Polaris Ranger RZR 4 Awarded "UTV of the Year"
1-10-11, ATHENS, OHIO – The Polaris RZR 4 was named “UTV of the Year” in a contest hosted by UTVUnderground.com & UTVGuide.net, and sponsored by Black Rhino Performance. The industry’s first four seat sport UTV beat out twelve other UTVs to claim top honors in the first ever UTV of the Year contest.
This vote really goes to show that UTVs are really family-based vehicles and that Polaris really hit a home run when they introduced the RZR 4 just last year.
Participants in the voting on UTVUnderground.com were all in the running for some great prizes from Black Rhino Performance.
“Polaris saw a market for a multi-passenger Sport vehicle at a significantly lower price than an expensive Sand Car or Rail,” said Eric Nault, product manager for RANGER RZR 4. “The RANGER RZR 4 fills that need for a Sport Side-by-Side experience for multiple passengers.” The RANGER RZR 4 has all the performance and attributes of the RANGER RZR family and the ability to carry four people. With a powerful 800cc High Output Twin EFI engine, the RANGER RZR 4 has a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and strong acceleration. Its 60-inch/152.4cm width coupled with RANGER RZR’s patented design that places the engine behind the back seat for the lowest center of gravity, makes the RANGER RZR 4 more agile than most competitive two-seat Side-by-Sides. At 1,255 lbs/569.3 kg., it’s also lighter than many two-passenger vehicles.
“Customer response to the RANGER RZR 4 is great,” said Jeff Wood, President of Don Wood Polaris, Athens, Ohio. “The 4-seater lets everyone go along for the fun, and the performance is impressive because of the RANGER RZR 4′s light weight.”
Polaris Ranger RZR 4 Features:
[Side x Side Industry News]
Jagged X raced their Project X Monster Rock RANGER RZR as an interim race car. While the car had a good deal of the required structure in place it still required some long nights and some hard work to ready transform the purpose-built rock crawler into a competitive desert racer.
The Parker race was problem-free from flag to flag. This is the team’s only race with a full field land rush start where they came up a bit short and fell into the pack around sixth. After two laps, Brandon Schueler and co-pilot Mike West battled their way into the second place position but could not quite reel in the first place runner before time ran out.
With the points chase for the BITD championship very tight, Jagged X looks toward August and the famed “Vegas to Reno” to kick off the second half of the season.
Jeff Wood, President of Don Wood Polaris, supports the Jagged X project that is sponsored by Polaris Industries, Mountain States Contracting, Elka Suspension, CR Designs, S&S Off Road, Simpson Products, ATL Fuel Systems, Tire Balls, MTA, Vision X Off Road, OMF Performance, Affordable Powder Coat, Robby Gordon Off Road, Trophy Engineering, Fullbore Innovations.
