Polaris General 8" Portal Gear Lift

Description

Gear Down and Go Big
Your Polaris General can get work
done when it needs to, but deep down you know you bought your General for some
fierce mud flingin’ action. With SuperATV’s 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift installed,
you can take your side-by-side to another level. That huge increase in ground
clearance paired with its torque-boosting 45% or 60% gear reduction gives you
the ability to clear bigger rocks and power through thicker mud. With an 8”
GDP Portal Kit, nothing’s gonna stop you.

GDP—the Most
Trusted Name in Portals
So how many people let GDP transform
their ride? More people than any other portal system. There are thousands
riding on portals every weekend tearing up mud parks and bombing down trails.
With total ride hours numbering in the hundreds of thousands, you know that
GDP is the must mud-proven portal kit you can get.

Perfect
for Mud
Did we mention 8” portals are great for muddin’? Getting
lifted means you have room for big mud tires and your General can cruise over
deep mud instead of plowing right through. The 45% or massive 60% gear
reduction means you get tons of torque back to turn those tires so you’ll have
no issue pushing through the thickest peanut butter mud.

A
Gear Reduction That Protects Your Drivetrain
GDP puts the gear
reduction right in the portal hub, which means it comes after your drivetrain.
That makes this gear reduction reduce the stress on your axles, differential,
prop shaft, and transmission. So ride harder than stock and cause less wear
with GDP.

your machine’s potential.

Unmatched Gear Material

Our top-of-the-line gears are made from precision-ground 9310 alloy steel
so they mate perfectly each and every time. That gives you super quiet portals
no matter how hard you ride. Not to mention they’re bulletproof. They’re built
for battle and built for luxury.

Stronger Housings by
Design
Our portal housings are built on the back of experience.
We’ve done more field testing than anybody else and we know what makes our box
stronger. So whether you go with cast aluminum or choose USA-made billet
aluminum with a slick CNC-machined look, you’re getting portal boxes that can
stand up to everything out on the trail.

• Our housings are reinforced
  in all the right places
• They’re built with better oil flow and
  gearing forces in mind
• There are no gimmicks and no vents because
  vents do more harm than good—we know because we tested them

The Strongest Portal Backing Plates You Can Get
There’s
nothing stronger than our backing plates. What makes them so good? They’re
built with an advanced steel alloy that’s stronger than chromoly steel. And at
5/16” thick, these hand-welded plates won’t fold over or break even after
years of hard riding. In fact, they’re probably the strongest thing on your
machine.

Advanced Gaskets and Seals
Whether
you go with cast or billet, both housings use:

• Advanced gaskets with
  excellent oil resistance and a lower deterioration rate than Kevlar
  gaskets
• A sealed input gear and double-lipped output seal
• Rubber O-rings that completely seal the housings
• 100% sealing
  coverage throughout so you can forget about oil leaks

Bearings That Rock
Bearings that can take abuse are just
as important as gears. That’s why our output bearings are double-angular
contact bearings. They keep your output shaft running true when you’re loaded
down with a heavy machine and when your smashing into rocks and stumps. From
top to bottom, GDP is built for battle.

Universal Hubs and
Slotted Rotors
Our precision-ground, stainless steel slotted
rotors stay cool to give you the braking power you need when you need it. They
come with 4/156, 4/137, 4/115, and 4/110 bolt patterns and lugs. These are the
most popular bolt patterns so no matter what side-by-side wheels you get your
hands on, they’ll work on these hubs. We invented the tapered output shaft
that our hubs attach to, which provides a more secure lock that won’t wobble
or wear over time.

Reinforce Your UTV with a Frame
Stiffener
An 8” portal kit is a heavy-duty piece of hardware for
heavy-duty machines, and as awesome as the General is, it’s not quite up to
snuff. That’s why we highly recommend a frame stiffener. Trust us—we’ve hit
enough bumps to know that bending a stock frame can happen. Don’t do it. Get a
frame stiffener.

Max tire sizes are measured at full compression and full turn. The given tires sizes are the largest we fit without rubbing. With minor trimming or a small amount of rub, larger tire sizes can be used.

<!– Gear Down and Go Big
SuperATV’s GDP 8”
Portal Gear Lift for the Polaris General 1000 is geared down so you can go
big. It gives you a lift and a 45% gear reduction in one box. Get the
clearance to run bigger tires and the torque you need to turn them. The lift
and gear reduction are in the hub, so they maintain suspension geometry and
reduce drivetrain stress. With huge clearance, huge torque, and optional
billet aluminum housings, you can turn your machine into a high-ridin’, mud-
boggin’ monster.

Perfect for Mud
With 8”
portals and a 45% gear reduction, you get clearance for huge tires and a
massive boost in torque. It’ll turn monster tires like they’re stock. You will
have the most powerful mud flinging machine around. With 8” portals installed,
the party’s in your General.

Perfect for Rocks

Get tons of torque to crawl over any rock or boulder you can find by
installing an 8” portal box with a 45% gear reduction. With that much power,
there’s no boulder too big or crawl too technical. With 8” of clearance, you
won’t find a rock that can hang you up.

and gear reduction can unleash your machine’s potential.

Better Gears
Our gears are precision ground and made
with 9310 billet steel alloy. They’re designed to take all the torque and
abuse you can give them without chipping teeth or blowing up. Our precise
design and manufacturing mean they’re cool and quiet even when you’re
hammering down the throttle in the mud hole.

Micro
Polished Gears
If you want maximum performance, choose our
precision ground Micro Polished Gears. Micro Polishing is a process that
gently smooths out any imperfections in the surface of the metal during a two-
stage, non-abrasive, burnishing process that produces a chrome-like finish.
The result is unbelievably smooth gears that have almost zero friction or
resistance. This means better oil retention and a longer lifetime than other
gears. They will stay cool and quiet, while giving you a little more power to
the ground.

Billet Housings
Choose
billet or cast aluminum housings to finish your portals. Our billet housings
are CNC machined right here in Madison, Indiana and give you increased
strength and consistency over cast. Plus, they look good painted with mud.

Reinforce Your UTV with a Frame Stiffener
We
highly recommend running a SuperATV Frame Stiffener with your 8″ Portal Gear
Lift. The stock frame just doesn’t have what it takes. Bump too hard and the
OEM frame will bend. Trust us — we’ve done it. A frame stiffener reinforces
your frame enough to let you ride your 8″ portals with monster tires and no
worries.
