Dressed in **Gloss Black**, this 2027 Polaris 650 Voyageur® Adventure 160 155 looks like it was built for the kind of winter days that start with a plan…and end with a story. It’s a sport-utility snowmobile with a touring mindset: comfortable enough to settle into for the long haul, yet ready to turn off the groomed path the moment a promising line through the trees catches your eye.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ 650**—a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** horizontal in-line engine with **fuel injection** and **oil injection**, so it’s crisp when you squeeze the **thumb throttle** and consistent when the conditions swing from deep-cold morning to bright afternoon. Hit the **electric start**, let it come to life, and you’re off with the smooth, always-ready feel of a **CVT transmission** and belt drive. When it’s time to maneuver in tight spots—parking areas, trailheads, or that “we should probably turn around here” moment—**reverse** makes it easy.
This Voyageur is sized for real adventures. With an overall length of **133 inches** and a stance that can be set between **39 and 41 inches**, it feels planted and confident without being cumbersome. The **AXYS® aluminum frame** keeps the structure strong, while the body’s practical plastic panels are made for winter life—snow, ice, gloves, and all.
Up front, the **High Clearence IFS** independent A-arm suspension offers **9 inches of travel** and shock-mounted adjustability, supported by **Polaris IFP adjustable hydraulic shocks** with coil-over design. Out back, the **BackTrak15** rear suspension brings a big **16.5 inches of travel**, with **Fox® QS3** adjustable hydraulic shocks plus a **Fox® QS3 center shock** featuring a gas IFP setup and a remote reservoir—exactly the kind of controlled feel you appreciate when the trail gets choppy or the snow goes from silky to set-up and rugged.
For traction and float, it rides on a **Cobra Track**—**155 inches long**, **15 inches wide**, with **1.6-inch lugs**—a setup that’s happy cruising the trail but clearly doesn’t mind when the route turns into “let’s see where this goes.” And when it’s time to rein it in, the **Matryx Stealth** brake system with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake delivers solid stopping power with a clean, modern feel at the lever.
Touring comfort is baked in, too. The **two-piece seat** (vinyl, driver and passenger) makes it easy to settle in for longer rides, and the passenger gets a dedicated **backrest**—a small detail that becomes a big deal on all-day runs. Cold hands? Not here: **heated grips for both driver and passenger** keep everyone happier when the wind picks up. There’s also a **high, folding LED** setup and practical on-sled awareness with a **fuel gauge** and a **temperature warning light**, so you can stay focused on the ride instead of guessing.
Utility touches round out the personality: skid-resistant running boards, a belt guard, snow guard, and a **receiver-style rear hitch** that hints this sled is ready to do more than just play. Add in TrailBreaker skis with **carbide skags**, and steering stays precise when the trail gets hard-packed and fast.
In **Gloss Black**, it’s understated and sharp—an adventure machine that looks as capable as it feels. The kind of sled that doesn’t just get you to winter; it pulls you deeper into it.
