Why it matters in the real world
That 976 cc Rotax V-twin delivers the kind of usable torque you feel when the bed is loaded or the trailer is hooked up, while Turf Mode helps protect sensitive ground when you’re working around property. Add DPS for easier steering, 10 inches of suspension travel for rough access roads, and the XT roof/skid plate/bumper package for added confidence when the terrain gets unpredictable.
