Only go with the pro if you are going to race. You will never out drive the xp1000

 

Slight edit to this statement although 95% true: "...in normal driving conditions."

Most people would never be able to out drive a Toyota Camry, so why buy a Corvette? Most people would never need anything bigger than a 1/2ton truck, so way so many have 3/4tons, etc... Same could be said about hunting and gun calibers.

You dont buy the Pro XP with the intent to go balls to the wall and race down the trails; you buy it for that 5% of the time that you want it and you'd never be able to do with a XP1000. Side by side comparison, in any situation you could possibly come up with, the Pro XP will beat the XP1000 and it has nothing to do with driving skill, the PXP is that much better.

Story: riding with a buddy on the trails there is a section of lose sand about a 1/4mi long. I was in back with my PXP and they were leading with a XP1000. I turned on 4wd and past him like he was standing still and I had a smile on my face a mile wide; thats why I have a PXP! There is nothing even the best driver in the world on that machine could have done in that situation, even if they out drove the XP1000 and I didnt even come close to scratching the surface of the PXP.

IMO the only consideration between the 2 should be budget, which is relative to the buyer. This is not something I or anyone else could tell you, and you'd have to decide for yourself if its worth it.

 

thx for your inputs

 

When I bought my new machine it was a toss-up between a PXP and a KRX. I was about to decide when the '24 XP was released.

Once I saw the new XP, which is superior in just about every way to the pre-2023 XP's, I knew it was going to be my new machine.

My hesitancy on the KRX was that I didn't want to have to learn the quirks of a different brand and the new XP fixed that.

Is the PXP a better machine? Absolutely. But is it a better machine for you is the question.

My only negative on the '24XP is I think the Ultimate should have come with Dynamix, but then you are putting the price point closer to the PXP so probably why they didn't.

You really can't go wrong with either one.

 

looking at the stats on 2024 rzr xp 1000 being new from the up beefier than the 2023 that should work me thx

 

If you are still on the fence then I would suggest that you test drive both and then choose.

 

I owned a 2021 XP1K Premium and a now have a 2022 PXP Ultimate and IMHO there isn't a comparison. We many ride in the desert but we also sometimes ride up in national forests and the PXP does not disappoint.

 

thx for the info

 

They're both great trail cars, both 64" wide. The pro has much more hp and turbo can be tuned to put out even more hp. The pro is also a lot beafier in almost every way..

But for just gravel travel the xp 1000 would do just fine

 

which would be best for trail riding and gravel travel ,i should have made self clearer sorry.

 

They are both built for the same thing, but the Pro is superior in every way/shape/form other than the $$$COST$$$. Power, suspension, frame, aftermarket, etc etc etc... you name it, the Pro is better than the XP 1000.

Sorry, but this is the dumbest question:
Whats better on gravel = PXP
Whats better on trail = PXP
Whats better on sand = PXP
Whats better in mud = PXP
Whats better rock crawler = PXP
Whats more reliable = PXP, the '24 XP1000 is a new refresh remains to be seen long term but the PXP is rock solid!
... but I cant afford a PXP, then why are you even asking?

PLAIN AND SIMPLE - If you are asking the question, then I assume you have the budget, in which case the decision is that easy, Pro, end of story!

 

Youtube and Polaris' website has lots of info to compare. The biggest is 60% HP difference.....
