Polaris Off Road is doubling down for 2026 with a second wave of big announcements that are sure to get the off-road community buzzing. Building on more than a decade of rider feedback, the all-new RZR XP and wider, more aggressive RZR XP S are redefining trail performance and durability. Add in a redesigned RZR Pro R that now packs the largest touchscreen in the industry, plus special-edition RZR and Ranger models that celebrate milestones and regional pride and Polaris has made it clear they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
The Next Evolution of RZR XP: Built From Rider Feedback
Over the past 11 years, the RZR XP has become a legend in the off-road world. For 2026, Polaris has reimagined this fan favorite from the ground up. A bold new front fascia with menacing RZR Fang lights and a low-profile bull bumper give the XP a meaner look, while a reinforced chassis with beefed-up suspension mounts and full underbody protection improves both strength and driveline longevity.
The RZR XP Sport model runs on a 114-horsepower ProStar 1000 engine, delivering the kind of smooth, confident power that makes tight trails and rocky climbs feel effortless. With 20 inches of usable travel, 29-inch tires, and Walker Evans Precision Tuned Needle shocks, this rig is built to handle just about anything you can throw at it.
For those craving a little more tech and luxury, the RZR XP Ultimate ups the ante with Ride Command, Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 Audio, a poly roof, 30-inch tires, and a 4,500-pound winch. Whether you’re hitting dunes, mud, or mountain passes, the XP lineup keeps comfort and control front and center.
Meet The All-New Polaris RZR XP S: Wider, Stronger, Meaner
If the RZR XP is the standard-bearer, the RZR XP S is the enforcer. Sporting a 72-inch stance and 25 inches of suspension travel, this all-new machine is built for those who want to go faster, climb higher, and push harder. With upgraded driveline components including heavy-duty front and prop shafts, 8-ball half shafts, and a fully welded rear skid plate, the XP S is ready for whatever the trail may offer.
Three drive modes (Standard, Sport, and Rock) let you tailor throttle response to terrain, while 32-inch Pro Armor Trekker tires and 2.5-inch Walker Evans Racing Velocity shocks deliver maximum grip and control. Available in Sand Dune or Stealth Gray, the RZR XP S Ultimate also brings serious tech and style, including Ride Command, Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 Audio, accent fang lighting, a sport roof, and a 4,500-pound winch.
Polaris didn’t forget about customization either. The company offers over 60 accessories ready to bolt on, from a Rockford Fosgate audio roof to redesigned bumpers and portable fuel cans.
Polaris RZR Pro R: The King Gets A Tech Upgrade
When it comes to pure performance, the RZR Pro R continues to reign supreme. And now it’s smarter than ever. The 2026 RZR Pro R Ultimate comes equipped with a new 10.4-inch vertical touchscreen powered by Ride Commad, the largest display in powersports. This massive screen is 2.3 times larger than before, with lightning-fast processing and split-screen capability, letting riders track their route and monitor vehicle systems at the same time.
Beneath that screen beats the heart of the beast: a 225-horsepower ProStar Fury 2.0 four-cylinder engine that thrives in dunes and open desert. With a 74-inch stance, 104.5-inch wheelbase, and 29 inches of usable travel via the MaxLink suspension, the Pro R eats whoops for breakfast. DYNAMIX DV semi-active suspension constantly adapts to the terrain, giving riders precise control even at full throttle.
The 2026 RZR Pro R Ultimate is available in Indy Red, White Crystal, Super Graphite, and Purple Thunder—a fitting color palette for one of the most dominant UTVs on the planet.
A Tribute to Mexico: The Limited RZR Pro S Calavera Edition
Polaris is celebrating a decade of success in Mexico with the limited-run RZR Pro S Calavera Edition—a wild, 200-unit special featuring Calavera-inspired graphics that honor the region’s culture and terrain. It packs a 181-horsepower turbocharged engine, 28 inches of travel, and DYNAMIX with Fox 3.0 Live Valve shocks that automatically adapt to changing conditions.
Equipped with Ride Command, Rockford Fosgate Stage 4 audio, and signature orange fang lights inspired by the RZR Factory Racing Team, the Calavera Edition is built for high-speed performance with serious style.
