Maximized shafts paired with U-Series U-joints or C-Series CV joints that wear less and run smooth mean it can withstand tons of torque. Bolster your driveline’s backbone with SuperATV’s expertise. Upgrade to a Rhino Driveline Prop Shaft and drive your Polaris Ranger XP 1000 like you never could before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuperior Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe built Rhino Driveline prop shafts with .120” tube walls and a 1.75” diameter tube. That’s bigger and thicker than your OEM prop shaft. It’s made of chromoly steel alloy unlike your OEM carbon steel prop shaft. That makes it strong enough to take on creeks, rocks, mud, and hills. It’s built for the way you ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eC-Series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eC-Series prop shafts offer the ultimate strength and protection. It uses a CV joint complete with a chromoly cage, spider, and cup just like an axle. All the strength is made even more durable thanks to the high-quality boot that protects it from the elements. Best of all, a CV gives you no rattle, wobble, or balance issues—they’re just not possible. It’s the smart choice for any ride style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eU-Series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eU-Series U-joints are built like your stock U-joints but stronger. The U-Series uses needle bearings, just like OEM, but are made with a superior 4340 chromoly steel body. They’ll last longer and make it through tougher rides than a stock U-joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse with Our Cast or Billet Aluminum Carrier Bearings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts are compatible with SuperATV Carrier Bearings only for 2017-2020 models. That’s great news for you, because our carrier bearings are the best you can get. Our greaseable, self-aligning bearing and innovative two-piece design make installation and maintenance a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to materials, we’ve got a carrier bearing for every rider. Our A380 cast aluminum option is long-lasting, reliable, and stronger than stock. And for riders who want max performance, there’s our 6061 billet aluminum carrier bearing. This 100% American-made billet carrier is CNC machined, making it stronger than cast and perfect for pushing limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat does a heavy-duty prop shaft actually improve on a Polaris Ranger XP 1000? A heavy‑-duty prop shaft increases strength and reliability in the driveline, especially when you add bigger tires, ride hard, or push more torque through the machine. Our Rhino Driveline prop shaft uses thicker .120‑inch walls and a larger 1.75‑inch diameter tube, making it significantly stronger than the OEM carbon steel shaft. That added strength helps prevent twisting, vibration, and premature failure under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill this Rhino Driveline prop shaft fit my specific Ranger XP 1000 model? Yes. This prop shaft fits Polaris Ranger XP 1000 and XP 1000 Crew models across multiple trims and years, including North Star, High Lifter, Back Country, Waterfowl, and Big Game editions. Fitment varies by year and configuration, so we list exact compatibility on the product page. Selecting your correct model and year ensures proper length and driveline alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is the difference between the C-Series CV and U-Series U-joint options? The C‑Series uses a sealed CV joint with chromoly internals for smooth, maintenance‑free operation with no vibration or wobble. The U‑Series uses heavy‑duty 4340 chromoly needle‑bearing U‑joints that are stronger than stock while maintaining a traditional design. Both options are phased and balanced for smooth power transfer, letting you choose based on riding style and preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow hard is it to install this SuperATV prop shaft? Installation is straightforward for most riders with basic hand tools and mechanical experience. The shaft bolts directly into factory mounting points when paired with SuperATV carrier bearings. We provide detailed step‑by‑step instructions, and many riders complete the install in a single garage session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo I need to replace my carrier bearing when installing this prop shaft? Yes. Rhino Driveline prop shafts are designed to work exclusively with SuperATV carrier bearings. Our carrier bearings are greaseable, self‑aligning, and built from cast or billet aluminum to handle the added strength of the shaft. Using the correct carrier bearing ensures proper alignment, smooth rotation, and long‑term durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow is SuperATV’s Rhino Driveline prop shaft tested for real-world riding? We design and test our prop shafts for aggressive trail riding, work use, and high‑torque setups. Each shaft is phased and balanced to eliminate vibration, then built from proven chromoly components validated across thousands of real‑world Ranger XP 1000 builds. That testing is why riders trust our driveline upgrades when reliability matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft diameter is .5” larger than stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft wall is .120” vs stock’s .088”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 4130 chromoly tubing (stock is plain carbon steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a strong and versatile CV joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 4340 chromoly steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed for any riding environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo vibrations, no wobble, no maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a traditional needle-bearing U-joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhased and balanced—no vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed for long-lasting operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 : 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Crew : 2017-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 : 2017+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Crew : 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Back Country Edition : 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Back Country Crew Edition : 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Big Game Edition : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Big Game Edition Crew : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 High Lifter Edition : 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 High Lifter Edition Crew : 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Edition : 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Edition Crew : 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Texas Edition : 2020+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Texas Edition Crew : 2020+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Trail Boss : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Trail Boss Crew : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Waterfowl Edition : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Ranger XP 1000 Waterfowl Edition Crew : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Pro XD 2000G : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolaris Pro XD 2000D : 2021+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SuperATV","offers":[{"title":"Front + Rear \/ Standard","offer_id":66733204373549,"sku":"PRP01-026F-018R-1-C#AF","price":1065.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front + Rear \/ Billet","offer_id":66733204570157,"sku":"PRP01-026F-018R-1-B#AF","price":1194.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front \/ Standard","offer_id":66733204635693,"sku":"PRP01-030F-1","price":483.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front \/ Billet","offer_id":66733204668461,"sku":"PRP01-030F-1-B","price":711.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front + Middle \/ Standard","offer_id":66733204766765,"sku":"PRP01-030F-025M-1","price":967.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Complete Kit \/ Standard","offer_id":66733204963373,"sku":"PRP01-030F-025M-018R-1","price":1450.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Complete Kit \/ Billet","offer_id":66733205094445,"sku":"PRP01-030F-025M-018R-1-B","price":1906.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front + Middle \/ Billet","offer_id":66733205454893,"sku":"PRP01-030F-025M-1-B","price":1422.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Middle \/ Standard","offer_id":66733205815341,"sku":"PRP01-025M-1","price":483.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Middle \/ Billet","offer_id":66733206011949,"sku":"PRP01-025M-1-B","price":711.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rear + Middle \/ Standard","offer_id":66733206405165,"sku":"PRP01-025M-018R-1","price":967.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rear + Middle \/ Billet","offer_id":66733206601773,"sku":"PRP01-025M-018R-1-B","price":1194.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/9209\/9373\/files\/rhino_u_and_c_series_prop_shafts_1_4.jpg?v=1779173703","url":"https:\/\/reedcycles.com\/products\/polaris-ranger-xp-1000-heavy-duty-prop-shaft-rhino-driveline","provider":"ReedCycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
