For the most part I'm satisfied
I've found so many of the M6 Screws in the body panels that are stripped, either the screw itself or the cheesy clips. The Fit of the machine is terrible, I had to take the complete rear of the RZR apart, and adjust/Shim the panels to get the Cargo Bin to even sit in the body. The right side was so far off, when they assembled it, they pulled one of the 4 clips completely out of the adjoining panel. It was off over 3/8" !! Even had two screws in the PS floor missing!
For the most part it's a great ride. Love the Dynamix, Ride Command, and the Seats!

Terrible product
Wish I had never bought it. It’s been to the shop twice since I bought it in April. It’s still currently in the shop where it has been sitting for the last month and one week. It won’t run and the mechanics and Polaris can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with it. Didn’t pay this much money for a piece of junk. I’ve missed so many rides that we’ve had scheduled this summer because of it being broke. When it gets out of the shop I am highly considering selling it and getting a new can am x3. I have 3 friends that we’re going to buy RZRs but they saw how well mine worked and all decided to buy something different. Polaris and my local dealer definitely need to make this situation right but I have very low confidence that will happen.

Great off-road vehicle but...
Our 2019 RZR XP 1000 Dynamix White Lightning is awesome. But if you are wanting it to stay white... it's not going to happen. Our first pressure wash to get to mud off has destroyed most of the decals and paint... a problem we did not have with our first two RZRs. For the price we have paid for this new and improved RZR, I would expect a better paint and decal job. I will say I am impressed with the different suspensions, we especially like riding in sport for our typical trail rides but firm and comfort may get your friends and family who are worried about hitting bumps and feeling uncomfortable on one of these machines. Again, great machine, poor paint and decal job.

Falling apart first two months we've had it now
I bought this I believe 2 months ago and so far the clutch cover started rubbing. The first "real" ride I got to take it on was fun. Washed it with a garden hose and what do you know it wont stay running anymore. I dont think I even have 300 miles on it yet. I hate how all of the ECM wires are completely exposed to weather, mud, bushes, and debree. When it runs it's fun. Seems like it's going to be a shop queen. Hate to say this since I've only ever owned polaris. Even my sleds are polaris. I guess itll be a lesson learned if it keeps.falling apart....a real expensive one. Thanks Kole.

fighter jet experience without the price tag
Shopped for months and had to have ride command features, this bike is like riding a jet through the woods!! Great format for my build, ride command unit is impressive because it is a great balance of cutting edge tech, proven simplicity of naturally aspirated engine, excellent suspension and VALUE. From the tires up this unit is made to rip trails tracking with buddies or just cruise with wife in style. Low gear was perfect for the steep technical riding in the WV Mountains while having the maps displayed is awesome reassuring you are directionally correct. Keep up the great work Polaris, you have a customer for life!!

Bad shocks and cylinder misfire
I bought the RZR in May right before Mother’s Day. I thought what an awesome purchase to ride with our friends. The RZR only has about 1000 miles or hours on it. And the shocks have been messed up since the day we got it. But we have always had Polaris which have all been great. The dealership at mountain motorsports in Sevierville has had okay service. But will not fix the shocks because it doesn’t throw a code or engine light when we take it. Now today we replaced the belt and it will only run 60 mph to the floor and then bogs down to 50 mph. Unsure if it the clutch or what. Dealer is closed so we will be call tomorrow on 8/7/20. Hoping someone will help us.

Love it! Few Complaints Though
I bought this machine about 5 months ago. So far I like it. It almost has enough bottom end power to keep up with the turboed machines and it handles pretty well. My only complaint is that it seems to be made a little on the cheap side. For instance, the shocks aren't true dual rate springs. After a while, the top part of the spring with completely compress and won't spring back up. Secondly, I broke an axle climbing a sand hill. Shortly after I realized that my rear prop shaft was bent. I feel this shouldn't have happened and they should be built to hold up to nearly whatever that you throw at it. But overall, I'm happy.

Excellent Machine for Back Roads and Geocaching
We bought the White Lightning because our S900 was getting to high mileage and we were concerned about having problems when in the outback of Arizona while Geocaching. Further, we wanted the active suspension for our tired backs as we travel over lots of rocky trails. The suspension proved great!
We absolutely love the Ride Command/ GPS unit as it is very helpful during our Geocaching excursions. We loaded 500 caches into a USB memory stick, loaded them into the device and they all showed up in the map screen. Then selecting each one, the arrow helped direct us to the cache. This device was much easier to read than our old hand held GPS units.

