Dressed in ****, this 2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SPS 146 7S is the kind of mountain sled that looks ready for the first pull before you even touch the bars. (And yes—this model also comes in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**, but this one’s wearing **** with attitude.)
At the heart of it is the **Patriot™ 840**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** that’s built to feel lively the second the snow turns steep. With **fuel injection** and **gas/oil injection**, it’s designed to deliver crisp response on **regular fuel**, and when the day starts cold and quiet, you’ve got classic simplicity: a **pull start** that says, “Let’s ride,” without overcomplicating the moment. Twist into the throttle (well, **thumb** it), and the **CVT** with **belt drive** and **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutching works to keep the power smooth and usable when you’re threading trees or popping up onto the side of a drift. And when the terrain demands a quick reset, **reverse** is there to save you from the awkward shuffle.
This RMK is a mountain machine in the way it carries itself, too. The **MATRYX aluminum frame** helps keep things purposeful, with a dry weight of **425 lb** that’s ready to be muscled into technical lines, while the overall package stays compact and agile at **122.8 inches long** and **43.4 inches wide**. The stance is adjustable from **36 to 38 inches**, letting you tune how it feels under you—whether you want it nimble for quick transitions or planted when you’re committing to a line.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension brings **9 inches of travel**, paired with **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and **shock-mounted adjustment**—the kind of setup that encourages you to attack chopped-up approaches without getting bucked around. Out back, the RMK rear suspension delivers **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks**, plus a **Polaris IFP center shock**, all adjustable and all aimed at keeping the sled composed when the snow gets rough or the pitch gets serious.
And then there’s the business end: a **Series 6 track** measuring **146 x 15 inches** with **2.6-inch lugs**—built to bite, climb, and keep pushing when the powder turns deep and the hill keeps going. The skis are **Gripper® composite** with **carbide skags**, giving you the kind of steering feel that helps you place the sled exactly where you want it. Add in **ProTaper™ handlebars**, hand guards, and a **skid-resistant** floorboard area, and it’s easy to picture long days where control matters as much as horsepower.
Comfort and confidence get their say, too. The **low, tinted LED** lighting keeps the front end looking sharp and helps you ride later when the day runs long. The cockpit brings modern clarity with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus **fuel level** and **temperature warning** info to keep you in the know. Want to stay connected between stops? It’s ready with **Bluetooth® audio** and **mobile app instrumentation**. And when the wind bites, you’ll appreciate **heated, adjustable driver grips** that keep your hands working even when the mountains decide to test you.
Finally, the details that make mountain days easier are all here: a **hydraulic disc rear brake**, belt guard, snow guard, tunnel braces, and a clean one-piece vinyl seat that keeps the rider position simple and focused—because this sled’s job is to make the hard stuff feel possible.
In ****, it doesn’t just look like a mountain sled—it looks like *your* line is next.
