SuperATV Rhino 2.0 axles are heavy-duty front and rear replacements for the Polaris Ranger XP 1000 and Ranger Crew XP 1000, 2017 and newer, plus the 2015-2018 Ranger 1000 Diesel. Built from 4340 chromoly steel with a 4mm larger shaft, each axle is rated by SuperATV at nearly two times the strength of stock, so a Ranger that hauls all week and rides hard on the weekend stops eating axles.
The Ranger XP 1000 is a work-and-play machine, and stock axles that get by in the yard often give out once you add bigger tires, mud or heavy loads. Rhino 2.0 axles use end-to-end chromoly construction, puncture-resistant boots and maximized CV joints that stay cool at high articulation angles. They are sold individually: choose Front or Rear, then your edition (Standard, Crew, High Lifter, NorthStar, Back Country, Texas, Trail Boss, Waterfowl, Big Game or Diesel) and model-year bracket, because SuperATV uses different axles across those years.
Front and rear are different parts: the Ranger XP 1000 front axle and the Ranger XP 1000 rear axle are listed separately. Whether you need a Polaris Ranger front axle or a Polaris Ranger rear axle replacement after a break, each Ranger XP 1000 CV axle here is a Rhino 2.0, part of SuperATV's line of heavy duty Polaris Ranger axles. The CV axle Polaris Ranger XP 1000 owners need depends on edition, cab and model year, which is why these Rhino 2.0 axles Polaris Ranger owners order are split by those options. If you are comparing Polaris Ranger axles, a Polaris Ranger CV axle built from chromoly is the upgrade path, and the Polaris Ranger rear axle takes the most abuse on a working machine.

FAQ
Why do Ranger XP 1000 axles keep breaking?
Stock axles are built for stock riding and tend to fail once you add bigger tires, ride in mud or haul heavy loads. Rhino 2.0 axles are 4340 chromoly with a 4mm larger shaft and are rated by SuperATV at nearly twice the strength of OEM.
Will Rhino 2.0 axles help on a lifted Ranger?
Yes. SuperATV says Rhino 2.0 axles operate at high CV angles and handle the added stress of lift kits and oversized tires, with maximized CVs that resist binding and overheating.
Do these fit the Ranger Crew XP 1000?
Yes. Every listed edition is offered in both 2-seat and Crew versions. Select your edition, cab and year bracket so you receive the correct axle.
Do they fit a Ranger with ABS?
No. SuperATV lists these axles as not compatible with Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS).
How hard is the install?
SuperATV describes it as a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points that most riders can finish in a few hours with basic hand tools. SuperATV's instruction sheets for this axle family are linked below.
How do Rhino 2.0 axles compare to stock Ranger axles?
Compared with OEM, Rhino 2.0 axles use end-to-end 4340 chromoly, a 4mm larger shaft, maximized CV joints and puncture-resistant boots, and they carry an 18-month warranty.
Why SuperATV
SuperATV designs, engineers, manufactures and tests its Rhino 2.0 axles in-house, using CAD analysis, lab testing and real-world trail testing before release. Every Rhino 2.0 axle is backed by SuperATV's 18-month warranty, longer than the one-year norm SuperATV cites for the industry.
Complete Your Ranger XP 1000 Driveline Upgrade
When one Ranger XP 1000 axle fails, the others have usually seen the same abuse, so decide whether you need the front axle, the rear axle or both before you order. Confirm your edition, cab and model year, make sure your Ranger does not have ABS, and check the parts around the axles: worn ball joints and tie rods put extra load on new Rhino 2.0 axles.
