With a blend of cutting-edge technology, race-inspired engineering, and exceptional comfort, the Pro S Ultimate stands as a flagship model in the RZR lineup.
Whether you're a seasoned trailblazer, a weekend warrior, or new to the side-by-side (SxS) scene, this blog will break down everything you need to know about the 2025 Polaris RZR Pro S Ultimate — from its engine and suspension to its tech, comfort, and competitive edge.
Overview: What Is the Polaris RZR Pro S Ultimate?
The 2025 Polaris RZR Pro S Ultimate is part of Polaris’ RZR Pro family — a lineup designed for aggressive trail riding, dune running, and open desert performance. The “S” in Pro S stands for Sport, and this model is built on a 72-inch-wide platform, offering increased stability, control, and confidence at high speeds and over technical terrain.
The Ultimate trim represents the highest level of factory-equipped features, including advanced technology, upgraded suspension, and premium comfort systems. It’s more than just a UTV — it’s a purpose-built off-road machine designed to dominate the most demanding environments.
Engine and Performance: Power Meets Precision
At the heart of the 2025 RZR Pro S Ultimate is Polaris’ ProStar 2.0L engine, producing a staggering 225 horsepower. This inline 4-cylinder, 4-stroke DOHC engine delivers instant throttle response and a broad powerband that’s ideal for both acceleration and sustained high-speed runs.
Key Performance Features:
- ProStar Fury 2.0L Engine
o 225 HP
o Liquid-cooled with electronic fuel injection
- On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
o Seamlessly switches between 2WD and AWD
- High-capacity Clutch and Cooling System
o Designed for aggressive, sustained riding
- Selectable Drive Modes
o Adjust throttle mapping and power delivery for different terrains
Whether you’re blazing through sand dunes or carving technical trails, the Pro S Ultimate offers the power and control needed to stay ahead of the pack.
Suspension and Chassis: Built to Soak Up Anything
What sets the RZR Pro S Ultimate apart from many competitors is its race-inspired suspension system, designed to absorb harsh terrain and keep the ride planted and predictable.
Suspension Specs:
- FOX 3.0 Live Valve X2 Internal Bypass Shocks
- 29 inches of usable travel (front and rear)
- Dual A-arm with stabilizer bar (front)
- Trailing arm with stabilizer bar (rear)
This is not just about comfort — it’s about control. The Live Valve X2 technology actively adjusts damping in real-time, based on terrain and driver input, allowing you to push harder with more confidence.
The 72-inch stance provides unmatched stability at speed and during cornering, particularly when paired with the Maxxis Rampage Fury tires and 15-inch aluminum wheels.
Technology: RIDE COMMAND and Smart Control Systems
The 2025 RZR Pro S Ultimate doesn’t just excel mechanically — it’s also a tech-forward machine.
RIDE COMMAND+ Integrated Display
- 7” Touchscreen Display
- GPS Navigation with Group Ride Feature
- Vehicle Diagnostics and Custom Ride Modes
- Bluetooth and Smartphone Integration
RIDE COMMAND+ makes trail riding smarter, safer, and more connected. Group Ride allows you to see other riders on your screen in real-time (when equipped), while the GPS system can track your ride, mark waypoints, and help navigate unfamiliar territory.
DYNAMIX DV Suspension
- Real-time active damping adjustments
- Modes include Comfort, Sport, and Firm
- Sensors monitor throttle, steering, and brake input to adjust shock performance dynamically
This intelligent system is what takes the Pro S Ultimate from great to exceptional. You can feel the suspension adapting under you as terrain changes — offering plush compliance over rocks and aggressive stiffness in corners.
Interior and Comfort: Built for the Long Haul
Polaris hasn’t overlooked comfort in its quest for performance. The RZR Pro S Ultimate offers a driver-centric cockpit that’s both rugged and refined.
Cabin Highlights:
- Bolstered bucket seats with 4-way adjustability
- Tilt and telescoping steering wheel
- Premium switchgear and sealed interior
- Full doors with interior liners
- Factory-installed roof and windshield options available
The layout is intuitive, with controls within easy reach and clear visibility out the front and sides. There’s ample legroom, secure storage, and even cup holders — because hydration is key, even when you’re ripping across the desert at 70 mph.
Noise and vibration are also well-managed, thanks to isolation mounts and improved cabin sealing. It’s still a UTV, but one of the quieter and more composed ones at this performance level.
Design and Styling: Aggression Meets Execution
The 2025 RZR Pro S Ultimate looks as fast as it drives. The sharp, angular design with low-profile LED lighting and aggressive fenders gives it a commanding presence on the trail.
Design Touches:
- Bold front grille with integrated LED accent lights
- Streamlined roofline for aerodynamics
- Durable composite panels
- 15” aluminum wheels with beadlock-style appearance
- Color options vary by release, typically including premium finishes like Titanium Metallic or Radar Blue
Everything on the exterior is functional — from the snorkeled air intake to the high-clearance arms. But Polaris manages to make functionality look downright mean.
Safety and Durability
At these power levels, safety matters. Polaris has equipped the Pro S Ultimate with features that protect both machine and rider.
Safety Features:
- Factory 4-point harnesses (with seat belt interlocks)
- ROPS-certified roll cage
- High-strength chassis with reinforced A-arms
- High-mount air intakes and sealed electrical components for water resistance
With aggressive driving in mind, Polaris has built the Pro S Ultimate to endure serious abuse. From the desert heat to rocky climbs, it’s a machine that’s ready to take a beating and keep going.
