Polaris General

[AlfaBaz]

I'm really liking what I see about this new General! But there is still a lot I would like to know that I haven't seen. I hope JC8 and Robert (Red Bluff Yamaha/Polaris) will comment on these! Does anybody know, or can anybody reasonably predict any of the following:

1. 100 hp, whereas the non-turbo XP is advertised at 107. Different motor, or just de-tuned, or ????

2. How will the gear ratio play out? When the first 800 came out, it was common knowledge that it would hit the rev limiter right at 55 mph. The 800S topped out at 65, and the XP 900 at 75 (all bone stock). Where will the 1000 General be?

3. I read somewhere that they expect 30" tires to rub, so max will probably be 29". Anyone know for sure? Where will they "rub"? Solvable by more pre-load, or a minimal lift kit? Stock tire size?

4. Gas tank capacity?

I might just have to take look when the red one comes out in March!

I don't know much about them either Barry , but from the video I watch on it I think it's a pretty awesome looking machine, looks like it will go and do everything on the trail, and work around the house if needed.

they havent released much on specs yet but to me i realy like it id guess its 62 in wide, the interior is just the best looking yet. as to the few hp less it could be a diff intake set up for the small loss. gas tank is 9.5 gall.. 1600 lbs aprox wet .. 81in wheelbase ... (L x W x H) 116.4 x 62.5 x 73.8 in..... 12in ground clearance.... i dont get why they relesed it so early befor anyone can get one. but barry get a hold of jon crowley on face book hes done a write up on it on his utv guide site hed know since he has one

Whats the cost of one is what I was wondering?

If the cost is that of the turbo models I would just get a turbo

They are a great looking all around utv

I think the down-side of-em is all the shit made in China they install on-em like Tranny bearings come to mind

prolly more than that, may-be the whole thing is Made in China Who Knows?

and ill add im following this sxs as i like it the best of anything made so far yes it wont be a dune slayer but i think for most people this will work for 90% of their riding
