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.
