massive 2.5-inch body shocks are
designed to deliver higher damping forces and avoid shock fade compared to a
2-inch body shock thanks to a 35 percent larger piston area that reduces
internal pressure and heat generation. The shock also contains 35 percent
more oil volume to slow the rate of heat buildup when pounding through the
roughest terrain.
Coupling
the Walker Evans shocks with RZR XP 4 900’s long wheel base makes
for the smoothest ride from a high-performance side-by-side. Its 14 in/35.6
cm of terrain-absorbing rear travel and 13.5 in/34.3 cm of front travel soak
up the rough stuff and deliver a smooth, precise ride, while 12.5 in/31.8 cm
of ground clearance gives the machine the ability to tackle any obstacle in
its way.
For razor-sharp agility, RZR XP 4 900 features a low center of
gravity for the ultimate ride over rough terrain. The engine-behind-the-seat
design and strategically-placed key components optimize vehicle weight
distribution delivering extreme, razor-sharp agility and performance, while
the race-inspired rear suspension maximizes traction and power in the
corners. To provide precise cornering, the suspension’s radius rods extend
deep into the wheel hubs and feature an uneven link geometry that optimizes
camber. This allows the tires to lean into the corner through the suspension
travel, and plant more tire surface on the ground for maximum control. For
added agility, Polaris will have a limited edition RZR XP 4 900
with electronic power steering for added control and less rider fatigue in
the rough stuff.
In creating the first high-performance, four-seat side-by-side, Polaris
paid close attention to ergonomics. Similar to its family members, the
RZR XP 4 900 has class-leading tilt steering offering 10 in/25.4 cm of
range and a heel pocket for unmatched throttle control. The front passenger
will enjoy an adjustable front passenger handrail, while the rear passengers
have ample amount of head-room and a rear passenger handrail. Similar to the
front passengers, rear passengers also have a 12-volt plug in and two cup
holders. All four bucket seats are interchangeable and offer 4 in/10.2 cm of
front-to-rear adjustability making it easy to switch drivers. For safety,
RZR XP 4 900 has four side protective nets and a certified
roll-over protective structure (ROPS).
The RZR XP 4 900 is offered in Indy Red and a premium automotive
quality Vogue Silver limited edition model with electronic power steering,
and will be available at Polaris dealerships in January. PURE Polaris will
have a wide range of accessories, including cargo boxes, winches and
protection also available at launch.
