Meet the 2027 Polaris 850 INDY® VR1 137 in ****—a trail-bred performance sled that looks as fast as it feels. The MATRYX platform gives it a purposeful, rider-focused stance, and with that **** finish catching light at every turn, it’s the kind of machine that doesn’t just show up at the staging area—it announces itself.
Thumb the throttle and the Patriot™ 840 comes alive with that unmistakable 2-stroke snap. This is a liquid-cooled, reed-valve, fuel-injected twin built for riders who like their power crisp and immediate, not politely delivered. The electric start makes getting rolling easy, and once you’re moving the continuously variable (CVT) setup keeps the pull smooth and eager as trail conditions change. Regular fuel, gas/oil injection, and a single exhaust keep things straightforward—so you can focus on the ride, not the ritual.
On-trail, the VR1 137 feels planted and precise. Up front, the independent A-arm MATRYX suspension pairs with Walker Evans Racing (WER®) adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs, giving you the control to dial in the feel as the day evolves—from early-morning hardpack to late-day chatter. Out back, the PRO-CC rear suspension brings 16.2 inches of travel with two rear shocks plus a WER® center shock, all remote-reservoir and adjustable—ready for the kind of pace that turns “cruising” into “charging.” The 137-inch Cobra Track puts down a confident footprint with a 15-inch width and 1.35-inch lugs, delivering dependable bite when the trail gets loose, chopped, or freshly dusted.
Steering is direct and rider-driven—manual, handlebar-controlled, and matched with Pro-Steer™ composite skis and carbide skags for that accurate, point-and-shoot feel through corners. When it’s time to rein things in, the Matryx Stealth hydraulic disc brake brings strong, consistent control without drama. And because long rides are more fun when the sled is working with you, the cockpit is thoughtfully set up: a mid-height tinted windshield to take the edge off the wind, hand guards for extra protection, and heated driver grips that keep the good times going when the temperature drops.
Tech-wise, it’s ready for modern riding. RIDE COMMAND™ GPS helps keep your day on track, while Bluetooth® audio and mobile app instrumentation keep the experience connected without getting in the way of the ride. Practical touches are here, too—an 11.5-gallon fuel capacity for longer loops, plus underseat storage (1.8 gallons) for the essentials you’d rather bring than wish you had.
All told, this 2027 INDY® VR1 137 in **** is built for riders who measure winter in miles, corners, and throttle time—then go looking for more of all three.
