Polaris introduced this nameplate for the 2014 model year as the next step in its RZR sport side-by-side lineup, positioning it as the high-performance, multi-terrain machine that helped define the modern four-wheel sport UTV segment. From the start, it was marketed as a distinct model line rather than a special trim, and Polaris quickly built a family around it that included two-seat and four-seat variants. The 2014 launch marked an important moment for Polaris off-road enthusiasts because it established a new benchmark for the brand’s performance-focused side-by-sides and became the reference point for later RZR development.
Over time, the nameplate remained a core part of the RZR range and evolved through successive updates rather than disappearing and returning. Polaris has continued to list it in current model-lineup materials, which indicates an ongoing production run rather than a discontinued nameplate. The model’s history is especially significant because it bridged the earlier RZR performance era and the newer generations that followed, helping Polaris maintain a clear hierarchy between trail-oriented machines and its more extreme performance offerings.
In enthusiast circles, the nameplate is widely recognized as one of the foundational vehicles in Polaris’s modern sport side-by-side story. It is associated with the brand’s shift toward more aggressive performance, sharper handling, and stronger factory support for accessories, special editions, and rider-focused updates. That long, continuous presence has made it one of the most familiar and influential names in the Polaris off-road lineup.
