After nearly 600 miles behind the wheel of my 2019 Polaris RS1, here are the top 8 reasons I love this single seat UTV. My review includes several not-so-obvious aspects of the industry's only mass produced single seat performance UTV.
To add to your likes, I have a 2018 RS1 and found a location to store a spare belt. I don't know what it was for but it works great. behind the drivers seat up on the inside the roof there are 2 tab in front of the air intake ducting. Also there are specific tie down points built into the RS1. The information is in the owners manual. I don't use them anymore as I've gone to straps that hold the tires down to my trailer.
Yeah the RS1 is pretty neat, you got a great deal on yours with all those accessories you got with it. $14,999 plus all the dealer fees and tax and registration jacks it up to around $19,000 out the door here in Southern Cal.
Thanks for the comment. I have roof mounts in the front that go to the main roll cage hoops. There are not any "unused" holes in the roof so unless it would be necessary to drill holes into the roof for additional mounts that the prior owner didn't use, I think it has the mounts that it is intended to have.
Wish I could try one. I’m currently having arm issues that are making it painful to ride my outlander with the guys. We ride pretty hard. I prefer riding quads as apposed to side by sides. From what I hear this machine would be a good compromise.
I don't have a video comparing the RS1 and ACE but, other than both being single seat UTVs, they don't have much in common. They are both very fun in their own right but with more than double the suspension and 2.5x the HP, the RS1 is much faster and more plush. My wife loves her ACE and says the RS1 is simply too big / too much for her. I feel cramped in her ACE but it is fun to drive. ACE is based on a Sportman ATV chassis and the RS1 is based on a RZR so they have very different DNA. For riding under 30mph and tighter woods trails, the ACE outdoes the RS1 in terms of agility. If I was hunting or putting around in my own woods, I'd take the ACE. For trail riding I much prefer the RS1.
Do u think fender flares would be a good buy or put the money somewhere else to protect from mud and scratches from rocks? Just bought this machine and I ride Wisconsin trails too.
