Leandro Torres and co-driver Lourival Roldan have become the very first Dakar SSV class winners, taking the 2017 title in their factory Xtreme Plus Polaris RZR1000XT machine, by an impressive 4h 42m.
Polaris Factory drivers have dominated the first half of Dakar 2017, locking out the top five positions in the newly recognised SSV class, as competitors reached rest day on Sunday (Jan 8), the traditional midway point.
In just under two weeks time, the world’s toughest race makes its debut in Paraguay, kicking off the 39th edition of the legendary Dakar event, with Polaris looking to secure its sixth win and take the event’s very first SSV class title in the process.
