I rode a XP yesterday

Yesterday I stopped by the local PoPo dealer and they had a XP on the lot. Salesman said "hop in it and take it up on the hill behind the shop". Before he finished his sentence the motor was purring and away I went. All I can say is wow. I was much more impressed than the demo ride I had on the Can Am. Power was incredible, at high speed there was no front end push in the turns even on loose gravel. Another big plus is that PoPo has changed the clutch, down hill you no longer need to keep enough throttle to keep clutch engaged, back off of thottle and it stands on its nose. Steering seems a bit heavy but precise,although not as heavy as the Can AM. My only complaint is the tires, they just plain suck. I am going to wait and see how the 64 inch width does on trails, looks pretty intimidating. I am not so sure on the radiator placement either, it looks like it would be very easy to fill it with mud, but hey I am used to that, I am a Rhino jockey. Over all I would give it a strong 8. Next time I ride one of these bad boys I'll jump it and see how it reacts in the air.

Good review Rick! That xp has your name on it buddy!

RZR will look good behind that New Truck .....

It's sayin Rick please take me home.

Go for it Rick!!! You know you want it, LOL!!

THANKS FOR SHARING

you have been dreaming of it since you rode it...just do it...make it yours hahaha...it would look great in my garage but hell i just bought a 11 rzr s back in sept lol

i seen an xp today at the mall some dealership had a display up and wow...the size of this machine is crazy...i dont think it would be much for trail riding...i think this would be more of a beach buggy or dune machine...

The s is def still the wv Cadillac

By the way. Just FYI for the group. dry weight commander x is 1295.

XP dry weight is 1190. Thats only 105 pounds which ain't much. I know wet weight is way diff but crate to crate is only 105 pounds!

what dealership has one? RG ?

I gotta look at my first XP today. It is just way to big. It's not the width of the machine as much as the height. I think it's almost as big as a Jeep. I would love to see that kinda power in a RZR-S. After seeing one in person I lost all interest in owning one.

duel muzzys and a msd will add a lot to yours and its alot cheeper

^ everything I've seen said for the money its not worth the increase, have you had any luck with that set up?

just some info the team popo for gncc are having trouble with the trailing arms

I seen one today and there is no way that thing is going to do that good anywhere other than out west, WAY to big. We need a east cost edition rzr 900.

There was some guy on the RZR forum that said he drove it on tight trails and the width was ok but the trailing arms were another story.

I still think the S is the WV Cadillac.

man I dont know what he calls tight trails but I know that thing aint goin where I am, all that motor dont mean nothing if you cant use it

yes thats what i have thought since i have seen one...lost all intrest...but pack that power into the s and id be all for it

yep I agree I've lost all interest
