FEATURES

On and Off Trail Versatility

When the ride goes from the groomed trail to the singletrack, then the frozen swamp to the meadow, the versatility of a Switchback sled can't be beat. New for 2026 includes the option of Escape Front Suspension - a narrower 39-41" ski-stance for even better off-trail agility.

Rider-First Design. Effortless Control.

The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondocker's dream. The narrow cockpit provides improved rider connection to help you move around the sled in deep snow for balance or on-trail for precision.

Float. Fly. And Carve the Corners.

The IGX 146 Rear Suspension features optimized geometry to better control pitch. Tipped rail design allows for easier cornering and acceleration while the 146" length offers improved flotation.

The Perfect Suspension for Your Riding Style.

Choose your Switchback Assault experience with two front suspension options. The all-new Escape Front Suspension features a narrower front suspension and several RMK parts to give you the ultimate off-trail experience. The original, Race Front Suspension is a wider stance and delivers the ultimate trail comfort and handling with off-trail capability.

Effortless Control & Crossover Performance

The Matryx platform Switchback Assault features a rider-first design and decades of suspension development pulling the best attributes from RMK mountain sleds and INDY trail sleds to create the best handling crossover sled on snow, now with two front suspension options.

Tame the Chatter. Eat Up the Big Bumps.

Ultra-premium Walker Evans Velocity Shocks are designed to be compliant in the chatter and controlled in the big bumps. 1.75" body shocks on Escape front suspension for ultimate off-trail performance or 2" body shocks on Race front suspension for all-day performance and durability on the trails.

Engine Options For Every Rider.

With three engine choices from the Patriot Family. Choose a smooth and efficient 850 Patriot, the turbocharged Patriot Boost, or the lightning-fast response of the Patriot 9R.

Track Options for Every Terrain.

Choose the 1.352 Cobra for better control in packed snow or groomed trails, the 1.6 Cobra for versatility on or off trail, the 1.5 Ice Storm for icy conditions, or the 2.0 Crossover for better traction in deep snow.
