Aftermarket Assassins - Polaris Xpedition ADV / ADV 5 / XP / XP 5 S3 Clutch Kit

S3 Recoil Clutch Kit Overview

The S3 recoil clutch kit delivers significant performance gains across all terrains. Whether on the trail, at the race, in the dunes, or mudding, you'll experience wicked acceleration, instant clutch response, and better RPM holding. The kit reduces bogging on climbs and improves wheel speed for better traction in challenging conditions.

Why Choose S3 Over Factory Xpedition Clutching

Factory Xpedition clutches lack sufficient belt grip, gain RPM too quickly, and don't achieve peak RPM efficiently. The S3 kit addresses these issues with a stiffer secondary spring for better belt grip and optimized primary weight/spring combination for proper RPM delivery. The aggressive helix adds more responsive shifts, making throttle feel locked to the rear wheels.

Kit Contents

• AA magnetic adjustable clutch weights
• AA primary spring
• AA primary limiter washer
• AA secondary spring
• AA custom cut helix

Helix Options

• Performance Helix 1065: Aggressive helix designed for tuned vehicles, lighter tires under 44 lbs, and fast-paced drivers. Best for 2 or 5 seat models with 30–33? tires.
• High Load Helix 1062: Slightly less aggressive, designed for heavier vehicles, aggressive tread, heavy sand, or crawling. Works with 30–35? heavier tires over 44 lbs or 30–33? paddles on 2, 4, or 5 seat models.

Cruiser Option

The Cruiser setup is ideal for riders seeking lower cruising RPM and reduced noise. Factory Xpedition models run high RPM from the factory. The Cruiser option uses heavier primary weights with slug magnets (5 magnets in one large slug versus 3 standard magnets per hole), dropping peak RPM from 8300 to approximately 7400–7700 RPM. This sacrifices some horsepower but provides smoother engagement, excellent crawling ability, and a feel between a Ranger and RZR. You can easily revert to standard setups by switching weights in 15–30 minutes.

Engine Braking (EBS) Options

• Keep EBS: Like factory. Recommended for slower-paced riders (mud, crawling, hilly terrain). Eliminates chatter noise but produces decel whine.
• Remove EBS: Removes the EBS pocket in the helix. Recommended for faster-paced trail, race, and dune riders. Eliminates roller clunk but produces decel whine.

Key Benefits

• Works with stock or modified machines
• Compatible with tire sizes 30?–35? and paddles 28?–33?
• Essential for larger tires or paddles
• Wicked throttle response on and off throttle
• More efficient power transfer to wheels
• Consistent clutch performance
• Cooler running belt temperatures, especially with larger tires or paddles
• Longer belt and clutch life
• Easily adjustable if needed
• Smooth clutch engagement
• Tighter roller and EBS pocket design reduces clutch slop and roller breakage risk
