Just bought A 2018 xrs 4 seater for the family was wondering what the top speed is for the 4 seater xrs , One other question does the ecu unlock mph after 10 hours of use ?

That's the key that should be used if you loan your rig to your adult son and have a leaky back shock.

Just offering up that P.S.A.

I would assume its pretty close for 2 and 4 seater. My 2 seater I think is 87 MPH.

My gray key was the training key my green key was performance. My max takes about 2-300 yards to really start stretching her legs and I have topped out at 75 MPH and havent pushed for more. I did notice for the first 30-40 miles the motor felt very "tight" for a lack of a better description and after that kind of opened up. More responsive with less delay and a bit snappier, however I have read that the tune and catalytic converter are really what hold her back out of the gate.

Check under the gas pedal and make sure your wife/gf didn't stick a 2x4 under it!

Chicks be tricky!

But my 4 seater did 76 in the dune flats before I had the clutch redone and Evo tune. Now it does 80 in the flats but gets there just a little faster.
I run 32" CST paddles and 4WD.

You just need to find a taller cliff to drive off , bigger the cliff the faster you go by the bottom

My 2 seater tops out at 85-86 on the limiter, that's 83 per gps. I did notice tire pressure (stock big horns 29") at 25psi top end pulls harder, at 10 psi, can fee/hearl the tires dragging, acceleration starts to suck around 65, 15 psi seems to be the sweet spot for ride and acceleration. Thats on roads and wooded trails. But like everyone else, top speed means nada in the woods, its all about the go.

When people ask me how fast it goes, I tell them "it will out accelerate and handle faster than you can think"

My trainer key has minimal boost and tops out around 55. Puts it on par with rangers and defenders.

There is a section in the NORRA race on day 3 between San Ignacio and Loreto that has a lot of high speed road. The first year I did that section pinned (stock motor and tune) in my 2 seater and got it up to about 92 or so with 32" tires. I was able to hold it wide open for some pretty long stretches...the belt got up to about 200 or so but it held on. Only problem was i ran out of gas about 5 miles short of the pit....bummer! These things drink fuel pretty good when you stand on it for long periods. Last year I ran in eco mode and I had a roof rack so the car would only do about 80 maybe 85 tops.
