WHAT ARE THE BEST MODS FOR RZR PRO AND TURBO?
The Polaris RZR is a high-performance SXS or side-by-side vehicle designed to provide an exhilarating off-road experience. Since the release of the RZR Turbo R and Pro R, Polaris has continued to push the boundaries of off-road performance.
These two models are the newest and hottest in the RZR lineup, and they both have plenty of customization and modification potential.
PRP’s Top 11 Polaris RZR Pro R and Turbo R mods can help you improve your vehicle’s appearance, comfort and performance making it even more capable off-road.
RZR PRO R TURBO KIT
The Polaris RZR Pro R features a highly competent 2.0L engine that delivers impressive power even in its factory stock form. However, for those of us seeking even greater performance, there are options available.
Weistec Stage 1 Turbo Kit
This RZR Turbo Kit offers an OEM-like fit and quality, along with easy customization, making it an ideal turn-key solution for turbocharging enthusiasts. The Weistec Stage 1 Turbo Kit for the Polaris RZR Pro R includes a cast stainless steel manifold with a V-band connection to a GT2860RS turbo delivering up to 350hp. A GTX2860RS Gen2 turbo, rated at 450hp, is also available. Both turbo options feature an internal wastegate with a V-band outlet for the 304SS downpipe, which includes a flex section and flange for compatibility with most muffler systems. That’s some serious power!
TOP SUSPENSION MODS
The RZR Pro R and Turbo R come with impressive suspension systems from the factory, but upgrading to a performance suspension kit can help take your vehicle’s off-road capabilities to the next level. A good suspension kit will supply more ground clearance, better handling, and a smoother ride. Some of the most popular suspension kits for the RZR Pro R and Turbo R include the Shock Therapy Stage and King Off-Road.
Shock Therapy
Shock Therapy components on an RZR Pro R and Turbo R can significantly enhance the vehicle’s overall performance, delivering smoother rides, improved handling, and better control over bumps and rough terrain, thanks to their advanced engineering and high-quality materials.
Shock Therapy’s RZR Pro R Ride-Improvement System (RIS)
Available in both stage 1 and stage 2 configurations. Shock Therapy’s internal valving is custom-tailored for you, depending on riding style and terrain.
Shock Therapy Dual Rate Spring Kit
This kit includes custom-tuned springs that improve the ride quality and handling over a wide range of terrain. The kit consists of front and rear springs and a set of crossover rings.
Shock Therapy Ultimate Tie Rod Kit
Not only are their tie rods stronger than the factory, but they also come with patented BSD (bump steer delete) Pin Kit, which eliminates the factory ball joint and tapered pin. Designed to correct steering geometry, this kit effectively eliminates bump steer while increasing strength.
Shock Therapy Limit Strap Kit
As most people know, at full extension the shocks can make a loud clunk that feels like a hammer against the chassis. If you run aftermarket, heavier wheels, and tires this clunk gets much worse. Although the shocks have extension stops internally, they are tuned to the factory wheel and tire weight and can’t manage any changes in the system so a front-end clunk has become the new NORMAL in UTV’s. Well, not anymore. Their new limit strap kit stops the front-end clunk instantly.
KING
King Off-Road Racing Shocks
The King Offroad Suspension performance upgrade is an excellent choice for enhancing the ride and handling of your RZR on rough terrain ride height. A 3.0″ diameter shock body increases fluid capacity for smoother, cooler running shocks.
OFF-ROAD TIRE UPGRADES
Tires are one of the most critical components of any off-road vehicle, and the RZR Pro R and Turbo R are no exception. Upgrading to a set of high-performance tires can create better traction, handling, and overall performance on all types of terrain. Some popular tire options include Maxxis and EFX Tires
Maxxis Bighorn 2.0
This tire for the PRO R and Turbo R offers excellent traction and durability on a wide range of surfaces. With an aggressive tread pattern and large, widely spaced lugs, the Bighorn 2.0 provides an excellent grip in loose terrain.

UPGRADE YOUR WHEELS

The Method 401-R is a more aggressive version of the classic 401 wheel. It features a beadlock design that helps keep the tire in place during off-road use. This wheel is popular among RZR owners who want maximum traction and control.
Metal FX Wheels
If you’re interested in Metal FX Wheels, the MFX3 is a popular choice among RZR Pro R/Turbo R owners due to its sleek, aggressive design and durable construction. It features a cast aluminum construction and is available in various finishes, including black, machined, and chrome.
LIGHT MODS

ADDING SUSPENSION SEATS FOR RZR UTVs

The low sides on the XCR make it much easier to enter and exit the vehicle and tighten lap belts. The removable seat cushion adds comfort on long rides and makes it easy to wash mud, sand, and water through the mesh drain, and adds a fifth point for harnesses. The XCR is perfect for trail riding or getting in and out on rides.
