The 2014 RZR XP 1000 shown here will feature additional horsepower in model year 2015.
Polaris recently introduced the 2015 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 which feature a 110 horsepower high output engine compared to 107 hp in the 2014 model. The 2015 models feature additional changes related to the boost in horsepower including:
- New engine calibration with high-output cams, stiffer valve springs and a higher compression ratio of 11:1.
- Revised exhaust system, incorporating closed loop control and catalyst technology improves emissions and efficiency.
- New direct flow intake covers, new belt and a new clutch cover with more ducting providing two times more airflow directly to the clutches
The RZR XP 1000 will be available in Havasu Red Pearl, Voodoo Blue and White Lightning, and the RZR XP 4 1000 in Havasu Red Pearl and Voodoo Blue. All units feature standard Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and will be available in dealerships starting in July. Learn more: Polaris.com
Comment: The competition in the side by side market remains strong. In the high performance sport segment horsepower is one of the areas where competitors try to outdo each other. Suspension travel and handling are not far behind. I expect to see some new models or updates from Arctic Cat and/or Can Am in this segment.
