Segway Super Villain SxS makes debut at Silver State 300

Segway Powersports, Segway Factory Racing, and Evolution Powersports (EVP) took on the legendary Silver State 300 on April 29. At the center of this alliance was the debut of the Segway Super Villain SX20T side-by-side. 

This collaboration fuses Segway Powersports’ innovative design with Evolution Powersports’ tuning and performance expertise. As part of the Best in the Desert series, the Silver State 300 presented a formidable test across 330 miles of unforgiving Nevada desert terrain. With six pit stops and extreme conditions, it was the ideal stage for the SX20T’s first competitive outing. 

“The new Segway Super Villain completed its first-ever race, which is the important part,” according to a Facebook post on Mid-South UTV Trail Riders. “Even though it was first in class... it was the only one in its class. Because there are no other factory SxS that are over 1000cc with a turbo, other than Segway. But it did finish 31st overall and 11th in the UTV category. But was beaten by a UTV Pro N/A in 9th Overall UTV.” 

EVP holds multiple speed records, podium finishes, and has a reputation for high-impact performance in the SxS racing world. Their previous work with Segway — developing aftermarket solutions for the Villain SX10 — laid the groundwork for this new collaboration. They are ready for the next stage with a factory-backed racing program to be tested under the most extreme conditions. 

“Partnering with Evolution Powersports is a major step forward,” says Gabriel Cruz, marketing director at Segway Powersports. “The Super Villain SX20T represents a new era of performance and innovation in powersports. With EVP’s elite expertise, we’re confident we’ll be able to demonstrate what this machine is truly capable of.” 

“We’re excited to partner with Segway Powersports for the debut of the Super Villain SX20T,” says Todd Zuccone, co-founder of EVP. “From the moment we began testing, we were impressed by the platform’s potential. With our performance tuning and race experience.” 

As race day concluded, and the Super Villain completed the race first in class, it is just the beginning of what this collaboration can offer in future race events.
