A Prop Shaft as Tough as Your RZR
Meet Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts from SuperATV—the last prop shaft you will ever buy for your Polaris RZR XP 1000. Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts are the strongest prop shafts you can get and come paired with C-Series CV joints or U-series U-joints that wear less and run smooth. Bolster your driveline’s backbone with SuperATV’s expertise. Upgrade to a Rhino Driveline Prop Shaft and drive your Polaris RZR XP 1000 like you never could before.
Superior Construction
We 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 also 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.
C-Series
For ultimate strength and protection, get a C-Series prop shaft. The C-Series uses a CV joint built with a chromoly cage, spider, and cup, just like an axle, for superior strength. The high-quality boot keeps out mud, water, and dirt. The constant velocity of the CV means no rattle, wobble, or balance issues are possible. It’s the ultimate joint, and the smart choice for any ride style.
U-Series
U-Series U-joints are just 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’re a solid upgrade for riders who are tired of replacing stock U-joints.
Use with Our Cast or Billet Aluminum Carrier Bearings
Our Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts are compatible with SuperATV Carrier Bearings only. 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.
When 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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes a heavy‑duty prop shaft worth upgrading on a Polaris RZR XP 1000?
A stronger prop shaft gives you a smoother, more reliable driveline when you’re pushing big tires, high horsepower, or rough terrain. Our Rhino Driveline shafts use 4130 chromoly tubing, which is significantly stronger than the OEM carbon‑steel shaft for better longevity and impact resistance.
Will the Rhino Driveline prop shaft fit my Polaris RZR XP 1000?
Yes, Rhino Driveline prop shafts are built specifically for Polaris RZR XP 1000 and RZR XP 4 1000 models, with options for front, rear, or full‑length replacement. You can choose U‑Series or C‑Series configurations depending on the joints you prefer.
How hard is it to install a SuperATV heavy‑duty prop shaft?
Installation is straightforward with our downloadable instructions and included hardware. If you want extra help, our Virtual Mechanic can walk you through the process on a live video call to ensure everything is aligned and torqued correctly.
What is the difference between U‑Series and C‑Series Rhino Driveline prop shafts?
U‑Series uses heavy‑duty U‑joints that run smooth and resist wear, while C‑Series uses CV joints for riders who want maximum articulation and consistent performance at all angles. Both options are engineered to outperform stock and handle aggressive riding.
How much stronger is a Rhino Driveline prop shaft compared to stock?
Our Rhino Driveline shafts use .120” wall thickness and a 1.75” diameter chromoly tube, which is larger and thicker than the OEM shaft. That added size and material strength gives you a driveline that can take harder hits and higher torque loads.
Does a heavy‑duty prop shaft reduce vibration or driveline noise?
Yes, upgrading to a Rhino Driveline shaft helps smooth out vibration thanks to tighter tolerances, stronger joints, and better balance. You’ll feel more consistent power delivery, especially when running lifts, portals, or oversized tires.
Do I need a new carrier bearing when installing a Rhino Driveline prop shaft?
You can reuse your existing carrier bearing, but many riders upgrade to a cast or billet carrier for added strength and smoother operation. We offer multiple carrier options so you can match your setup and riding style.
