Rugged Radios Baja RZR

 

Rugged Radios owner, Greg Cottrell, is no stranger to innovation. Whether it’s staying ahead of the curve with constant product development, or creating industry-first equipment for race teams, Greg is always a step ahead. With the popularity of UTV’s growing fast, Greg came up with an idea that was even faster. An idea that he wanted to be debuted at the largest off-road expo of the year, the Sand Sport Super Show. When you take into account that the entire project, from inception to completion took only 4 months, you can start to understand Greg, and Rugged’s, “always on-the-gas” mentality.

Greg’s fondness for VW Bugs started as a kid, with his dad racing the Baja 1000 in a Class 11. This inspired him to do something that had never been done before; merge the style, body, and feel of a VW Bug, with the versatility, power, and durability of a 2015 RZR XP1000. Long hours were spent in the NV Fab garage, where shop owner Nick Valentine worked to merge these two distinct ideas into what’s famously known as “The Baja RZR”.
