Features

Industry-Leading Technology

  • 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.
  • LED LIGHTING. STANDARD.: Equipped with a LED headlight and taillight to provide, clean, clear illumination allowing you to see and be seen.
  • 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.

Purpose-Built To Make Your Ride Better.

  • LIGHT & STRONG.: Bonded aluminum construction.
  • PATRIOT POWER.: 650 Patriot.
  • 1.6 COBRA TRACK.: Confident on-trail and off-trail.
  • EFFORTLESS CONTROL: The Matryx platform Switchback SP features a rider-first design and decades of suspension development pulling inspiration from RMK mountain sleds and INDY trail sleds to create the best handling crossover sled on snow.
  • SMOOTH RIDES START HERE.: Polaris Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Shocks deliver both durability and high-performance. They perform reliably under the harshest conditions and deliver a smooth ride and handling.
  • 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.
  • FLOAT. FLY. AND CARVE THE CORNERS.: The IGX 146 Rear Suspension features optimized geometry to better control pitch. The tipped rail design allows for easier cornering and acceleration while the 146" length offers improved flotation.
  • 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.

Versatility For Wherever You Ride.

  • RIDER-FIRST DESIGN. EFFORTLESSS CONTROL.: The Switchback on the Matryx platform is a boondockers 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 gives you the flotation benefit of a 146 suspension, with the trail manners of a 137 suspension.
  • SMOOTH. POWERFUL. FUEL EFFICIENT.: Built on the proven architecture of the 850 Patriot, the 650 Patriot is smooth, powerful and features instant throttle response.
  • 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.
