The Polaris RZR Pro R Factory side-by-side and the Sébastien Loeb Racing team won the 46th edition of the Dakar Rally after a tremendous display of determination, skill and endurance, covering 5000km throughout 12 arduous stages that took place across Saudi Arabia.
Based on the RZR Pro R platform, the all-new RZR Pro R Factory was unveiled last year as the centrepiece for the Polaris Factory Racing team, setting a new precedent within the UTV industry with its race-ready specification. Utilising a high-strength, lightweight FIA T4 class-compliant chassis, a race-tuned ProStar Fury 2.0L engine, and Fox Factory Race ESC Evo 3.0 Internal Bypass shocks, the SLR RZR Pro R Factory vehicles are now proven to be capable of withstanding the demands of the Dakar Rally.
On a more mundane level, Polaris Off-Road Vehicles has announced that the all-electric Ranger XP Kinetic is now available with an exclusive two-year 0% finance offer for business customers in the UK. The Ranger XP Kinetic features an all-electric powertrain specially engineered for off-road use.

Delivering maximum power and quick acceleration, the Ranger XP Kinetic can effortlessly tow up to 1134kg and boasts a claimed industry-best 680kg payload capacity.
