Meet the **2027 Polaris 850 RMK® SPS 165 7S** in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it was built to disappear into a powder cloud and reappear on the ridgeline with your grin still showing through your helmet.
At its heart is the **Patriot™ 840**: a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke** horizontal in-line setup with **fuel injection** and **reed valves**, designed to snap to attention the moment your **thumb throttle** says go. It sips from an **11-gallon** tank on **regular fuel**, with **gas/oil injection** handling the mix so you can focus on the next line instead of the next calculation. When it’s time to wake it up on a cold morning, you’ve got classic, no-nonsense **pull start** simplicity—then the **single exhaust** announces that playtime is officially on.
Power meets polish through a **CVT** that keeps the experience smooth and responsive, with **belt drive** and a proven **P-85 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. And because the mountains don’t always offer convenient turnaround points, **reverse** is ready when you need a quick reset in tight terrain.
The personality of this sled is all about balance—big-footed flotation, quick reactions, and a stance you can tune for the day. With a **Series 8 track** stretched to **165 inches** long and **15 inches** wide, plus a towering **2.75-inch lug**, it’s eager to claw for elevation and stay on top when the snow gets deep and the slope gets serious. Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension brings **9 inches** of travel to keep the skis tracking cleanly and predictably, while the rear RMK suspension delivers a generous **16 inches** of travel to soak up hits and keep you driving forward when the terrain turns chaotic. The shocks are **Polaris IFP adjustable gas** units—front, rear, and center—so you can dial in feel without turning your garage into a science project.
Under you is the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and purposeful, wrapped in durable **plastic bodywork**. At a **dry weight of 430 lbs**, it stays lively and responsive—more “pick a line and commit” than “wrestle it into submission.” The **one-piece vinyl seat** keeps the cockpit simple and mountain-appropriate, and the **low, tinted LED** lighting gives a clean look while adding practical visibility when daylight fades faster than expected.
The details are what make long days feel easy. **Heated, adjustable driver grips** help keep your hands fresh. The **skid-resistant** running boards support quick movements when you’re shifting your weight through a sidehill. A **belt guard** and **snow guard** are there for peace of mind when conditions get messy. Up front, **Gripper® skis** with **carbide skags** bring bite and control, and the **ProTaper™ handlebar** steering setup keeps the connection between your inputs and the sled’s response feeling direct and confident.
And when your ride turns into an all-day exploration, you’ll appreciate the built-in **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, along with clear warning and info essentials like a **fuel gauge** and a **temperature warning light**—quiet helpers that let you stay focused on the mountain instead of second-guessing your machine.
Finished in ****, this 850 RMK® SPS 165 7S doesn’t just look the part—it feels ready to climb, carve, and make every untouched bowl look like an invitation.
