ProX is proudly bringing budget-friendly and reliable performance to RZR 800 engines in need of a rebuild. Manufactured by OEM suppliers with additional features added, these pistons help keep the fun going without breaking the bank.
In recent years, the UTV market has exploded in popularity among enthusiasts. One of the flagship machines that led the growing interest in UTVs was the Polaris Ranger RZR 800. The RZR 800 is a versatile, high-performance UTV that has been on the market for over a decade. Early model RZR 800 engines can be rebuilt to regain lost performance due to years of wear and tear.
The ProX team has been hard at work developing replacement pistons for the Polaris RZR 800 UTV. ProX's new pistons are packed full of performance-enhancing features and are now available through ProX’s distributors worldwide. The energy and development that has gone into these pistons is showcased in the key features that make these pistons stand out.

Performance Enhancing Design Features
The ProX team exceeded the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications in several ways. ProX selected an AC8A cast alloy, which is equivalent to the OEM alloy utilized. The AC8A alloy was retained because it has superior mechanical properties. One of the benefits of this alloy is that it offers low thermal expansion, which creates a stable piston structure. A stable piston structure is key to ensuring excellent piston durability and optimal performance throughout the life of the piston.
Tight-tolerance CNC machines are utilized to fully machine the piston crown. ProX chose to fully machine the crown to improve airflow in the combustion chamber and create a uniform surface that could be hard-coat anodized. Improved airflow ultimately results in increased combustion efficiency and more power.
The top compression ring land features a hard-anodized coating, which significantly improves durability compared to non-coated ring lands, and also helps improve heat resistance and reduces the possibility of micro-welding of the ring groove to the piston ring. Piston durability is further improved by incorporating an anodized piston crown, which helps improve heat resistance and reduces carbon build-up.
The MOS2 piston skirt coating is an essential part of ProX's piston design, with multiple significant benefits. The MOS2 coating is an abradable coating that allows the piston to conform to the cylinder bore throughout break-in. This coating allows a tighter running fit between the piston and cylinder. The coating itself features anti-friction properties, which reduce internal friction within the engine leading to increased power and reduced wear when compared to uncoated pistons.
Piston Sizes
The RZR 800 pistons are available in three different sizes for stock cylinders that are within spec as well as those that have worn slightly larger. The three sizes ProX offers are listed below:
- A = Standard Size (79.95mm)
- B = Oversize (79.96mm)
- C = Oversize (79.97mm)
