Your RZR is a rough-and-tumble rig, but stock parts can only take you so far before you hit the limits of what it can do. Luckily, improving your RZR’s performance doesn’t have to be difficult or a complete money pit—all it takes is some smart decision-making and high-quality parts to level up your machine. Ready to push your ride to new heights of speed, power, handling, and overall performance? Then this guide is for you.
Unlocking the full potential of your Polaris RZR means getting the most out of your engine. While a full engine overhaul or custom build would be pricey, there are still simple and cost-effective upgrades that you can make. ECU tuners are one of the best options, with easy-to-use interfaces that can increase your top speed, boost horsepower, raise your rev limiters, and more. The actual tuning functionality of ECU tuners is also helpful, allowing you to gather diagnostics and make tweaks to hit the exact specifications you need.
A number of other improvements can boost engine performance, including clutch, intake, and exhaust upgrades. We’ll get to those soon.
Your side-by-side rolled off the line ready to take on any terrain, but getting peak performance over rough ground means upgrading your suspension and handling. Whether you want to start with durable, high-quality shocks for a smoother, more consistent ride, or completely revamp your suspension with a conversion kit, SuperATV has everything you need to make sure you have exceptional control and comfort on every ride:
By improving the precision of your UTV’s handling, and the stability and strength of its suspension, you can stay ahead of the pack and conquer every kind of terrain with confidence.
There’s no feeling quite like the burst of power and speed you get when you hit the accelerator of your RZR—but what if you could take that sensation to 11? Upgrading your clutch and drivetrain can increase your torque and improve your power transfer, giving you acceleration like you’ve never experienced before.
A clutch kit is one of the most impactful performance upgrades you can add to your Polaris RZR. Expect better throttle response, more torque and horsepower, higher speeds, and less slippage—and that’s just for all-around options. There are also clutch kits that are ideal for improving performance even more on specific terrains, including mud, rock, or sand.
If you’re looking to fully unleash your RZR’s engine, make sure you can use all that power with a heavy-duty, high-performance drive belt. A top-of-the-line drive belt gives better power transfer through your clutch, improved longevity (with less fraying), reduced slipping, and increased heat resistance so you can push your rig to the limit on every ride.
If you want to get the best out of your side-by-side, upgrading your intake and exhaust should be high on your to-do list. When you replace stock parts with high-flow air intakes and high-performance exhaust systems, you’ll notice the difference right away. By increasing the airflow, your engine can produce more power and improved throttle response, giving you the power you need, precisely when you need it.
There are also specialized exhaust and snorkel systems if you want to kit out your RZR to take on the deepest mud holes or keep riding when you hit deep water.
Want more than just a performance boost? You’re in luck. The right exhaust system can give your rig the deep-throated, clear roar your buddies will be jealous of every time you fly by.
No upgrade guide would be complete without a section on tires and wheels, and for good reason. The right set of tires can be the difference between barely keeping up, or even getting stuck, and leading the pack. If you like to take on all kinds of ground without swapping out your tires all the time, an all-terrain set will provide the improved traction, puncture resistance, and comfortable ride you’re looking for. For those who specialize in diving through mud holes, climbing rocks, or spraying sand, SuperATV also has purpose-built tires that will improve your performance over your favorite terrain.
Your rims don’t just need to look good, they need to hold up to every ride you take. Luckily, SuperATV has you covered, with top-quality wheels that will let your tires, and your RZR, perform at their best. For those who like to push to the limits and beyond, check out our beadlock wheel options that are designed to keep up with aggressive riding.
Start with specific, foundational aspects of your rig that you want to improve, and choose high-quality parts and accessories to upgrade them. Once you have made your baseline improvements, you can layer in more specific upgrades as needed. No matter what upgrade you are making, be sure that you are confident in your own ability to properly install them—if not, get help from a professional.
Make your next ride the best yet when you start upgrading your Polaris RZR with top-quality, reliable parts from SuperATV. You’ll find everything you need to optimize your rig’s performance and take your RZR to a completely new level.
