Description
Dressed in , this 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R Switchback® Assault® 146 - Race IFS doesn’t just show up for winter—it shows off. It’s the kind of crossover sled that looks perfectly at home parked at the trailhead, yet clearly has other plans the moment you thumb the throttle.
At its heart is the Patriot 9R: a liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke horizontal in-line that mixes modern precision with that unmistakable snap of a performance sled. With fuel injection and gas/oil injection, it’s built to be crisp and responsive, and yes—this one is turbocharged, because “plenty fast” is rarely the goal. Whether you fire it up with electric start or go old-school with pull start, it’s ready when you are. Power feeds through a CVT with P-22 / TEAM LWT clutching, putting smooth drive at your fingertips—and when the trail gets tight or the parking spot gets awkward, reverse makes life easy.
The MATRYX aluminum chassis keeps things feeling lively, while the Independent A-Arm front end and IGX rear suspension give you that confident crossover attitude—planted on the trail, composed when conditions turn rough. With 9.5 inches of front travel and 16 inches of rear travel, plus WER® Velocity adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs (front, rear, and center), you can dial the ride for your day: firmer and precise, or a bit more forgiving when the route gets hammered.
Out back, the R Cobra track—146 inches long and 15 inches wide, with 1.352-inch lugs—brings the bite, while Pro-Steer™ composite skis with carbide skags keep the front end tracking true. Add in the Matryx Stealth hydraulic disc brake and a balanced stance, and the whole package feels eager to turn, pull, and repeat.
And because long rides should feel like a reward, you’ve got RIDE COMMAND™ GPS, Bluetooth® Audio, mobile app instrumentation, LED lighting, a low tinted windshield, and heated adjustable grips—all wrapped around a focused one-seat cockpit that’s ready to rack up miles with a grin.
