We’ve got our hands on a 2024 Polaris RZR XP and decided to see if it was a viable option for dune riding. A great place to test whether a naturally aspirated UTV can hang is Sand Mountain, NV. Sand Mountain Recreation Area is about 25 miles east of Fallon NV. While the riding area is under 5000 acres, it has a prominent 600 foot tall mountain of sand that you can’t hide from. With the long, steep climbs and 4000+ foot elevation, turbo vehicles are the ticket. Since the RZR XP is naturally aspirated, and primarily targeted at trail riding, I was very interested to see if the new Gen 2 Prostar engine and upgraded CVT could hang.
