Anyone know what these sleds are capable of in terms of top speed and HP of a 99 XCR 800?.. Just acuired one but dont know too much about the sleds engine specs.
Thanks.

According to my speedo which could be way off i had her pegged over 120mph. From what i read they are in the 155-160 hp range. Very fast. A bit heavy throwing around on the trail thouigh. But itll beat anything across a lake. And the aggressive chassis grows on you.

Wow thanks for the info man... do these motors have a long lifespan.. or is there any problem areas with the sled?

overall the engines live forever. the sled is geared for about 115-120 depending on your weight and conditions. they geared them down a little for 2000. the heavy chassis rides real nice on a ok trail. on groomed trail or nice conditions it will be the funnest sled you have ever rode.

The one i have used to be owned by a dealer so it was taken care of religiously. But there is about 7500 miles on her and she still runs very strong. No problems whatsoever.

you will love it i miss mine[V] i only had it about two years. that was the best polaris sled i've ever had.

Front motor mounts are the only thing to watch. I would suggest you get a torque arm for the front of the motor. SLP sells them. Thats where I got mine anyway.

Search the site, plenty to compare to. The speedo is off and would wrap it off the end. 118-121 real miles is about it.
People bash the aggrssive body,I really did'nt notice much of a differance between the two. On the Gen II you can see your skis a bit more but butt feel is very close. i miss those lights.
Agree with the captian, get a torque arm, I still have a bent foot well.
Watch the waterpump, I rebuild mine at 6000 miles to be safe.

I own one of these also ,funnest sled ever ridden fast ,trail capable very smooth ,with a white knuckle accleration

I have an XC 800 w/ about 160hp and it will pass 110mph pretty easy so I would assume the triple would have a bit of a high end advantage on that.

I think that after a certain point it doesn't really matter except for bragging purposes. After 100mph it is all just crazy fast, which is just they way I like it []

I have a 02 800xcsp...It can get up to 110mph in no time, so I'm sure you'll get over that! Fun sled to ride, especially beating all my friends!!
