These 30-inch treads are mounted to 15-inch wheels and if you look closely you will notice the pattern for the front tire is different from the rear. The ability to launch this rig over the downed trees had to be partially attributed to the massive 30-inch Pro Armor Crawler XG tires.

We did not find many massive trail obstacles such as rocks or stumps, but a few downed trees along the trail attracted our attention and getting over them seemed to be a non-issue. Polaris also includes high clearance A-arms on the General XP 1000 Deluxe to give the machine ample room to clear any trail obstacles. This Deluxe General is 64 inches wide, which is a full 1.5 inches wider than the other models of General and it also gets an additional 1.5 inches more ground clearance at 13.5. The changes to the new Polaris General XP 1000 Deluxe that make it different from its siblings are mainly in the suspension and overall stance.

It seems to have no problem getting the over 1,700-pound rig moving even though it is just over 200 lbs heavier than other General models. The Polaris testing grounds in Wyoming were perfect for allowing the high displacement mill to really stretch its legs, giving us all a real-world example of its performance capability. This engine has 100 crank horsepower and as you get the throttle pedal down and the RPMs up, it really gets your attention. Polaris is great at building a very user friendly as well as interactive cab space and the controls to this 2021 Polaris General XP 1000 Deluxe are right within anyone’s reach.Īs we turned the key, the ProStar 999cc mill sprang to life and we were treated to the all too familiar throaty twin cylinder soun. Even for larger drivers, there is plenty of room between the pilot and the tilt steering wheel.

The cab really pulls you in and gives a very secure feeling with almost shoulder high doors (even though they are considered half doors) and fully bolstered high back seating. The 2021 Polaris General XP 1000 Deluxe was one of those and as we slipped beneath the steering wheel it was clear that our feelings for the General had not changed. Having only a full day to try out the 2021 Polaris model line, it was clear that we needed to focus on only a few of the machines on hand.
