Breaks

Has anyone found a fix for the terrible brakes on these things ??? I love the car other than the horrible stopping power !! Is there a bigger rotor kit out there or braided stainless lines or something else to fix this problem ??????????

If your machine is new, they will get better.

Just under 1500 miles, and no better than when it was new ! Worse now actually, you gotta stand on the pedal to get them to work !!! And even then you cant even lock up the tires on graveel road.

You have an issue somewhere it seems. Mine are just fine. Takes more to stop than my single cab ranger but I’m never standing on them to stop.

Disregard my last. That's way too many miles to still be as you described.

Since the Xpedition uses the same rotor as the 1500HD, I wonder how hard it would be for Polaris to put the same brake system on the Xpedition as the 1500HD?

When I got mine I did 6 hard brake stop from 60 MPH to break them in. It did help. They still are a far cry from the RZR Turbo XP I had. You used to be able to ride the brakes while accelerating to "break them in", but if you try that on anything built since 2015 it will just cut the power to the engine and throw a code. From what I've been reading it sounds like the supplier's material mix may be inconsistent, or the brake pad material may be too hard. Try looking around the aftermarket to see if anyone has come out with a softer material with a higher coefficient of friction. The only downside to softer brake pads is they won't last as long.
