Video of the New Polaris Ranger RZR Razor 800
I made an earlier post with some photos of the new
Polaris RZR Razor 800 a couple of weeks ago. People are definitely interested in this hot new side by side. I haven’t had a chance to ride one yet, but talking to people who have, they are pretty excited about it. Definitely more sporty than anything else, but is limited on the utility side. It will be interesting to see how the hunting crowd responds to this machine.
It looks like I may get a chance to ride it next month. So in the meantime, I have found some video to get you by until I can get my own to post on here. This video was taken in mid January in Arizona at the Polaris debut of the RZR 800.
Here is a quote from someone who was down there and personally had a chance to ride one in the harsh southwest desert:
“Hey, that thing is a blast. Its 100lbs. lighter than a Rhino and has 30% more horsepower. It’s 4.5” narrower than a Rhino with a very low center of gravity. I tried real hard to break it but could not. The after market guys will have a ball with this thing, however, I wonder about its hunting application. In order to get this thing classified as an ATV, they had to limit the cargo space. As a result, the bed is very small. There will be an after market rail extension that will increase the size of the cargo area, but I just don’t know if it will be enough for the hunter.
The RZR has sand dunes written all over it. I would love to slap a set of paddles on it and scream up Big Sand Mountain. I’m sure Polaris will sell a boatload of them. It will retail at $9999.”
