Default Future XP's

What can we expect for the upcoming year for the XP's?

Built-in GPS?

Equiped with air compressor for shocks/tires?

Cheers,

R'

Switch from High to Low range while on the fly is what I would love to see. I dont want Polaris to supply a GP$ because they will charge a fortune for it like they do on there RAD fans LOL. I.ll find and buy my own GPS thanks there are tons of deals on those things now.

I agree with TLC's shifting on the fly.......also I would like to see a pushbutton shift or at least a gated shifter instead of the "lawnmower type" shifter handle.....another thing, I really like turf mode on my X2, much better to drive on hard surfaces with it. I would like to see these type of changes on all the Sportsman models....not just the XP.....NoJoke

I doubt you will ever see a high to low on the fly....that would require a TQ converter or some similar type clutching. Also even if it were feasible you could only switch from high to low at very very low speeds to prevent flying over the bars or over revving the engine. Not to mention it would be hell on the belt,clutchees and diveline parts. If it were feasible 4x4 trucks would have it by now.

I agree a different shifter is long over due.

I agree, I'll buy my own GPS.

I doubt any changes for another year, but they are not slowing down. It takes time to get this new stuff out. I'm sure the RZR will be getting something soon.....

I heard about the AC 1000 thundercat back in 2006, but it's pretty quiet nowadays.

I would like to see an EBS switch. Sometimes it would be nice to coast!
