2-Seater vs 4-Seater RZR Models

2-Seat RZR

Usually lighter and shorter wheelbase. Popular for trail riding, dunes, tight terrain, and aggressive solo/dual riding.

4-Seat RZR / XP 4

Longer wheelbase with room for passengers. Many engine families are shared with 2-seat models, but fitment details can still vary by year and trim.

Always Confirm Fitment

Before ordering, confirm year, model, and trim. UEW can help match the correct replacement engine, crankshaft, or part needed.
