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.