GO ANYWHERE, GREAT FUN!!
I purchased an one-seater RS1 RZR several months ago and I really enjoy it, but wanted to be able to share the fun with my family members and friends...so I purchased a two-seater XP 1000 RZR! I definitely appreciate the fact that RZR's are extremely fast with lots of horsepower, and will go practically anywhere--backroads, trails, rock climbing, mud bogging and everything in between, while at the same time keeping the occupants safe (with a roll cage, seat belts, etc.) and comfortable (with automotive-type seats, full suspension with huge travel capabilities, etc.). I love both my RZR's and look forward to many years and miles of fun in the future!

For the most part I'm satisfied
I've found so many of the M6 Screws in the body panels that are stripped, either the screw itself or the cheesy clips. The Fit of the machine is terrible, I had to take the complete rear of the RZR apart, and adjust/Shim the panels to get the Cargo Bin to even sit in the body. The right side was so far off, when they assembled it, they pulled one of the 4 clips completely out of the adjoining panel. It was off over 3/8" !! Even had two screws in the PS floor missing!

First new ride
Overall love the machine. Very disappointed in the fact that the tender springs are completely collapsed with less than 200 miles and I dont have the advertised ground clearance without purchasing new springs.
Also experiencing some belt slip at wot. Belt was broken in as per the dealer recommendations at have belt slippage at high speed. After researching online I have discovered this is a common problem and a clutch kit is the answer to this. Machine has no added weight other than a winch on the front,a plastic roof windsheild,roof,and rear window. Really disappointed that after spending 27,000 I still need to spend more to get it the way it should be from the start

4.5 stars, great machine
I use the machine for primarily sand dunes. It’s much more refined and driver focused than my previous 900 xp model. The Dynamix suspension is an amazing upgrade and reacts quickly. The power and acceleration are very good also. The fit and finish is really nice and the touch screen display adds to a justification of cost to the machine. The sound system isn’t what it’s cracked up to be as it has to be at nearly max volume to hear it only at low speeds because of the engine noise. Need a headset to enjoy and to not annoy everyone around you with your music. You get a lot machine for a lot of money.

Big improvement over XP 1000 platform
Inequality of the RZR is by far better than past or zero models the pro platform is a much more solid foundation and you can feel it while driving. My two complaints that I have about it are the factory Coral springs are not quality at all same issues as in past models. I upgraded those myself. The other issue was a clutch alignment which I fixed myself as well adding two shims to the secondary these are things that should be resolved by Polaris. Other than that and machine has been very good it handles everything you throw at it and it's very versatile machine. Definitely the best of rhe RZR's

Already recalled and waste of money and time
Had issues with my 2016 HL due to the computer and recalls so I got rid of it and bought a 2018. Two weeks later I get a recall notice again.
Now, my other complaint is with the service on parts and reliability. I broke a tie rod and was told by Polaris that I have to replace the entire rack n pinion. Where does one find a complete rack while out riding. Tie rods are no problem to find and one from a turbo ended up fixing it after a week of research on forums.
I’ve wasted countless dollars trying to enjoy these Polaris RZR’s at parks and on family trips only to be let down while riding. I am ready to move on from Polaris and get a Honda for their reliability and countless of hours of fun instead of frustration.

I have been looking for a good sxs and there so many options out there but polaris has been making the rzr for awhile and the high lifter edition is a great option and I'm glad I purchased the sxs because it is a turn key mud machine and I have had my 19 hl edition for 2months now and have taken it to mud parks and it surprises me every time with what this machine can do and how enjoyable it is . You can not go wrong with polaris , the only thing I wish is for more bed/cargo area or if they made a general hl edition I would also purchase it, but if your in the market for a new sxs you cant beat the rzr highlifter edition and you wont regret it.

Nice ride
I have had my 2019 for about three months and I really like the looks and concept of it but just so disappointed in the quality vs price it’s got power and the handling is great it’s just so many small cheep parts that cause all sorts of problems the squeaks and rattles are everywhere along with popping noises every time you turn the wheel or on a rough trail it’s just small stuff but it’s a lot and I figured if the aftermarket can figure out how to solve the problems then a monster sized company could do even better,that being said people will spend the money as I did because it is a lot of fun

Great machine but Polaris doesn't honour warranty
With only about 50 hours on my xp high lifter I somehow bent the main prop shaft. I don't know how I did it, wasn't jumping or abusing it. Dealer tried to get Polaris to warranty the repair and they refused. I am not impressed. This is my third rzr and I do love it but this is not the way to treat a good customer!!!

my new RXR XP 1000 HL handles great, it hit those mud hole hard and can get out of some sticky situations with the Outlaw 2 tires with sidewall grips. the tall snorkels lets me get into some deep waters and the rear view mirror is a nice feature.This machine will inspire you to get outside.

