Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R INDY® VR1 137 in ****—a trail-bred, performance-first snowmobile that looks fast sitting still and feels even faster the moment your thumb finds the throttle. The **** finish gives it a sharp, purposeful presence, like it’s already picked a line and is just waiting for you to catch up.
At the heart of this machine is the **Patriot 9R** powerplant: a **liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, horizontal in-line, 2-stroke** setup with **reed valve** configuration and **899 cc** of displacement. It’s also **turbocharged**, so when the trail opens up, it doesn’t just build speed—it surges. Fueling is handled by **fuel injection** with **gas / oil injected** delivery, and it’s happy on **regular** fuel. Hit the button for the **electric start**, settle in, and let the exhaust note from the **single** system set the tone for what’s next.
Power gets to the snow through a **CVT** that keeps things smooth and responsive, backed by **belt** drive and a proven **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutch setup. There’s **reverse** for those tight moments when the trail (or the parking spot) gets a little too clever.
Built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame** with **plastic** bodywork, this sled is designed to feel precise and planted without losing that playful, flickable character riders chase on a performance trail machine. With a dry weight of **504 lb** and a confident stance at **42.5 in**, it feels eager to carve and predictable when you’re pushing your pace.
Up front, the ride is controlled by **independent A-arm** suspension with **9.5 in** of travel, paired with **Walker Evans Racing (WER®) adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**—and yes, they’re **coil over**. Out back, the **PRO-CC** rear suspension brings **16.2 in** of travel with **two** rear shocks, plus a **WER®** center shock, all adjustable with **shock mounted adjustment** so you can dial things in for your kind of trail day—fast, choppy, smooth, or all of the above.
Steering is classic and direct: **manual** control through the handlebar. The sled rides on **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** with **carbide** skags, giving you that crisp bite when you tip it into a corner and want it to hold the line.
Traction comes courtesy of the **Cobra Track**—a **137 in** long, **15 in** wide track with **1.35 in** lugs—ready to hook up when the snow gets loose and keep things driving forward when you’re hard on the throttle. And when it’s time to rein it back in, you’ve got **Matryx Stealth** braking with a **hydraulic disc** rear brake for strong, controlled stopping power.
The cockpit is made for real miles. A **mid-height tinted LED** windshield helps take the edge off the wind, while **heated, adjustable** driver hand grips and **hand guards** keep you comfortable when the temperature drops. Practical touches—like a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, **skid resistant** running boards, and **1.8 gal** of underseat storage—make it easier to focus on riding instead of fussing.
And when you want your ride to feel as modern as it is fast, it’s ready: **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation** bring your ride data and connectivity along for the adventure, with clear alerts like a **temperature warning light** and a **fuel level gauge**.
If you’re looking for a trail performance sled that blends turbocharged excitement, confident handling, and a cockpit built for long, happy miles—this **** INDY® VR1 137 is ready to turn your next ride into the one you keep talking about.
