Polaris RZR RS1 Mud Build by RZR Life

Polaris RZR RS1

Some people just don’t understand the meaning of the term “good enough.” These are the folks who take something that is completely new, ground breaking and unlike anything else in the marketplace, and turn it into something even more extraordinary. Such is the case with David Uptain’s latest build project “Chewy.”

We can recall chatting with David back in February at King of the Hammers, just days after Polaris had released the new RZR RS1 platform. David, like many others, was chomping at the bit to get behind the wheel and after scoring some seat time, started planning out what type of build he would do with his own RS1 platform.

As a vehicle, the RZR RS1 is the ideal machine for a real driver’s driver looking to push beyond their limits, free from the care or concern of a backseat driver. The single-seat “driver only” position unlocks high-visibility sightlines to scan not only the trail ahead but the drivers peripheral as well. The compact 83″ wheelbase provides increased balance and feel within the chassis and the race-inspired driver ergonomics coupled with a 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 ultra-nimble 64” wide RZR RS1 features a 110-HP ProStar 1000 H.O. 4-Stroke DOHC Twin Cylinder engine and the same suspension as the RZR XP 1000 including Walker Evans Needle Shocks providing 21″ of travel. 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 rear 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.

For the average enthusiast, the RZR RS1 will suffice in stock form but for David Uptain, this RZR Life build needed to be something special and one of a kind. David enlisted the help of a number of his supporters to turn this already outstanding vehicle into one nasty mud machine. The only thing he needs to do to make it able to handle deep mud holes is add a snorkel for the CVT exhaust since the factory RS1 already brings the CVT and engine intakes up to the roof.
