Video: Defending Dakar Episode 2

The Machine has arrived.

In this, the second installment of Polaris’ Tough Doesn’t Quit: Defending Dakar series, “The Machine”, we remember that the equipment plays a major role in the successes or failure of Dakar.

In this episode, we dive into the development and testing of the championship-proven RZR Pro R Factory machine as Brock Heger, Eddy Jr., and the Sebastien Loeb Racing team gear up for the grueling 12 stages and 14 days of the Dakar Rally.

With nearly 5,000 miles to conquer, finding the perfect balance of performance and durability is critical. Reliability is everything in an event like this—drivers need to push hard when it counts, go flat out when necessary, and trust their machine every step of the way.
