New RZR XP 900 4 Seater Released - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

It was supposed to come out 1.1.2012...but I think since it was the worst kept secret...they just released it early.

lincontaco · 12-20-2011, 07:59 PM

I wonder how many Rzr4's will be up on ebay at the beginning of the year. I'll keep my rzr4 until I just cant take it anymore and want the extra power. Where I ride those trailing arms just plain suck, but it might be something I could deal with with the extra power.

85blue4runner · 12-21-2011, 08:16 AM

that suspension sure looked like it was bottoming out a lot over the rougher terrain. Appeared to be four normal sized guys which could be anywhere from 600-800 pounds in people not including gear. You are looking at a rig that is well over 2000 pounds all up, banging through the whoops and sand.

I am surprised they didnt crank in some more power, 88hp is quick in a regular XP, but adding in all that extra weight just does seem like it would be as much fun. I would want larger tires and either a bit of lift or more travel. What do these things use for bump stops?

Where are the RZR's manufactured?

Todd W · 12-21-2011, 10:45 AM

I don't see the attraction to a 4 Seat RZR, like I don't see the attraction to a 2 Seat Polaris ATV which is nice to get from point A to B but just sucks the fun out of it when you are riding with 2 people.

Maybe in the dunes and wide open area 4 people cruising around having fun is the target market.

4 People in there rock crawling no way, looks super low to ground for rocks too and that long belly.

It's rather large for tight twisty trails let alone with 4 adults ???

Parents. You don't have kids, I'm guessing.

Larry has a RZR 4..so he can take wife and kids. He takes it to Moab all the time...says it does better than his S, because of the length.

American Rock Rods · 12-21-2011, 02:05 PM

Yep. 4 seat rzr's are great in Moab. The wheelbase helps a ton. Plus the kids in the back are having lots of fun!

I wouldn't want to do it with 4 adults however.

Crowdog · 12-21-2011, 07:48 PM

I get to ride the XP 4 in early January, then I will be bringing one home with me as a demo unit. Cannot wait!

wngrog · 12-22-2011, 10:21 AM

The 4 adds WAY more of everthing good and the downsides are very few compared to a 2 seater. Even without kids I would choose it over a 2 seater.

I can rockcrawl it fine with 4 people. If it gets crazy I kick them out, but you would be shocked what it will slide over if you pick the right line.

Trailtoyz · 12-29-2011, 10:31 AM

Wish they offered bench seats with harnesses as an option. We have a crew so we can load up all the kids and gear but the thing rides like a golf cart and is gutless. Looks perfect for the average american family with 2.5 kids tho

Crowdog · 01-18-2012, 08:00 PM

I went to the press intro and then to Glamis. Awesome machine. More details:

HeyBeerMan · 01-20-2012, 07:02 AM

The shocks on these 4 seaters offer way more control that what is offered on the 2 seaters. The extra wheelbase makes it faster through the whoops than the 2 seater and trail riding is noticably smoother.

It is plenty dam fast & capable with 4 adults.

I could have sworn this was an XP4. Maybe its just a custom job?

yes it is a custom XP4, XP that was just chopped and lengthened to be a 4 seater.

ventracing · 03-05-2012, 08:03 AM

The custom stretched ones are kinda better (probably similar cost) and they allow you to put the seats in the rear all the way on the ground, for a cooler looking chopped out cage and lower CG. But, then again, there is something to be said for a warranty

4 seater in my opinion is too long

I have not found it to be a limiting factor in anything. Even rockcrawling, you just have to pick you lines.

x2, My rzr4 will go up things (ledges, rocks etc..) that my friends in there 2 seaters will not even attempt anymore because the just end up on rolling backwards every time. If I bottom out on the first try I can usually back up and give it a "bump" and I'm good to go. I agree on the lines, mine are usually different than my friends in their 2 seaters; in the end we all normally make it up what ever we are trying. Especially with a spotters strap.

wngrog · 03-20-2012, 01:11 PM

Plus, there is little if any chance it will ever go over backwards. I will go up sick stuff and if it does not make it, it is super stable just backing off.

I would like to have the extra belly height and HP of the 900XP4 though....not gonna lie.

85blue4runner · 03-20-2012, 03:48 PM

come on Nolen, you are one of the kings of buying and selling shit. Get rid of that shitty RZR4 you have had for what, a whole year now and get an XP4... Then you need more suspension travel, turbo, cage, seats and harnesses, audio system, LED lights, winch, etc, etc, etc..

enigma2y0u · 03-21-2012, 04:08 AM

I was pretty nervous that it would be too long as well, but I took mine through some tight atv trails yesterday and it worked well. I was following an wildcat and I didn't have any trouble.

I thought that climbing banks out of washes and rock ledges would hold this thing up, but it must have just enough clearance for most situations.

As soon as I have some disposable income I am on it.

ventracing · 03-30-2012, 11:04 AM

they really are bad billy. I am stoked they finally made a 4 seater with balls.
