2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 165 ES 7S

Carve first tracks and chase bigger lines on this ** 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® SPS 165 ES 7S**—a mountain sled that feels like it was built for the moment the trail ends and the climb begins. Finished in ****, it wears its attitude loud and clear, with a look that stands out even when everything around you is nothing but white and sky.



At the heart of it all is the **Patriot 9R**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** powerplant with **899 cc** of displacement. It’s a **horizontal in-line** setup with **reed valve** intake and **fuel injection**, sipping **regular fuel** through a **gas / oil injected** system. Hit the **electric start**, and you’re ready to roll without the ritual. Power routes through a **CVT** with **belt** drive and **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutching, delivering that smooth, intuitive feel that makes technical mountain riding less about fighting the machine and more about choosing the next move. When the terrain turns into a tight turnaround or a tricky situation, **reverse** is there to save effort for what really matters—getting back on the throttle.



The mountain personality shows up in the bones, too. The **MATRYX aluminum frame** keeps things purposeful, while the sled’s **132-inch** overall length and **43.4-inch** width strike a balance between stability and precision. The adjustable ski stance—**36 to 38 inches**—lets you tune the feel for the way you ride and the snow you’re in. And with a **dry weight of 452 lb**, it stays in that sweet spot where the sled feels solid under you without feeling like you’re dragging an anchor uphill.



Up front, the **RMK® React™** suspension uses an **independent A-arm** design with **9 inches** of travel. Out back, the **RMK® KHAOS®** rear suspension brings **16 inches** of travel with **two rear shocks**, built to keep you composed when the snow gets choppy, the landings get real, or the sidehill gets spicy. Damping is handled by **WER® Velocity** adjustable gas shocks with **remote reservoirs**—front, rear, and center—so you can dial it in and keep your confidence when conditions change by the hour.



Then there’s the track—because in the mountains, traction is the whole conversation. The **Series 8** track runs a full **165 inches** long and **15 inches** wide with **2.75-inch** lugs, ready to claw for elevation and keep you driving forward when the slope says you shouldn’t be able to. Up front, **Gripper® skis** (plastic) with **carbide** skags help keep the steering honest when you’re threading through trees or setting an edge.



Control points are built for real riding days. A **ProTaper™ handlebar** puts you in command, with **thumb throttle** response that feels natural when you’re standing, leaning, and working the terrain. The low, tinted **LED** setup keeps visibility clean, while **heated, adjustable driver grips** help your hands stay ready when the ride turns into an all-day mission. The one-piece **vinyl seat** keeps it simple—this is a one-rider tool, designed around the driver and the line ahead.



And when you’re deep into the ride and want your info without the clutter, **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS** is on board, backed up with practical alerts like a **temperature warning light** and a **fuel level gauge**. With **11 gallons** of fuel capacity, you’ve got room to roam—whether your plan is “one more bowl” or “let’s see what’s over that ridge.”



Available in **Gloss Black** or **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**, this one in **** delivers mountain intent with a playful edge—ready to turn fresh snow into your personal playground.
