The Review: 2021 Polaris RzR Turbo
The 2021 Polaris RZR XP Turbo blew my mind with a huge “BUCKET LOAD” of capability and its affordability!
The 2021 Polaris RZR XP Turbo doesn’t have a lot of options (pretty plain Jane)…. which is what I wanted. I like adding my own.
She has tons of get up and go, but is just a 64-inch track width, which means I can put all that power to work even in some of our narrow trails.
The 2021 Polaris RZR XP Turbo is the high-performance version of the XP 1000, and has almost 60 more horsepower and has bigger brakes to compensate. At 168 horsepower, the XP Turbo could embarrass a lot of cars.
She has Walker Evans Needle shocks that do fine….but I will probably at some point… replace them.
Coming from the XP 900 platform… the XP Turbo 1000 feels like a zooked up Cadillac. Its way more roomy and is a dream to drive. Adding the soft upper doors and being super creative with sealing up holes…we get about 95% less dust and dirt in the cab. A realistic climate controlled interior cab. And the co-pilot loves it….which is a major bonus!
The only upgrades for performance I’ve done is a Aftermarket Assassins clutch kit to handle the 32″ tall tires. With just over 1000 miles the Side Chick still will reach speeds of 75 to 80 mph in a hurry, the turbo just launches …. and routinely scares me. I haven’t ever been over 80 mph…but I can tell you there was still plenty of skinny pedal to go.
MY VERDICT:
Best money I’ve spent of the 4 RzR’s I’ve owned. This unit just seriously blows my mind…..the power can get you in trouble very quickly…. but that same power can get you out of tricky situations as well.
The wife loves the in cab room and loves its stance with the 32’s. She is still getting used to the power the turbo kicks out and she is easily startled when I get on it suddenly.
But ….. I’m not going to lie to you, I will probably not ever buy another Polaris product. There recalls and and there shitty customer service has lost my brand support. If I sold the Side Chick I would most definitely buy a Kawasaki KRX.
So there you have it …. I love this RzR…
And its a great product. It does all the things I want and need it to do at the right price.
