Meet the 2027 Polaris 650 INDY® VR1 Dynamix 137 in ****—a trail-bred performance sled that looks as quick as it feels. From the first glance, this color gives the VR1 a confident, “get out of my snow-dust” attitude, and once you thumb the throttle, the personality matches the paint.
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot™ 650**: a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** built in a **horizontal in-line** layout with **reed valve** breathing and **fuel injection**. It’s the kind of setup that makes cold mornings less dramatic—hit the **electric start**, let it settle, and you’re ready to chase groomers, carve corners, and link smooth, fast lines all day on **regular fuel** with **gas/oil injection** keeping things happy. Power delivery runs through a **CVT** with **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutches and **belt drive**, so the ride stays responsive and lively when you roll into it—and yes, it’s got **reverse** for those “oops, that looked like a good parking spot” moments.
This VR1 is built around the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, which helps keep the sled feeling precise without turning it into a chore when the pace picks up. Up front, **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** with **carbide skags** team with an **independent A-arm** front suspension to keep the nose accurate and calm, with **9.5 inches** of front travel ready to absorb trail surprises. The stance is a confident **42.5 inches**, giving you that planted, point-and-shoot feel when the trail turns into a rhythm section of sweepers and quick transitions.
Out back, the **PRO-CC rear suspension** brings **16.2 inches** of travel to the party, backed by **Fox® Dynamix** shocks—front, rear, and center—each an **adjustable gas shock with remote reservoir**. Translation: you can dial in the feel, and the sled stays composed when conditions change from freshly groomed to choppy and back again. Put it all together with the **Cobra Track**—a **137-inch** track that’s **15 inches** wide with **1.35-inch lugs**—and you get that sweet spot of trail agility and confident hookup, perfect for riders who like to keep the pace honest.
And when it’s time to scrub speed, the **Matryx Stealth** braking system with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake delivers the kind of control that helps you brake later, settle earlier, and exit cleaner. Practical touches round out the experience: **LED lighting** (with a **tinted**, **mid-height** windshield), **heated and adjustable driver hand grips**, **hand guards**, and smart protection like a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **shock cover**. There’s also **underseat storage** (1.8 gallons) for the essentials.
Finally, for riders who like their rides connected, it comes with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation**, along with clear warnings and readouts like a **fuel gauge** and **temperature warning light**.
In ****, this 650 INDY® VR1 Dynamix 137 doesn’t just blend into winter—it shows up, stands out, and begs for “one more run.”
