VIDEO | POLARIS RZR TRAIL S 1000 LONG TERM UPDATE | Shed Time | Tested

Check out our long term video review on the Polaris RZR Trail S 1000 after steering it almost every day for six months.

After nearly six months living with the Polaris RZR Trail S 1000 here’s what we’ve been up to. So far so good mechanically, nothing has failed us and all moving parts are still in one piece.

We’ve used it for everything from trail riding to mustering and checking boundary fences on our property and it has been excellent. We’ve loved the Trailmaster tyres as we find they get more traction than the Polaris branded rubber and the extra wide stance of the Trail S 1000 model compared with the 900 is so much more stable.

But, it is still narrow enough to slip in and out of gullies and between spikes blackberry bushes because the Trail range are still narrower than the regular RZRs.

We’ve also really loved the low range. We haven’t needed decent control because on a 45 degree hill it will crawl in the wet at about 3km/h. We’ve dropped into some nasty gullies too and hardly need the brake. The low range has also come in handy when crawling over rocks and logs we can’t see very well in the tall grass.

We’ve also really loved the wiper with water gun on the blade as it has a better coverage of the windscreen.

We have been amazed how little the entire vehicle has worn. When we clean it, it still looks new. All the plastics come up really good and the tyres are still almost new (you can thank the rain and soft conditions for that).
