Features

Effortless Control & Performance

  • LIGHT & STRONG: Bonded aluminum construction for added durability.
  • PATRIOT POWER: Choose from 650, 850, Patriot Boost, or Patriot 9R engine options.
  • TRACK CHOICES: Tailor your traction for your riding style.
  • EFFORTLESS CONTROL & 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 sled to create the best handling crossover sled on snow.
  • 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. They feature a 2" body for increased oil capacity to ensure all-day performance and 5/8" shafts for durability.
  • 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.

Industry-Leading Technology

  • PLAN YOUR RIDE. TRACK THE FUN.: Plan, track, and share your ride with the 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.
  • 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.
  • LIGHT THE WAY.: The NightBlade Headlight brings state of the art lighting technology to Polaris riders. Six projector beam optics deliver precision lighting with an engineered pattern to deliver exceptional visibility for night riding. The Patriot 9R and the Patriot Boost Switchback Assault features Sinister Amber Accent lighting.
  • 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.

On And Off Trail Versatility

  • 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.
  • CHOOSE YOUR POWER.: With four engine choices from the Patriot Family. Choose a smooth and efficient 650 Patriot, legendary durability of the 850 Patriot, the turbocharged Patriot Boost, or the lightning-fast response of the Patriot 9R.
  • 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 2025 includes the option of the Patriot 9R engine for corner-to-corner torque and lightning-fast response without weight compromise.
