2027 Polaris 850 Switchback® Assault® 146 - Race IFS

Painted in , this 2027 Polaris 850 Switchback® Assault® 146 - Race IFS looks like it’s already halfway to the treeline before you even thumb the throttle. It’s a crossover with true trail manners, but the vibe is pure “see that untouched line over there?”—and then actually go ride it.



At the heart of it is the liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder Patriot™ 840cc 2-stroke, fed by fuel injection and built to respond fast and clean. Hit the thumb throttle and let the CVT do the thinking while you focus on the fun—whether you’re carving groomed corners, skipping across windblown drifts, or dipping off the trail to grab fresh snow. Electric start is there when you want easy, and pull start is there when you want backup confidence. Regular fuel keeps it simple, and reverse makes the “oops, wrong turn” moments a lot less dramatic.



Up front, the MATRYX independent A-arm suspension with 9.5 inches of travel and WER® Velocity adjustable gas shocks (with remote reservoirs) keeps the front end calm when the trail gets choppy. Out back, the IGX rear suspension delivers 16 inches of travel with matching WER® Velocity adjustables, so you can push harder without getting punished for it. The Pro-Steer™ composite skis with carbide skags give you that planted, precise feel when the corners stack up.



The 146 x 15 Cobra Track with 1.352-inch lugs is the sweet spot for a ride that wants to do it all: long enough to hook up when the snow gets deeper, still agile enough to play on-trail. And with an aluminum frame and a dry weight of 502 lbs, it stays lively and ready to flick.



Inside the cockpit, it’s all about staying comfortable and connected: a low tinted LED setup, heated adjustable grips, hand guards, and RIDE COMMAND™ GPS with Bluetooth® audio and mobile app instrumentation. Add in the Matryx Stealth hydraulic disc brake and an 11.5-gallon fuel tank, and you’ve got a machine that’s ready to chase the next horizon—especially in .
