Long Term Product Review
2009 Polaris RZR S
Gordons Well, Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area - October
2008
In completely stock form, and without even dropping air pressure
in the 26" Maxxis Bighorns, I was able to climb the hill at Patton Valley and
Test Hill. Both of these hills are the steepest that you will find in the
south part of the Imperial Sand Dunes.
For pure hilling climbing in the dunes, the RZR S definitely has more power
out of the box than the normal RZR and
also more than the Yamaha Rhino or Kawasaki Teryx.
Our full review of the RZR S is in Sand Addiction Magazine.
Glamis - January 2009
Check out the April 2009 issue of Sand Addiction for this photo on pages
72-73.
I put 125 miles on our Polaris RZR S this weekend in Glamis.
The RZR S ran flawlessly all over the dunes. We camped at pad 2 on
Gecko Rd. and covered everything from China Wall, the Flag Pole, Lizard
Hill, Oldsmobile Hill, Glamis Flats, Osborne Overlook and everywhere in
between.
Full trip report.
King of the Hammers - February 2009
Had to tow car 1734 back over to the trailer. I wouldn't recommend
doing this for long, but it worked fine for the short distance required
Side x Side Action Magazine also had their demo RZR S in camp, and we had
both out running all over the place on Friday during the buggy race.
I used the RZR S all week at Johnson Valley for a chase
vehicle and also to get to different parts of the race course to take
pictures. The terrain included everything from sand, to desert whoops,
to rock crawling. Put about 75 miles of very hard riding on the RZR S
and it performed flawlessly.
Sand Mountain - March 2009:
Father/Son weekend trip to
Sand
Mountain, NV. We had out RZR out as well. Put 75 miles on the RZR
S. Made it to the top of Sand Mountain, no problem. Took a long
desert ride over to Dixie Valley and then back up through End of the World.
The RZR S performed flawlessly.
