We installed the RPM ECF on my Brother’s ’25 Xpedition XP5 NS from brand new and every time we were riding together he was reporting 20°f+ lower belt temps than I was running. Both our Xpeditions have belt temp gauges installed so we can see what the belts are running when pulling our Camp Trailers.
With my ‘24 Xpedition XP Ultimate being one of the first to arrive after they were released, I have a few years of belt temp data to compare with.
I finally got around to purchasing and installing the RPM ECF last week, just before heading up to Little Sahara Sand Mountain Dunes, and the difference is amazing!
Last year, riding Sand Mountain, my belt temps peaked over 260°f and with any pushing stayed above 210°f.
This year, with the ECF installed, my belt temps peaked at 208°f and averaged around 174°f when not climbing the mountain itself.
The RPM Electric Clutch Fan Kit
(RPM Polaris XPEDITION "ECF" Electric Clutch Blower Fan Kit
Was very easy to install, simply plugging into the driver side taillight harness and using the RPM Silicone Clutch intake tube replacement (required to install the ECF) though I cut the wires near the fan and added a harness plug so the Fan can be completely removed when doing clutch/belt work, without removing the entire wire harness.
The price, like the majority of RPM’s products, was quite reasonable. At a grand total of $346.70 for both the ECF and Silicone Intake Tube, I feel like the extension of belt and clutch life will pay that back easily.
Overall, this is a highly recommended upgrade for anyone who likes to use their Xpedition to its fullest.
And just as a disclaimer. I’m not sponsored or affiliated in any way by the products or brands I talk about (with the exception of HighCountry Unlimited).
