Celebrating the 10th year of selling Polaris in Mexico, Polaris invited local press to Camp RZR Glamis 2025 to highlight the 2026 RZR Pro S4 Calavera Edition over Halloween, or as it’s known in Mexico, “Dia De Los Muertes.” Polaris will produce 200 Calavera Edition S4s, with 150 going to Mexico and 50 selling here in the USA. Calaveras are Pro S4 Ultimates with special Dia de los Muertes graphics and skull-motif inlayed into the hood. Expert Polaris pilots took us from the Camp RZR compound to Oldsmobile Hill through small dunes and into huge bowls, and then we did some speed runs up Oldsmobile and back down, blitzing whoops at the base.
There were also two Pro S4s on the initial and second rides, and attendees switched mounts during the day in the dunes. Having identical suspension, chassis, driveline, and steering, the Calavera and Pro R4 handle identically, but the power delivery and driving style are very different. The Pro S4 turbo-charged engine wants to be revved out like a 250F motocross bike, while the two-liter, normally-aspirated R4 is happiest unleashing massive midrange torque like Jett Lawrence’s CRF450WE.
Coincidentally, Dirt Wheels and UTV Action were at Glamis when the first production turbo-charged UTV was introduced in 2015, and it’s amazing how far performance has evolved in a decade. We were also at the first Camp RZR, when Polaris put us up in Love-2-Camp rental trailers, and Polaris’ festival of everything off-road has also evolved as well.
In the Camp RZR 2025 release, Polaris said, “Thousands of riders come together to carve dunes, chase, thrills, and celebrate the off-road lifestyle. Camp RZR is Polaris’ way of showcasing its leadership in the off-road world and the RZR lifestyle with high-octane fun, shared experiences, and deep-rooted pride in off-road culture.”
Camp RZR is free to everyone, regardless of what brand they arrive in or on, and there are free demo rides in the dunes. The day before the two-day dune festival, Polaris owners lined up behind the Glamis Store to take advantage of free on-site service with certified mechanics for simple service up to severe crash-damage repair. Inside the compound, once registered, attendees see the 2026 Polaris off-road line and MRZR, along with vendors’ tricked-out show builds and booths. Nonstop prize giveaways included Dune Dollars Cash Grab and spins on the Prize Wheel, which included Losi’s Polaris-licensed RZR Rey Pro R 1/10th-scale RC. The familiar ferris wheel was back along with the Outlaw Kids Zone, kid demos, RZR Stage, Recharge Zone, Ride Command display, and Clean Dune Project booth. There was even a free hot-air balloon ride and the RZR ice-cream truck, and FMX star Vicki Golden and friends put on several stunt shows
Polaris hosted a Camp RZR Witching Hour with trick-or-treating and a costume contest Halloween evening, and the Tough Enough Obstacle Course (think American Ninja) debuted to test the strength of adults and kids older than five. Ram Trucks was also on hand with professional drivers giving ride-alongs in the Ram RHO Thrill Ride.
But attendees brought plenty of money for the Polaris Merch Store, food and drink trucks, and many vendor specials. In another compound, Polaris introduced the Calavera Edition in their tiki-themed oasis complete with RC tracks and food truck. And the entire vendor row was rocking out, turning that corner of Glamis’ Imperial Sand Dunes into a city-sized off-road mecca. Yet again, dune season kicked off with a fun-filled Halloween weekend high-lighted by Camp RZR.
