“The success of RZR Factory Racing is built on a foundation of strong partnerships which is why we’re excited to bring on MPI as our steering wheel vendor for the RZR ProR Factory. Max and his team created a fully integrated work-of-art that reflects the same relentless pursuit of excellence that defines our race program.” – Alex Scheuerell, Director – Polaris Off-Road Motorsports

Since 2009, MPI© (Max Papis Innovations) has been dedicated to advancing steering wheel safety and performance across all levels of motorsport. The company’s mission was born from Papis’ own on-track experience—after suffering broken wrists in a crash while his steering wheel remained intact, he recognized the need for safer technology. That realization led to the development of MPI’s impact-absorbing steering wheel design, engineered to reduce stress on a driver’s wrists during high-impact events. Today, MPI wheels are trusted by top competitors across multiple professional racing series.
Since its launch in 2023, the RZR Factory Race team has set the standard in off-road racing, dominating globally across series like SCORE International, Dakar, BITD, UNLTD, and Ultra4. The team secured a three-peat in the 2025 BAJA 1000, following back-to-back wins from Cayden MacCachren in 2023 and Brock Heger in 2024. This years victory maintained the RZR Factory Race teams undefeated record in the SCORE International series.
