At Polaris, the formula for Velocity is new suspension gear + a tougher driveline.

The RZR XP Turbo S plays in the high-horsepower 72-inch league, bringing 168 horsepower and sixteen inches of ground clearance to the widebody SxS party. Now, Polaris has added extra-beefy components to create the RZR XP Turbo S Velocity.

If the company appends any more letter to their high performance rig, the sticker for its full name won’t fit.

Compared the existing XP Turbo S and its quad-seat brother XP 4 Turbo S, the new Velocity models are built with stronger axles, high-clearance control arms, and a stronger drive system. The chassis has also been reinforced, while a the drivetrain is more robust thanks to improved cooling.

These new Velocity models share much of the goodies in the XP Turbo S make which make that machine such a beast, such as the 4-stroke turbo twin-cylinder engine measuring 925cc and making 168 horsepower. The company says they’ve dialed in 25 percent more assist to the Velocity’s power steering, useful when hauling the mail at full chat over the desert floor.

Speaking of high speed running, each of the new rigs will be endowed with race-ready 3.0-inch aluminum Walker Evans Velocity Shocks with high- and low-speed compression adjustment. Drivers should experience a pillowy ride thanks to the small chop actions and increased stability through high-speed whoops. Don’t fret – there are still four-point harnesses to keep all hands in place.

“We designed the Velocity models in response to drivers seeking the ultimate combination of performance and value,” said Kyle Duea, Vice President of ORV Marketing for Polaris Industries. “Along with this new offering, we’re excited to add an additional paint scheme to the current XP Turbo S and XP 4 Turbo S lineup for a wider range of styles and designs.”

Expect the twin-seat Velocity to hoover $25,399 from your saving account; add $3000 for the quad-seat version. Alert readers will note those numbers are quite a bit south of the current list price for the standard RZR XP Turbo S. If you’re willing to give up the look-at-me-paint schemes, plus what Polaris is calling “simplified fit and finish”, the Velocity represents a surprising value play.

The new 2- and 4-passenger models will be available in Titanium Metallic. The RZR XP Turbo S and XP 4 Turbo S in these new colors (shown in the two preceding images), as well as both Velocity models (shown up top), will begin shipping to Polaris dealers late January.
