Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R INDY® XCR® 137 in ****—a trail-bred performance sled that looks fast even while it’s sitting still. The stance is purposeful, the lines are sharp, and that color gives it the kind of “clear the lane” presence you want when the ride plan is simple: go farther, push harder, grin more.



Thumb the throttle and the personality shows up immediately. At the heart of this machine is the **Patriot 9R**—a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line engine with **reed valve** induction, **899cc** of displacement, and **fuel injection** that’s ready to respond when you are. It runs on **regular fuel** with **gas/oil injection**, and it’s backed by an **electric start** for those cold mornings when you’d rather be riding than negotiating with winter. The exhaust is **single**, the delivery is crisp, and the whole package feels built for riders who measure fun in corners and straightaways.



Power is sent through a **continuously variable (CVT) transmission** with **belt drive**, using a **P-85 / TEAM LWT clutch** setup, and yes—there’s **reverse** for the moments when the trail narrows or the parking area gets crowded. It’s the kind of drivetrain that makes the experience feel seamless: roll on, hook up, and let the sled do what it does best.



Underneath that attitude is the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and purposeful with a lightweight feel. The sled measures **120 in. long**, **47 in. wide**, and **46 in. tall**, with a **42.5 in. ski stance**—a confident, planted setup that feels ready to carve. Dry weight comes in at **500 lb**, with an **11.5-gallon** fuel capacity so the day doesn’t have to end early.



Up front, you get an **independent A-arm** front suspension with **9.5 inches** of travel, matched to **WER® Velocity adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs** and **shock-mounted adjustment** so you can tune the ride to your trail, your pace, and your preferences. Out back, the **PRO-CC rear suspension** brings **16.2 inches** of travel with **two rear shocks**, plus a **WER® Velocity center shock**—all adjustable, all remote-reservoir, all aimed at keeping the sled composed when the trail stops being polite.



Steering is **manual** via **handlebars**, with **Pro-Steer™ composite skis** up front and **carbide skags** to help keep the line honest. For stopping power, it’s equipped with **Matryx Race Radial** brakes and a **hydraulic disc** rear brake—strong, consistent control when the next corner shows up quicker than expected.



The business end meets the snow with a **Cobra Track**: **137 inches** long, **15 inches** wide, with **1.35-inch** lugs. It’s a sweet spot for riders who want trail precision with the kind of bite that encourages you to stay on the throttle a little longer.



Inside the cockpit, it’s all about ride time and comfort. You’ve got a **one-piece vinyl seat** for a single rider, **heated, adjustable driver hand grips**, **hand guards**, and practical touches like a **belt guard** and **snow guard**. There’s even **underseat storage** (1.8 gallons) for the essentials. Lighting is **LED** with a **tinted mid-height** setup, and the dash brings **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus a **fuel gauge** and a **temperature warning light**—because knowing what’s ahead (and what’s going on) is part of going fast with confidence.



If you’re choosing colors, this model is offered in **Polaris Blue Metallic / White Lightning / Indy Red**—but in ****, it’s got its own unmistakable vibe: bold, sharp, and ready to turn every trail into your favorite stretch of winter.
