The Polaris
RANGER line is the Hardest Working, Smoothest
Riding utility vehicles on the market offering full size, midsize, and
multi-passenger vehicles for hunt, farm and trail. For Model Year 2013,
Polaris will add two new vehicles to the already comprehensive line-up.
Defining an all new class of Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding is the
new full size
RANGER XP 900; and the new
RANGER 800
Midsize combines the 800cc engine with the midsize chassis for a
spirited, addition that adds another value model to the family.
Back for 2013 is the industry-leading, full size
RANGER 800 EFI, the standard of Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding but for
2013, Polaris also welcomes an all new class of Hardest Working,
Smoothest Riding with the new, full size
RANGER XP 900.
Innovations such as a new ProStar 900 engine, all-new chassis, new
restyled cockpit, more suspension, new flip-up seat storage, new Lock
& Ride™ PRO-FIT cab accessories, larger gas tank, easier
serviceability and a quieter ride due to engine repositioning define a
whole new class of utility side-by-side. The
RANGER XP 900 will join the
RANGER 800 EFI and
RANGER Diesel in the full size category.
Hard working vehicles need power and the
RANGER
XP 900 delivers a new class of power with its all-new ProStar 900
engine which churns 60 horsepower, a 20 percent increase, for
class-leading torque giving the
RANGER XP 900 the ability to
tow a class-leading one ton and haul 1000 lb/453.6 kg. The engine
delivers smooth power throughout the RPM range thanks to its dual
overhead cam design, 180 degree crank firing order and counterbalancing.
The throttle control is smooth at all speeds and gear selections,
including reverse. The
RANGERXP 900 also is quieter with the engine now located under the rear cargo box.
To complement the ProStar engine, the
RANGER XP 900 features a new, durable drivetrain built to handle the unit’s higher horsepower. It also boasts the strongest belt on a
RANGER
vehicle so it can tackle the toughest of jobs, and has powerful cooling
for the belt and clutches for optimal performance under all work
conditions.
Storage is important for work applications and the new
RANGER
XP 900 offers the most storage in its class. For easier accessibility,
the new under-seat storage features flip-up access giving the operator
increased and easier-accessible storage inside the cab, and the vehicle
features lots of in-dash storage you’ve grown to expect from
RANGER.
Outside the cab, the
RANGER
XP 900 offers a new harder working cargo box featuring more tie-down
points, easily-inserted box dividers and a smoother gate release. The
cargo box has a 1,000 lb/453.6 kg capacity, can fit a pallet and is
compatible with Lock & Ride accessories so it can tackle any hauling
project thrown its way.
The
RANGER XP 900 has a wide
variety of accessories available for a variety of work applications. To
ensure the unit is hard working, Polaris equipped it with a high
capacity battery and new stator for 30 percent more electrical power to
run more accessories at one time. The unit also features a new, easier
to install winch mount for faster installation of one of the most
popular accessories for a work vehicle.
Built exclusively for the new
RANGERXP
900, Pure Polaris is offering new PRO Accessories. The collection
includes a revolutionary, high-quality PRO-FIT line of cab accessories; a
versatile, premium-quality Glacier PRO Plow System; and durable Polaris
HD PRO Winches.
One of the most exciting, new accessory offerings available for
RANGER XP 900 is the new Lock & Ride™ PRO-FIT cab accessories designed for total integration with the newest
RANGER family member. The cab frame on the new
RANGER XP
900 features profile tubing, providing a 360-degree sealing surface for
every cab component. Windshields, roofs, doors and rear panels follow
the shape of the vehicle, locking directly into the cab frame’s
precision contours. Many PRO-FIT cab components feature
Polaris-exclusive Lock & Ride™ technology for quick and easy on and
off, and are 60 percent quieter at idle, and 40 percent quieter at 20
mph/32.2 kph.
For
work applications, PURE Polaris is offering a new Speedkey System that
is remarkably smooth at the top speed limiter. The Yellow key limits the
vehicles’ speed to 25 mph/40.2 km and is perfect for controlling speed
during work-related projects or when lower speeds are needed. Along with
these exciting products, Pure Polaris will have a full line up of
accessories for the
RANGER XP 900 making it one of the hardest working vehicles on the market.
To complement the hardest working features of the
RANGER
XP 900, the restyled cockpit and chassis are the new class of smoothest
riding. The completely redesigned cockpit fits three people more
comfortably and offers class-leading ergonomics. The lower seat, with
adjustable driver’s seat on Limited Edition models, and tilt steering
gives occupants more options in comfort, and the new seat belts are
easier to use. New center-mounted gauges give the operator one place to
look for ride data and the easy access to storage under the seat means
tasks are done quicker and more efficiently.
For an incredibly smooth ride and optimal handling, the
RANGER
XP 900 has an all-new chassis that is more rigid, with increased
torsional stiffness. This delivers a smoother ride, low vibration, and
the ability to tackle anything that stands in its way. The
RANGERXP
900 has easy steering with or without Electronic Power Steering (EPS),
and features 5 in/12.7 cm more wheelbase, 1 in/2.5 cm more travel and 12
in/30.5 cm of ground clearance. For increased visibility, the unit also
features 25 percent brighter head lights that project more than 30
percent further adding 100 ft/30.48 meters of additional visibility.
The
RANGER
XP 900 is not only a new class of “Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding,”
but also is easy to own and maintain. The wet sump engine, which offers
100 hours between service intervals, is easily accessed from under the
rear cargo box, and has an easily accessible oil check and fill. The
unit also features metric fasteners for most parts and grease zerks to
flush joints. For driver’s ease, there is fuel access on the driver’s
side and a 11 percent bigger gas tank that holds 10 gal/37.85 liters
making gassing up more convenient and less frequent.
The
RANGER
XP 900 is available in Sage Green and Solar Red, with or without EPS,
and Polaris Pursuit Camo. Limited Edition models include Sunset Red and
Orange Madness, both offered with or without EPS. A Browning EPS model
and an Audio Edition in Bronze Mist with an integrated Audio System
including two dash-mount speakers and will be sold in limited
quantities.
