Features

Off-Trail Capability

  • 146 IGX REAR SUSPENSION: Optimized suspension geometry better controls pitch.
  • COBRA TRACKS: The 1.35 Cobra tracks provide confident on trail performance while delivering exceptional traction and grip in loose snow conditions.

On-Trail Handling

  • INDUSTRY-LEADING POLARIS RACE IFS: The perfect balance of effort, precision & zero-bump- steer-stability to deliver ultimate handling and control.
  • NARROWER COCKPIT: 4.8” narrower console and 3” narrower at the knees, creates a more mobile rider experience allowing full freedom of movement for effortless control
  • MAXIMIZED WIND PROTECTION & MINIMAL DRAG: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) design tools ensure maximum wind protection and minimal drag for a warmer, more comfortable ride.
  • SCULPTED SIDE PANELS: Opens a new dimension of rider mobility allowing the rider to move around the sled rather than being confined by it.
  • WIND PROTECTION: Improved leg and lower body comfort and protection. Enhanced windshield design for hand protection and less wind buffeting. Updated geometry for improved aerodynamics.
  • FOX QS3: 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.

Polaris Performance and Technology
