POLARIS RZR THEN AND NOW

 

  Did you know the first RZR 800 was actually called the Polaris Ranger RZR? That machine was anything but a boxy Ranger utility machine and it quickly dropped that portion of the name to build the RZR-sharp brand that has exploded over the years.

  We wanted to take a quick look at how much the RZR has changed over the years with a spec comparison of the 2008 Polaris Ranger RZR800 and the 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R.

The latest RZR is twice heavy and four times as powerful but less than 50-perfect larger in length and width. The price has tripled but so has the amount of options you can get on a new RZR. Furthermore, on the good side, you can still get a 50”inch wide, 900cc model for only $2000 more than this original 800.
