Painted in ****, this 2027 Polaris 850 INDY® XC® 137 7S looks like it’s already moving even when it’s parked—sharp, purposeful, and ready to turn a “quick lap” into an all-day mission. (And if you’re still deciding on a look, this model is also offered in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**—but there’s something about that feels perfectly at home on crisp, fast trail miles.)
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ 840**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line built to bring that instant, grin-inducing response trail riders chase. With **fuel injection** and **gas/oil injection**, it’s the kind of setup that’s happy to fire up and get after it, with an **electric start** to make cold mornings and quick stops feel effortless. Feed it **regular fuel**, thumb the throttle, and let the single exhaust note do the talking.
Power delivery stays smooth and intuitive thanks to a **CVT** with **belt drive**, backed by a **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutch package. When the trail tightens up, **reverse** is there to keep things simple—because sometimes the smartest move is the easy one.
The ride is built around the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, giving the sled a responsive, trail-focused feel without piling on bulk (dry weight is **499 lb.**). The stance is dialed at **42.5 in.** ski width, with **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** up front and **carbide skags** ready to bite when the corners come at you fast. Up front, the **independent A-arm** suspension offers **9.5 in.** of travel, and when you start pushing the pace, the **Fox® QS3 adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** give you the control to match the moment—firm it up for aggressive runs or open it up for rougher stretches.
Out back, the **PRO-CC rear suspension** brings **16.2 in.** of travel with **two rear shocks**, plus a **Fox® QS3 center shock**—all adjustable, all ready to be tuned to your style and your trails. The track setup is pure confidence: a **Cobra Track** measuring **137 x 15** with **1.35 in. lugs**, the sweet spot for hooking up and staying composed when the trail turns choppy, loose, or freshly dusted.
When it’s time to rein things in, the **Matryx Stealth** braking system clamps down with a **hydraulic disc rear brake**, giving you consistent feel when you’re setting up for the next corner—or scrubbing speed as the trees start getting a little closer.
Polaris didn’t forget the long-ride comforts and smart touches, either. You get a **mid-height tinted LED windshield** to take the edge off the wind without feeling boxed in, plus **heated, adjustable driver grips** and **hand guards** to keep your hands happier when winter’s doing its thing. There’s a **one-piece vinyl seat** (single rider, as it should be for this kind of focused machine), **skid-resistant** running boards, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard**—small details that add up when you’re putting in real miles.
And for the modern trail day, **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS** helps keep your adventure pointed in the right direction, while the sled keeps an eye on things with a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**.
Bottom line: this 2027 INDY® XC® 137 7S in **** is a trail sled that wants you to ride longer, push harder, and come back with that slightly hoarse “worth it” laugh—because the only thing better than a great trail is the next one.
