I read a review of the RZR vs Rhino in the Oregon sand dunes & the RZR was superior in every category, take off, top speed, 4x4 ability/climbing

RZR - for guys
Rhino - for girls

I wish I would have known about the RZR S before I bought my regular RZR, but Polaris really kept this project under wraps, and nobody knew any details until they did their official release about a month back.

Oh well, mine will have a long travel suspension soon enough.  It does good as is, but a LT kit and some haulers will really make it a blast on the dunes.

Sounds like a blast Langford, I'll have to hit the sand next year.
Where do you ride?
Title: Re: 2009 RZR S
Post by: darkside94 on August 29, 2008, 07:50:28 PM
63mph  :jaw:

We ride at the silver lake sand dunes mostly.

Darkside94, remove the clutch spacer (speed limiter) on any RZR and it will do 63 mph...mine does 63.5 (gps) on flat road with a full windshield and 26" terracross tires.  I can get a few more mph out of it while going downhill before the Rev limiter kicks in, so with a few more ponies it will do close to 70mph.

depends on your state, but that would be perfect!

check into your state laws on assembled vehicles Bert, here in Michigan isn't too hard to get them street legal.

in MI you need to add the following to a RZR/Rhino/Etc. to make them street legal.

Safety glass windshield
Windshield wiper w/squirter
Rear view mirror
Horn
Turn Signals
high and low beams w/indicator (same as any vehicle)
Parking brake
DOT approved tires
plate/registration (with lights for plate)
insurance

I'd like to see the new AC with the 950cc motor in it. I'm sure its a tank, but it will be a tank with a ton of power. The Terx was kind of a disappointment. I really don't know why they did not make that thing FI.

I heard that the RZR's are some what more delicate than the Rhinos.

There air filter setup is dumb just like on most Polaris set-ups

What do you mean by that?  Like Polarass525 said, the only problem with the RZR is the factory air intake setup, unless you get people treating them like a long travel sand rails and jumping them 10' in the air, but you are bound to have problems then.  The reason you dont hear about Rhinos and the others having problems with the frames tweaking, broken shock mounts and axles is because they dont have enough balls to launch like the RZR's do.  
I had mine pegged at 65mph going down a trail and hit a bridge that launched me about 4' in the air...when the ground caught back up with us, it felt like we landed on feathers.  The rhino that was following me in our group had his pegged out at 35 (lol) and hit that same bridge...his tires barely left the ground.  

More delicate?  Dont think so, people just use them much harder because they are capable of so much more.

you found a nice way to say it...well done. i know a guy who traded a rhino for the rzr. He had it 4 days and rolled it 5 times...still going. He was not prepared for the speed. :lol:

There good machines and with the "S" coming out they will dominate the market for sometime. Polaris has been thinking outside the box for a while now, it's just they have not payed much attention to detail on some of there innovations.
