**GRIZZLYWIZARD** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-01-2011, 01:30 PM

As we bring in 2011, Polaris also brings in a new addition to their SxS fleet - the Polaris Ranger RZR 900 XP (Xtreme Performance) SxS. Packing an industry leading 88 horsepower and a 14" of suspension travel. This should certainly have the competition taking notice.

The RZR XP looks to be an awesome machine. The MSRP price starts at $15,999. This seems high, but this machine has only the finest ingredients like Fox Podium X 2.0 shocks, 27" ITP XCT tires and LED lighting. It's clear that the XP was intended to be a machine made for those who demand only the highest in performance. Many of the other features seem to mimic it's little brother, the RZR-S. Aside from the 875cc engine, the independent rear 3 link trailing arm suspension looks to be a great addition to this machine an give it great handling.

Maybe it paid off not dropping the cash on the 2010 Orange Madness RZR.

Well, that was a good thing you didn't buy yet.

For me, I banked on the 1000 can-am engine going in the Renegade for 2012. And rumor has it from a district sales manager that the 1000 will be in it. So, come august or so, mine will be for sale because I will have the first new Renegade my dealer has, as confirmed tonight, IF it does has the 1000.

Not to hijack the thread, but I am hoping they change the design of it for the coming year for the bad ass Can-Am Renegade 1000. I am stoked.

Pennies are being saved for what will most likely be an insanely priced machine I will have in my shop and be the baddest 4wd "sport-utility" quad on the market.
