Polaris RZR RS1

Single-Seat Action At Its Best!

Power Without the Extra Weight

Cranking out a formidable 168hp in a very lightweight and aerodynamic package, the power-to-weight ratio of the RS1 is truly something to behold as you feel it coursing through the frame with every press of the pedal. Every part of this machine is committed to doing two things: going fast and handling well. It’s no wonder that desert racers looking to pull crazy acceleration numbers run with the RS1. Trail riders of the same mindset also love how the RS1 responds to every little input like it's reading your mind. You think about changing direction and boom, it's already happening. The weight balance is so dialed in that you can throw this thing around technical terrain in ways that would be impossible when you've got passengers shifting around and messing with your center of gravity.

Suspension That Soaks Up Everything

The RS1 rocks 22 inches of rear suspension travel with Walker Evans needle shocks that are tuned specifically for one rider going absolutely ham on rough terrain. Since there's no back seat crew to keep happy, the suspension can be set up way more aggressively to handle big hits and maintain control at speeds that would rattle passengers' teeth out. Rock crawlers love how the suspension articulates and keeps all four tires planted on gnarly terrain where you need every bit of traction you can get.

High-speed desert bombing becomes a whole different experience when your suspension can absorb monster hits without having to worry about passenger comfort. The RS1 eats up whoops, jumps, and rough terrain that would have passengers begging you to slow down, letting you maintain pace through sections that force other riders to back off.

Cockpit Built for Going Fast

The single-seat setup puts you right in the sweet spot for control and feedback, with everything positioned exactly where you need it for maximum attack mode. You sit dead center with perfect weight distribution and clear sight lines for reading terrain and picking the fastest lines through challenging sections. The racing-style seating position and control layout let you stay completely dialed in during aggressive riding where every input matters and there's no room for sloppy technique.

Competitive riders dig the cockpit because it's designed like a proper race car rather than trying to accommodate different people with different preferences. Everything is where it should be for serious performance riding, and the feedback you get from the machine helps you push harder and ride smarter through terrain that demands total focus.

The RS1 Difference

The RS1 delivers focused single-model approach without a bunch of different trim levels that water down what this machine is really about. It comes with all the hardware and features you would expect out of a top-tier utility machine, but without the frills. She’s pared down for raw speed, and we’re here for it! 

RS1 Frequently Asked Questions

What if I want to bring people?

The RS1 is built for riders who want pure performance over the ability to haul passengers around. If bringing buddies matters to your riding style, two-seat or four-seat models give you way more flexibility. But plenty of serious riders find that the performance gains from single-seat design are worth more than passenger capacity for their main riding goals.

How much faster is the RS1 compared to two-seat models?

The performance difference is pretty dramatic when you're really pushing it. Better acceleration, sharper handling, and way more agility thanks to less weight and better weight distribution. The gap becomes huge during aggressive riding where the RS1's responsiveness and power-to-weight ratio create capabilities that heavier machines just can't match, though two-seat models give you passenger flexibility that the RS1 obviously can't.
