Features & Benefits
LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED IRS
Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for a smoother ride.
MAXIMUM POWER AND FUNCTIONALITY
Enough power to tow 1,500 lbs. (680 kg) and carry 360 lbs. (163 kg) on the racks, plus the ability to accessorize in seconds with the Lock & Ride cargo system.
ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT
With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrower vehicle width at the knees (3.25" / 8.3cm) and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.
STRONG, POWERFUL ENGINE
The XP is powered by a gasoline 850cc twin 4-Stroke engine with SOHC and 4 valves per cylinder.
Optional ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS)
The smoothest, most responsive power steering available, with 30% more power assist than the leading competitor, plus Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds and greater responsiveness at higher speeds.
ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)
Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15 mph).
ANTI-KICKBACK STEERING
Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tire and having the long dual A-arm front suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts from rough terrain.
