>>>>New for 2011

The soon to be released 2011 model lineup is sure to shock the current ATV and UTV industry. When Polaris Industries introduced the Ranger RZR model in 2008, they changed the way side by side vehicles were perceived. No longer were they just considered farm implements or job site work vehicle, they brought the "Sport" aspect to the market. Once again they are changing the market for 2011 with their new RZR lineup. Polaris is carrying over the names and models from the 2010 model year, but each model is getting a few substantial changes due to more competition from other manufacturers. The 2011 standard RZR will still be 50" trail compliant, but it will be getting upgrades in a few departments. There will be 3 motor choices for the 2011 RZR, an EFI 500cc twin cylinder will be offered with a base price of $6799. This new economy based RZR is for the owner who wants a sporty side by side but doesn't want the high price that comes along with one. The 800 H.O. engine will be the standard motor in the new RZR, which is carried over from the previous model year RZR-S. And an all new EFI 950 (941cc) twin cylinder power plant will be available in the spring of 2011 for the Limited Edition and Special edition RZR's (pricing is TBD). All of the 2011 RZR's feature an all new frame, which is 6" longer than the previous models to accommodate the new engine choices. Polaris engineers boast that the new frame is 60% stronger than the previous models. The 2011 Polaris RZR-S, and RZR-4 share the option of the 950 engine along with the SE and LE RZR's, along with the 800 H.O. engine from previous model years. The suspension travel is increased to 14" on both models due to a new trailing arm setup in the rear, and longer A arms in the front. All 2011 RZR models will have a ROPS certified roll cage made from 1 3/4" chromoly tubing, along with 4 point racing harness style restraints. A few cosmetic changes are evident on all new models which include new styled plastic fenders, a redesigned roll cage, and a more aggressive styled front end. The new Polaris 950 engine is going to be used in multiple platforms, from the Ranger RZR models to the new 3 wheel "Striker" road bike, which will be released in the summer of 2010. The 950 engine is rated at an impressive 97 horsepower and 76 ft-lbs of torque. <<<

Thought the 500cc RZR is interesting, especially since Yamaha discontinued the 450... someone, at least, is sensitive to the entry-level pricing in this market...

Also the 6" longer frame, and stronger frame on all models. Wonder how the new wheelbase will compare...

LOOKS LIKE POLARIS IS STEPPING UP

after reading more on rzrforums i think this info is all BS. but who knows. i guess we will find out in 2 weeks

Don't think Johnny would have posted it if it was not true. Looks like Polaris wants to cover all the bases.

Alright!! We got us a SXS war!!!!

That sounds exciting! I hope its true! If Polaris does that, that may be the bike to have!!!!!

I am going to have to wait and see!

I hope this is true.

I agree, I don't think Johnny would have posted something that wasn't true

I just hope they come out with a new air intake set up and air box

I hope it's true also. The 941 cc is cool but the 500cc will bring more people into the sport. At $6799 it's alot easier to get into riding SxS's.

I dont know about all the stuff, but some of its true, the 941cc would be a weber, since polaris bought weber earlier this year thats no surprise if it happens. here is a link to some spy pics of the 2011 800 rzr, showing a new front end, under seat storage, 120mph speedo and other new stuff.

I wonder if that big motor will be reliable? Does Polaris have testing on that motor?

I hope it is true too!! I know there are a couple of people looking for a new machine in the group thats waiting to see everything. If Polaris really works hard at running with that Can Am then it ought to be a good war between the two for whos the best.

Im gonna sit back and watch them duke it out!

THERE WILL BE A RZR S AND RZR 4 WITH THE SAME 800HO MOTOR NEXT YEAR.
NOT SAYING THERE WILL NOT BE ONE WITH A BIGGER MOTOR, BUT THERE WILL BE A RZRS AND RZR4 WITH THE 800

AND IT IS TRUE THAT ALL THE RZR 50" MODELS WILL BE THE 800HO

well that just knocked my hopes for that big motor!

Not saying a big motor wont come out. that is just all the chassis polaris has reported that will have the 800cc motor in it.

if its something BRAND new polaris will hold out the testing until late so people dont find out about it way before the release.

the onlything ive ever really discovered on that site from year to year is the release of the outlaw 450 and just a few times that they will be putting a old motor, into a older chassis that has already been released at some point, just found the new combination on the site.

so like according to that chart, there will be no 2011 sportsman 800, just the 6x6 sportsman 800.

Humm... I hate waiting to find out when they already know!

come on big motor!!!!!!

I heard yesterday basically what was listed from UTV Crap and Carolina Polaris except that there was going to be 2 "S's for 2011. The one with the bigger motor will be coming out in late spring 2011 and it will have the 6" longer chasis to increase the cargo area. I was told to have a bigger motor there is actually a law stating that any UTV above 800cc's has to have a certain amount of cargo space.And that was the main reason that the new Can-Am had the big double cargo area in the back. The wait is killing me too.

I would stick with 800 cc IF they put on a E-BRAKE!!!! Ride Safe BIG HOSS
