Polaris Madigan Motorsports XP1K Suspension

[UTVUGJake]

Looks like the guys over at Madigan Motorsports have been busy coming up with really cool stuff for the Polaris XP1000. They've got the stock width set up, and a +4 long travel set-up. The thing I thought was really cool is the custom bulkhead that they say gives their kits that little bit extra. Check it out, what do you guys think? I'd love to hear some discussion on the possibly-improved geometry for racing/handling. Look for them out at the Sand Sports Super Show this weekend!

Madigan does awesome work and great ideas but isn't changing the A-Arm location against almost all UTV Racing rule books?

Madigan is building my Maverick Max and it's insane

I am pretty sure it would be illegal in many classes. Bitchen looking though! Any info on why the change in mounting position? Benefits?

I told Tom he should have made the new pivot bracket mounted to the existing pivot. I think that may have been a way around the rule??

Yeah I like the clean work and new idea, but like Nate asked, why move the pivot? What are the benefits? I thought you could build a lighter arm but not with that bulkhead too, so i was just wondering. Not trying to be a downer, I am just asking...

Looks like a creative way to not have to engineer the arm up and over the tie rod.

I have a little info on why. For obvious reasons the loop over the tie rod is less than desirable. Madigans XP1K upper arm is almost the same as the 900 upper arm. The inner pivot is 1" or so wider than the 900 inner pivot. I am not sure it will comply with the rules but I know Madigan has talked with almost every race org with UTV's. I like to see creative ideas. Keep pushing these machine.

Cool, not sure how that would pass the rules? Maybe unlimited, but I do love the new upper arm design. You guys at Madigan do some awesome work.

Heres a peak of a build I'm doing using Madigans new kit. Looking forward to duning it.

Very nice looking LT kit im definitely going to check it out at sand show

It does not pass BITD rules. I asked Casey at V2R tech. Nice kit though.

 

[Madigan]

We have a kit, of similar design, that does pass for BITD/SCORE. It foregoes the bulkhead and utilized a bent arm to hit the stock points.
