Polaris Off Road recently celebrated an SSV class win in Dakar, one of the most grueling off-road races in the world. Now the UTV company is bringing its race-winning platform to a select group of consumers.
Polaris has announced the RZR Pro R Factory, a $139,999 purpose-built racing machine created in collaboration with Scanlon Clarke Industries (SCi). This machine (for race use only) features numerous components built for conquering extreme conditions, including a one-piece high-strength steel chassis for lightweight durability and a 130L fuel cell for extended range.
Other features include an optional 255-horsepower, race-tuned ProStar Fury HO 2.0 engine that Polaris paired with a rear-mounted radiator, integrated transmission oil cooler, and dual 500W fans. The RZR Pro R Factory also includes a race-spec MaxLink suspension, FOX Live Valve X2 shocks, and a DYNAMIX DV race-tuned suspension with Baja Mode.
Simply put, this machine is built to conquer races in the toughest environment as it has while winning back-to-back SCORE Pro UTV Open class championships.
Own. Race. Win. The most dominant UTV racing platform in the industry can now be yours.

Of course, components built to conquer races across extreme conditions only make up part of the overall package. The RZR Pro R Factory also has technology to assist the driver. This includes a MoTeC system offering "real-time control and performance data logging." The system features military-spec wiring and a lightweight lithium battery built for extreme conditions.
Polaris says it will produce the RZR Pro R Factory in limited quantities annually, starting with only 30 in 2025.
"The RZR Pro R Factory represents the pinnacle of Polaris' off-road innovation, offering off-road racers and teams a unique opportunity to own a purpose-built machine designed to win," said Reid Wilson, President of Polaris Off Road, in a statement.
"Since its debut, we've received incredible interest and demand for the vehicle from other teams, fueled by its unmatched track record. By making this vehicle available, we're empowering more teams to elevate competition and set a new standard for off-road racing, further reinforcing Polaris' leadership in the industry."
