Polaris RZR 4 Review

Stadium style seating sets the rear passenger seat higher.
Rear axle set behind the rear seating for a much better ride

Same RZR bed in the back. Engine placement should mean that
aftermarket pipes for the RZR S will fit the RZR 4.

The RZR 4 is several inches taller than a RZR S. Our measures 75″ with new springs that have not settled in yet. The trailer pictured has a 82″ high opening

Backseat Legroom: 6′ 1″ passenger on the left and 4′ 8″ passenger on the right.

Getting in the back of the RZR 4 is a bit harder than the front. Pure Polaris has a Rear Step Bar (seen on the right) for the RZR 4 thathelps passengers quickly get in and out. I would recommend it.

The RZR 4 does well over small jumps. Shocks seem to have plenty of capacity and handle g-out conditions well.

The RZR 4 is perfectly suited for families that want a sport UTV. With a top speed of 61 mph and the suspension to soak up the rough terrain, Polaris has hit another home run.

The RZR 4 is LONG, which translates to a much larger turning radius.
