Polaris' 2026 Ranger And RZR Lineup Will Be Revealed On October 15th
There ain't no rest for the wicked, or at least that's what the side-by-side market would have you believe. With never-ending upgrades and perpetually improving competition, it's vital for manufacturers to continuously update their offerings, especially in hyper-competitive segments.
Ever striving to be the leader in the models' respective categories, Polaris is again updating and subsequently revealing an assortment of rigs for the 2026 model year. This year's big reveal will be on October 15th, during which there will allegedly be "two updated icons and one all‑new RZR model – designed to feast on your favorite type of terrain."
What can we deduce from that snippet? Well, the former "two updated icons" aspect is probably just that there's new equipment-- a la suspension or screen tech-- available on some Ranger models, and the latter (the "all-new RZR model") is likely an assortment of improvements and upgrades tossed at a RZR to create an "all-new" trim. We don't expect it to be anything much more than that because in today's world of social media, brands are all about the long-lead teasers, and there hasn't really been anything of the sort from Polaris save for this announcement.
Is it going to be anything spectacular? We'll have to wait and see. Or, "Respect the fangs," as Polaris says.
