RZR RS1

POWER MEETS PRECISION

2021 RZR RS1 Indy Red is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 154.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from RZR RS1 Rumble In The Jungle Overall this unit Rocks, great suspension, ride comfort, handling, power are all top notch. The only con I have is that without fenders your gonna eat a lot of dirt and mud. I added the factor fenders but they come short of giving complete tire coverage and still allow a lot of tire spray to get by and wind up in your face. I understand it was built more for the sand dunes and trails but in the south we have mud and muddy trails... Even with the zero offset wheels the factor add-on fenders are not enough then add aftermarket +2 wheels and your right back to where you started without the fenders. Maybe the answer is to develop a model made specific for the muddy conditions, you may lose the racer appearance but still have the same performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing machine What can I say this machine is something else. Its difficult for me to put it into words and review. If you haven't driven an RS1 I can only suggest going and driving one. They are an adventure for sure. In a bigger guy and the power this machine has is great. Imagine yourself in a Star Wars land speeder!!!! If I could ride in one thats what I think it might be like. I did have an issue with the shifter cable breaking 2 days after I took delivery but Polaris had it rush shipped and the dealer had it fixed the day the part came in and no issues since replacement. Its a fun ride go buy one!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Rs1 woods dominance Coming from several different machines and widths and power let me tell you this. The rs1 is a tight woods dominator. Mind blowing ability to hit the tight trails at speed and being center seated makes you think you can drive through a door at speed. The left brake pedal took some time to adjust to but after about 30 mins it blows your mind at how well it works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Insane machine!! I have had this machine about 4 months now and it has impressed me in absolutely every aspect. From mud, to hills, to high speed trails, low speed crawling, sand. It's by far the best machine I have ever purchased

Rated 4 out of 5 by from What a great car! I have just over 300 miles on my RS1 and am very happy with it, my problem is that i let my wife drive it and then she wanted one too! So we just purchased our 2nd RS1 3 weeks ago.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Some good I have had the machine for a couple of months and the cover on the back that is over the radiator fans has come off and can't be located, when I spoke to the Polaris dealer he stated that they are having trouble with those things coming off, prior to the RS 1 I have owned 5 Polaris machines and no one is willing to cut me a discount on the radiator fan cover that came off under normal driving, I have had a 325 ACE, 570 ACE, XP4 900, XP4 1000 and an XP 100 and this has never happened to any of them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fun factor 100 I've had my RS1 for a couple months now but have only gotten to take it for one real outing. Went to Little Sahara in Oklahoma. I had a grin on my face for 3 days strait. Being 50 years old and having 35 years of high performance dune ATV's (ATC250, TRX250R, TRX450R) I was more than pleased of just how fun this unit is. My plan with this unit is to ride in more areas than just sand. I wish to do much more trail riding in Arkansas with this unit Rocky, wooded, and hilly. The suspension and handling is awesome. I was very pleased with my purchase. There are a few things that I wish Polaris would make available for the RS1. Call me crazy, but I'd like a turbo. In sand, there is no such thing as too much power. I'd really like Ride Command for the GPS, along with a back up camera. Backing up is totally blind. Bead locks would be great as well. I really like the 29's, but I'll be purchasing larger tires (31-32) and beadlocks sooner than later. Retractable 4 point harnesses is a no brainer. The regular seat belt to a 4 point was my first and immediate upgrade. The Polaris retractable ones would be great, but I had to settle for Dragon Fire. I immediately upgraded the insufficient skid plates as well. KO-ing my transmission on a rock is almost inevitable with those puny factory skids. So, those are my suggestions to make this awesome little toy even better. Ride Command would be at the top of that list..... I hope that Polaris will offer those things in a version of the RS1 because I can see me buying another one of these in the future to add to the fleet. These reasons is the only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star. For the unit itself, it's excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from White Lightning is right! What a fun machine! So quick compared to even the turbos. And on the track it is awesome.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from VERY RESPONSIVE POWER !!! A RS1 was brought into the shop for a service. After servicing the machine and doing the test ride I fell in love with it. So I bought one. The instant throttle response and the quick steering. For an aggressive driver this is the best thing on the market. Being able to see both front wheels and the left foot braking. Simply Awesome !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely Fun to Drive I bought my 2019 RZR RS 1 in late August and have put around 180 miles on it at three different ATV trails in Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is a bast to ride and turns head everywhere I go. The handling is unmatched by any other UTV I have driven. You feel like part of the machine while zipping up and down the mountain side trails.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Super fun Bought this for my wife and she loves it it’s an absolute blast. I steal it from her every chance I get we love driving this little beast powerful fast so much fun. Only issue I have are some of the components are not strong enough to take the off-road abuse. Broke the stock half shafts and replace with stronger ones. Bent the front A arms and have replaced with stronger after market ones as well. It is a pretty stout ride but has some weak areas when you drive it hard.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Awesome machine Got the unit back in March. Just had the 25 hour service done on the unit. Love the ride. Only complaint is the noise from the suspension. OMG, I could pull my hair out sometimes it gets so bad and loud.
Date published: 2018-06-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from This machine does everything very well Every time I ride it I'm surprised me how it excites the sensuous. This is the 5th ATV I've had and by leaps and bounds it's better at everything I can through at. It scares me to death how fast it is but the suspension is so good that it never gets out of control. Trail's that took me 45 minutes to complete before I can now do it in about 30 minutes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Centered driving position is a real treat. There is no better East/Midwest forest trails UTV than this. Having a centered driving position and perfect wheelbase makes this model excel in this environment. And lets not forget that the RS1 has the best front dif on the market and includes the turbo transaxle and CVT setup as well. No more reverse chain in the trans that was prone to breaking. Polaris has pretty much eliminated all the old issues. I expect this unit to perform well for years to come.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from good machine the only gripe i have is the top cage crossbar (where the rearview mirror would attach) was "cockeyed". The two mounts for this cross bar were welded off center. i am a fabricator by profession but even my buddies notice this right away and some of them are seriously mechanically challenged. otherwise a good machine

