Axiom Side x Side Embraces the Racing Revolution with Polaris
As highlighted in Road & Track’s article “Polaris Side-by-Sides Are Going Factory Racing,” the off-road community’s attention is shifting towards UTVs as they gain prominence in desert racing and pave the way for potential involvement in stage rallying. The anticipation of a more accessible entry into stage rallying through UTVs is creating excitement.
Polaris has taken a significant step forward by introducing a factory racing program, a departure from the traditional approach of offering factory support to private teams. This initiative coincides with the launch of a purpose-built RZR racing UTV. The company has enlisted promising talents such as Austin Weiland, Brock Heger, and Cayden MacCachren to pilot these factory-backed UTVs.
Enthusiasts can expect to witness the factory RZR in action during SCORE International events like the San Felipe 250 and the iconic Baja races including the 400, 500, and 1000. Although the UTV itself remains under wraps until its unveiling on March 15th, the introduction of a dedicated racing UTV model is seen as a positive sign for the industry.
Historically, technology proven on the racing circuit often finds its way into production models. This trend is expected to hold true for high-performance UTVs, where the synergy between factory racing and showroom models is poised to make a meaningful impact.
