ENGINE

All XC SP models feature the liquid-cooled Polaris Liberty engine, with the Variable Exhaust System (VES) and Grafal-coated pistons:

Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) with Water Temperature Sensor (WTS) and a new water pump gear (500 and 600) ensure peak engine performance, enhance engine durability, and improve cooling by 40%?even in marginal snow conditions
Compression release reduces starting effort by 35% (700 and 800)
New Polaris Detonation Elimination Technology (DET) helps protect the engine against damage (700 and 800)
Variable Exhaust System (VES) increases low-end and mid-range torque and HP, while optimizing top-end performance, and improves fuel economy, while reducing noise and emissions
Mikuni flatslide carbs and Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) enhance throttle response and reduce throttle thumb effort

CHASSIS

For 2004 the EDGE chassis receives new snocross-style wide running boards with boot grips for added stability and control

A die-cast aluminum bulkhead offers more riding stability and uses self-piercing rivets, which are 200% stronger than conventional rivets
The Polaris Dual Angle Tunnel (DAT) design creates greater rear suspension travel without raising the center of gravity

SUSPENSION

The EDGE IFS features an industry-leading 10.3" of travel, Ryde FX shocks, composite skis with carbide runners, and Controlled Roll Center (CRC) optimizes steering for flat cornering
The fully coupled EDGE rear suspension boasts nearly 14" of travel, a Ryde FX gas front-track shock and Fox Position Sensitive rear-track shock for the ultimate in bump-absorbing comfort
