Camp RZR 2026: Polaris RZR Factory Boost, Glamis Highlights and Dirtbag Brands
Camp RZR 2026 brought Polaris RZR owners, vendors, dealers, and manufacturers back to Glamis.
Dirtbag Brands spent the weekend doing more than watching from Vendor Row.
We installed mirrors, helped customers, worked with dealers, rode the dunes, and captured the weekend firsthand.
We also watched Polaris introduce something completely different.
The new RZR Pro R Factory Boost pushed the RZR platform deep into purpose-built desert racing territory.
Meanwhile, Camp Can-Am brought Maverick R test drives to the same Glamis weekend.
Between those two camps, the dunes offered a snapshot of where modern sport UTVs are heading.
Our weekend also included Gilmore Offroad, RideNow Goodyear, Daddy’s Famous Foods, Torc1 Racing, and Glamis friends.
We stayed with friends from Glamis Veterans and GlamisDunes.com throughout the weekend.
Consequently, Camp RZR became much more than another trade event for us.
It became another piece of Dirtbag Brands’ growing Glamis story.
Camp RZR 2026 Put Glamis at the Center of the UTV World
There is a major difference between seeing UTVs at a show and seeing them in Glamis.
Everything becomes real once tires hit the sand.
Suspension gets used.
Accessories get tested.
Customers ask different questions.
Meanwhile, vendors see how riders actually use their machines.
Camp RZR puts all of those pieces together.
Polaris RZR models filled the dunes throughout the weekend.
RZR XP and RZR Pro R machines were especially common around the event.
However, Vendor Row only told part of the story.
We spent time installing products, talking with customers, riding, and capturing the dunes from several perspectives.
Our cameras included a drone, GoPro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
That gave us everything from wide dune footage to close-up installation photos.
Polaris RZR Pro R Factory Boost Became the Camp RZR 2026 Headliner
Polaris used Camp RZR 2026 to unveil the RZR Pro R Factory Boost.
This machine sits well beyond a normal recreational side-by-side.
Polaris built the Factory Boost for serious desert racing.
The machine produces up to 400 horsepower from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
Pricing starts at $200,000.
Additionally, Polaris extended and reinforced the chassis for open-desert competition.
The Factory Boost uses a 111-inch wheelbase and a 45-gallon fuel cell.
Carbon-fiber bodywork helps reduce weight while supporting the race-focused design.
The cockpit also grows wider than the recreational Pro R platform.
Polaris plans to offer the machine to customer race teams.
The factory racing program will continue using the platform as well.
You can take a deeper look at our 2027 Polaris RZR Pro R Boost here.
The Factory Boost Is More Race Car Than Recreational RZR
The name can make the Factory Boost sound like another RZR trim level.
It is not.
The production 2027 RZR Pro R Boost already makes 275 horsepower.
That alone represents a serious jump in recreational UTV performance.
However, the Factory Boost takes the same basic performance idea into another category.
Its chassis, fuel capacity, bodywork, cockpit, and race preparation target desert competition.
Factory Boost is described as a turnkey desert racer rather than another recreational side-by-side.
That distinction matters.
Someone shopping for a recreational Pro R Boost has very different priorities from a desert race team.
Still, the Factory Boost shows how far Polaris believes the RZR platform can go.
Dirtbag Brands Installed Mirrors Throughout Camp RZR
Camp RZR also gave us another opportunity to work directly with RZR owners.
We installed Dirtbag mirrors on Gilmore Offroad rental RZRs during the weekend.
Those machines included Polaris RZR XP and RZR Pro R platforms.
Rental machines offer an interesting real-world environment.
Different drivers use them.
They see repeated dune miles.
They also need accessories that remain simple and dependable.
We also completed customer installations during the event.
Therefore, we were able to see our products on several current sport UTV platforms.

Gilmore Offroad Gave Us Real-World RZR Fitment
Gilmore Offroad has become part of our growing Glamis network.
During Camp RZR, we installed mirrors across several machines in their rental fleet.
That included RZR XP and RZR Pro R models.
The installations gave us another chance to evaluate fitment outside a controlled shop environment.
Instead, the machines were sitting exactly where customers use them.
That matters to us.
Fitment information becomes much more useful when it comes from actual machines.
Additionally, working with rental units exposes products to several types of drivers.
Camp RZR provided plenty of that opportunity.
