Probably the most popular big-inch sled of the era was the Indy powered by a carbureted cc piston port triple. This somewhat unsophisticated 2-stroke made turbine-like power and, in combination with Polaris P clutching, delivered performance way beyond expectations. When Polaris announced its intention to build the same sled with electronic fuel injection, the naysayers were upset, probably because they felt it meant you could no longer make engine modifications to jack horsepower and performance beyond stock. The naysaying continued until the day after the first person rode an RXL. The difference between it and the carbed was profound.

The end result would be a multi-million dollar judgment in favor of Injection Research Specialists. To keep the cc triple cool, Polaris used aluminum extrusions mounted under the runningboard. Based on the carbureted that conquered the Formula III World Championship in , the fuel-injected version was said to add more performance and even increase fuel efficiency up to 10 percent. The fuel injected motor differed from the carbureted version. The cylinders and heads were unique to the EFI triple, helping the engine breathe easier and boosting power. The intake consisted of three 46mm butterfly throttle bodies. For the rider, RXL throttle action was quick due to its light pull.
