24 Hours of RZR at Windrock OHV Gallery

Images from our ill-fated attempt at 24 Hours of Windrock.

Updated: May 20, 2022

We knew trying to Everest Windrock Park with a 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R and a 2022 Polaris Turbo R would be hard, we just didn’t know how hard. Flat tires, an epic rainstorm, and one crashed machine put an end to our attempt at running these machines for 24 hours straight, but don’t worry. We’ll be back.

The 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R and Turbo R are all new, and some of the fastest production side-by-sides in existence.Zach Bowman

Our route was around 30 miles, and ran through some of the prettiest and most remote parts of the park.Camden Thrasher

It was surprising just how different the two machines felt. The Pro R’s big power is offset by the Turbo R’s wicked delivery.Camden Thrasher

The day started out perfect, with clear skies and dry trails.Camden Thrasher

Neither machine is slow.Camden Thrasher

Our route had a little bit of everything, including some technical climbs. Both machines never blinked.Camden Thrasher

There’s always water at Windrock, even after days of dry weather.Camden Thrasher

The 2022 Polaris RZR Turbo R slayed the soupy mud at the top of Windrock.Camden Thrasher

Of course, the 2022 RZR Pro R was no slouch, either.Camden Thrasher

The big, 32-inch Maxxis Rampage Fury tires were made for this kind of fun.Camden Thrasher

We love the Polaris Ride Command system. It made keeping multiple drivers on course easy.Camden Thrasher

New fun tricks include the Dynamix DV screen, which shows exactly what each shock is doing in real time.Camden Thrasher

The updated steering wheel on the RZR Pro R and Turbo R is great, and includes controls for both the audio and suspension systems.Camden Thrasher

Tragedy struck almost immediately in the form of a pinch flat, but a Sidewall Slug got us back in action.Camden Thrasher

Some tires are just determined to lay down and die.Camden Thrasher

Fortunately, we keep our feathers numbered for just such an occasion.Camden Thrasher

Pro tip: Wear gloves while using a GlueTread patch. Otherwise you’ll leave some skin behind.Camden Thrasher

Despite all odds, the multiple patches not only got us back to HQ, but also managed another half a lap before giving out.Camden Thrasher

Things were looking up.Camden Thrasher

Until they weren’t.Camden Thrasher

Rain, a broken machine, and a long ride back to the truck.Camden Thrasher
