Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R INDY® VR1 Dynamix 137 in ****—a color that looks right at home parked outside the lodge, yet somehow even better blasting down a frozen straightaway with snow dust curling off the track. This sled is built for riders who want their trail miles to feel less like commuting and more like a victory lap.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot 9R**: a **turbocharged**, **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **horizontal in-line**, **2-stroke** built to make every thumb input feel instantly rewarded. With **899cc** of displacement and **fuel injection** (gas/oil injected) sipping **regular fuel**, it’s the kind of modern performance that’s ready when you are—hit the **electric start**, settle into the rhythm, and let the single exhaust sing its crisp, energetic note as the CVT goes to work. Power delivery is handled through a **continuously variable (CVT)** setup with **belt drive**, matched to a **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutching package for that smooth “always in the zone” feel. And when the trail gets tight or the parking lot gets awkward, **reverse** is there to keep things easy.
The ride lives on Polaris’ **MATRYX** aluminum frame—light, purposeful, and designed around the rider. Everything from the **mid-height tinted windshield** to the **one-piece vinyl seat** supports what the VR1 is about: staying comfortable while you keep the pace up. The cockpit is all business in the best way—**thumb throttle**, **manual handlebar steering**, **rubber grips**, plus **heated, adjustable driver hand grips** and **hand guards** for those days when the temperature drops but your plans don’t.
Suspension is where this INDY® VR1 really turns fun into confidence. Up front you’ve got **independent A-arm** suspension with **9.5 inches** of travel, controlled by **Fox® Dynamix** adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs (coil-over, too). Out back, the **PRO-CC** rear suspension brings **16.2 inches** of travel with **two rear Fox® Dynamix** remote-reservoir shocks and a matching **Fox® Dynamix** center shock—adjustable and ready to help keep the sled composed when the trail goes from smooth sweepers to surprise chop. Add in **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** with **carbide skags**, and you get that planted, precise bite that makes corner entries feel natural and exits feel addictive.
Then there’s the track: a **Cobra Track** measuring **137 inches** long and **15 inches** wide, with **1.35-inch lugs**. It’s a sweet spot for trail performance—enough footprint to hook up and stay stable, yet still eager to change direction when you ask. With a stance set at **42.5 inches**, the chassis keeps a confident posture that encourages you to push just a little harder each mile.
Control and visibility are handled with a clean, modern setup: bright **LED lighting** up front, and **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS** keeping you oriented and connected. You also get **Bluetooth® audio** and **mobile app instrumentation**, plus the practical stuff you actually use—**fuel level gauge**, **temperature warning light**, and even **underseat storage** (1.8 gallons / 8.1 liters) for gloves, tools, or the “I might need this later” essentials. Details like a **belt guard**, **snow guard**, and **skid-resistant** floorboard area round out a package that’s clearly designed by people who ride.
In ****, this 2027 INDY® VR1 Dynamix 137 doesn’t just look fast standing still—it’s built to turn winter into your favorite season, one perfectly carved corner at a time.
