Minneapolis, MN (1/31/2018)
- 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.”
