Teh Πολικός Αστέρας RZR (προφέρεται "ξυράφι") είναι ένα άθλημα δίπλα-δίπλα που παράγεται από την Polaris Industries. Όταν κυκλοφόρησε το 2007 ως μοντέλο του 2008, ήταν επίσημα γνωστό ως Ranger RZR, καθώς κυκλοφόρησε στην αγορά ως υπομοντέλο του μεγαλύτερου, προσανατολισμένου στην εργασία Ranger. Καθώς το RZR κέρδισε δημοτικότητα, η Polaris τελικά εγκατέλειψε την ονομασία Ranger και τοποθέτησε το RZR ως αυτόνομο μοντέλο.
U.S. Special Operations Command, (US)SOCOM, placed an order with Polaris Defense in September 2013 for up to 1,500 MRZR-2 (2-seat) and MRZR-4 (4-seat) machines. A big drawback of these new small military vehicles, was that they retained their original petrol engines, which are incompatible with standard military JP-8 fuel. In terms of logistics, two different fuel types are clearly not ideal. As few such machines see combat use, and civilian users are uninterested in running them on diesel, an engine change was deemed unlikely.

General Characteristics and Role
The Polaris MRZR (pronounced M-R-Z-R) is a series of highly mobile, lightweight tactical all-terrain vehicles developed by Polaris Defense. Based on the commercial RZR side-by-side vehicle, the MRZR is militarized for use by various special operations forces and conventional military units worldwide, including the U.S. Army and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The MRZR is designed for maximum transportability; its small size and light weight allow it to be internally transported by helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook or V-22 Osprey. Its primary roles include rapid personnel transport, casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), logistics resupply, and mounting light weaponry. The MRZR comes in several variants, most commonly the two-seat (MRZR 2) and four-seat (MRZR 4).

Powerplant and Performance
- Engine Type: Available in Gasoline (Polaris ProStar) or Diesel/JP-8 fueled variants (MRZR D).
- Drivetrain: Automatic transmission with 4×4 (All-Wheel Drive) capability.
- Maximum Speed: Up to 97 km/h (60 mph).
- Range: Varies greatly depending on variant and mission, typically over 300 km (186 miles).
- Fuel Source: MRZR D uses JP-8, a common military jet fuel, for logistics commonality.
- Key Feature: The fold-down roll cage allows the vehicle to fit inside the cargo area of small, tactical aircraft and helicopters.
Armament and Configuration
- Armament: Does not have fixed armament, but features integrated mounting points for various crew-served weapons.
- Typical Weapons: Can mount 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm (.50 caliber) machine guns, or 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.
- Mission Kits: Highly modular, allowing rapid configuration for different missions: cargo bed extensions, litter mounts, specialized communications gear, and extra fuel cans.
- Survivability: Built for speed and stealth over armor; its key defense is its mobility and ability to travel where heavier vehicles cannot.
