Polaris introduced this nameplate for the 2018 model year as a very different kind of RZR: a single-seat, center-cockpit side-by-side built around the idea of maximizing solo driving room and visibility on tight trails and open terrain. It arrived as a headline addition to the RZR family and was notable as Polaris’ first factory single-seat RZR, which set it apart from the brand’s more familiar two-seat and four-seat performance models. The concept emphasized a compact footprint and an enthusiast-oriented driving experience rather than passenger capacity, making it one of the more distinctive entries in Polaris’ sport side-by-side lineup.
The model was carried forward through later model years and remained listed in Polaris’ official lineup pages for 2022 and 2024, showing that it had a meaningful run beyond its launch year. By the 2025 RZR lineup, however, Polaris’ official materials focused on the refreshed Trail, XP, Pro XP, Pro S and Pro R families, and this single-seat nameplate was no longer part of the core lineup. That makes 2024 the most defensible final model year for the nameplate based on Polaris’ published model pages.
Within the broader history of the RZR line, this model is significant less for spawning a long-lived subfamily than for demonstrating how far Polaris was willing to push the sport-SxS format. It represented a niche, enthusiast-focused interpretation of the RZR formula and stood out as an unusual factory-built one-seater in a segment usually defined by two- and four-passenger machines.
