I love the RZR 170 for the ability to ride with my son when he was first learning, but it was a proud dad moment to stand back and watch him drive solo for the first time. Smart and cautious the first lap, and then you could see the grin hiding behind his helmet when I gave him the thumbs up. He knew what I meant, and headed straight for his first jump…

Minneapolis, October 6, 2015 — Polaris® Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today introduced two new Polaris RZR vehicles that fuel the RZR lifestyle and allow people to share the off-road experience with family and friends. The new RZR XP® 4 Turbo EPS and RZR XP® 4 1000 EPS High Lifter Edition offer extreme performance for the desert, trail, mud and dunes.

Three months ago, Polaris introduced the all-new 2016 RZR XP Turbo EPS which was completely re-engineered to translate industry-leading power into unmatched performance and durability. Today, RZR is introducing this same breakthrough level of extreme performance for four, to share the off-road with friends and family.

The new RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS is the ultimate combination of extreme performance in a side-by-side, with all of the features of the RZR XP Turbo EPS. Both are completely engineered, front to back, to translate industry-leading power into unmatched performance and durability. The vehicle brings significant innovations to each of the hallmark Power, Suspension, Agility, Comfort and Customization aspects of RZR to provide the ultimate off-road experience for four.

The Polaris ProStar® Turbo engine provides an industry-leading 144 horsepower-, 30 percent more horsepower and 45 percent more torque than the RZR XP 4 1000 EPS. The ProStar Turbo effortlessly carries a full load of thrill seekers over the most power-robbing terrain. The new engine was developed for extreme performance and features all new, high performance parts including forged pistons, an upgraded 270-degree firing order forged crankshaft, high strength connecting rods, a closed deck cylinder, sodium filled exhaust valves and a new oil lubrication system. For consistent performance at all temperatures, the vehicle also includes a new liquid charged air cooler with front-mounted, dual radiators with high-capacity fan and high-flow electric pump. To control the massive power delivered by the ProStar Turbo, the engine management system has also been updated to include knock detection, boost control and a high-flow return style fuel system ensuring that the engine delivers maximum power under all conditions, altitudes and temperatures.

To deliver maximum durability and performance, Polaris performed substantial testing on the engine with enough test miles to travel around the world more than nine times. The engine also is paired with an all-new stronger driveline to ensure all the power gets to the ground reliably. The fully-automatic PVT variable transmission ensures optimal power delivery in all conditions, with the ease of operation that suits riders of all types.

Similar to the RZR XP Turbo EPS, the RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS boasts the most precisely-tuned suspension due to the vehicle’s exclusive FOX Podium® Internal Bypass Shocks. The shocks offer the plushest ride and best handling on a side-by-side to conquer the harshest trails and terrain. Paired with a long wheel base, dual A-arm front suspension with 16 in/40.6 cm of front travel and race-inspired, 3-Link trailing arm rear suspension with an incredible 18 in/45.7 cm of rear travel, RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS occupants will experience one of the smoothest rides in a side-by-side whether riding alone or with up to three passengers.

The RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS also provides unmatched agility in every condition. The vehicle’s front sway bar dramatically decreases body roll in cornering for a more confidence-inspiring ride while the vehicle’s durable High Performance True On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive system provides the ultimate in responsiveness to the terrain. The vehicle also offers industry-leading braking performance with upgraded brakes featuring triple piston front calipers, dual piston rear calipers and large 248mm ventilated stainless steel rotors on all four corners, for durable and highly-responsive braking power.

RZR vehicles have been thoughtfully designed to provide occupants with the most exhilarating and comfortable ride on the market. From the exclusive, patented design that places the engine behind the seat to the placement of the occupants comfortably towards the middle of the vehicle, RZR’s design provides a low center of gravity for a more comfortable and stable ride. For driver and passenger comfort, the RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS offers adjustable seat sliders up front, adjustable seat belt heights for the rear occupants and a natural seat angle for enhanced comfort for a more enjoyable ride with friends and family.

RZR enthusiasts love to customize their vehicles and the RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS provides revolutionary accessory options with more than 110 exclusive accessories available. Polaris Engineered Accessories™ are designed with the vehicle to ensure the highest quality of design, integration and function. With integrated mounting points situated along the vehicle frame and pass-through areas for routing wires, accessories can be attached with minimal installation time. Additions, such as rock sliders and bumpers, easily attach and fit securely to the vehicle’s frame due to Polaris’ innovative Expanding Anchor technology; a revolutionary piece of hardware that expands as it is inserted into a mounting point. Lock & Ride® windshields, rear panels, roofs and doors work seamlessly with each other and install directly onto the vehicle frame’s designated mounting points, making installation simple, and providing superior fit and finish. Polaris Engineered Accessories™ come with a one-year factory warranty and do not jeopardize the vehicle warranty.

The RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS retails for retails for $27,499 U.S./$32,399 CAN, will be offered in Graphite Crystal and Spectra Orange, and will be available at Polaris dealerships in October.

If your friends and family prefer tackling the mud, the RZR XP 4 EPS High Lifter Edition provides performance-hungry, mud-thirsty, off-road enthusiasts an option to share their love of the mud with three other family members or friends.

