Meet the ** 2027 Polaris 650 INDY® Adventure 137 1.25** in ****—a trail sled that looks ready to leave the parking lot behind and start collecting stories. It’s the kind of machine that makes you plan “just a quick ride” and somehow turns it into an all-day roam with one more lake, one more overlook, and one more ribbon of groomed trail calling your name.
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot™ 650**—a **650cc**, **2-cylinder**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-stroke** built to keep things lively without demanding premium fuel. With **fuel injection** and **gas/oil injection**, it’s designed to be the reliable, ready-to-go partner you want when the temperature drops and the trail stretches out. Tap the **electric start**, settle your thumb on the **thumb throttle**, and let the **CVT** do what it does best: keep the power smooth and responsive as the scenery starts to blur.
The ride itself is pure modern Polaris trail confidence. The **MATRYX** aluminum frame gives this INDY® Adventure a planted, precise feel, while the **Independent A-Arm** front suspension and **MATRYX** front end deliver **9.5 inches** of travel to help keep the skis composed when the trail gets choppy. Out back, the **PRO-CC** rear suspension brings **16.2 inches** of travel and a **two-shock** setup that’s built for long days and changing conditions. Add in **Fox® QS3** adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs at the front, rear, and center, and you’ve got an easy way to tune the feel when your “trail day” turns into a mix of smooth cruise, surprise bumps, and playful corners.
Up front, **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** and **carbide skags** help keep the steering predictable, and with a **42.5-inch** ski stance, it’s set up to track straight and carve clean. When it’s time to rein things in, the **Matryx Stealth** brake system with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake gives you confident control—because the best rides are the ones where you feel in charge from the first mile to the last.
And this is where the “Adventure” name earns its keep. The **two-piece seat** makes room for company with **two-up seating**, plus a **passenger backrest** for added comfort when you bring a co-pilot along for the ride. There’s a **vinyl tail bag** ready for the essentials, and the cockpit is set up for real miles: **heated, adjustable driver hand grips**, **hand guards**, a **high, tinted, folding windshield**, and smart touches like **skid-resistant** running boards and a **belt guard**. It’s the kind of setup that says: yes, we’re going out even if the forecast is doing its best to talk us out of it.
Tech-wise, it’s ready to feel like a modern sled should. **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS** helps you keep your bearings, while **Bluetooth® audio**, **mobile app instrumentation**, and clear warning info—like a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**—keep the ride connected and informed without killing the vibe.
The track is the final piece of the personality: an **Ice Ripper XT** measuring **137 inches** long by **15 inches** wide, with **1.25-inch** lugs. That combo hits a sweet spot for trail duty—enough bite to feel confident when the surface changes, while still keeping the ride playful and agile when the corners stack up.
With a **120-inch** overall length, **11.5 gallons** of fuel capacity, and a dry weight of **539 lbs**, this 650 INDY® Adventure is built to make winter bigger—bigger rides, bigger routes, and bigger grins—especially when it’s dressed in **** and pointed toward the next turn in the trail.
