Overview
- Polaris announced its 2027 off‑road lineup this week, introducing the RZR Pro R Boost with a turbocharged 2.0‑liter engine and the XPEDITION fitted with the new NUMATIX pneumatic CVT.
- Polaris says the RZR Pro R Boost makes 275 horsepower and 223 lb‑ft of torque using a 60 mm Garrett turbo and that peak output is maintained up to 115°F ambient and roughly 10,000 feet elevation.
- To handle the extra heat and torque Polaris reworked cooling and driveline hardware, adding a dual radiator layout, a high‑capacity clutch with cooling fins, a larger drive belt, reinforced half shafts, and a beefed‑up front drive.
- NUMATIX uses an on‑board air regulator to bias the CVT drive clutch up to about 200 times per second, which Polaris says cuts engine RPM by about 45% at 30 mph, trims noise by up to 9 dB, improves mileage, and provides an onboard air supply for accessories.
- Polaris published U.S. MSRPs and ship windows with the XPEDITION starting around $40,499 and heading to dealers in August 2026 while the RZR Pro R Boost starts near $49,999 and is slated to begin shipping in November 2026, a move that tightens the factory horsepower race with Can‑Am and Kawasaki.
