I picked the right riding partner during my test of the side-by-side 2018 Polaris RZR XP Turbo S. Turns out my friend and fellow journalist Manuel Carrillo III grew up in the Inland Empire in Southern California, and desert trail riding is in his blood. RZR is Polaris’ lineup of sport side-by-sides, with 20 models and special editions ranging from the $10,299 RZR 570 to the top-of-the-line model I’ll be testing, the $27,499 RZR XP Turbo S. RZR models vary in terms of width, length, seating (two and four-passenger) capacity, suspensions, engine size and other features. The XP Turbo S has a wheelbase of 90 inches, an overall length of 122 inches and a height of 75 inches. With a wallop of power and grand scale, the XP Turbo S has received beefed-up chassis, roll cage and body parts. The XP Turbo S exhibits no flexing, clanking or rattling on the roughest of trails.