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Like so far Have only had machine for a couple months. Like so far with exception to bending weak lower control arms first ride and clunky clutch noise which I would like to hear back from Polaris with regard to how to rectify.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and fun Have about 600 miles on so far and loving it. Great power, fuel range and suspension is amazing. Could use a little better fender coverage and vent for clutch is way too low

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great overall machine I bought this machine in early spring and have enjoyed on every ride. Overall the machine is great to ride but is missing some things that would make it perfect. Suspension is awesome and soaks up the rough with ease. Visibility is an issue out the back and makes loading and parking an issue. Power is good and never leaves you wanting more. Needs more accessories available for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Plenty of leg room for a tall guy. I sat in every machine I could find. I wanted a side by side. My knees were so close to everything I decide to wait and try the rs1. Once I sat in one I knew it was the right machine for me. When I found one in the color I wanted I called and put a down payment without ever driving one. No regrets..it's a ripper! Roomy, nimble, powerfull, and it looks great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from RS1 IS THE BOMB!!! I have 4 or 5 other atv/side by sides and love to ride this the most!!!
Date published: 2019-12-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best side by side EVER! The RS1 is awesome! It does everything I always wanted side by sides to do - jump & rail corners without fear of rolling it over. I have a YXZ 1000R and there is no comparison in the two rigs. I put the NEW riders in the RS1 and the skilled riders in the YXZ and the RS1 still smokes them.Everyone feels safe riding the RS1.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Fun machine, but overpriced The RS1 is an absolute hoot to drive. I love ripping around in it. The power is great, it handles well, and the suspension is pretty good. It lacks anything that resembles convenience or versatility for comfort, though. There is little to no aftermarket support for it, so you pay an absolutely ridiculous amount of money for Polaris accessories. It has almost no usable storage without purchasing the door, dash, and rear bags, and they are obscenely overpriced. When I say no storage, I mean if you want to bring more than a water bottle, phone, wallet, and a sandwich you are going to struggle. It's pretty sad. The "rack" on the back sits over the engine and radiator, so it gets very hot. No good for a cooler. You can't put a fuel can there either as it is directly below the intake, and fumes going into your intake is a bad deal. The RS1 is a specialty vehicle so you get very little wiggle room on the price too. It cannot do ANYTHING but go fast. No towing or hauling of any kind. That's fine, it's a racer, not a worker. The price doesn't reflect these limitations and it's not communicated very well at all. The automotive seatbelts is ok, but it really should have a self-retracting harness for the price. The belt also mounts so high up that it will run across you neck, and there is no adjustability either. I am short and its across my neck, but my 6'2" friend has the same issue. It is poorly placed. I love the RS1, but I wish I had been mor thorough in my research. For the price and its limitations I could have picked up an ACE 570 or the older ACE 900 (not the wider one) and had more versatility, more storage, no width restrictions, I could move it without a trailer, and had more money in my pocket. The RS1 is great for speed, but it shouldn't be priced as high as it is because it is so limited in its abilities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hot Rod I bought this in June 2020 about the time the heat started. As a result I haven't had it out as much as I would have liked. Just a thought though, I think it should come standard with at least a 4 point harness if not a 5 point. As far as I can tell so far its going to be a great ride.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ITS AWESOME I have 3 of the RS1, I was so impressed with the first one , I purchased one for my wife and one for my son , everyone want to drive ! this machine is super agile , very forgiving and keeps up with the turbo models , it will climb just about anything and has more than enough power ,
Date published: 2019-04-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Permanent Smile Maker! Best decision made hands down! The RS1 in high speed corners is absolutely rediculous and ride is A+!! Power to weight is insane and after every ride you never leave the cockpit without a smile like the joker on your face! (And yes, it feels just like a fighter jet!)
Date published: 2019-07-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Takes off road to another level It's hard to explain to another rider the total package these RS1 provide. This is my second RS1 and every ride gets better. There like if you send tech's into a warehouse and told them to pick the best of parts we have and have no budget ….. lets build the best !
