FEATURES

Capability for Wherever You Ride.

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.

Rider-First Design. Effortless Control.

The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondocker's dream. The narrow cockpit provides improved rider connection to the sled. Helping 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.

Proven Patriot Power.

Choose a smooth and powerful 650 Patriot, or the durable and relentless acceleration of the 850 Patriot.

Purpose-Built Handling On and Off Trail

When we build a sled, we build it to be the best sled for a unique riding style. Not simply a different sticker or name. Every part is scrutinized to deliver what you need as a rider.

Effortless Control

The Matryx platform Switchback XC 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.

Tailor Your Ride With a Quick Switch.

High-performance, adjustable, and rebuildable FOX® QS3 shocks offer easy adjustability and deliver outstanding performance on- and off-trail. The remote reservoir promotes heat dissipation and ensures consistently outstanding performance in all riding conditions.

Predictable Steering. Confidence Inspiring.

Developed on the track, proven on the trail. The Polaris IFS is the perfect balance of effort, precision & zero-bump- steer-stability to deliver ultimate handling and control.

Industry-Leading Technology

Polaris sleds lead the way in technology that enhances your ride. Technology built to help you plan rides, track your group, keep your hands warm on the ride and see your way from dusk til dawn.

PLAN YOUR RIDE. TRACK THE FUN.

Plan, track, and share your ride with the 7S Display powered by RIDE COMMAND. The 7" glove-touch display is purpose-bulit for snowmobiles, with on-board diagnostics, GPS navigation with over 380,000 miles of offline trail data, and sled-to-sled Group Ride technology to see your ride group with or without cell coverage.

WARM HANDS. BETTER RIDES.

The Polaris-exclusive SmartWarmers build heat quickly and maintain your customized temperature regardless of the temperature outside. Enhance your ride further by setting individual thumb and hand temperatures for an even more customized level of comfort.