“We needed to find more ways to get people dirty, and that’s exactly what we did with the new RZR XP 4 EPS High Lifter Edition,” said Scott Smith, owner and President of High Lifter Products, Inc. “Now, I can share my love of the mud with more of my family and friends.”

Similar to the RZR XP 1000 EPS High Lifter Edition, the RZR XP 4 EPS High Lifter Edition has a 110 horsepower ProStar® 1000 H.O. engine with mud-specific cooling and gearing. The high-mounted engine intakes, clutch intakes and exhaust keep the water out while providing an ample amount of fresh air. The vent lines are integrated into the cab frame to keep them free of debris for ultimate mud performance. To optimize power and torque for maneuvering through the mud, the vehicle offers reduced gearing for more torque and a larger reverse chain.

Suspension is incredibly important when cruising muddy trails and the RZR XP 4 1000 EPS High Lifter Edition delivers a suspension to handle the thickest and nastiest mud. High-clearance lower A-Arms and rear radius rods max the vehicle out at 15 in/38.1 cm of ground clearance to keep the vehicle riding high above the sticky stuff. The vehicle’s new, stiffer springs fight back when the mud piles up by helping maintain ground clearance as mud collects on the vehicle and the overall weight increases.

To stay agile in the mud you need traction and the RZR XP 4 1000 EPS High Lifter Edition offers 29.5 in/74.93 cm High Lifter Outlaw 2 tires for exceptional handling and plenty of grip to plow through the mud. When things get sticky, the standard 4,500 lb/2041.17 kg winch, with integrated in-dash switches and synthetic rope for more durability, ensure you’ll get through the most challenging mud hole.

Powering through mud can be tiring but the RZR XP 4 1000 EPS High Lifter Edition ensures all occupants are having a comfortable mud-conquering experience. Dryseat technology on the seats and factory-installed half doors keep the mud where it belongs. The doors feature a secure latching system with sealed contact points around the rocker panel and front fender for a drier ride. Standard Electronic Power Steering (EPS) means less strain on the driver and the standard rear-view mirror helps with keeping an eye on the trail instead of turning around to check on rear occupants or people following. When the ride is over, the removable floor drains make washing out mud and debris quick and easy.

The RZR XP 4 1000 High Lifter Edition was designed in tandem with one of the leaders in mud riding, High Lifter Products, and offers premium mud features from the factory at a MSRP of $25,699 U.S./$30,199 CAN, so the vehicle can go from the showroom to that favorite mud hole in a matter of minutes. Polaris Engineered Accessories also has more than 110 accessories, including a wide variety of audio, lighting, and storage for the mud enthusiasts who love to customize their RZR to maximize their mud-riding experience.

The RZR XP 4 1000 High Lifter Edition will be available in dealerships in October.

For off-road enthusiasts looking for a value high performance or premium trail vehicle 2-seat model, Polaris also has added a RZR S 900 with Blue Fire premium paint without Electronic Power Steering (EPS), retailing at $15,499 U.S./$17,799 CAN. The vehicle will continue to offer a 75 horsepower, ProStar 900 engine; optimized 60 in/152.4 cm track width; dual A-Arm rear suspension with FOX Performance Series 2.0 Podium X Shocks; True On-Demand All-Wheel Drive; and enhanced accessory integration and customization with more than 90 Polaris Engineered Accessories available. The vehicle will be available in dealerships in October.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (October 05, 2015) — Polaris Industries (NYSE: PII), in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Transport Canada, is issuing a voluntary recall on model year 2015 Polaris RZR 900 and 1000 vehicles due to reports of pinched fuel tank vent lines. The recall is related to the vehicle’s fuel tank vent line potentially being incorrectly installed during manufacturing, causing it to become pinched, which may cause the fuel tank to pressurize and leak fuel, posing a potential fire hazard. Polaris estimates that the assembly error occurred in very few vehicles; however, Polaris is issuing a voluntary recall so that all these vehicles could be inspected and any affected vent lines fixed prior to further use.

Polaris is taking this action after confirming that, in some reports, a vent line had been pinched during assembly. In those cases, Polaris has also received reports of the driveline contacting a pressurized and expanded fuel tank, resulting in a fuel leak and a fire hazard. Polaris also received two reports of small fires, but could not confirm whether the vent line was obstructed during assembly or during subsequent accessory installation or whether the pinched vent line was the cause of the fires.

“Polaris is committed to the safety and quality of its products and is swiftly addressing the potential problem and has taken the appropriate steps to prevent any future occurrences,” said Michael Erickson, Polaris’ General Manager, RZR.

Polaris is sending a recall letter directly to each registered owner of a vehicle within the scope of this recall. All 2015 Polaris RZR 900 and 1000 vehicle owners will be asked to contact a dealer starting Oct. 5 to schedule a service appointment. There will be no cost to customers or dealers for this product inspection and fix.

Additionally, the company will provide information on the issue at Polaris Camp RZR in Glamis, Calif., Oct. 30 — 31, 2015.

This is the one. This is the one to get. Read no further if you were considering the purchase. Don’t waste your time. Do it and you won’t regret it for a second. Trust me. The rest of the words here are for those that don’t trust me.

