Same old engine, more weight due to heavier tires/wheels, silly accessories. $15k plus? No thanks!

 

Looks like the '08 I have with all the accessories I have put on, with a warranty!

And the silly ones I have put on as well.

I would buy it!

 

I think personally it's great, now you can buy one turn key and go ride. No need to waste time buying and installing all those parts unless you choose to.

 

So basically it is a regular RZR with S flares, some 26" tires, a roof, and shocks. BFD.

Still a gutless slug.

 

A gutless slug?? I wouldn't go that far.
My 2013 Rzr S has plenty of power for everything I do and I like to raise hell and go fast.
Sure you can never have enough power but I definitely wouldn't call the 800 gutless. My "little" 800-S LE will destroy a Commander 1000 through the rough stuff no problem every time.

But I would love it if they would make a 60" XC-900...I would buy one!

Looks great!!
Don't think id call it gutless.

I like the looks and idea, but agree with the 800 it's nothing great. Had they put the 900 in it, I think they would sell a lot.

 

Yea they just don't sale many 800s do they.

In my area most dealers don't even keep XP's in stock because they don't sell around here.
I would say 95% of what they sell are 800's.

I think its a kick in the balls for the trail guys. Basically what everybody already has just added the accessories from the factory. Hell they could have at least updated the body and interrior like the 1000. The 1000 does look very impressive. Huge improvement over the old platform.

 

My post was an attempt at humor.About all they sale here is 800s also

My hope is that this model was created to keep the market interested long enough to produce the next best thing like the Jagged X was. Sometime soon the 800 platform will have to be upgraded... not to say that I don't love my S le but the Pro Star engine in an A-arm chassis would be fantastic, even better with the stronger chassis, new look and better interior!

When it finally comes, it'll be worth the wait. (I hope)

well, this is my first Rzr and there is no way I can do the add ons myself for what they can sell this one for.

12,489 for an EPS Blue Fire.
600. for a used set of Dragon Fire Bead Locks with bighorns on them
500. for doors
270. for windshield
300. for Roof
200. for rear windshield
250. for S flares
1300. for used King Shocks

That's 15,900 and I had to find some things Used...

Of course, I also added front and rear bumpers and done some cage mods too...

But all in all, I think this thing is a good buy and will Sell and Sell quickly.

 

Wait a minute...

IS the XC coming with doors, Roof and other stuff? I was thinking it was like the Jagged X model which already come tricked out...??

 

From what I gathered yesterday, you get an 800 with
1. power steering
2. upgraded shocks
3. upgraded seats
4. led headlamps
5. upgraded rims
6. upgraded tires (which turn it into a 55" machine)
7. fender flares

 

It looks cool, I'd buy it if.....

(Side note) OK, the 800 has the "S" model which gives extra width, more ground clearance, bigger wheels and a more aggressive look.

....so I'd buy it if it had been a 570XC, you know more width, more ground clearance, bigger wheels and a more aggressive look.

 

I am a little disappointed in the fact that this is the only trail machine released this year. And it seems to be on the last page of the release. Like here trail guys, this is what you get. For the sand riders, they released the XP, then the XP 4, then the Jagged X, then the 1000. For the trail guys, nothing new so to speak in the last 2 years.
I will say that they have made a machine that is pretty much trail ready. I spent $5K after the $9995.00 for a new 09 STD. That was just to make it trail ready. Then added another $3K on stereo, more lights etc. This does look out-of-the-box ready o ride.
AC just announced a 50 inch wide WC. To be in dealers showrooms 4th Q of 2014! That is one hell of a wait!

 

55" wide...useless in my territory. All the good trails are limited to 50". Now, if they offered the same package in a 50, I'd be interested. WE shocks, doors, 26 inch Horns, upgraded seats, for $15,300? Can't build it for that. If the 900 were in it...I'd have to find someone to buy a kidney, cause I'd have to have it!



I'm with you, I'm not jumping on anything new from Polaris until I see what AC has to offer. Polaris has ignored the 50" trail guys becauses they were the only game in town and didn't see the need to spend any money making the product better.

 

900 power in this and i would buy one.

Not paying $16k for an 800. Loved my S but the 800 wont be around much longer.

 

They can't (don't) do everything in a single year. "Next year" is the year for us trail guys... Hahahah.

That's why a turbo is still such a great addition to a 60" 800.

 

Still haven't improved the ball joints, a-arm bushings, and other fit/finish items on it either.

 

I wonder if that was improved on the 1000xp?

 

Three of my friends have bought a total of 3 800s and 1 570 in the last year. The sales are still there. Dont worry about having something new for the trail guys...if polaris wants to drag their feet and become a west coast manufacturer, i'll bet one of the other manufacturers will leap past them...and it might be someone you don't expect.

 

I must admit, I was really hoping for a 75 horse S model. :sad:

I know they already have the motor...it is in their XP 4 wheelers.

The only thing I can think of is the West coast must account for most
of their sales... because the only thing you can do around my area (western NC) with a big XP machine is either race tracks that are already built for this size machine...or ride some gravel roads. And there really is no gravel roads left.

And, the height is just as much of a problem as the width on our available trails

 

Lol if someone came out with a little more roomy , smoother riding trail machine it would sell.

 

Anyone have any ideas what the new 50 inch wide wildcat will be like?

 

Good question... I haven't really saw any specs on it yet. If it has 13" of travel, good tires,
AND 70 horse, it will definitely be a game changer in the trail class

 

It means I will have one LOL!!!!

 

Plenty of Mavericks, xp900, and wildcats on the trails here in KY the extra 4" of width over the S modek isn't going to decrease the fun factor one bit in my opinion. The LT suspension soaks up majority of the trail obstacles' and the power on tap is exciting.

I think most of us are limited to 50-55". Ohio trails are 50", but you can get by being a little wider. I think the only thing making this XC 55" is the wheels (less backspace), so if they would have put a 900 in this, I'm thinking switch the wheels to the std RZR wheels and you could be at about 50"! IMO this is cool and all, but nothing I'd consider getting rid of my 2011 WE for...now if it had the 900, I'd already have a deposit on one!

 

WE model in the 50" is cool. My wife wanted the EPS and they didnt have a WE model in 13.

I did just find some king shocks tho... so with the suspension and wheel upgrade, i have basically built their new XC version.

The wife and boys have pretty much claimed this one tho, so I was hoping for a meaner trail
Machine.
