The combination of strong V-twin torque, selectable drive modes (including Turf Mode for sensitive ground), and 10 inches of suspension travel front and rear makes it equally at home on the farm, at the jobsite, or deep on the trail. XT upgrades like the hard roof, skid plate, and factory winch add everyday confidence—whether you’re hauling supplies, pulling a trailer, or getting yourself (or a buddy) unstuck.