This release was overshadowed by the Turbo machine and that is a shame because I think this is the absolute best sub-$20k machine on the market. I almost hesitate to even put the "sub-$20k" designation on it. It is that good. If you have followed my ramblings in the past, you know that I am a fan of the RZR S. The S 1000 has addressed every single compromise that you encounter with the S as opposed to the XP1.

The S 1000 is an absolute scalpel where the XP1000 is a 8 lb sledge. Brimstone’s 19,196 acres of mountains in TN is where I got to flog the ever-loving piss out of this machine. I literally never wanted to get out of it. I am certain that these mountains were carved out knowing that Polaris was going to build the S 1000. From moment one, the suspension offered the feedback from each corner that inspired me to push harder and harder. It was the closest to rally driving that I might ever get (I hope that I get to eat those words). I can’t say that I ever felt like I was in a hairy situation short of ham fisted input from the terrible driver (me). This is a tremendous machine.

Luckily many of my readers here already know all of the specs of this machine as compared to the other models, so I don’t have to make this a spec-fest. The Fox Podium 2.0 shocks in all four corners offer fantastic feedback that allows you to feel your way through the path directly underfoot. Driving hard along trails littered with what could be miles-deep puddles was not an issue as the steering was precise enough to thread the needle, slam the front tire onto the lip of the puddle and pedal the rear end around. I love the feel that you get through the suspension and the Dirt Commanders’ stiff sidewalls and aggressive bite gives confidence to push into corners without fear of washing the front end out. The way that the S 1000 is set up, the front tires are on rails and the right foot determines the line of the rear of the vehicle. It is absolutely exhilarating to drive this thing fast.

The RZR S 1000 adopts the same transmission that was introduced in last year’s S 900, and that is a very very good thing. Polaris spent a lot of time developing a new transmission that more closely fit their customers’ driving habits. Low gear will allow you to run up to 45 mph and then softly hover on the rev limiter without the jarring fuel cuts that is common with other limiters. There were times that I had to physically look at the speedo to find that I was at my max speed. After looking at some of the footage the technical trails of Brimstone very rarely saw me needing more than 45mph. Polaris hit the nail on the absolute head with the gearing offered in Low, the engine is at peak power almost all the time, offering up the full 100 horses at the twitch of the right foot.

I cannot speak highly enough about the power of this machine. At 8.1 horsepower for every 100 pounds of weight, this thing is just asking to take on more and more aggressive terrain. It’s like trying to keep up with a new-found girlfriend that is 10 years your junior in all of the best ways that I can mean that. In the steep stuff, where the S 900 is pinned to the floor, the 1000 requires a little more finesse about the throttle as she is a little more sensitive to muddled attempts at flattery. When matted, the rear tires of the S 1000 generally tilled parallel flower beds all the way up the hill and put a smile on my face the whole time. Driving the S 1000 requires deliberate and mindful delivery of throttle as corners are overcooked quickly. Luckily the brakes are good to bring the speed to heal and keep the machine on the trail. I’m not going to say that I lifted the right rear tire while trying to pull down into a heavy hairpin, because that would be irresponsible. But if I did, I could tell you that the machine kept it’s composure and kept me out of the woods. Did I say that this machine was good already? Well, just in case… This machine is really… Really good. I spent most of the day tearing through the woods like a wounded hog retreating to the underbrush. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.

The model that I was driving had all of the things that I love to be included on my machine. The standard hard door is so welcome as a change from the net that was offered on the original S model. I would have loved to have the lower half doors installed on this machine as they would have alleviated some of the mud flinging into the cab and stiffened up the closure of the door. There was a little bit jiggling and noise coming from the closure.

I was afforded the new Graphic Sport Roof as well. This was a semi-transparent polycarbonate sun roof that allowed you to see branches and obstacles above the cab through a dot matrix window at the center of the roof while still blocking the sun. I saw some blows to the roof watching others drive the S 1000, and the roof flexed and took the punishment only to bounce right back into shape, and shy of a scratch was not worse for the wear.

Lastly, I would have loved for the machine to be fitted with the retractable Click-6 Harness. The stock 3 point is good, but there is something about a multi-point harness that holds you in the seat.

Speaking of the seat, the stock seats just keep getting more and more comfortable and I love it. I do wish that the seats offered a little more lateral torsion resistance, but that could be somewhat sorted with the 6 point harness and/or a performance seat.

If you are going to have a single machine in your garage and spend time in multiple styles of trail systems, I feel like you would be hard pressed to not own the RZR S 1000. Virtually all of the concerns and wants from last year’s S 900 update were addressed with the S 1000. The 900 was good, great really, but the bump in horsepower and torque are exactly what the segment needed.

This machine checks all of the boxes for me. It is wide enough to handle it’s power and aggressive driving. It is powerful enough to break traction on dry pavement, kick sideways, and run up to 60 in the bink of an eye. It fits into the back of a pickup with ease for quick weekend trips. Starting at $17,999, it is priced aggressively with the competition while offering proven performance and industry-leading innovation.

This machine has all the power. Literally all of it. Go get one. You won’t regret it for a moment.