Torc1 Racing Landed at Gilmore Offroad
The weekend also expanded beyond Dirtbag Brands.
Gilmore Offroad began stocking Torc1 Racing products.
That puts Torc1 directly inside another active powersports business in the Glamis community.
Torc1 Racing joined Dirtbag Brands in 2026.
Since then, we have continued rebuilding the brand through dealers and direct relationships.
Gilmore represents another step in that process.
It also shows how our UTV and dirt bike worlds increasingly overlap.
Check out more about Torc1 Racing and learn more about what we are doing.
RideNow Goodyear Became Our Working Base at Camp RZR
We also worked from the RideNow Goodyear booth during Camp RZR.
That meant customer conversations quickly turned into actual installations.
We sold products directly during the event.
Then we installed mirrors for customers when needed.
That combination gives us information a website never can.
Customers tell you what they own.
They explain what they dislike about their current setup.
They also show you how their machines have been modified.
Consequently, events like Camp RZR remain valuable beyond simple exposure.
They become live product research.
A Maverick X3 Joined the Installation List
Camp RZR may center around Polaris, but Glamis certainly does not.
We also installed a Dirtbag mirror on a customer’s Can-Am Maverick X3.
One Camp RZR customer specifically came to us because he wanted better passenger-side visibility from his Maverick X3.
He was using Chupacabra mirrors at the time, the installation briefly gave us a visual side-by-side comparison of both mirror designs on the same vehicle.
We also told the customer that if the Dirtbag mirror did not improve his passenger-side visibility, we would not complete the installation.
After the first mirror was installed, we asked him to check the view before continuing.
He told us the visibility was “so much better,” so we completed the swap and removed the remaining Chupacabra mirror.
That gave us another first-party fitment example during the weekend.
The X3 remains one of the most recognizable sport UTV platforms in Glamis.
Meanwhile, the newer Maverick R continues pushing Can-Am further into high-performance territory.
Our Can-Am Maverick accessory guide covers both platforms here.
For a broader comparison of current high-performance sport machines, go ahead and learn more.
Camp Can-Am Brought Maverick R Test Drives to Glamis
Can-Am also created its own presence during the weekend.
Camp Can-Am sat outside the primary Camp RZR footprint.
The setup gave riders another performance UTV experience nearby.
Can-Am offered Maverick R test drives throughout the event.
That created an interesting contrast.
Inside Camp RZR, Polaris celebrated the RZR lineup and introduced the Factory Boost.
Nearby, Can-Am put potential customers behind the wheel of the Maverick R.
That competition benefits riders.
It also shows how important Glamis remains to sport UTV manufacturers.
Both brands want their machines seen where performance matters.

Riding in a Funco Changed the Perspective
We also managed to get away from the booths and ride.
One of those rides happened in a Funco sand car.
That experience was dramatically different from riding in a modern UTV.
A high-end sand car feels purpose-built around the dunes.
The chassis response feels different.
The suspension experience feels different.
Even the sensation of speed changes.
Modern UTVs have become incredibly capable.
However, riding in a dedicated sand car shows another side of dune performance.
It also helps explain why Glamis attracts such a wide range of machines.
RZRs, Maverick Rs, X3s, sand rails, and Funco cars can all share the same landscape.
Yet each delivers a completely different experience.
Sunset Hill Reminded Us Why Glamis Is Bigger Than Vendor Row
Vendor Row matters.
However, Glamis does not make sense until you leave it.
We spent time around Sunset Hill, Swing Set, Oldsmobile Hill, and more landmarks during the weekend.
That gave us another chance to capture the scale of the dunes.
Drone footage showed the landscape from above.
GoPro footage captured the movement.
Meanwhile, phone photos documented the people and machines around us.
Those moments matter to this coverage.
Camp RZR is not simply a trade show sitting in the desert.
The event exists because of the dunes surrounding it.
Daddy’s Famous Foods Was Part of the Weekend
A Glamis weekend also needs food.
We stopped at Daddy’s Famous Foods during Camp RZR.
We also added a Dirtbag Brands sticker to the collection there.
That small moment probably explains our approach better than another polished booth photo.
Relationships matter in this industry.
Food, riding, camps, dealers, vendors, and customers all overlap.
Daddy’s has become part of that Glamis culture.
Brad and the Daddy’s crew were already friends before this trip.
Therefore, stopping there felt more like visiting friends than checking another box.
