Dressed in ****, this **2027 Polaris 650 INDY® XC® 137** looks like it showed up to the trail with a little extra swagger—and the attitude to back it up. It’s built squarely for the **trail** rider who wants a sled that feels playful when you’re carving corners, steady when the pace climbs, and ready when the route turns into a long, fast ribbon of snow. (And if you’re color-shopping, this model is also offered in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**—but this one wears **** like it owns the place.)
At the heart of the fun is the **Patriot™ 650**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** with **reed valve** breathing and **fuel injection** that keeps things crisp and consistent. Hit the **electric start**, thumb the **thumb throttle**, and you’re off—no drama, just that eager 2-stroke response that makes every straightaway feel like an invitation. It runs on **regular fuel** and uses a **gas / oil injected** setup, so you can spend more time plotting your next loop and less time fussing over the details.
Power delivery stays smooth thanks to a **CVT transmission** with **belt drive**, paired with a **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. Translation: it’s designed to make the most of the 650’s punch while keeping the ride predictable when you’re modulating speed through tighter sections. And when the trail gets crowded or the turnaround is tight, **reverse** is there to make life easy.
The chassis and ergonomics lean into control and confidence. The **MATRYX aluminum frame** keeps things purposeful, while the sled’s stance—set at **42.5 inches**—feels planted and precise. You’ve got a **mid-height tinted LED windshield** in front of you, **hand guards** to help take the edge off the elements, and **heated, adjustable driver grips** so your hands can stay ready for the next corner instead of begging for a warm-up break. The rider area is thoughtfully sorted too, with **skid-resistant** footing and a **one-piece vinyl seat** made for one mission: ride.
Suspension is where this INDY® XC® really earns its “let’s go find the next set of turns” personality. Up front, an **independent A-arm** setup with **9.5 inches of travel** works with **Fox® QS3 adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and **shock-mounted adjustment**—so you can quickly dial the feel for your kind of trail day. Out back, the **PRO-CC rear suspension** brings a generous **16.2 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **Fox® QS3** center shock—again with remote reservoirs—keeping the ride composed when the trail gets choppy or the speed creeps up.
Steering is **manual** through the handlebar, and the front end is backed by **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** with **carbide skags**, giving you that reassuring bite when you set a line and commit. When it’s time to scrub speed, the **Matryx Stealth** brake system uses a **hydraulic disc** rear brake for confident, consistent stopping power.
Out back, the sled hooks up with a **Cobra Track**—**137 inches long**, **15 inches wide**, with **1.35-inch lugs**—a combo that feels right at home on the trail when conditions change from hardpack to loose snow and back again. With an **11.5-gallon** fuel capacity, it’s also set up for real rides, not just quick laps.
Bottom line: in ****, this 650 INDY® XC® 137 is a trail sled with a lively heartbeat, a planted chassis, and the kind of adjustable ride that encourages “one more run” thinking—right up until the last light on the windshield fades into evening.
