Re: Turf Mode - Is it possible?

Another pure-utility feature is a rear differential Polaris calls "Turf" mode. Just like your family car, Turf mode causes only one wheel at a time to drive the ATV, which makes for tighter turning and easier steering at the expense of overall traction. This can be used on tight trails for less steering effort or so the ATP will cause less wear and tear on the riding surface, especially useful on lawns or golf courses. Turf mode comes in addition to the normal two- and four-wheel-drives.

However you're not the first one to ask

"turf mode" rzr - Google Search

and it looks like no.

If you've ever rode a 4 wheeler with turf mode you would love it. It steers much easier and you can turn much sharper, it handles better on hard surfaces also. Thanks guys.

Re: Turf Mode - Is it possible?

turf mode simply means it has a locking type differential in the back that you can lock or not..
because the rzr and ranger drivelines are so dramatically different, the ranger piece isnt a bolt in for the rzr.
theres not a whole lot of room in the rear diff cage to put a bigger rearend in with turf mode, plus the weight of it and i think the rearend of a rzr is weak enough now.. i'm hearing the the mx racer guys are blowing their pinion housings up like crazy.. that makes me a little nervous..
when i first bought mine and i was waiting for it to arrive, my dealer told me the rzr had turf mode. he said the awd switch was a 3 position switch = turf mode, 2wd, awd

i'm still looking for that switch

Most dealers I've talk to don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Turf mode is easy, just remove one of the rear axles!

Re: Turf Mode - Is it possible?

I agree with Arzeear The turf mode would be a nice option to have for trail riding. My wife's XP has it and it allows it to turn much sharper then when in the locked setting. Very cool when in a tight spot on a trail for sure!
