Power,
cargo-carrying capacity, and a great ride are all trademarks of the
Xplorer 400, a versatile Polaris ATV with the Concentric Drive
System and an impressive 9 inches of rear suspension travel. The
Xplorer 400 provides a full 9.0 inches of rear wheel travel, and
the MacPherson strut independent front suspension with 6.7 inches
of travel. Its turning radius is just 65 inches. The Xplorer 400 is
powered by a Polaris 400 2-stroke, liquid-cooled, oil-injected
engine. Its power is managed by the dual-sensing, automatic PVT
(Polaris Variable Transmission), which responds to both engine RPM
and vehicle torque load. The Concentric Drive System (CDS) enhances
the efficient use of Xplorer 400 power as it aligns the swing
arm’s pivot point with the center of the drive sprocket. The
benefit is that the rear suspension is not affected by engine
torque, so more power is put to the ground, where the Xplorer 400
puts it to good use for heavy work, trail riding, and during
hunting. The CDS also results in a consistent chain tension at all
times, reducing chain wear and decreasing the need for chain
adjustment or maintenance. When additional traction is required, a
rider simply uses the on/off thumb switch to activate the
intelligent On-Demand true 4-wheel drive. The Polaris 4-wheel drive
system senses when the rear torque. Consistent and reliable braking
is supplied by the single-lever hydraulic disc brakes and hydraulic
rear axle-mounted foot brake. An electronic speedometer with a
digital hour meter and odometer/trip meter with readouts in miles
and kilometers is standard, as are full floorboards with integrated
footpegs and front and rear cargo racks-all made of a tough
composite material. The Xplorer 400 also has a tow hitch (towing
capacity is 850 pounds); a handlebar-mounted quartz halogen
headlight, two grille-mounted headlights, and a brake light; a rear
DC outlet for accessory items; and a 4-gallon fuel
tank.