Not Happy
I was “given” an opportunity to purchase another vehicle as my 2016 RZR was riddled with issue and spent more time in the shop than on a trail. So, after it caught fire I was “given” a credit toward a new machine. Not real happy about that or how it was handled. So, anyway, I upgraded to the 2018 HL. It is talked up like these machines can handle a beat down, but my experience is about the same as the last one so far. One ride and it required a new clutch. Then I get a recall notice that says the 2018 RZRs are having an issue that could result in heat damage. Wow, hear we go again. Oh...and no one lets you test ride them, so you kind of have to know what you want ahead of time.

For the most part I'm satisfied
I've found so many of the M6 Screws in the body panels that are stripped, either the screw itself or the cheesy clips. The Fit of the machine is terrible, I had to take the complete rear of the RZR apart, and adjust/Shim the panels to get the Cargo Bin to even sit in the body. The right side was so far off, when they assembled it, they pulled one of the 4 clips completely out of the adjoining panel. It was off over 3/8" !! Even had two screws in the PS floor missing!
For the most part it's a great ride. Love the Dynamix, Ride Command, and the Seats!
I would think for the money, it would come with a roof and the missing parts of the doors?

20 RZR Pro XP
I bought my Pro XP in July 20
The machine itself I love with the exception of a few things. 1) Ground clearance is not as claimed after 100 miles tender springs completely collapsed. 2) Suspension travel is not as claimed. Not very stable rock crawling, or not as good as the older XP 1000. 3) The No Ride - No Sale for the Primary Clutch. This is going on for over a month and dealerships have no clue for a fix or no parts to fix with.
Power, Handling, and Ride are incredibly. Love the Ride Command and being able to link with other riders. Other than the 3 things I have mentioned previously. This is one awesome machine.

First new ride
Overall love the machine. Very disappointed in the fact that the tender springs are completely collapsed with less than 200 miles and I dont have the advertised ground clearance without purchasing new springs.
Also experiencing some belt slip at wot. Belt was broken in as per the dealer recommendations at have belt slippage at high speed. After researching online I have discovered this is a common problem and a clutch kit is the answer to this. Machine has no added weight other than a winch on the front,a plastic roof windsheild,roof,and rear window. Really disappointed that after spending 27,000 I still need to spend more to get it the way it should be from the start

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Lovely, picked up my new RZR XP 4 Ultimate on November 29th only to receive a Ride Stop warning not to drive it because of an issue with a
leak involving the fuel pump, gas tank that could catch fire that night. Now on December 23 no parts have been sent to fix the problem and my six month warranty is ticking down. Friends are in town for Christmas hoping to ride and my new sleigh is sitting in my garage in Arizona waiting indefinitely for a fix. Thanks Polaris for the coal in my stocking.

4.5 stars, great machine
I use the machine for primarily sand dunes. It’s much more refined and driver focused than my previous 900 xp model. The Dynamix suspension is an amazing upgrade and reacts quickly. The power and acceleration are very good also. The fit and finish is really nice and the touch screen display adds to a justification of cost to the machine. The sound system isn’t what it’s cracked up to be as it has to be at nearly max volume to hear it only at low speeds because of the engine noise. Need a headset to enjoy and to not annoy everyone around you with your music. You get a lot machine for a lot of money.

Looks cool , fast awesome
I bought this 4 months ago , only have 300 miles on, very fast , limited to all Polaris parts- after market stuff will be harder to install,Polaris wants you to buy all there brands at double the price, in summer wear shorts- u will be sweating bad from engine heat- very much sucks, and make sure to bring a lot of towels one small puddle and u will be wet along with windshield covered in mud- if u wipe windshield with rag- you will scratch up You will have to replace in 2 years I’d say at this rate, with only 2 trips—very poor design with front tire sticking out, doors rattle tremendously also, sounds like it’s 20 years old,

Big improvement over XP 1000 platform
Inequality of the RZR is by far better than past or zero models the pro platform is a much more solid foundation and you can feel it while driving. My two complaints that I have about it are the factory Coral springs are not quality at all same issues as in past models. I upgraded those myself. The other issue was a clutch alignment which I fixed myself as well adding two shims to the secondary these are things that should be resolved by Polaris. Other than that and machine has been very good it handles everything you throw at it and it's very versatile machine. Definitely the best of rhe RZR's

Overall great machine
Bought this mid July of this year and it’s been great overall. I unfortunately had to buy a clutch kit and belt to help with the high rpm belt slip that Polaris said was normal. After I spent the money on that this thing is awesome! I am also going to have to spend the money on shipping my front shocks to walker Evans to have the seals fixed even though Polaris said that was normal. Walker Evans said that was not normal when I contacted them directly. I love the Pro Xp and wouldn’t consider anything else but it would be nice if Polaris would warranty issues with their product.

