RZR 170s have a rectangular swingarm and five inches of non-independent travel in back, and only lower A-arms in front. The RZR 200 gets independent rear suspension and two drive axles with inner and outer CV-joints to handle seven inches of travel.ħ) UPGRADED DRIVELINE AND HYDRAULIC BRAKES It has two venting ducts for the large cover over the CVT clutch, too.
The RZR 200 has a Donaldson-style air box with much-larger pleated paper filter like full-sized RZRs, and the engine sits further back in the frame than the 170. Horsepower is 11.1 and torque is 9.7 ft-lbs. Also, the EFI throttle body is 32mm the 170 went EFI for 2015 and had a 24mm carburetor before that Vent’s 180cc kit has a 26mm carb, so the 32mm EFI is a big improvement. While the RZR 200 is more trail worthy in stock form with the extra 8cc, there is room for improvement for racing. Both the 200 and 170 use the air-cooled GY6 engine case, and race tuners port heads for bigger valves (30.5mm intake, 26.5mm exhaust) and higher compression.
Vent Racing’s 63.5mm big-bore kit yields 183cc, and there are even 204cc and 232cc kits available. Many companies have big-bore kits for the old RZR 170, which has a 61mm piston and 57.8mm stroke for 169cc. Compression goes from 9.5:1 on the 170 to 9.6:1. The RZR 200 has a bore and stroke of 62.5mmx57.8mm for 177cc, which is only a 5-percent displacement increase over the 170. A 180cc kit for the 170 costs upwards of $300 Polaris made it standard equipment and also saves costs with a larger air filter. And the fuse box rides to the left of the driver’s seat so a parent can quickly cut power if any electronics go awry. The shifter is simple and has a large F-N-R on the knob, and the hand-operated parking brake rides in front of the selector. The throttle pedal is black, and the 170’s limit screw is absent on the 200, while the larger brake pedal is painted red. This is an improvement over the 170, as its adjuster requires a wrench and is obstructed by bodywork. A large thumb screw lets the parents set the optimum tilt level for the 10-and-up youth(s), then tighten with pliers to prevent misadjustment. Like bigger RZRs, the new 200 has a tilt steering wheel, but it’s not a hydraulic unit or easily adjusted. It also has a plastic guard on the floorboard to prevent anything like a helmet on the floor or the passenger’s foot from getting under the throttle pedal. Attaching the beacon to one of the helmets, parents can use the Polaris Ride Command App to prevent the RZR from starting if the beacon is out of range of the gauge sensor.

Youth UTVs including the RZR 170 come with two helmets, and the new 200 comes with twos helmets and a Bluetooth beacon. Polaris is the first to have Helmet Aware Technology with the RZR 200. Past youth machines have had intake and/or exhaust restrictors that had to be mechanically installed and removed others have had throttle limiters that had to be set. With Youth Ride Command App and Helmet Aware Technology, parents can disable the RZR 200 from starting if the helmet beacon isn’t present. Here are ten things about the RZR 200 every parent and racer will need to know. While the entry-level RZR has more safety features than ever, it’s also engineered to win races and groom future champions on tracks around the country and world.
#RECKLESS RACING RZR PRO#
Now Polaris has improved on 11 years of the RZR 170 with the all-new 2022 RZR 200 that carries Pro XP DNA. Since 2010, many an off-road prodigy has started out in Polaris RZR 170s, and they’ll be continuing legacies through the Pro ranks.
