Dakar Rally – Polaris RZR Pro R

The 2026 Dakar Rally has entered its second week in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, serving as the ultimate proving ground for the LOEB FrayMédia Motorsport – RZR Factory Racing team.

Piloting RZR Pro R machines, the Polaris crews have asserted their dominance in the SSV category, combining speed with the durability required to conquer the Empty Quarter.

As of the 13th of January, current general classification leader and defending SSV champion Brock Heger has claimed three stage wins (Stages 3, 4, and 8) as well as the Prologue, while Xavier de Soultrait has secured two victories (Stages 1 and 6), and Gonçalo Guerreiro added a win on Stage 2 before his withdrawal on Stage 8 yesterday.

The RZR factory squad is supported by a robust lineup of partner teams, including Santag Racing, Old Friends Rally Team, and TH-Trucks Team, demonstrating the depth and reliability of the RZR platform across the field.

As the rally pushes toward the finish in Yanbu, Polaris crews continue to occupy prime positions on the leaderboard.
