Alright, I guess I'll have to derail the thread for a moment.

Guess you’ve never driven a RZR Turbo.


Honestly most people haven't since they are priced so high and more of a dune sxs. Have you driven a pro R?

I’d bet a Ranger XP with tune will have comparable acceleration with the Ranger Kinetic


It sucks because I'm a motor head guy but that's absolutely untrue just by theory. The instantaneous torque from electric motors is un-comparable.

the XP will have a higher top speed. My XP goes 70+.

The Kinetic has a top speed of 60.


What tune are you running? Gilomen? Clutched too? I honestly want to know Because I'm looking into it for mine. My XP tops out at 62.

Yes. And yes. The proR with it's 2.0l is something quite different. Much like ehen the YXZ first came out, it is more a sandrail than a sidebyside. It is limited to 95 or so. And it is terrifying at that speed.

My gilomen tuned clutched ranger crew on 32in rockabillies had a faster top speed than my stock rzr before adding the windshield to it. It was a little sketchy.

It's a great mod. But... I've never been driving 60 on a ranger and thought... I sure wish i could go faster.

Maximum acceleration is about horsepower and gearing, not instantaneous torque. Mack trucks make 2500ft-lbs of torque and even without a load are still slow. Weight and aerodynamics also factors in.

Bingo. Using their Torque Monster kit. Peg the throttle and you get near instantaneous 7500rpm.
