XY Powersports rolls out Vaterra 1100 UTV

1100cc 4-cylinder engine produces 71.5 hp

XY Powersports has introduced its new Vaterra 1100, featuring an 1100cc 4-cylinder engine.

Development of the Vaterra 1100 began in 2011 with a six-person R&D team focused exclusively on creating an 1100cc UTV. The vehicle’s features and functions were developed in response to market trends, progress-based tests and customer feedback, the company reports.

The Vaterra’s 1100cc engine produces 71.5 hp and 67 pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm. The Vaterra, which is available in both four-seater and two-seater models, features a rear-wheel driveshaft, switchable to 2-wheel-drive and 4-wheel-drive with a differential lock. The automatic CVT features reverse, neutral, low and high gears with a reverse override.

The Vaterra 1100 also features:

  • Liquid twin-fan cooling system
  • DOHC 16 valves
  • Electronic fuel-injected I4 engine
  • Electronic e-brake
  • Bench seat 4-seater SXS
  • Hydraulic assist bed with mounted rails on both sides
  • Protective overfenders
  • Alloy wheels
  • Half doors
  • Plastic canopy
  • 3,000-lb. winch
  • 3,500-lb. hitch ball
  • Power steering
  • Sealed under-seat storage

The Vaterra can handle tough trails and heavy loads — and give the police an assist. XY recently outfitted a four-seater Vaterra 1100 for the Loveland Police Division in Loveland, Ohio, to patrol the very popular local bike trail and to use at community events like parades and high school football games. The custom-built police UTV included special fabrication and customized wiring for the lights and sirens.

Except for the engine, the manufacturer builds everything on the Vaterra unit including the gearbox, front and rear differentials and mold. The manufacturer produces 500–600 Vaterras per month.

XY Powersports is a UTV distributor based in Loveland, Ohio.
