2021 Polaris General XP 1000 Test Review

Polaris General XP 1000 Test Review. Polaris pushed the envelope of sport performance in the sport utility SXS segment in 2016 with the release of the General 1000 featuring an engine and chassis based on the pure sport RZR S trail models. Never letting off the gas, Polaris further enhanced the General’s handling, suspension, and ability to conquer terrain with the release of the General XP 1000 for 2020, throwing a wrench in the plans of Yamaha and Can-Am to easily take over the class with their new RMAX and Commandeer models.

With a 2021 General XP 1000 Deluxe on our hands and a few rides under our belts, here’s our thoughts on why the General XP 1000 remains an extremely viable contender in the 1000cc sport utility segment.

Having wanted to test the General XP 1000 for over a year, we came away impressed with its performance. It is certainly as good, if not better, than we originally imagined. While it’s no longer the standalone single unit in the 64” sport/utility SXS segment, it should certainly be competitive with the Yamaha RMAX and Can-Am Commander come shootout time. In its second year in production, Polaris has also had time to work out any first year bugs.

If we were in the market for a seriously fun trail machine with the capability to camp, hunt, or get work done and we had a local Polaris dealer we loved, we’d feel real good about putting a 2021 General XP 1000 in our garage.
