V Polaris RZR (izgovor "britvica") je šport ob bok, ki ga proizvaja Polaris Industries. Ko je bil leta 2007 lansiran kot model iz leta 2008, je bil uradno znan kot Ranger RZR, saj je bil trženi kot podmodel večjega, delovno usmerjenega Rangerja. Ker je RZR pridobil popularnost, je Polaris sčasoma padel ranger označbe in pozicioniranje RZR kot samostojni model.
1.500 strojev MRZR-2 (2-sedež) in MRZR-4 (4-sedežni) stroji so septembra 2013 naročili poveljstvo ZDA za specialne operacije, (US)SOCOM. Velika slabost teh novih majhnih vojaških vozil je bila, da so obujale svoje originalne bencinske motorje, ki niso združljivi s standardnim vojaškim gorivom JP-8. Kar zadeva logistiko, dva različna tipa goriva očitno ni idealna. Ker le redki takšni stroji vidijo bojno uporabo, civilni uporabniki pa niso zainteresirali za uporabo na dizelskem gorivu, se je zdelo, da je sprememba motorja malo verjetna.

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.
