Edited: looking forward to seeing a review of how it does...
I've read a lot of good and bad on em and I'm really curious to hear from someone on this board as to how it compares to the RZR.
I picked up a Wildcat yesterday. After a couple hours of riding.....
It and the XP are too close to call on side by side racing. Whoever gets the jump will win.
It is a lot more comfortable than the XP. The factory seats are a nicer race inspired seat.
You sit a LOT lower in the Wildcat....To me, the center of gravity is a lot lower, it feels better to me.
It soaks up jumps better than the XP. (both need the shocks tuned to perform better.)
The Wildcat seems to climb a little better than the XP. (the locker in front and wheelbase)
The XP has a lot better turning radius. I have to back up more in the Wildcat, in the woods.
No front fenders on the Wildcat, You gonna get muddy more than in the XP.
The power steering is AWESOME! Makes a HUGE difference. That with the locker, NO steering wheel jerk.
The XP has 27" tires and the Wildcat has 26". Personally, I'd like a bigger tire on the machine
The XP has the grab handle....Wildcat has nothing to hold on to except a bar on the door. (on the inside)
The doors on the Wildcat are flimsy and not very strong. They are metal though...The XP has nets with plastic clips. (Neither are very good IMO.)
Personally....Owning both....I'm liking the Wildcat better at this point. We'll see after some more seat time.
