On The Trail

Ten years sure does go by fast. Yes, a decade ago is when Polaris introduced the RZR XP 1000 to the side-by-side world and created the sport segment of the industry in the process. The 2014 Polaris RZR XP 1000 was truly a revolutionary vehicle for the time with time making it the number one selling sport side-by-side on the market. Here we are a decade later with Polaris introducing a completely new RZR XP 1000 for 2024.

Polaris has annouced the recall of 2022 and 2023 RZR Pro R and Pro R 4 models. Below are the details and what to do to fix the problem.

At the dawn of 2022, Polaris made a HUGE announcement with the release of the biggest, baddest, most powerful RZR ever with the RZR Pro R. Complete with a 225 horsepower inline 4 cylinder engine, 29 inches of usable travel, a bullet-proof build quality, and a new DV DYNAMIX FOX live valve suspension, the Polaris RZR Pro R is the "most" of everything. In this video we breakdown the RZR Pro R details on a RZR Pro R 4. Look for our review video coming soon. 

Join me in a dreaming moment here and envision this – you’re cruising down backroads caked in red dirt (does Brooks & Dunns “Red Dirt Road” song come to mind here?). You’ve got the tunes on low, your road trip buddy is next to you, some delicious chips and snacks are scattered between you, and wild horses are cruising right next to your vehicle. There is literally NO ONE around for miles, it’s just you, your significant other, your truck and wild horses…. Come out of your dream state now, my

At the far North end of the Grand Canyon, at the place where an unassuming dirt runway and long winding dirt road collide, lies the gateway to an ATV and UTV riders’s dream of adventure and exploration, and views that burn in one’s mind for a lifetime. This place is the land of rugged terrain, vast canyons, raging rivers, and the place outlaws ran for solace from “the law”. This place embodies everything the American West stands for, and to this day appeals to those wishing to experience the adv

In February of 2022 a new undisputed most powerful side-by-side was crowned with the introduction of the Polaris Pro R. At 225 horsepower, 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine, 24.5-inches of travel, FOX LIVE VALVE shocks, and all kinds of durablilty and technology this RZR is THE beast. If you want the fastest, most capable, and priciest sport side-by-side on the planet then this is your RZR. That said, how is it really, and how does this RZR really perform? Is it worth all the hype?

We are suckers for watching what a sport side-by-side is capable of when placed in the hands of a really good driver.... which is not us!  When it comes to a really good driver, RJ Anderson truly makes the top of the list. In this video we watch RJ absolutely tear up the track at the famous Mammoth Mountain Motoscross track for our view enjoyment. 

It is that time of the year when next year’s models abound with Polaris being no exception. Polaris recently announced the introduction of the initial batch of 2023 Polaris RZR models. What has changed for 2023 in the Polaris RZR lineup you might ask. In a single word: Colors. Yep, that is it. There are no updates, new models, or new features. This is not a big surprise considering Polaris blew out the industry with the release of both the Polaris RZR Pro R and RZR Turbo R families earlier this y

This year has proven to be a big year for both Polaris and the pure sport-wide open side-by-side crowd with the release of the RZR Turbo R and RZR Pro R side-by-sides. We saw all the specs and sat on the call when Polaris walked through all the details of these vehicles, and they are on paper truly amazing. The question that remains is if these new side-by-sides can live up to the expectations. AJ with Dirt Trax TV answers that question in this performance review video.
