Features

Capability For Wherever You Ride.

  • 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.
  • 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.

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 thumb vs. hand heat range for an even more customized level of comfort.
  • PLAN YOUR RIDE. TRACK THE FUN.: Plan, track, and share your ride by adding the optional 7S Display with Ride Command Technology. The 7" glove touch display is purpose bulit for snowmobiles, with on board diagnostics, trail maps, points of interest, and sled to sled Group Ride technology to see your ride group with or without cell coverage.
  • 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 Handling On And Off Trail

  • POWER PATRIOT: Choose from 650 or 850 Patriot engines.
  • LIGHT & STRONG: Bonded aluminum construction.
  • TRACK CHOICES: 1.35 or 1.6 Cobra Options
  • 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 Clicker 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.
  • 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, or the 2.0 Crossover for improved flotation off trail.
  • When we build a sled, we build it to be the best sled for every riding style, not simply a different sticker or name. Every part is scrutinized to deliver what you need as a rider.