Terrible product
Wish I had never bought it. It’s been to the shop twice since I bought it in April. It’s still currently in the shop where it has been sitting for the last month and one week. It won’t run and the mechanics and Polaris can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with it. Didn’t pay this much money for a piece of junk. I’ve missed so many rides that we’ve had scheduled this summer because of it being broke. When it gets out of the shop I am highly considering selling it and getting a new can am x3. I have 3 friends that we’re going to buy RZRs but they saw how well mine worked and all decided to buy something different. Polaris and my local dealer definitely need to make this situation right but I have very low confidence that will happen.

Great off-road vehicle but...
Our 2019 RZR XP 1000 Dynamix White Lightning is awesome. But if you are wanting it to stay white... it's not going to happen. Our first pressure wash to get to mud off has destroyed most of the decals and paint... a problem we did not have with our first two RZRs. For the price we have paid for this new and improved RZR, I would expect a better paint and decal job. I will say I am impressed with the different suspensions, we especially like riding in sport for our typical trail rides but firm and comfort may get your friends and family who are worried about hitting bumps and feeling uncomfortable on one of these machines. Again, great machine, poor paint and decal job.

Falling apart first two months we've had it now
I bought this I believe 2 months ago and so far the clutch cover started rubbing. The first "real" ride I got to take it on was fun. Washed it with a garden hose and what do you know it wont stay running anymore. I dont think I even have 300 miles on it yet. I hate how all of the ECM wires are completely exposed to weather, mud, bushes, and debree. When it runs it's fun. Seems like it's going to be a shop queen. Hate to say this since I've only ever owned polaris. Even my sleds are polaris. I guess itll be a lesson learned if it keeps.falling apart....a real expensive one. Thanks Kole.

fighter jet experience without the price tag
Shopped for months and had to have ride command features, this bike is like riding a jet through the woods!! Great format for my build, ride command unit is impressive because it is a great balance of cutting edge tech, proven simplicity of naturally aspirated engine, excellent suspension and VALUE. From the tires up this unit is made to rip trails tracking with buddies or just cruise with wife in style. Low gear was perfect for the steep technical riding in the WV Mountains while having the maps displayed is awesome reassuring you are directionally correct. Keep up the great work Polaris, you have a customer for life!!

Bad shocks and cylinder misfire
I bought the RZR in May right before Mother’s Day. I thought what an awesome purchase to ride with our friends. The RZR only has about 1000 miles or hours on it. And the shocks have been messed up since the day we got it. But we have always had Polaris which have all been great. The dealership at mountain motorsports in Sevierville has had okay service. But will not fix the shocks because it doesn’t throw a code or engine light when we take it. Now today we replaced the belt and it will only run 60 mph to the floor and then bogs down to 50 mph. Unsure if it the clutch or what. Dealer is closed so we will be call tomorrow on 8/7/20. Hoping someone will help us.

Love it! Few Complaints Though
I bought this machine about 5 months ago. So far I like it. It almost has enough bottom end power to keep up with the turboed machines and it handles pretty well. My only complaint is that it seems to be made a little on the cheap side. For instance, the shocks aren't true dual rate springs. After a while, the top part of the spring with completely compress and won't spring back up. Secondly, I broke an axle climbing a sand hill. Shortly after I realized that my rear prop shaft was bent. I feel this shouldn't have happened and they should be built to hold up to nearly whatever that you throw at it. But overall, I'm happy.

Excellent Machine for Back Roads and Geocaching
We bought the White Lightning because our S900 was getting to high mileage and we were concerned about having problems when in the outback of Arizona while Geocaching. Further, we wanted the active suspension for our tired backs as we travel over lots of rocky trails. The suspension proved great!
We absolutely love the Ride Command/ GPS unit as it is very helpful during our Geocaching excursions. We loaded 500 caches into a USB memory stick, loaded them into the device and they all showed up in the map screen. Then selecting each one, the arrow helped direct us to the cache. This device was much easier to read than our old hand held GPS units.

GO ANYWHERE, GREAT FUN!!
I purchased an one-seater RS1 RZR several months ago and I really enjoy it, but wanted to be able to share the fun with my family members and friends...so I purchased a two-seater XP 1000 RZR! I definitely appreciate the fact that RZR's are extremely fast with lots of horsepower, and will go practically anywhere--backroads, trails, rock climbing, mud bogging and everything in between, while at the same time keeping the occupants safe (with a roll cage, seat belts, etc.) and comfortable (with automotive-type seats, full suspension with huge travel capabilities, etc.). I love both my RZR's and look forward to many years and miles of fun in the future!
