Female Announcer: “There’s new competition in the low horsepower UTV market as Club Car has taken the wraps off its affordable new 14-horsepower XRT950. UTV Magazine editorial director and publisher John Prusak was on hand for a test drive recently in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.”
John Prusak: “When most people think of Club Car, they think of golf carts. But the Georgia-based division of Ingersoll-Rand also has a growing presence in the UTV market. In Late July they took the wraps off their latest creation, a mid-size XRT950, that is sure to give other machines in its class fits. The XRT950 features an all-new steel chassis, that features independent front and rear suspensions. Power comes from a 14-horsepower V-twin, from Briggs & Stratton’s Vanguard line.
14 horses may not seem like much power to performance riding enthusiasts. But to those looking for a capable and affordable work machine, they’ll find the XRT950 fits the bill. It’s available in 2- and 4-wheel drive. In our test in Virginia, we plowed the XRT through mud holes, up and down steep slopes, and put it to work hauling rocks and it never backed down. Plus, it features hydraulic disc brakes all the way around, plus CVT engine braking. Those are two features that aren’t normally found in under 25 mile an hour UTVs.
Best yet, the Club Car XRT950 4x4 is available for just $7599 in stock form, or for $8899 for the tricked out EX model. It features a Bestop enclosure, plus a brush guard, fog lights, and alloy wheels. The XRT950 is available this fall at Club Car dealerships across the country.”
Female Announcer: “The fall issue of UTV Magazine which features information on the Club Car and dozens of other stock and modified side-by-sides can be found on newsstands starting September 16th.”
