2010 Polaris RZR S Line Up
Not many changes have been made to the Polaris RZR S for 2010.
The RZR S does have a new ROPS Certified Cab.
Available in Pearl White with Black Rally Stripe or Orange Madness Limited
Edition model.
We'll just have to wait for that 850cc engine until later...


2009 Polaris RANGER RZR Line Up
The Most Complete Razor Sharp Performance Line UpIntroduced last year, the
RANGER RZR took the side-by-side industry by
storm as the fastest-accelerating and only trail-capable side-by-side on the
market. Built for play first and work second, the RANGER RZR became the
most sought-after machine for 2008.
For 2009,
along with improving the current RANGER RZR, the line up gets even better
with the introduction of the new RANGER RZR S.
“Our RANGER RZR line up for 2009 appeals to the various types of
recreational riders,” said Matt Homan, GM of the Polaris Side-by-Side Division.
“The RANGER RZR offers the only trail capable 50-inch width,
perfect for trail riders, hunters and sport riders. The new RANGER RZR
S has a top speed of 63 MPH, 60-inch width, long
travel suspension and premium performance features on a stock model making it
the ultimate, sport side-by-side.”

RZR Performance Header
The new
RANGER RZR S delivers unmatched performance using an 800
H.O. EFI Polaris twin engine that churns out 55 HP and a 63 MPH top speed for the serious
adrenaline junkie.

To complement the screaming speed, the RANGER RZR
S features Polaris’ exclusive, long travel suspension kit that widens the
vehicle to 60-inches for aggressive corning and power slides. High performance
features such as twelve inches of long-travel suspension, Chrome-Moly upper
front A-arms and adjustable Fox® performance shocks with Podium reservoirs not
only ensures an awesome ride but is unmatched by the competition.
Along with awesome performance, RANGER RZR S features aggressive
styling including custom Turbo Silver paint with race-inspired graphics, fender
flairs, a Stealth Black cab with extended cab frame supports and 26-inch Maxxis
Big-Horn tires with 12 inch, eight-spoke aluminum rims for an ultra-aggressive
look.
With a top speed of 55 MPH the RANGER RZR is still the fastest accelerating
side-by-side on the market and the only one with a trail-capable 50-inch width
and lowest center of gravity. While RANGER RZR S is built
specifically for the sport market who demand long-travel suspensions and
aftermarket parts, RANGER RZR is a recreational machine built for
the big bore trail rider, hunters and sport side-by-side enthusiasts who need
trail capability that only the 50-inch RANGER RZR can provide. With a
cargo bed rated for 300 lbs with 12 tie-down points, 1500 lb. towing capacity,
under-hood storage and a wide variety of PURE Polaris accessories including a
winch, plow mount, cabs and Lock & Ride cargo systems, RANGER RZR
is a versatile side-by-side that plays first, works second.
For 2009, RANGER RZR and RANGER RZR S have improved,
low-speed drivability due to the inclusion of a heel pocket which allows more
controlled operation of the gas pedal. Operators also will find improved
transmission shifting, a more durable shoulder bolster, reduced exhaust noise
and covered, under-seat storage.

The RZR Sport has a rear anti-sway bar like the normal RZR, but no front
anti-sway bar.

Unfortunately, the engine many had hoped would end up in the RZR only made
it into the
2009 Sportsman ATV. The 850c twin EFI churns out 70 horsepower.
