One my favorite modifications they made the
Polaris RZR XP 900 is the addition of electronic
power steering with a 2:1 steering ratio on
the steering wheel, which makes steering effortless.
Unlike the stock steering ratio, the aftermarket
2:1 steering wheel eliminates hand over hand
steering since the steering is twice as responsive
as stock, and it felt more like steering a go-cart.
The reduced steering effort helps eliminate
arm pump and fatigue in the 45 minute long WORCS
race. In addition, the electronic power steering
not only helps with arm pump, but it also helps
the machine stay straight when hitting bumps
or in our case long whooped out sections of
the desert sand.

The
2:1 ratio steering makes a world of difference
in the whooped out desert sand. It eliminates
arm pump & helps keep the Side-by-Side
steered in the right direction |
The Exit shocks did a great job of soaking
up the brutally rough terrain. The SxS race
was held at the end of a full day of ATV racing,
so the desert track was whooped out with deep
sand ruts with square edge lips, which put the
best suspension to the test. The track layout
also included the off-road truck course, which
had a few jumps as well. The Exit suspensions
performed flawlessly as I was able to stay on the gas to make several
passes on other SxS vehicles through the roughest
sections of the course, as others were forced to slow down
through the sand whoops.
