White, Silver, Orange, Blue, and Red. Its about $1000 more the limited, and the only benefit is the tires. The only colored pastic is the front part. The rest is black with stickers, so you can buy a red one buy tires for around $400 and paint the front plastic whatever color you want.

2 colors for the XP 4 seater

that **** sucks. what i dont understand is why do they keep selling them knowing they have bad springs in the head. i guess there just hopein people dont hear about it and that the motor blows so they can try no to take responsibility for it so they dont have to eat the cost of fixin it.

FroggF350 · Feb 3, 2012

Checked on my rzr and is NOT part od the recall.

TNrzrs · Feb 3, 2012

you got lucky man i dont thank there is to many that aint. im glad its not though.

I've had an 800 s, what are the major advantages of the 900 that makes it worth so much more $. I would like to look into buying one myself, but that's a large commitment for a sxs. I would be climbing in it alot, so I'm sure the wheelbase helps, but what about the width? Can you still go to these state owned parks and ride the trails, or is it to wide?

SilverStarCustoms · Feb 8, 2012

It's 66" wide stock.
The 4WD system doesn't kick out when shifting.
Stronger Front Diff.
Better Suspension.
Wheelbase will help climbing.
Lots more power.

Those are some of the things that I'm aware of. I bought a 900 XP just before we went to the Baja 1000. It's the first SXS I've had so I can compare personally.

That's the only thing that turns me away from the 900 is just the overall size, alot of trails would be tight! Somewhere like Windrock, Royal Blue etc they would probably be fine! I wish they would put the 900 motor in a standard S!

XP is 64" wide, 4" wider then a s. They have pretty much the Same 4wd systems. XP does have way better suspension. Well worth the money for the XP imo

Also all rzr front diffs are the same in 2011's only difference is xp's have billet aluminum Sprague cages while the 800s have cast aluminum cages

Twice the power, this thing will smoke the tires on pavement, and bust donuts like a turbo 800... I havent got to run in the woods, so no opinion on that. CSC Fab is putting mine under the knife before I take it to the woods. Getting new lower A-Arms, high clearance trailing arms, high clearance trac bars, rock sliders, and full skid plate.

What about a cage?
