This crossover snowmobile is a trail-blazing masterpiece, ready to conquer any terrain with its Patriot™ engine roaring to life. Feel the power of this 2-stroke, horizontal in-line engine as you traverse through the snowy landscapes, cooling you down with its efficient liquid cooling system.



The Reed Valve configuration ensures maximum performance, while the fuel-injected carburetion keeps you moving smoothly without missing a beat. Start your journey with ease using the electric or pull starter, and rev up the engine as you hit the trails with a full tank of regular gas. No turbocharging or supercharging needed for this beast - just pure power and adrenaline!



Navigate effortlessly with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system and feel the seamless belt-driven power transfer from the P-85 / TEAM clutch. Engage the reverse gear when needed, and enjoy the reliability of the belt-drive system as you maneuver through diverse terrains with ease.



Crafted with precision, the aluminum frame of the 2026 Polaris snowmobile is both lightweight and durable, giving you the perfect balance of strength and agility. The sleek plastic body material adds a modern touch to its design, while the Matryx frame brand ensures top-notch quality for all your snow-filled adventures.



Feel in control with the Pro-Steer™ composite skis that glide effortlessly over the snow, thanks to the carbide skags providing superior grip and stability. The sleek look of this snowmobile is matched with the practicality and functionality of the integrated hand guards and snow guards, keeping you safe and comfortable as you carve through the powder.



Experience smooth rides with the Independent A-Arm front suspension and IGX rear suspension, equipped with Fox® QS3 adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs for a customized and comfortable journey. The shock-mounted adjustments allow you to fine-tune your ride, whether you're cruising over moguls or speeding down the slopes.



Braking is responsive and reliable with the MATRYX hydraulic disc brake system, giving you the confidence to tackle steep descents and sharp turns with ease. The vinyl one-piece seat provides comfort for long rides, while the temperature warning light and fuel gauge keep you informed and prepared for any situation.



The LED lights illuminate your path as you explore the winter wonderland, with a tinted, low-height windshield adding style and functionality to your ride. Stay warm and in control with the adjustable heated hand grips, ensuring that your hands are cozy and comfortable as you brave the cold.



With the Cobra Track leading the way, you can conquer deep snow and rough terrain effortlessly, thanks to its 146-inch length and 15-inch width. The 1.352-inch lug height provides exceptional traction, allowing you to push the limits and explore the untouched beauty of the winter landscape.
