Meet the 2027 Polaris Patriot 9R RMK® Factory Edition 155 2.75 in ****—a mountain sled that looks like it’s already plotting its next line before you even snap your helmet strap. It’s part of a short, sharp color lineup (Matte Black Crystal / White Lightning and Matte Black Crystal / Indy Red / Sky Blue are also on the menu), but this **** setup brings its own kind of attitude: clean, bold, and ready to stand out against an endless backdrop of white.
At the heart of this machine is the **Patriot 9R**—a liquid-cooled, **2-cylinder**, **2-stroke** horizontal in-line engine with **reed valve** configuration and **fuel injection**. With **899 cc** of displacement, it’s the kind of powerplant that feels purpose-built for riders who measure their fun in vertical feet and untracked zones. It runs on **regular fuel**, with **gas / oil injection**, and it lights off the old-school, confidence-inspiring way: **pull start**. Simple, direct, and ready when the trailhead disappears behind you.
Power delivery is handled through a **continuously variable (CVT)** setup with **belt** drive, backed by a **P-22 / TEAM LWT** clutch package. Translation: it’s built to keep the engine in the happy place when conditions change—powder one second, technical sidehill the next. And when you need it, **reverse** is there to save you from the occasional “well, that was optimistic” parking choice.
This RMK is built on the **MATRYX aluminum frame**, keeping things strong and light where it matters. With a **dry weight of 429 lbs**, it’s engineered for the mountain category’s constant push-and-pull between agility and stability. The stance is adjustable too, with ski stance spanning from **36 to 38 inches**, letting you tune the feel for your terrain and style.
Up front, the **RMK® React™ independent A-arm** suspension gives you **9 inches** of travel, paired with **WER® Velocity** adjustable gas shocks with **remote reservoirs** (and coil-over design). Out back, you’ve got **16 inches** of rear travel with **two rear shocks**, plus a matching **WER® Velocity** center shock—also adjustable, also remote-reservoir equipped. It’s the kind of suspension package that invites you to ride longer, push harder, and still come back for “one more” when your legs are saying otherwise.
The business end is pure mountain intent: a **Series 8** track measuring **155 inches** long and **15 inches** wide, with towering **2.75-inch lugs**. That’s a lot of bite for digging in, climbing out, and keeping momentum when the snow gets deep and the route gets questionable (in the best way). Up front, **Gripper® skis** with **carbide skags** help keep the steering predictable when you’re threading through rough, uneven terrain.
Control points are set up for real riding, not showroom posing. You steer with **ProTaper® handlebars**, manage speed with a **thumb throttle**, and settle into a **one-piece vinyl seat** made for a single pilot with a mission. The **RMK® hydraulic disc brake** is there when gravity tries to negotiate a faster schedule than you planned.
And because modern mountain rides often include modern planning, this sled comes equipped with **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, plus **Bluetooth® audio**, **mobile app instrumentation**, and clear gauge-based warnings for **temperature** and **fuel level**. Lighting is **LED**, the windshield is **low** and **tinted**, and your hands stay happier thanks to **adjustable heated grips**.
From the first pull to the last climb, this **** 2027 RMK Factory Edition is built for riders who don’t just ride the mountain—they go looking for new ways to redraw it.
