The Turbo R uses the current drivetrain, engine, trans, diff, etc..

 

The videos on the Turbo R on YouTube that Polaris put out clearly say lower low gear. And I they go out of their way in the video to say it. So that’s either a glaring mistake, or they finally wised up and put the Ranger low gear in it.

It says in the video and in print that it has a lower gear

 

It does say low gearing but they didn't say it was for the turbor and pro r unless I missed it somewhere. I'm really hoping that by this time next week we can have complete clarification of the exact mechanical parts in the turbo r. I'm assuming much of the pro xp is carrying over body and engine wise. But by the looks of the front frame bulkhead it looks like the front diff may be different than what is currently in a pro xp. I'm also curious of the brake size, what the skids look like, actual width of the machine with it at ride height on the ground, and what this "3 piece front sway bar" looks like. So many questions

 

UTV action magazine says IF the pro R uses the same bolt pattern as the M-RZR it would be 5/115 (5x4.5) which is Chevy bolt pattern. I have heard other people saying that it is the Chevy bolt pattern as well.

 

 

Id say the brakes are probably similar to the Turbo S triple piston front brakes. Idk why they would re design that.

 

The videos state that the brakes, and the suspension are virtually the same on the Pro R, and the Turbo R.

I think as things unravel were going to find even the turbo R have a ton of upgrades over the the old Turbo S, and 64” Pro XP.

So took a few observations today in the polaris accessories video on YouTube on the turbo r. This is most definitely not getting much handed down from the pro xp. From what I can tell by screen shots the front brakes are much larger with a actual 2 piece rotor with a removable hat, rear calipers are 3 piston with larger rotor, looks like full skid plates not just chancy half coverage, 3 pics front torsion style sway bar with aluminum arms, aluminum knuckles with ball joints actually facing the correct way unlike all previous ball joint setups, belt case and cover look just like the pro xp and belt intake tube looks the same as pro xp. Another thing that I noticed was the what looks like + offset on the wheel. The face and hub looks even further out towards the face of the wheel than the turbo s oem wheel was. Like possibly a 0/6 offset. That may make wheel options very tricky. I also noticed that 33s are a option you can get from the factory so it will most likely accept a 35 without any mods or issues. If u zoom in the the brakes it very clear everything has changed in that department.

 

Another observation I noticed was the base model turbo r comes with a walker 2.0 needle shock in front and a 2.5 in the back. I'm surprised to c that considering a base model turbo s velocity came with a walker 2 5" front a 3.0" rear shock.

 

I noticed the Polaris website changed the shock sizing to 2.5" front and 3" rear, FYI

 

The pro xp has a full belly skid. With excellent coverage. Unfortunately it’s just thin weak plastic. So not much actual bash protection.

I know the pro xp has a full skid because a friend of mine has a 2 seater. But the one on that turbo r looks like the washers are recessed into the plastic further than his on his pro. Hopefully this means it's at least 1/4" or 3/8 plastic.

 

If not Polaris will have failed big time on the R series RZRs.

A proper skid plate is critical if they want to claim they are ready to roll, and tough enough for serious off road use right off the showroom floor.

We will know soon I guess.

I've noticed in a few videos that the Pro R Ultimate comes with dual batteries. I was curious if anyone had an answer to if the Turbo R Ultimate would have the same feature.

 

I saw it on the Polaris build site for the turbo r 4 seater as an electrical upgrade for $105.

 

Regarding the dual battery set up, this is right off the web site on the Turbo R features page:

POWER UP YOUR DAY
RZR Turbo R makes it easy to feed them. There's a 900 watt, belt-driven alternator, auxiliary battery and 6-position bus bar for plug and play convenience.

 

Sorry but that’s definitely wrong.

The turbo R does NOT have a belt driven alternator. And I’m 99.99% sure it doesn’t have a second battery either.

I’m not arguing, but it states this clearly on the website on the turbo R page.
It’s going to be interesting how they address it when folks start getting their rigs.
I have a pro xp 4, ordered the Turbo r, I’m absolutely betting it doesn’t have a belt driven alternator.

It doesn't it has the same 900w stator as the Pro XP.

 

After two months you would have thought Polaris would have fixed that by now........

 

it looks like just the ultimates have 3.0 in the front and rear.....did they change that also?
