Most Agile RZR Ever Built, Features 110 HP and Industry First
Single-Seat SxS to Deliver the Unique Combination of Power Meeting
Precision
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Polaris is putting every open space and green-, desert- or
mountain-trail on notice with the arrival of the world’s first
single-seat RZR, the RZR RS1. The all-new RZR RS1
solo-cockpit format delivers a heightened sense of control and takes the
hard-charging trail riding experience to another level, thanks to the
perfect balance of power and precision.
The RZR RS1 is the ideal machine for a real driver’s driver
looking to push beyond their limits, free from care or concern of a
backseat driver. The single-seat center-of-mass position unlocks
high-visibility sightlines to oncoming terrain and provides increased
balance and feel within the chassis. The race-inspired driver ergonomics
and new steering position create extra room for active arm and leg
movement. The RZR RS1 is also equipped with a new brake system,
giving drivers the option of traditional single-foot action or
rally-inspired two-foot performance.
“The thing that you notice, right away with the RZR RS1, is that
it’s much more of a driver’s machine, and it really ties you more in the
driving experience,” said Tanner Foust, 3-time World Rally Cross
Champion. “You have center-cockpit, you have the involvement in seeing
the tires, and you have everything great about the fun of driving, taken
up a notch. Personally, I think the RZR RS1 is about the
gnarliest little wicked beast of a machine, that I have ever driven.”
The ultra-nimble 64” width RZR RS1 features a 110-HP ProStar 1000
H.O. 4-Stroke DOHC Twin Cylinder, the RZR XP® 1000’s suspension,
upgraded drivetrain and compact, 83-inch wheelbase. The new
precision-balanced chassis features a rear-mounted, dual-fan radiator
for maximum engine cooling and a new race-hardened drivetrain for
durability and instantaneous power. The RZR RS1 also adopts the
trailing-arm suspension of the RZR XP 1000, to absorb unrelenting
obstacles for the smoothest possible driving experience as you scythe
through the most twisting of trails.
The RZR RS1 boasts 20 vehicle-specific accessories and comes in
White Lightening and Black Pearl. The performance and power packed RZR
RS1 starts at a price of just $13,999 and will be available in
dealerships in February.
