00:00It is a very, very rainy day at Windrock Park, and we are here with the 2024 Polaris Razor

00:07Pro R4 Ultimate.

00:09This is the absolute top of the heap for performance four-seat side-by-sides, and today we're going

00:14to give you everything you need to know about this machine.

00:16We're going to go over every inch to show you exactly what the numbers on the spec sheet

00:20mean in real life, and we're going to start with price.

00:22The model behind me, this is the Ultimate.

00:24It retails for $44,999.

00:27You might be able to find some discounts locally depending on what sort of rebates Polaris

00:30is working, so check with your local dealer.

00:32All right, let's talk dimensions.

00:33This is a big machine.

00:35She's a school bus.

00:36We're talking 165.5 inches long.

00:39That's within sniffing distance of a four-door Jeep Wrangler.

00:42Oh, a Jeep's ahead, buddy.

00:44I mean, she's a big girl.

00:46It's also 74 inches wide, so if you've got a narrow trailer, you might need to upgrade.

00:52It's also 76.5 inches tall, so it might not fit in some enclosed trailers.

00:58Polaris says this rig weighs 2,480 pounds dry, which is pretty heavy for a side-by-side.

01:02There's a 12.3-gallon fuel tank on board.

01:05We found that's good for about a full day's worth of riding in most conditions.

01:09It does require premium gasoline, a minimum of 91 octane.

01:13It needs that fuel because there is a beast of an engine in this machine.

01:16ProR uses a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine, good for 225 horsepower at 8,250 RPM.

01:25That's actually more power than the Polaris slingshot that this engine comes from.

01:29That engine's bolted to a traditional rubber belt CVT gearbox with park, reverse, neutral,

01:34low, and high.

01:35ProR benefits from a true selectable four-wheel drive system.

01:39This is not an all-wheel drive system, so you've got two-wheel drive with a permanently

01:43locked rear axle.

01:45You can select four-wheel drive with the front axle open, or you can select four-wheel drive

01:50with the front differential locked.

01:52The ProR gets all of its power to the ground via these 32-inch Maxxis Rampage Fury tires.

01:56They're wrapped around 15-inch aluminum wheels.

01:59It's worth noting that the ProR uses a beefy five-lug hub.

02:03That's a lot more stout than the old four-lug setup we used to see.

02:07Behind those wheels are some serious brakes, too.

02:09We're talking three-piston calipers up front, two-piston calipers in the rear.

02:12Pedal feels nice and firm and confident, even after coming down from big speed.

02:17Because this is the ProR 4 Ultimate, you get one of the best suspensions in the side-by-side

02:21business.

02:22These Fox 3.0 Live Valve shocks are electronically controlled by the Dynamix DV system.

02:28That means you get four ride modes, Comfort, Rock, Track, and Baja.

02:32I cannot believe how good the suspension is on this thing.

02:35Up front, you get these boxed dual A-arms and a three-piece sway bar, and that setup's

02:39good for 22 1⁄4 inches of wheel travel.

02:42Normally, on a lower-spec rig, these A-arms are either stamped out of steel, super flimsy,

02:47or just regular tube.

02:48This box-section stuff is way stronger.

02:51Now, back, you get this big, beefy, boxed trailing arm with a tow link and high-clearance

02:55radius arms.

02:56All that's good for 24.5 inches of wheel travel, and combined, you get about 16 inches of ground

03:01clearance, which is pretty good.

03:03Again, Ultimate trim gives you these really slick LED headlights and taillights, which

03:07means you can see and be seen on the trail.

03:10Super important.

03:11You also get these accent lights for daytime running lights.

03:14Before we jump inside, let's take a look at the cargo area.

03:17This is a pretty good-sized box, 29.5 inches long.

03:2023.8 inches wide and 8.1 inches deep.

03:23You can fit a full-size cooler back there, no problem.

03:26This is a four-door model.

03:27All four doors are reversed-hinged with just an interior release.

03:32There is no exterior door handle.

03:35Just got this guy inside.

03:36There's also no weather-stripping around the doors, so if you are over the sills in water,

03:41that stuff's coming inside.

03:43Pro-4 Ultimate also gets this very sturdy aluminum roof, which is great.

03:47Keeps the sun, or lack thereof, off of the four color-matched seats inside.

03:51Inside driver and front passenger get four-way adjustable seats with retractable harnesses.

03:56Rear passengers get fixed buckets with non-retractable harnesses.

04:00These seats are stadium style, which means they sit a little bit higher than the front

04:04seats, which gives the rear passengers a clear view of the trail ahead.

04:07Really cuts down on motion sickness, and it's just a better time for the folks sitting in

04:11the back.

04:12There's also a lot of room back here.

04:14You can fit a full-size adult.

04:15There's plenty of room in the toe box for your shoes.

04:18Your knees aren't banging up against the front seats.

04:20It's great.

04:21Back up front, the passenger gets an adjustable grab bar, while the driver can clamp both

04:25hands on a tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

04:27One of the nice things about this trim, the steering wheel has controls for both the Dynamix

04:31DV system and the infotainment system.

04:33Handsome analog gauges convey vehicle speed and engine RPM, while toggles to the left

04:38of the steering wheel take care of lighting controls and four-wheel drive system controls.

04:43As with other Polaris vehicles, the Pro R4 Ultimate uses the excellent Ride Command system.

04:48It controls the Rockford Fosgate stereo with AM, FM, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity.

04:54That means you get music streaming and hands-free calling.

04:56The stereo has two tweeters, four speakers, and a 400-watt amp.

05:01And that seven-inch Ride Command screen handles navigation with more than one million miles

05:06of mapped trails.

05:07You can also use it with your gloves, which is super handy because, hey, we're always

05:11wearing gloves out here.

05:12You can also link Ride Command systems with other Polaris vehicles, so you can stay in

05:16touch with the other riding buddies.

05:17You can share routes.

05:18You can also communicate, even when you're far from cell service.

05:21There's also a pretty decent amount of interior storage here.

05:24You get two cup holders up front, two cup holders in the rear.

05:27You get a glove box and a center console.

05:30That one's nice and sealed for your cell phone.

05:32That's also where the USB connection is for the Ride Command.

05:35That's everything you need to know about the 2024 Polaris RZR Pro R4 Ultimate.