We Stayed With Glamis Veterans and GlamisDunes.com
Our Camp RZR weekend also connected directly with two recent Brands We Know stories.
We stayed with friends from Glamis Veterans and GlamisDunes.com.
Those relationships have grown well beyond the original interviews.
Glamis Veterans represents an important part of the community’s history and traditions.
GlamisDunes.com represents another part of that history.
The longtime forum helped connect riders before modern social media existed.
Our interview with Erik Pedersen from Glamisdunes.com covers that story.
Those connections changed how we experienced Camp RZR.
We were not simply driving into Glamis for an event.
We were spending the weekend inside a community we now know personally.
Camp RZR 2026 Built on Our 2025 Experience
This was not our first Camp RZR.
Dirtbag Brands attended Camp RZR in 2025 as well.
That trip included RideNow Goodyear, Vendor Row, customer installs, fitment work, and industry relationships.
However, 2026 felt different.
Our relationships had grown.
Our Glamis content had expanded.
Torc1 Racing had joined the company.
Additionally, we entered the weekend with more connections throughout the community.
That progression matters.
One event becomes two.
One relationship introduces another.
Eventually, those individual experiences become a much larger body of firsthand knowledge.
Camp RZR and Sand Sports Super Show Now Connect
Camp RZR also connects naturally with our 2026 Sand Sports Super Show coverage.
The two events offer very different perspectives.
Sand Sports Super Show brings brands, manufacturers, products, and industry people together.
Camp RZR puts many of those same products into the dunes.
That creates a useful content loop.
We can meet people at Sand Show.
Then we can see products and machines operating in Glamis.
The Interviews Did Not Happen This Time
We originally planned several interviews during Camp RZR.
The weekend had other ideas.
Customer installs took time.
Dealer work took time.
Riding took time.
People moved constantly.
Therefore, we did not force interviews simply to complete a checklist.
Instead, we worked.
We installed products.
We talked with customers.
We spent time with friends.
We rode.
We captured the event.
Sometimes that tells a better story anyway.
The planned interviews can happen another day.
Camp RZR 2026 Became More Than a Polaris Event for Us
The name says Camp RZR.
Polaris clearly remains the center of the event.
However, our 2026 experience stretched well beyond one manufacturer.
We watched Polaris RZR Pro R Boosts go on test drives.
We worked on RZR XP and Pro R machines.
We installed mirrors on Maverick X3’s.
We installed on Maverick R’s and also watched them test drive Maverick R’s nearby at Camp Can-Am.
We rode in Funco sand cars.
We stocked Torc1 Racing at Gilmore Offroad.
We worked from RideNow Goodyear’s booth.
We ate at Daddy’s Famous Foods.
We stayed with Glamis Veterans and GlamisDunes.com friends.
Most importantly, we spent the weekend experiencing Glamis instead of merely observing it.
That is where the useful information comes from.
What Camp RZR 2026 Showed Us
Sport UTVs keep getting faster.
The RZR Pro R Factory Boost makes that obvious.
However, horsepower was only one story from the weekend.
Customers still care about fitment.
Dealers still matter.
Community still matters.
The dunes still expose what products actually work.
Those lessons apply whether someone drives a RZR, Maverick X3, Maverick R, or something completely different.
For Dirtbag Brands, Camp RZR 2026 became another layer of firsthand experience.
It also strengthened our growing connection with Glamis.
We expect that story to keep growing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Dirtbag Brands uses the same MIRROR-01 part number across multiple round-cage sport UTV platforms.
MIRROR-01 fits many Polaris RZR models, Can-Am Maverick models, and Kawasaki KRX/H2 platforms with compatible round cage tubing.
The clamp range is 1.75 to 2.0 inches.
That means one mirror platform can cover several major sport UTV families instead of requiring a different mirror for every brand.
Polaris used Camp RZR 2026 to showcase the RZR Pro R Factory Boost.
The machine pushes the RZR platform much further into purpose-built desert racing.
It features up to 400 horsepower, race-focused chassis changes, and a much larger fuel capacity than recreational RZR models.
Yes.
Can-Am operated a separate Camp Can-Am area nearby and offered Maverick R test drives during the weekend.
That gave riders a chance to compare different high-performance UTV experiences in the same Glamis weekend.
Dirtbag Brands completed mirror installs on several sport UTV platforms during the event.
Those included Polaris RZR XP models, Polaris RZR Pro R models, and a Can-Am Maverick X3 and Maverick R models.
