OK HO lets have the low down :)

Yes, thanks.
So, you are saying the suspension smooths out quicker? This due to the longer wheelbase and TTI suspension?
It's funny...when I look at atv's I bring my father along. He always stares and oogles over the TTI suspension on the Outties. Has said since the first time we saw one in 05..."this suspension just has to work better".

Saying this as nicely as possible and not bashing......this is what I think it is........
A combination of the soft front suspension, TTI in the rear, and the 12" wheels vs. 14" wheels on the XP.
I remember when Polaris had SRA in all their atv's. They used to run 10" wheels in the rear for a better ride. Really didn't do anything, except give you the impression of better suspension.

That could very well be the case. But the suspension does not feel softer at all...it's actually tighter feeling,and front end dive is less than with the XP. In any case whatever the reason it handles better than the XP at high speeds on hard pack/pavement.
I have 14's and BHs coming...I'll let you know what difference that makes.

The front suspension hasn't changed in years on the Outlander that I know of. Maybe just needs a few more miles on it.
I wasn't trying to be a smartass, although it may look like it sometimes when stating facts.

Also the upper A-arms are now steel...reason being... it was cheaper to make them out of steel than to re-tool for new aluminum ones to make the geometry changes, so I hear.
In any case the dive/sag is non-exisistent on mine. I actually turned down the shock pre-load from the 3rd notch where it was set from the factory to the 2nd. That might change with some miles...but according to kawifan the2010 front end it defnitely a better set up than his 2007 was...all I know is I'm having no sag/dive issues...and I got on the brakes as hard as I could from over 70 mph today and the dive didn't catch my attention at all.
FACTS is a pretty bold statement...

I know the site says new suspension geometry, but it actually is "new STEERING geometry". Has more to do with easier steering. Doesn't do anything for the soft front suspension.
Just a play on words they are using.
As for the parts....we know how that goes. They change frequently depending on price. I'm sure it may be a little different now down in Mexico as apposed to Canada.

For Goodness sake Roofer...GO RIDE ONE,and not around the dealers parking lot...then we can better discuss it...right now I am just telling you what I think after riding it and you are just trying to counter it in any way possible with nothing more than a ride on a 2006 and what you have READ on forums about older models and Outty's in general. The 2010 front suspension maybe identical to the old ones,and if it is and everyone says the front suspension dives and sags I would hate to see what they have to say about the XPs front suspension. As for needing more miles to start sagging/diving...how long have you READ that it takes for them to start sagging...I'll be looking for it.
