All-New Polaris-Engineered RZR Pro R Factory Boost Delivers 400 Horsepower and Purpose-Built Enhancements for Open Desert Racing, Joining the RZR Pro R Factory in Polaris' Race Machine Lineup Available for Purchase
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris and RZR Factory Racing today unveiled the all-new RZR Pro R Factory Boost at the company's annual Camp RZR event at Glamis Imperial Sand Dunes. Delivering up to 400 horsepower, the RZR Pro R Factory Boost is designed and developed by Polaris engineers and built in Roseau, Minnesota, bringing a bigger, stronger and even more capable package to the race-proven platform.
Joining rather than replacing the existing Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory, the new model gives racers another purpose-built option with a different level of performance and capability. Together, the two platforms strengthen Polaris' race vehicle lineup and its commitment to delivering race-ready side-by-sides designed to rule every race.
The RZR Pro R Factory Boost builds on the foundation established by the recently introduced production RZR Pro R Boost while incorporating proven components and lessons learned from the Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory. Engineered specifically for competition, the new race machine further refines power delivery, chassis design, cooling and suspension to meet the demands of high-speed desert racing.
"The Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory has proven itself as the benchmark in the side-by-side category and demonstrated our ability to compete among the best, beating all other UTVs in virtually every major offroad race in the world. With the RZR Pro R Factory Boost, we're building on that success with a clear goal: to keep pushing the boundaries of performance and give our team and customers every advantage to continue winning at the highest level," said Alex Scheuerell, Polaris' Director of Off-Road Motorsports. "Desert racing demands strength, speed and durability across hundreds of miles, and we've engineered this platform to take on the next level of competition. We're ready to put it to the test and push for results that reflect the ambition of our team."
The RZR Pro R Factory Boost includes the following race modifications:
- Turbocharged Power – A race-tuned, turbocharged ProStar Fury 2.0L four-cylinder engine delivers up to 400 horsepower for commanding holeshots, high-speed passes, and the power to attack demanding terrain.
- Performance Race-Spec Chassis – The reinforced chassis features a wheelbase extended by 6.5 inches to a total of 111 inches, for greater straight-line stability and control over rough terrain. Increased tubing size across key structural members adds strength and stiffness to support higher speeds and the demands of desert racing.
- Competition-Ready Cockpit and Cage – Redesigned with driver feedback in mind, the all-new cage design delivers added strength, while a cab that's two inches wider provides more cockpit space for improved comfort and legroom. The expanded design transforms the feel from a traditional side-by-side to a purpose-built race car.
- Full Carbon Fiber Bodywork with Aerodynamic Design – Sculpted carbon fiber bodywork and an arched roofline reduce weight and improve aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds. Polaris engineers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model airflow at speeds exceeding 100 mph, informing the cage shape and redesigned rear body profile to optimize airflow and support high-speed desert racing performance.
- Upgraded Fuel System – A 45-gallon (170-liter) fuel cell increases capacity over the previous-generation RZR Pro R Factory's 34-gallon system, extending its range beyond 200 miles to reduce pit stops.
- MoTeC Components – The fully integrated MoTeC electronics package features an upgraded M150 ECU and dual power distribution modules, adding a second PDM over the Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory for expanded power distribution and control capabilities.
- Race-Tuned DYNAMIX DV Suspension – Three-inch internal bypass DYNAMIX DV Live Valve shocks feature race-specific components and upgraded one-inch shock shafts for increased strength and a broader dynamic range. Race-specific tuning maintains control across changing terrain, while a standard FOX steering damper absorbs large impacts to improve steering control and driver confidence at high speeds.
The RZR Pro R Factory Boost is available to order now in limited quantities through SCI Distribution, LLC, an exclusive distributor, with the first order window closing February 15, 2027. Starting at $200,000 US MSRP, the new race machine will be offered alongside the continued availability of the championship-proven RZR Pro R Factory, giving racers two platforms to choose from based on their performance needs and racing goals. Polaris will produce the RZR Pro R Factory Boost with SCI managing the sales and post-sale customer support process.
