      The Polaris RZR Pro R excels in so many areas that it nearly stands alone in a category between traditional side-by-sides and desert-racing trucks. However, Polaris has still managed to enhance it further—if you're willing to invest.

      The RZR Pro R Ultra Edition elevates the already-impressive suspension of the RZR Pro R with what Polaris describes as the Dynamix DVS system. According to Polaris, this is the first and only side-by-side suspension system featuring hydraulic locking sway bar links available from the factory. This feature, developed in partnership with Suspension Direct Inc. and refined through racing, enhances the Ultra Edition's versatility beyond that of the standard RZR Pro R.

      You may already know about disconnecting sway bars on larger vehicles like the Jeep Gladiator Mojave and Ram 2500 Power Wagon. This option allows for improved articulation when needed, without sacrificing ride quality or handling on less challenging terrain. However, those systems function as a simple on/off switch. In contrast, Dynamix DVS adjusts four links with three different settings: fully locked (for maximum stability), fully unlocked (for maximum articulation), and a semi-active option that adapts to changing terrain, adjusting the links up to 200 times per second.

      The Ultra Edition also features 32-inch BFGoodrich KM3 tires, a Velocity Blue exterior finish, and an MPI racing steering wheel. All other aspects remain consistent with the standard RZR Pro R, including the 2.0-liter ProStar Fury inline-four engine from the Polaris Slingshot, tuned to deliver 225 horsepower. Similar to other variants of the RZR Pro R, the Ultra Edition boasts a 104.5-inch wheelbase, a 74-inch track width, and 29 inches of usable suspension travel.

      All of this comes with a starting price of $46,999 for the two-seater and $50,999 for the four-seater. While it's not inexpensive, it's a more appealing offering than the 2023 Special Edition, which had a similar price but lacked the suspension upgrade found in the Ultra Edition. Moreover, this isn't meant to be produced in large quantities, with just 500 units planned for global distribution across both configurations. Polaris aims to start shipping the first vehicles to dealers in February.
