Polaris Updates the RZR Lineup for 2026 and Adds Special Edition

RZR XP S

All-new for 2026 is the 72-inch wide RZR XP S Sport. Polaris calls it their "strongest trail machine to date," and it's a 2-seat rig designed for "riders who crave wide-open terrain capability at a competitive price point." It gets everything mechanically and structurally identical to the RZR XP, but benefits from a massive 72-inch wide stance. There's also 25 inches of usable suspension travel thanks in part to 2.5-inch WALKER EVANS Racing Velocity shocks, and the 32-inch Pro Armor Trekker tires help the XP S to 16 inches of ground clearance.

To make this a durable machine, Polaris adds heavy-duty front and prop shafts, upgraded 8-ball half shafts, a fully welded rear skid plate, and more. Ride Command is on board as well as is Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 Audio, the trademark RZR Fang accent lighting, a polycarbonate roof, and 4,500-pound winch. Pricing starts at $22,499.

RZR Pro R

The Pro R doesn't get any mechanical changes for the year, but all Pro R models still tout a 225-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a 74-inch wide stance, making it one of the biggest and baddest UTVs money can buy. What Polaris did update on the Pro R for 2026 is on the creature comfort side of things, with a new 10.4" vertical touchscreen-- the largest display in a powersports machine available on sale today-- that houses Ride Command and all audio controls. Polaris says this unit is 2.3 times larger and up to 8 times faster than that which it replaces.

2026 RZR Pro R Ultimate trims also get MaxLink suspension that makes for 29 inches of usable suspension travel, which is aided further by DYNAMIX DV semi-active dampers. These continually adjust the shocks to the terrain in real time. Pricing for the Pro R Ultimate starts at a cool $43,999.

RZR Pro S Calavera Edition / Day of the Dead Limited Edition

Polaris is celebrating its 10th anniversary of selling machines in Mexico, and to mark the occasion they have introduced the RZR Pro S Calavera Edition. It has custom graphics "inspired by the culture and terrain that helped shape the brand’s legacy." Under the hood is a turbocharged engine that cranks out 181 horsepower, and the suspension setup-- DYNAMIX Fox 3.0 Live Valve internal bypass shocks-- is good for 28 inches of travel. Special niceties inside include Ride Command and a Rockford Fosgate Stage 4 audio system.

Only 200 units will be made, and all will be individually numbered. Pricing starts at $40,999.

All of the above models as well as those not mentioned will reportedly start shipping to dealers in October.
