From the Classic Dune Buggy to Modern Power
The Polaris RZR 1000 has its roots in the legendary dune buggy — a lightweight, open-air vehicle first created in the 1960s by Bruce Meyers. His goal was simple: build something that could glide over the sandy terrain of Southern California.
Meyers crafted the first dune buggy by modifying a Volkswagen Beetle, and it quickly became a favorite among off-road enthusiasts. However, while the original dune buggy had undeniable charm, it wasn’t ideal for all terrains and often needed mechanical and welding skills to maintain.
The Polaris RZR 1000 – The Evolution of Off-Road Adventure
The Polaris RZR 1000 takes off-road driving to the next level. Designed for every kind of terrain — from sand dunes to rocky climbs — it packs a powerful 1000 cc engine, high-performance long travel suspension, and a reinforced roll cage for safety and stability.
Though decades apart, both the original dune buggy and the Polaris RZR 1000 share a common mission — giving off-road enthusiasts the thrill of adventure and the freedom to explore without limits.
Today, the Polaris RZR 1000 stands as a true descendant of Meyers’ creation, carrying forward his legacy with modern engineering and unmatched capability. At Vegas Off Road Tours, we’re proud to offer the latest and greatest Polaris machines for your desert adventure.
