Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R PRO-RMK® 155 in ****—a mountain machine that looks like it was designed to disappear into storm clouds and then reappear on top of the next ridge, daring you to follow. It’s the kind of sled that makes you check the forecast with a grin, not a groan, because every fresh inch is basically an invitation.
At the heart of it is the **Patriot 9R**: a **liquid-cooled**, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line that packs **899 cc** of punch. It’s **fuel injected** (gas/oil injected) and happy on **regular fuel**, so you spend less time fussing and more time finding that untouched bowl. Thumb the throttle and let the **CVT** do what it does best—keep the power smooth and ready while the **belt drive** setup and **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutching help translate your inputs into instant, climb-hungry response. And when the moment calls for backing out of a tight spot or resetting your line, **reverse** is there—no drama, no wrestling match.
Built around the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, this sled keeps things purpose-driven and light on its feet, coming in at a **414 lb dry weight**. The cockpit is all business: a **one-piece vinyl seat** for the solo ride, **rubber grips** with **adjustable heated hand grips**, and a **manual ProTaper™ handlebar** setup that feels natural when you’re standing, leaning, and working the sled through technical terrain. A **tinted LED** setup keeps the vibe modern and the visibility sharp, while the **fuel level** and **temperature** gauges keep you informed without pulling you out of the moment.
Mountain terrain doesn’t care about excuses, so Polaris gave this one suspension to match the mission. Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension offers **9 inches of travel**, paired with **Walker Evans Racing (WER®)** **adjustable gas shocks with remote reservoirs**—coil-over and ready to be dialed for the day’s conditions. Out back, the **PRO-RMK** rear suspension delivers **16 inches of travel** with **two** rear shocks plus a matching **WER® center shock**, all adjustable and remote-reservoir equipped. Translation: confidence when the snow turns choppy, control when the slope gets steep, and composure when you’re hopping from line to line.
The business end is pure climb-and-float: a **Series 8** track measuring **155 x 15 inches** with a towering **2.75-inch lug**. It’s a recipe made for deep snow and technical moves, the kind where you pick a line, commit, and trust that the track will keep clawing forward. Steering stays predictable thanks to **Gripper® skis** with **carbide skags**, and when it’s time to shut things down, the **RMK® hydraulic disc rear brake** brings things back under control.
Little details round out the ready-to-ride feel—**skid-resistant** footing, a **belt guard**, and a **snow guard**—the sort of stuff you appreciate most when you’re miles into the mountains and everything is working exactly like it should.
In ****, this PRO-RMK® doesn’t just look the part—it feels like it’s itching for the next storm cycle. If your idea of a perfect day involves steep faces, deep powder, and that quiet moment on top when the world goes wide and white, this is your ticket.
