Polaris answering the Maverick

I have heard it some and got a firm word what Polaris may be doing to counter the Maverick. This is speculation but the word is Polaris has built a RZR xp with a boxed frame. Hopped up 900 pro star motor. Estimated HP is going to be 110-115. Going to be called the XP H.O.
Could be available as early as January. Its rumored to be already built because Polaris had people watching the patent office and saw the Maverick coming so they got right to work.
Time will tell.


Again this is talk but from alot of what I have heard, this is what is going to counter the Maverick.

I was told though after this, that will be polaris's ceiling.

On other news the 800 is still going nowhere from what a Polaris rep told me. If anything happens they will build a prostar 850 and replace the current 800 with but that could be 3 years away.
Polaris is going to be on a big push to push the 570. They are going to keep doing those up like the current LE's. They feel the 570 is going to be the most popular in the future.

I still think this is a good time to sit back and see what all happens. Too much going on out there in the sxs world.

More news ---- we will have to wait & see. All of this kind of talk, just makes me wonder what will be next. I just wish some of the other name brands would get more into th game. This kind of horsepower sure does sound good though. Thanks for the update TBone.

Wildcat baby

If the horsepower keeps going up that thing will be getting out run by the 170's.

I think wildcat will get on up there in a few more years though. They ain't come this far to be that underpowered

you get em Bobby!!

I will say it again who needs that much power in the woods the sand dunes yes but woods we can't top out the machines we got now in the woods

Come on now Bobby. Yes you can.

I'm not exactly slobbering for a new machine. I'm very happy with the machine I have. It has exceeded my expectations so far.

Still will be fun to watch the arms race.

Bob's correct on this one. In the woods, I can't use all the power my 09 800 has, let alone my XP. Maybe I just don't have HHR balls, or maybe I got more brains To stretch their legs I gotta find road. I have parked the XP for a bit and been running the old RZR lately anyway. I missed the old girl!!. Suspension is more important than power in WV. I think things are gonna get better for all of us anyway. Artic Cat has got a taste of the money in SXS's. I'd say were gonna have at least 3 manufacturers battling it out. If only Yamaha would get of their arse now!!

I know Drew, I completely understand. It will happen for you soon enough. I'm sure we all miss having you out there on the trail!

Well hopefully the parts are going to be available for the current xp owners to hop theirs up instead of having to sell and buy new....it seems to be parts out there now to build the xp up to 100+ ( other than turbo) but other than saying you have the highest horsepower most bada$$ beer wagon in the woods the power is cool but useless...........
On a side not horsepower in the maverick......whats the top speed?

ok, le me just say this , the subject is"polaris answer to the maverick". how the f did we get that. the maverick aint proved crap yet. i'd say the maverick is the answer to the popo XP and as my good buddy tbone likes to refer to my other buddy andys wildcat-----the wild pussy. just cause they built it dont mean crap. WV aint sand buggy dream land.

my yamaha / polaris dealer asked me if i wanted my name on the first YAMAHA sxs answer to the rzr that they got in. i told him yes. all he said was it was coming from yamaha.

Can Am= damn canadians=of course they build great jets.

this ought to stir up some shit.

The real question is , would can am have built the Maverick if it was not for the XP ? No they would not , they are only playing catch up and got lucky , Polais is the answer , brought a 100+ hp to market right after the anoucment of the maverick , now that is on the spot performance that polaris brings , so no other manufacturer puts it out there like polaris . Look at this group 85% Polaris for a reason .

i use every bit of my 800's power in the woods and trails. i also am a large guy, so my rig is a bit heavier than most. i find myself wishing/wanting more power ALOT!



that being said, im looking to trade my 2012 S LE in in jan when the new colors and stuff come out.



what ive heard about the new thing, is its not going to replace the XP but be a addition to the line. one of my local dealers said it was suposed to be bigger, wider etc than the xp and geared more towards the dunes.



my hopes is it will make some good deals on 12/13 XP's and i an get a good deal.

I waiting on turbine power, that's what I'm talking about. Ain't that right Jet?

whoever says they cant use more hp in the wood cant drive
