Elevating these dominant vehicles with unparalleled performance even further, this RZR Pro lineup showcases revitalized RZR styling and bold, refined fit and finish to deliver an exceptional rider experience.

The 2025 RZR Pro R, Pro S, and Pro XP feature an all-new patent pending fresh cabin air intakes that force fresh air into the cab as you drive.

Working with the radiator deflectors, the dual hood scoops more effectively manage airflow, reducing overall cabin temperature for improved rider comfort.

The new lighting’s sharp design and dynamic up-and-down animation exudes the fierce attitude that RZR has long been known for.

In response to consumer feedback, the RZR Pro lineup now features a refined interior, meticulously designed to enhance comfort and convenience for the rider. This includes an upgraded dash with optimized touch points that bring the vehicle controls to the rider’s fingertips. Riders can easily map routes on RIDE COMMAND and switch tunes without taking their focus off the terrain. Additionally, convenient and accessible storage options allow riders to stow valuables easily and securely.

Meanwhile, new solid doors, with a double latch and door seal, shrug off more dust, water and other elements when out on the trail or in the dunes. The entire lineup also received upgraded seating with enhanced contouring for comfort. Additionally, the RZR Pro R received a new dual retractor harness that mounts above and behind the seat for easier retracting and enables riders to quickly fine-tune the fit before taming the trail. Finally, the top-tier Ultimate trims also receive new Rockford Fosgate Stage 4 Audio with 10″ subwoofer and new front and rear speakers, delivering powerful, clear sound that enhances riders’ off-road experience with immersive audio.

KEMIMOTO Midnight 80 32-inch 6-Speaker RGB Sound Bar

0

We love listening to our tunes when we’re out on the trail and soundbars and stereos are one the top selling products for anyone who owns a side-x-side.

KEMIMOTO’s line of sound bars caught our attention as a great alternative to many of the more expensive stereo systems on the market today. The Midnight line of soundbars are offered in three sizes: The Midnight 40 is 18-inches the 60 is 26-inches and the Midnight 80 is 32-inches long and incorporates 6 speakers.

Featuring 500 watts of peak power and two tweeters, two midrange speakers and two woofers, plus a total harmonic distortion rate of less than 1% providing higher fidelity sound quality out on the trails, there’s a lot to like about the Midnight 80.

KEMIMOTO designs their soundbars for outdoor, off-road rugged use. They come with aluminum mounting clamps to attach to your side by side or golf cart roll bar and are IP66 rated. All aluminum housed soundbars with waterproof controls, speakers and connections so you know you are safe to take the Midnight soundbar anywhere your adventures take you.

You can connect to your midnight 80 via Bluetooth, auxiliary input or USB input. The Bluetooth will work up to 33 feet away and you can control the stereo remotely up to 66 feet away. But there’s always the push button controls on the front of the sound bar if you prefer to use it that way too.

All KEMIMOTO sound bars come to life when the sun goes down. There are over 200 lighting modes, controlled with the included remote or through a phone app, which you can play around with and change light color and illumination modes. Everything from strobe to fade and jump this soundbar even syncs with your music for a perfectly choreographed light show.

Should you need more visibility in cab while trying to read maps or locate gear at night, no problem the Dome light setting will turn on all white light on the sound bar so you and your riders can see inside the side by side better.
