The group I ride with likes to race, always has, and I have been wondering how the 900 trail stands up. Well we finally got together and done some racing. The RZR it is racing is a brand new Highlifter 1000 bone stock. The 900 has no performance mods (yet) unless you count a snorkel. The 900 is also on 28 inch tires and lifted with bumpers and a winch (which the HL has too). See what yall think.



Also if anybody was wondering, I have been a lot, what a trail will do against a fourwheeler. This is the same 900 against a far from stock Brute Force 750 it is on 30s btw.

The 900 50" (trail model) is the fastest out of all the 900's Polaris makes. I personal like the XC even though its slowest, I like the 55" width not to narrow and not to wide perfect for trail riding IMO. Just wish they would make version without the GPS/Bluetooth display screen it would drop the price cpl thousand

So if y'all drag race just like the videos I posted its a 3 way tie?

Your talking about .3 difference between the XC and the 900S. Faster on paper yes, but take it to the road or dirt. Unless each person is hammering the gas at the exact same second, each machine gets the same amount of traction, you wont have the same outcome PAL!!! You dont have your machine listed but if its a 900 I would love you race!

O yea that's true, my step Dad owns a Polaris dealership. We've raced every RZR model many many times and out of the 900's the trail was always the quickest, don't get me wrong I love the XC it's my favorite outta the 900's but we don't keep it in our inventory anymore because it doesn't sell well for us. I wasn't tryin to make you upset of argue sorry if it seemed that way

No problem man :ride:. I love my XC, the width is perfect for the trails but I like how my buddies S stance looks better however he gets stuck between trees a lot. Now the other guy with the trail always looks top heavy on any rocks. So glad I didnt go with that one. HE also sucks at driving so that may be a lot of it as well. lol. Think I want to get the ECU flashed next :)

ECU flashed can do wonders, as well as the proper clutch kit. But I agree the 50" 900 trail model is a lil to narrow for how I ride. The 55" XC is the ultimate trail model RZR it's not too narrow and not to wide. But if I was going to buy a new RZR it'd be the 1000S It's got tons of power
