Wrapped in ****, this **2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SPS 146 ES 7S** looks like it was built for the kind of mountain days that start with a fresh forecast and end with snow in places you didn’t know your gear had pockets. And while this model also comes in **Gloss Black** and **INDY® Red / White Lightning / Gloss Black**, there’s something about seeing this sled in **** that just feels purpose-built—clean, bold, and ready to point uphill.
At the heart of it is Polaris’ **Patriot™** power: an **840cc**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** setup with **fuel injection** and **gas/oil injection**. Translation: crisp response when you ask for it, and the kind of lively pull that makes a climb feel less like work and more like a dare you’re happy to accept. The **thumb throttle** keeps control right where you want it, and when you’re staging on a slope or maneuvering in tight trees, having **reverse** is the small detail you’ll be grateful for at exactly the right moment.
The ride experience is tuned for the mountains, and it shows in the way everything is set up to stay predictable when terrain gets unpredictable. Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm suspension** offers **9 inches of travel**, paired with **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**. Out back, the **RMK rear suspension** delivers **16 inches of travel** with **two rear shocks** plus a **center shock**, all **Polaris IFP adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**. It’s the kind of suspension package that encourages you to keep going when the snow turns choppy, the line gets technical, or the day starts getting ambitious.
Then there’s the business end—the track. A **Series 6** track in a **146-inch length**, **15-inch width**, and a tall **2.6-inch lug** is exactly the sort of setup that helps this sled feel at home when the snow is deep and the route is more “pick a face” than “follow a trail.” The chassis is built around an **aluminum MATRYX frame**, balancing strength and a lightweight feel, while details like **skid-resistant floorboards**, **tunnel braces**, and protective pieces like a **belt guard** and **snow guard** keep things ready for real use—not just showroom admiration.
Steering feels deliberate and connected thanks to **ProTaper™ handlebars** and **manual steering**, with **hand guards** helping keep the elements from turning your ride into an endurance test. And when it’s time to rein it in, **RMK® hydraulic disc braking** provides confident control on the way back down or when you need to settle the sled before the next move.
Comfort and tech are handled with the same mountain-minded approach. You get a **low-height LED headlight** that’s **tinted**, a **one-piece vinyl seat**, and **heated, adjustable driver grips** that make cold starts and long rides far more enjoyable. The dash experience is backed by **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus **Bluetooth® audio** and **mobile app instrumentation**, so you can keep tabs on your ride while staying connected to the plan. Practical alerts like a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light** help you stay focused on the snow instead of guessing what’s happening under the hood.
With an **electric start**, **CVT transmission**, and an **11-gallon fuel capacity**, this RMK® SPS is ready for the kind of day where you explore first and check the clock later. In ****, it doesn’t just look the part—it looks like the sled that’s already halfway up the mountain before the rest of the crew has finished adjusting their gloves.
